The Mexica Mural

An interesting take on where the great Immigration flood is taking us.
A mural at the Theodore Roosevelt High School in Los Angeles (paid for by tax dollars of course) shows the "indigenous peoples" of America being massacred by Europeans.

...they couldn't help but notice the churning stream of skulls in the wake of Columbus' Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. They would read that Europeans used smallpox like a WMD and that "Spaniards took babies from their mothers breast and smashed their heads against rocks." They would learn that the Aztecs and other civilizations of native North America were among the most successful on Earth but that "this greatness and wealth was stolen from us by Europeans."

Of course the mural leaves out the empire building of the Aztecs (or any other "indigenous" empire) as well as these pesky little habits. but then you wouldn't expect someone named Toltecatl to give an unbiased report. Not after he had...

attended a lecture by Tezcatlipoca(which if you ask me is a rather strange name to choose if you want to celebrate your ethnicity), whose own views of history had changed late in life, when he began to read radical reinterpretations of the American conquest, including "American Holocaust."

That book, by David E. Stannard, teaches something most historians dismiss as egregious overstatement: that "95% of our people were killed by Europeans," Tezcatlipoca says. "I'm 57 years old. I grew up in East L.A. I didn't know any of this as a kid."

Apparently their ideas originate from the Mexica Movement, but are nothing new in academia.


UPDATE: An interesting tidbit Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is graduate of Theodore Roosevelt High.
