This appeared on my town board last night. Read under the 'The Truth.' Sounds like an Atzlan statement? Hope to God this isn't someone who lives in Waukegan. What's it all about?!

QUESTIONS & STATEMENTS

FOUR QUESTIONS

1) Did Europeans steal our land and its resources? If this is true, why don't they return what they have stolen if they are "Christian" and civilized as they claim? And what is the departure date from our lands?

2) Did Europeans intentionally kill 60 to 100 million (95%) of the population of the "Western Hemisphere"? If they did, where is the apology, the reparations, and what is the departure date from our lands?

3) Did Europeans intentionally destroy our cities, libraries, art, education system (our civilizations); and then systematically massacre our entire leadership? If this is true, why are they not working to undo all of that monstrous damage? And what is the departure date from our lands?

4) Are Europeans making themselves wealthy from the stolen wealth of our farmland, forests, and all of the mineral resources of our land? If this is true, then why are they not at least sharing some small piece of the vast amounts of wealth that they are stealing from us? And what is the departure date from our lands? How about at least educating people on these crimes, and an apology?



FIVE STATEMENTS

1) We will not be defined by Europeans as to who we are as a people ("Latino/Hispanic" labels), nor will we accept their self-serving racist versions of history.

2) We will not be limited by Europeans as to our place in the world or our rights to the wealth of our land, or our heritage.

3) The crimes of Genocide, racial rape, cultural castration, the theft of our wealth and land, and the countless other European crimes of the last 500 years do not mean that we are finished as a people---nor does it mean that we have been permanently enslaved and assimilated as a nation.

4) For those Europeans (and the traitors amongst our own people) who say that we are racist and "too angry" in pointing out this history of racism, colonialism, and Genocide. To you, we ask:

Do you want us to accept the theft of our land and its wealth and to allow Europeans to keep calling it "a gift made to us by the natives of this land"?

Do you want us to call the monstrous Genocide of our people "an unfortunate series of events"?

What does your accusing us of racism in light of so much European racism and crimes say about you? It says that you have no guilt or shame. It says that you are worse than a beast! Even a dog knows shame.

5) We will define our place in the world, based on the Anahuac heritage of our ancestors. We will do this in the venerable ways of our Anahuac education systems, as we see fit, in the collective interests of our people. We will do this with a vision that will liberate our people from the colonized condition in which we exist today.
