People of Color
“Soy yo quien recoge lo que tu no comes soy yo quien dejando mis cojones construyo tu esperanza [maldita] balanza no te pones nunca de mi lado tengo un hermano peruano, otro chicano, un chileno, un colombiano, un chino, un afroamericano he construido con mis propias manos ciudades, pueblos, lugares me has colonizado y ahora discriminacion mi raza”
-Orishas, Emigrante
“If you look at it from above, the world is small and the color green of the dollar…Seen from above, the world is very small because it disregards persons and, in their place, there is a bank account number, with no movement other than that of deposits….But if you look at it from below, the world stretches so far that one look is not enough to encompass it, instead many looks are necessary in order to complete it…it has many colors, almost as many as persons and histories.”
-Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos, “How Big Is The World?”
