Senor Villegas,

It makes me very sad that someone who I would otherwise respect is reduced by his fear of women, and therefore, of humanity, to using Nuestra Virgen as something that can hold us down by teaching us shame - over our bodies, our pride, even our beauty. No, Senor, that is NOT what La Raza is about, as you seem to imply in your complaint against Alma Lopez. Your "generation" does not speak for mine, nor for the future. Que viva LA IDEA libre, la liberacion de nuestra raza!
