Hispanic Culture

Allan on February 1st, 2016

The Mainstream Media goes on and on about the “Hispanic Vote” (or the “Latino Vote” if you prefer). Does that mean that Hispanics have different interests than other Americans?  That’s an important question. Also, how monolithic is this “Hispanic Vote”? How about the differences between Mexican-Americans and Cuban-Americans? For the entire article, click here. Article […]

Meanwhile, south of the border,  a white Mexican official was revealed as having mocked an indigenous Mexican leader, and the official kept his job.  Just imagine […]

I found the  recent news that likely 2016 GOP presidential contender Jeb Bush registered to vote  in 2009  as “Hispanic” unsurprising.    After all, Jeb just seems to identify with the Hispanic community more than the historic American nation that built this country. Therefore, it doesn’t seem unlikely that Jeb would have registered as “Hispanic”. […]

The crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ are foundational to the Christian faith. That’s why the major branches of Christendom (Roman Catholic, Protestant and the Eastern Churches) memorialize – in various ways – the death, burial and resurrection of Christ each spring.

President Obama has recently announced his intention to chamge U.S. Cuba policy.   How is that going to turn out? Coincidentally, my family and I visited Cuba last summer.  (See Our Summer 2014 Trip to Mexico and the Island-nation of Cuba.) Cuba has been a communist country since 1959.  It has been  isolated from the […]

My family and I visit Mexico each summer.  This past summer, while visiting Mexico, we took a side trip to the island-nation of Cuba, where we spent a week.  It was a fascinating visit. Americans are forbidden by the U.S. government to visit Cuba as tourists, but are allowed to visit Cuba for cultural, scientific or religious […]
