    HBO Prmoting LARAZA and AZT

    On the tv guide channel there is a person that holds up a sign that reads:

    VIVA AZTLAN

    Edward James Olmos directs this HBO Films drama that tells the true but little-known story of a group of Chicano students who staged a compelling 1968 walkout to protest the injustices of the public high-school system in East Los Angeles. Starring Alexa Vega as Paula Crisostomo, an idealistic honor student who refuses to "play it safe" in a school system that clearly discriminates against Chicanos, instead banding with a group of activists to coordinate a multi- school walkout of students. Mentored by her charismatic teacher Sal Castro (Michael Peña), Paula learns that sometimes the price for progress is high -- but it's ultimately worth paying.

    Sorry William, you are not wrong.
    I, as a Hispanic can carry that sign but my husband, because he's white
    (heaven forbid, he's a white-European) would be called a racist.
    And they wonder why people get upset.

    YES, you are RIGHT, W! But if we white people would show any hint of "White Pride" on a sign or banner, we would be called the KKK. I guess it's alright for Hispanics to proclaim their pride for their race, just like they think it's alright to break US laws
