With a chorus of more than three thousand people that yesterday marched along the streets of Los Angeles, the phrase of "Si se Puede" was heard strong and far, during the tenth commemoration of the birthday of Caesar Chávez, underlining that the bequest of the rural leader remains present.

"¡Social justice! Legalization! and Chicano power!", was heard from students, professors, activists, priests and workers that face deportation; all of them paraded with flags of Mexico and the United States, placards and ballons.

"Build schools, not prisons", read one of the banners in the walk of a mile long that was headed by Dolores Huerta, who once was a comrad of the dead leader.

Chicano power!"

Imagine if a group of white people chanted White Power! Anytime the word "Power" and a race is placed next to it, it is a Race Superiority chant. I can't believe the media is not reporting this!!

build schools not prison !! Sorry but where broke . Build your own down in Mexico .
Illegal is just that , a law breaker
Dubya - Worst president in the now short history of the USA

Chicano studies need to be removed from all college campuses asap! We don't want this racist crap in America.

Only Mexicans and illegal aliens march in the streets and chant ridiculous things.

And not on one news station!! Darn those Mexican Flags would have sent a great message!!

But saw a news clip this morning on a local channel. They were showing some old collectors-type cars and amidst them were flags. The men interviewed mentioned many people think they are gang bangers but they aren't. It was a typical nicely protrayed broadcast from San Diego.

It's ok to be proud of one's culture but after the big marches of May 1, 2006 where it looked like a conquest here I don't view their flag waving as simply being proud of their culture anymore.
