Jose Angel Gutierrez, political science
professor and former head of the Mexican-American Studies
Center at the University of Texas, Arlington, is a busy man.
Gutierrez was recently in Mexico City at
the invitation of the Mexican government to participate in the
Bi-national Reconquista Jamboree reported in my last column.
The very next day (April 30th, 2004), he
was in Kansas City speaking at something called the
“Latino Civil Rights Summit.”
There he boasted that:
“We are the future of America.
Unlike any prior generation, we now have the critical mass.
We’re going to Latinize this country.”
In a puff piece on the conference, Lewis
W. Diuguid of the Kansas City Star reported that
“Gutierrez said people from Mexico, Central and South
America are not immigrating to the United States. They are
simply migrating because this land had been
theirs…Hispanics should never put up with others telling
them to go back where they came from.” [Hispanics will
help build future of U.S., April 18th, 2004]
That argument, based on absurd historical
claims, completely invalidates the existence of the U.S.A.
Gutierrez also discussed Hispanic
demographics. He told the audience that half of the Hispanic
population is under the age of 21 and that for every Latino who
dies, 5 white people die!
Gutierrez has been saying this sort of
thing for some time. Speaking in California in 1995, he said:
“The border remains a military zone.
We remain a hunted people. Now you think you have a destiny to
fulfill in the land that historically has been ours for forty
thousand years. And we’re a new Mestizo nation. And they
want us to discuss civil rights. Civil rights. What law made by
white men to oppress all of us of color, female and male. This
is our homeland. We cannot, we will not, and we must not be
made illegal in our own homeland. We are not immigrants that
came from another country to another country. We are migrants,
free to travel the length and breadth of the Americas because
we belong here. We are millions. We just have to survive. We
have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They
are dying. It’s a matter of time. The explosion is in our
population.”
The same themes as Kansas City: a
claim to U.S. territory, denial that the U.S. is a legitimate
nation-state, exultation over Hispanic demographic growth.
If a white English-speaking American
expresses displeasure over the prediction that his ethnic group
(if present trends continue) is destined to lose its majority
status, he will be called a “racist.”
But Hispanic activists publicly gloat over
the increase of their ethnic group. Why isn’t that
racist?
Who is Jose Angel Gutierrez? He’s
technically an American citizen, born in Crystal City, Texas,
in 1944, an example of the great National Question truth that,
just because the cat has kittens in the oven, that
doesn’t make them biscuits.
He is an activist and lawyer, has served
as county judge in Texas, and is an author who has penned such
classics as A Chicano Manual On How
To Handle Gringos. Since his youth,
he has been active in the Chicano movement, and was one of the
founders of MAYO, the Mexican American Youth Organization.
Texas Democratic Congressman Henry B.
Gonzalez made some interesting comments about MAYO, entered in
the Congressional Record, April 3rd, 1969:
“MAYO styles itself the embodiment
of good and the Anglo-American as the incarnation of evil. That
is not merely ridiculous, it is drawing fire from the deepest
wellsprings of hate. The San Antonio leader of MAYO, Jose Angel
Gutierrez, may think himself something of a hero, but he is, in
fact, only a benighted soul if he believes that in the espousal
of hatred he will find love. He is simply deluded if he
believes that the wearing of fatigues . . . makes his followers
revolutionaries . . . One cannot fan the flames of bigotry one
moment and expect them to disappear the next.” (Nativist
and Racist Movements in the U.S. and their Aftermath, Yale-New
Haven Teachers Institute, Henry A. Rhodes)
Back then. Gutierrez said:
“We have got to eliminate the
gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the
worst, we have got to kill him.”
Later, Gutierrez told The San Antonio
Express and News (April 11th, 1969) that the term
“Gringo” referred to a bigoted and racist
individual or institution. And “kill” just meant
the elimination of the political, economic and social
foundation of “the Gringo.”
Oh, well that’s OK then!
Bottom line - Gutierrez wants gringos out
of Texas.
Here are excerpts from an interview in
2000:
Q: “If the main goal (of the old
Chicano movement) then was to reclaim Aztlan and control all
the institutions of civil society, what is the main goal
now?”
GUTIERREZ’ answer: “I think it
is still the same thing. You hear the Hispanic Republicans talk
about the same thing. … this idea has even been co-opted
by the Republicans. ….The Hispanic Democrats and
Mexican-American Democrats and Tejano Democrats, synonymous in
Texas, they are doing the same thing…..”
Q: “How are Mexican immigrants of
today different from Mexican immigrants of decades ago?”
GUTIERREZ:” They are different in
one salient aspect…they are keeping their Mexicanness.
..The Mexicanos that are coming today, even though they are
political refugees and migrants returning to their homeland,
are keeping their Mexicanness ... They are recreating Mexico
here. I think they are doing it because of the sheer numbers.
…”
(Fort Worth Star Telegram, October 18th,
2000)
Quite so. Isn’t that just what
we’ve been saying here at VDARE.com? The interview
continues:
Q: What is irredentism [ethnic
nationalism], and what evidence do you see that it is
happening?
Gutierrez: “The evidence is
their display of their Mexicanness. …These folks now are
engaged in active political activity in the U.S. which is
unprecedented. They are truly bi-national citizens. It’s
not uncommon to see undocumented Mexicans protesting in front
of INS in downtown Dallas. ….They have also now gotten
dual citizenship. … [The] Chicano generation…only
wanted to carve out half of [19th-century Mexico]…. These
folks want it all. They want to recreate all of Mexico and join
all of Mexico into one. And they are going to do that, even if
it’s just demographically… They are going to have
political sovereignty over the Southwest and many parts of the
Midwest.”
Jose Angel Gutierrez is not a madman.
Gutierrez is a man who has dedicated his life to a cause.
And he now senses triumph is at hand.
He’s been doing this in George W.
Bush’s Texas, at a university for which Bush had ultimate
responsibility. (UT is a state university, its Board of Regents
is appointed by the Governor.)
We ask, not for the first time: What is
Bush thinking?
