400 Years Of Oppression

Posted on Jul 4th, 2007 by

there's no question that a celebration is in order

let us remember the slaves and the slaughter

all the graves of the sons and the daughters

there are conquerors and then the subjugated

come on say something it makes me so frustrated

heard that there will be reps here from Spain

they should be paying some restitution explain

pride in these ancestors is like Germans

who are proud of the Holocaust and Hitler

how does that comparison hit ya?

(reaction to Santa Fe's upcoming 400th Anniversary)

I know, I know. Yet at the very same time I love the Spanish culture here as well. It is a paradox; we live a paradox.
