Chicano conference programs and speeches, 1975

1975-04-20 Keynote Address: Chicanos and Education - Salvador Ramirez Page 17

LARGER SOCIETY…..THEY CAN EASILY PASS!
THE RATE OF DIVORCE IN THIS GROUP IS INCREASINGLY HIGH AND THE SURPRISING INCIDENCE OF MIXED REMARRIAGES BY THE SPANISH SURNAMED IS BECOMING QUITE EVIDENT.
NOT SURPRISINGLY, THE GREATER PERCENTAGE OF THESE PH.D.’S HAVE RECEIVED THEIR UNIVERSITY APPOINTMENTS, PROMOTIONS AND TENURE IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS…AS, THE MAJORITY WERE NOT EMPLOYED IN UNIVERSITIES, PRIOR TO THE EMERGE OF THE CHICANO MOVEMENT. 
IN FACT, THE CHICANO MOVEMENT MADE IT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE FOR THESES CHICAVACHOS TO LEAVE THEIR FRUSTRATED POSITIONS IN JUNIOR COLLEGES AND SELDOM RECOGNIZED FOUR YEARS COLLEGES. WITH GOOD FAITH AND TRUST AS THE ONLY STANDARD, THE CHICANO STUDENTS AND EL MOVIMIENTO BROUGHT THE COURTEOUS HYPOCRITES TO THE STATE AND PRIVATE MOST PRESTIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING…..THE UNIVERSITIES.
ALMOST OVERNITE THESE CHICAVACHOS BECAME SELF-PROCLAIMED SCHOLARS AND GRANTS MOVEMENT HUSTLERS. THEY BECAME THE TEXTBOOK MAIORISTS OR THE LIVING ROOM MARXISTS.
THEY BECAME WHATEVER WAS AND IS CONVENIENT AT THE MOMENT…..ANYTHING…..SO LONG AS CHICANISMO AND EL MOVIMIENTO CAN BE AVOIDED…..ANYTHING…..AT ANY COST.
YDESGRACIADAMENTE…..COMO SI FUERA UN CASTIGO DE DIOS…..ESTOS PELADOS ARE AMONG THE WORSE ENEMIES OF CHICANO ORGANIZATIONS IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING. BOLA DE MALAGRADESIDOS.
