This a clip that I just uploaded about Reies Tijerina. He was a pro-Mexican racist and preferred Spanish, but I believe he spoke in Spanish in this case, also, because he did not want too many non-Hispanics to understand it. Via YouTube, everyone can now be informed. Be sure captions is enabled for an English translation. Click on the cogged-wheel (setup) at the bottom of the video.

Reies Tijerina was a revolutionary radical in New Mexico during the 1960's. This clip is an excerpt of an speech he made on May 9, 1969. He is called one of "Four Horsemen," which are considered founders of the radical Chicano Movement which had it's hay day in the late 1960's and 1970's. Today it is part of the much related, somewhat broader La Raza movement. In this clip he lays out his racialist vision for the American Southwest and the entire Western Hemisphere being dominated by a new, brown Race (La Raza).
Tijerina cites Jose Vasconcelos as the inspiration for his vision. Vasconcelos developed a Nazi-like racialist theory for the mestizo race in his book, La Raza Cosmica, published in 1925. He was a Nazi sympathizer and a paid Nazi propagandist during the 1930's and WWII.

This is a clip that I sent out earlier about Jose Vasconcelos, who developed the Nazi-like La Raza concept with his book, La Raza Cosmica.
