INK_BLAST | COLLEGES HAVE TO HELP MORE LATINOS CROSS THE STAGE
2008-09-16 17:25:00 Too few Latinos graduated from college this year, and every year. While Latinos make up 13.5 percent of the U.S. population, we account for only 7 percent of the bachelor?s degrees, according to the National Center for Educational Statistics. Based on reading similar accounts and on years of mentoring young people and helping my siblings graduate college, I can tell you that it comes down to three essential things.

Pop quiz: Did you know that you may lose your television service in less th
2008-04-14 02:50:00 Is the answer to the above question “No?” Well, that’s part of the problem–millions of Americans are in the same boat, and they are equally unaware of the situation The basic gist is this: On February 17, 2009, “over-the-air” (OTA) broadcast television stations that use analog signals (which you pick up through the familiar “rabbit-ear” antennae) are switching to digital signals, which means that unless you have a strong enough antenna set and a special set-top converter box, your television will not be able to pick up the new signals. The government’s official DTV site gives a concise description of the whole event. Cable and satellite subscribers will also be unaffected, because cable systems work with analog signals and satellite programming requires its own tuner. This may lead you to think “Well, that solves the problem right there–who still watches regular broadcast TV?” The answer is a lot of peopleR...

Democrats are second-class citizens in eyes of corporate media
2008-01-11 23:51:00 Today’s Guest Scrogue is Natasha Chart. BooMan pointed out that Edwards’ message isn’t resonating with the natural constituencies that you’d think it would: hyper-partisan and low income voters. I’ve heard people say that it’s because Edwards is appealing to fear or anger and it turns people off, but I think that misses the point. Then there’s the fact that he doesn’t get much press coverage at all, and that almost gets it right. He’s angry and uses fear in a way that turns the press off, so no one else gets to hear what he says. Why, though? Let me suggest that one of the reasons Democrats have a hard time pushing fear messages is because they’re accorded second-class status by the press. Defining what people are supposed to be afraid of is the right of an authority figure, which the media never act like they take Democrats to be. Their disrespectful behavior is evidence enough. Second class citizens are supposed to be ch...

Oscar Zeta Acosta: One of God?s own prototypes
2008-01-04 17:40:00 When I was asked to do a writeup for Oscar Zeta Acosta as our latest Scroguero, I was happy to do it. I, like most people who hear Oscar’s name, know him for his literary works, Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo (1972) and The Revolt of the Cockroach People (1973). As I was doing my research, though, I realized that Oscar?a legendary, compelling figure in Chicano history?remains in the shadows of the general American culture. He has never really gotten his due. Acosta’s name is not one that rings many bells today, and if it does, most people remember him as being the inspiration for Dr. Gonzo, the character immortalized in Hunter S. Thompson’s book, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. In Fear, the character of Dr. Gonzo?a man with a gargantuan appetite for food, drugs and dangerous living?is the perfect complement to Thompson’s journalist alter ego, Raoul Duke, who uses his assignment to cover an off-road race as an excuse to overindulge in booze and drugs in Veg...

Courting the Latino vote
2007-12-13 16:41:00 In recent years, at the start of each new election cycle, the political cliché describing the Latino/a population is the “sleeping giant.” If awakened, it would have a profound impact on America’s political and social landscape. The Latino voting community has recently emerged as a critical political force in American presidential elections. Except for Cuban-Americans in Florida, many Latinos/as have supported the Democratic Party. With the increasing numbers of Latinos/as, there has been a surge of interest in mobilizing Latino political participation. Both Democrats and Republicans know that no serious politician can ignore the Latina/o vote. However, courting the Latina/o vote has become a political conundrum for both parties. In an effort to confront the “immigration problem,” both parties have been walking a very thin rope, which could bring monumental, long-term damage to both Democratic and Republican Parties. These effects have already been felt...

