(Born December 19, 1971) MEL CASAS BROWN PAPER REPORT Chicano: another word for: dignity, self-awareness, survival, humanity, identity, messianic goals. People in harmony with themselves. Brown vision: If Americana was "sensed" through blue Eyes, now brown vision is demanding equal views- polychroma instead of monochroma. Brown eyes have visions too. It's George Washington and Che Guevara homogenized into one. It's Tejerina reclaiming the southwest and its Cesar Chavez synthetizing farm workers into the mania that is middle-class Americana. It's a promise to be - as middle class Americana is a product of a promise to pay. Utopian Facet??? Brown Dream Con Safo: (Zafarse) Safarme Safo, fa. adj. - nadie esta safo de una mala hora Con Safo: Act of defiance Is a state of mind Alienation verbalized Clandestine Act Profanity that craves sacredness Sgraffiti with a purpose Cry of anguish Cry for help State of anxiety Social rejection A demand for identity Language of the ghetto Language of the gutter Language of futility A demand for acknowledgement A divorcement from responsibility A seeking of responsibility of anticipation I don't believe I have been recognized? If you think evil of me - likewise! We have been here before Critical Point Not Pax Americana but the social consciousness of Americana If the scribbling of C/S on walls, bridges, monuments et.al., brings to mind vandalism - it's because we are more materially orientated rather than socially aware.
