Erika Lopez’s The Welfare Queen at BAAD!

The time has finally come for the unabashed, chick crazy, cartoonist, writer, performer, one-woman art sweatshop ERIKA LOPEZ to bring her fun, daring, sexy and irreverent show for the first time to her native New York providing comfort and cheeky glances to the recession-struck Bronx.“When you’re on welfare and pushing your latest art project in an attempt to pay the rent, what it means to ‘have it all’ obviously require some redefinition.” – Eryn Loeb, blogger.

More Crazy Gringos : Joe Wilson, Newt Gingrich and Yes, More Lou Dobbs

23 Sep 2009Call me jaded, call me having been watching this Latino political/media game too long, pero there is little that surprises me or makes me gasp especially when it comes to hypocrisy that knows no party boundaries.
First up is Joe ” you lie” Wilson, who after flipping out in Congress over the undocumented getting health care, which thanks to Obama and amigos won’t happen ::sigh of relief::, it was revealed that Wilson helped an undocumented immigrant stay in the U.S.
A second allegedly gasp inducing moment came when Newt Gingrich launched a website for Latinos err Hispanics. The site, called The Americano is a bilingual website run by Sylvia Garcia, his director of Hispanic outreach and the goal is, to lure Latinos to the GOP and to cash in on Latino Hispanic Heritage Month. I will restate the obvious. Yes, it’s a hypocritical move. You’ll remember that in 2007 Newt said that Spanish was the language of living in the ghetto and now he launched a site that has Spanish. Newt then apologized and now he has seen the light and is using Spanglish, the real language of the ghetto according to some of my detractors. I mean The Americano? Shouldn’t it be el Americano or the American? Pick a language carajo! Some peeps are all caught up on the title, The Americano which translates to the “American”. I guess my question is when Newt speaks of “Americanos” is he using it to mean just people from the U.S. or Latin Americans across the Americas? Maybe Obama can offer some clarification?

23 Sep 2009Seems like racist white people in the media are getting alot of attention this week from various organizations and websites and some of that negative attention is well deserved. But negative, reactive pressure against some of these crazy gringos is only as effective as the values and goals behind them.

I already told you about the Basta Dobbs campaign. America’s Voice launched their own campaign aimed against Lou Dobbs. They are seeking donations to help buy ad space countering Lou Dobbs and his hate speech. (full disclosure: they have purchased ad space on VL).
Every weeknight, CNN airs one full hour of Hate TV — it’s called, “Lou Dobb’s Tonight.”
