News With Nezua | The Eloquence, The Hypocrisy
When powerful entities like politicians, oil corporations, cops and banksters break the law, they are rewarded or overlooked. When less empowered entities like the poor, minorities, or the undocumented break the law in order to thrive in an unjust system, the powers that be “make an example of them” so that the law can be “respected.” Critiquing this hypocrisy as well as others on Obama’s recent speech on immigration.
News With Nezua vids first appear Monday mornings at La Frontera Times. Wednesdays they show up at UMX, as well as in a dim setting at The XOLAGRAFIK Theater. Link to YouTube version here.

Great speech… Cantinflas couldn’t have said it better
graz, bro.
great video, nez! i especially like how you show that the status quo does not equal inaction by the gov’t, but instead represents a record-breaking pace of deportations. For what it’s worth, your video inspired me to write a letter to the NY Times, which I am told may run tomorrow. Granted, it’s not nearly as strong as I would have liked, but if it was it would have not had any chance of seeing the light of day. After all, this is the NY Times. But at least it’s getting the message out there that Obama should stop deportations.
anyway, thanks for the inspiration!
hey, thanks, michael. i hope your letter makes it in. if it does, please link me if it ends up online. i’d love to read it. peace.
