Carlos de Leon loses his temper as a Brown Beret

On March 28, 2009, the Texas Indigenous Council did not want to move from the line placement at the 13th Annual Cesar E. Chavez March for Justice. The Co-Founder to the Cesar E. Chavez March for Justice, Mr. Antonio Diaz received a case against him in which he was not allowed to speak on stage at Guadalupe Plaza. This later escalated to other forms of aggression by Jaime Martinez and Gabriel Quintero Velasquez in which they use bullies to treat people with forms of violence in a non-violent march for justice. It shows the true colors of Jaime Martinez and his group called the Cesar E. Chavez Legacy and Educational Foundation/Fund. Mr. Antonio Diaz has been fighting for equal rights and equal air time at Cesar E. Chavez events in San Anto. The Brown Berets were never in numbers like on March 28, 2009. When the march first started 12 years ago, Brown Berets were extinct in San Anto and Mr. Diaz helped create the Cesar E. Chavez March for Justice along with other co-founders to include Mr. Jaime Martinez. I have marched in 11 of the Cesar E. Chavez March for Justice in San Anto. The Brown Berets started to come around in 2006, during the height of immigrant rights movement. Today, the Brown Berets are organized in Colorado, New Mexico, abd Tejaztlan, and have their badges united in their garments that they wear. The Brown Berets are a powerful organization in San Anto and show violence when they are not having it their way, however; they can be a powerful tool if they are organized as Barrio Leaders who will uplift our people in the 21st Century. We must be united, not against each other. Mr. Jaime Martinez and Gabriel Quintero Velasquez are creating this division in San Anto. Viva Los Brown Berets! Down with Jaime Martinez and Gabriel Velasquez!

do you pick crops?

@Jackyl16 "Where am I wrong at?"

Virtually everything that you said was bullshit. Slavery was certainly a part of this country, but had little to do with the industrial north east. The current country of Mexico didn't exist until the expulsion of the French ca. 1860, long after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. And when it comes to jobs, you shouldn't try to judge your fellow citizens by your own lard ass.

@xSonsofSunsx You can't educate people that think they are entitled to something, they don't seem to realize that there was no America until we developed the laws and infrastructure that created it. It basically wouldn't exist it would be much like the many existing impoverished towns in Mexico. California and other states belong to the US and thats the way it is. They want something after the fact, its ridiculous logic on their part. Thanks for posting the treaty info,

@xSonsofSunsx The cession included parts of the modern-day U.S. states of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming, as well as the whole of California, Nevada, and Utah. The remaining parts of what are today the states of Arizona and New Mexico were later ceded under the 1853 Gadsden Purchase.

@777MexicanPride777 The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was the peace treaty that ended the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). The treaty provided for the Mexican Cession, in which Mexico ceded 1.36 million km² (525,000 square miles) to the United States in exchange for USD$15 million. The United States also agreed to take over $3.25 million in debts Mexico owed to American citizens.

@xSonsofSunsx watch the video ! u.s. stole it and didnt pay it and nothing was signed

[xSonsofSunsx]

@777MexicanPride777 Talking about the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, and the Gadsden purchase? Yes, the land was ceded to America by the Mexican government in the Mexican-American war back in the 1850's. The land is legally U.S. territory.

Mexico stole the land from Spain; the rightful owners of what is now the Southern United States was Spanish territory, not your Aztec Indians.

@777Mexicanpride777- I support Latinos here in America, but please don't sound stupid. Arizona, along with the rest of the Southwest, was won durning the Mexican-American war and according to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in which the Mexican gov. signed, gave tbe area now known as Arizona to the United States for about 15 million dollars. Hardly was that stealing, this was 1840s and 14million dollars was a LOT of money back then. Please learn your history, quite sounding stupid.

@Jackyl16 arizona was stolen from mexico!

[Jackyl16]

DHarri9977- And? I am fuckin proud to be a bleeding heart liberal, but assuming I am uneducated is just plain wrong...what statement did I make that was wrong? Was this country not built on tne back of slavery? Was Arizona not once part of Mexico? And is it not true that us white people aretoo lazy to scrub toliets after strangers in a hotel, or work a field in the middle of the summer? Where am I wrong at?