S&R?s Edmundo Rocha awarded Silver Star by Texas Progressive Alliance
2007-12-07 18:44:00 Scholars & Rogues has enjoyed some collective recognition in its brief history, and now one of our writers has been singled out for individual acclaim. Major props to Edmundo Rocha, whose Silver Star nod from the Texas Progressive Alliance is extremely well-deserved. Blending heavy-handed social critiques, local and national politics, and a heaping dose of common sense in his blog, Edmundo Rocha tackles heavy topics like immigration, teenage pregnancy, racial and gender politics, and backs up everything with a sense of style and spirit. With a loyal and unwavering audience (his Texan of the Year nomination, in fact, was suggested in the comments of a blog by one of Edmundo?s readers), Rocha has rapidly become one of the state?s most prominent Latino bloggers. No issue is too tough, and none taboo for this blogger. (Source.) In addition to his contributions here, Edmundo is the force behind the highly influential ¡Para Justicia y Libertad!. On behalf of the entire S&R communi...

“Un grupo de latinos nos dio sopapos en un vagón del metro por criti
2007-11-14 10:36:00 Javier Gutiérrez y su amigo, que prefiere mantenerse en el anonimato, aún se están recuperando de la agresión que sufrieron el sábado por la noche en un vagón de la LÃnea 1 del metro. Los chicos, estudiantes universitarios, cogieron el metro cuando salieron del supermercado en el que trabajan y se metieron en el suburbano junto con la novia de uno de ellos. A la altura de la estación de Bilbao, y “después de comentar la actuación de Hugo Chávez”, en la cumbre iberomericana, tres suramericanos «con estética de latin king nos dijeron: ‘¡Qué pasa!, que te hemos oÃdo; a ver qué vas diciendo por ahà de los latinos; no serás un racista de ésos’”. Acto seguido cogieron al amigo de Javier y “le metieron el puño en la cara y en la nuez” mientras los suramericanos les decÃan: “¿Veis este cigarrillo? Pues os lo vamos a meter por el culo”. Los insultos y los “sopapos” continuaron (”nos arrearon bien”, c...

U.S. Lets in More Immigrants for Farms
2007-10-08 03:18:00 With a nationwide farmworker shortage threatening to leave unharvested fruits and vegetables rotting in fields, the Bush administration has begun quietly rewriting federal regulations to eliminate barriers that restrict how foreign laborers can legally be brought into the country. The effort, urgently underway at the departments of Homeland Security, State and Labor, is meant to rescue farm owners caught in a vise between a complex process to hire legal guest workers and stepped-up enforcement that has reduced the number of illegal planters, pickers and middle managers crossing the border. "It is important for the farm sector to have access to labor to stay competitive," said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel. "As the southern border has tightened, some producers have a more difficult time finding a workforce, and that is a factor of what is going on today." The push to speedily rewrite the regulations is also the Bush administration's attempt to step into a breach left when C...

"A ruse about Che hitting the U.S. airwaves targeting Latinos"
2007-09-02 18:16:00 A ruse about Che hitting the U.S. airwaves targeting Latinos © 2007 ABIPCommentary by Agustin Blazquez with the collaboration of Jaums SuttonFasten your seat belts! The latest installment of Che-junk will be broadcast soon, polluting the airways of America directed to the Latinos. That's all we need, to get the masses of Latinos in the U.S. all prey to that romantic and fake image of the notorious Argentinean criminal - known by his victims as "The Butcher of the Cabana" (a fortress made into a prison where Che executed many without trial).For the largely ignorant masses in the U.S. and in Latin America, this mini-series is a charade designed to enlist more fools to the cult of the despicable Che. Unknown to most of them is that Che looked down on the natives of the Americas and Latinos. Involved in this travesty is National Geographic Adventure that developed this mini-series that will be broadcast on V-me by Public TV stations, cable and satellites providers.According to the...

The informative 5-part series is designed as a journey through Latin America which begins in Nicaragua and ends in Columbia.
