La Raza was built on a white supremacist ideology n these folks don't even know it

Why did this documentary not mention Oscar Zeta Acosta - he played a major role as the attorney for the Ela13

Why? How have you been kept from flourishing as an American.

@@jayAZ9670 How ? How about the government steal your million dollar Bay Area home and sell it to a new settler because of your Race … then deport you to Mexico when you’re been an American longer the existence of this country

Dona Maria Marquez de McLeland of Florence,AZ was my great-great grand mother and grand mother of my father Manuel McLeland Delci (DelCid) of Florence and Chandler, AZ.

I wish they could do a cover the zoot suit riots. U know I ask people from my race about zoot suits riot. The ones who know see. The learnt because of American me.

orele vato! I was 11 when I realized I didnt like white people, how old were you?

It's called American simulation my brother! It's the same reason they are trying to erase history today by banning certain books and dictating what is allowed to be teached in school.

I know events like zoot suit riot u really did see mutch about. Seems today people learn about it from movies like American me

I know that a lot of it had to do with the very dangerous street gangs and in the very area my mom and dad grew up the Highland Park/Cypress Park area, The Avenues were horrible drug dealing and murdering thugs. It took a heck of a lot of time to finally break them up...I understand what you're talking about because my dad, a second generation Mexican-American, couldn't wait to get out of the area where his parents lived and move to the San Gabriel area..My mom graduated from Franklin in 1951 when the school was very much white...My dad went to Cathedral where sports, especially football, became his religion. The funny thing is that now that I live in Downtown LA because I love the culture of the city, I always end up in Highland Park to shop or just do stuff like sit at Sycamore Park were our old parish, Divine Savior, where I was baptized, used to have their annual family picnics.

Sergio Rodriguez Some of us that are 1st generation who grew up in East LA and become professionals represent “La Raza,” in different arenas. We carry the humility and integrity that were derived from living in “the hood” and use that to help those who experience the same struggles. The difference is that we don’t limit ourselves to working only in the hoods that we grew up in. Some of us serve as catalyst for change in the hood, in the schools, in the hospitals, and all over the world because truth be told “La Raza” is everywhere. The “bettering of the community “ can stem from simply being a kid who grew up in the Wyvernwood projects, going to Roosevelt, getting a bachelors, receiving a masters and going on to becoming a director of a program. The bettering comes from not being another statistic and betting the odds. It can also be reflected in the narratives that we share about how our lives circumstances cannot be used as an excuse for failure. From my opinion, La Raza is more than just a term, that is used to categorize an ethnic culture, it is a trait that is embedded in the life of a person who experienced oppression, discrimination, and unfair treatment and for those reasons we inherit GANAS to prove the world that we are good enough or better than. It is a characteristic that can be labeled as a side effect of the struggle.

@@Lala-tr9hf I agree with most of what you said but what's good of bettering yourself for the community if you turn your back on the very same community?

Sergio Rodriguez we don’t turn our back on the community, we look at it as the catalyst of our dreams because that’s where it all began and we go back to it as volunteers, outreach, teachers, and provide mentoring or internships. We are active participants of change and creators of hope. We walk the talk because we lived the hustle.

@@Lala-tr9hf but yet we still have RAZA that support Donald Trump yeah right lol
