The history of the United States of America has never been monotonous or boring. Wars, conflicts, tensions, confrontations... but also that amazing capacity to overcome, to improve, to open new scenarios and to undertake new ventures. One of the key elements to explain this dynamism has been the continuous arrival of people from other places who found their new homeland in the United States. This process, once again, has not been without its problems, but through these creative tensions the unique personality of this unique country has been shaped.
Those who came to the United States have always been convinced (a belief grounded in reality) that, despite its imperfections, it was a great place to live, prosper and provide a better life for their families. And this has been the case on the vast majority of occasions. But this attitude has been greatly eroded in recent years by the ideology of those who consider that fragmenting the nation into identity groups and pitting them against each other is an effective mechanism for gaining power. It is the toxic politics of identities, which corrupts the very notion of a common homeland.
The examples of how this ideology undermines from the base the very project of life in common are so many and so notorious that it is not necessary to repeat them. Just a note: victimized minorities who are supposed to demand reparations from a guilty society as a whole end up, almost invariably, being condemned to remain forever as eternal victims. Because the business is precisely that the alleged victims never leave that condition behind. If these victims cease to be victims, they can no longer be used politically.
Whether they are fleeing from politicians who have no respect for the law and freedoms, from the misery they cause by their actions, or simply looking for a better place for their children, Hispanics are an increasingly important part of the United States.
This is what is observed in relation to the African-Americans, one of the victimized groups par excellence, who for the most part have been trapped in this category: recipients of aid that harms family stability, turned into premium clients of the abortion industry (in New York more black children are aborted than are ever born) and supposedly favored by positive discrimination that is a source of injustice and ends up turning against them. And all in exchange for handing over their vote without complaining to the Democratic Party, which considers them a captive vote. It is no wonder that those who have broken the barrier that locks them into that category of victims (Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Candance Owens and many more) are dismissively labeled "Uncle Toms" by a left that can't stand the thought of losing control over this group of Americans.
But if there is a thriving minority in the United States in the 21st century, it is undoubtedly the Hispanic minority. Present in the country since its first steps, the last decades have witnessed a spectacular growth of the company. Whether they are fleeing from politicians who have no respect for the law and freedoms, from the misery they cause by their actions, or simply looking for a better place for their children, Hispanics are an increasingly important part of the United States, and their contribution is increasingly relevant, to the point that it is not unreasonable to say that the future of the country will depend to a great extent on these Hispanic Americans (a significant fact: in 2004 Hispanics represented 8% of the votes; estimates say that in 2050 they will be 29%).
The U.S. left's plans for them involve replicating the African-American model: victimization, resentment, identity politics and captive voting. To this end, they do not hesitate to deploy their ideological machinery (Critical Race Theory is one of their preferred mechanisms), although everything seems to indicate that it will not be easy for them. The electoral behavior of Hispanics suggests that they are not very willing to be cajoled by a left that pretends to pit them against the rest of Americans. The latest example is Republican Mayra Flores, who on June 15 won the special election for Texas' 34th District, becoming the first Mexican-born woman to win a seat in the U.S. Congress, flipping a seat that has historically been held by Democrats.
In any case, this leftist ideological machinery would have only a very marginal influence if it were not for its powerful media supporters, convinced that a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. At this point, the importance of the emergence of the VozMedia, a medium that reaches out to all HispanicsThe media, capable of informing them truthfully and dismantling the lies of the left; a media that encourages them to bring the much that is expected of them to the United States instead of being locked in a victimhood that in the end generates hatred against their own country. Hispanics, we said earlier, will determine the future of the United States and, we are convinced, will be decisive in safeguarding freedom and unity across different identities, making the U.S. a more dynamic and just country. VozMedia aspires to do its bit in this crucial endeavor and knowing some of those who are driving it, I am sure it will.
