Why not call it the Cinco De Mayo Buc Days?
Posted on May 7, 2006 at 02:11:41 PM by mm
As I watched the Buccanner Parade early Friday afternoon(fri may 5th). I noticed that on both sides of Leopard street entire families were really enjoying the beautifull day. I was told by some that they had stationed themselves in their reserved places the night before. They had set up their tents, Bar B Que Pits, ice chests etc. in an orderly fashion. The area was packed. Also the buccaneer vendors took their merchandize to the street only to be baught by the same people stationed there. As I walked and mingled with the crowd I noticed that a large majority of the people that I saw along the way were mostly "Hispanics". The only Anglo people that I saw were the homeless being fed by the humanitatrian hands of "hispanics". They shared whatever food they had with them. This made me realize why not call the parade the Cinco De Mayo Buccaneer Parade. After all it was celebrated on the 5th of May. THANKS We should also thank the police for patroling the area.

Get a load of this bozo.. "As I walked and mingled with the crowd I noticed that a large majority of the people that I saw along the way were mostly "Hispanics".The only Anglo people that I saw were the homeless being fed by the humanitatrian hands of "hispanics". They shared whatever food they had with them".
News flash,Pedro..most of the people you "mingled" with had probably been there for a day and a half.For some strange reason,many hispanics in this area seem to get off on camping on city streets..I'm not sure why,but they do.They sit and drink on lawnchairs set up on Leopard Street for a day or so before the parade,so by the time the parade actually passes by,they're oftentimes passed out in the tent.Besides..did you "mingle" down at Buc Stadium? People who don't care for sleeping on sidewalks just get seats there at the stadium.
And why should the parade be renamed? I'm an American..I shouldn't give two squats about the Mexican army defeating the French army.Bastille Day is a national holiday in France..you want to have a parade here for that,too?
watt do you give two squats much less two cents about?
bet you GOD knows :)
i went to the buc parade we had tickets to see at the stadium
courtesy of HOT-Z95----yeah!
and it was MAJORITY HISPANIC!
time is stamped regardless of our "agendas" but it cant be taken from anyone!
time is what we have been allowed
and you started wasting with a skit
get off?
no thats wat you do by spreading hate
camping out ---its been a tradition
it would be a shame if as soon as the parade started it ended as soon as it went around the track once
cuz there was no "CAMPED" out to notice.......
and if thats all there was to it they would not be able to charge cuz no one would bother to pay the ticket
those who were fortunate to have seen it at the beginning were less dedicated to how they used to "CAMPED" when it was "the buc parade"
is that the only reason las donas coronation is watt it is?

you are a United Statesian first, an American second. All the people there were Americans even if they came from Mexico of North America. Only arrogance makes people think that they are the only "Americans" around!
Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza was from Goliad ,Texas

Many at the battle of Cinco de Mayo at Puebla, Mexico were from Texas. The Gen. Leading the army, Ignacio Zaragoza was a native Tejano. Visit the Goliad Museum - judge for yourself.
Buc Days Parade was in fact a Cinco De Mayo Weekend Celebration. We live in AMARUCA (America) as the Native Americans called it before Columbus came. In fact the word was borrowed from them (visit www.amaruca.com).
Buc Days will be used to reinforce the Cinco De Mayo. Que padre. Viva Aztlan.

The question "Why not call it the Cinco De Mayo Buc Days?" was posed. One of the brain-dead responses was "
Buc Days Parade was in fact a Cinco De Mayo Weekend Celebration."
Here are the facts:
(A) The first 'Buc Days' was held in June 3, 1938. Itself a descendent of 'Splash Days' which originated 21 years earlier in 1917. The 5th of May had absolutely nothing to do with it. Buc Days in 2006 began on April 19th. That May 5 happens to fall somewhere in the midst is a seasonal coincidence.
(B) [Hint: The name "Buccaneer Days" might have something to do with pirates and water vs. a land-based battle betweeen infantry]. Buccaneer Days was organized with regards to the French Pirate Jean Lafitte who had a base here combined with the 'discovery' of the bay by a Spanish sailor Alonzo de Pineda. [Note: de Pineda was Spanish (as in from Spain ...European) ... not Mexican.] "Mexico" didn't exist at the time unless one wishes to include the Aztecs who were no doubt busily murdering thousands of unfortunates as sacrifices to HUITZILOPOCHTLI or QUETZALCOATL or TEZCATLIPOCA or any one of more than 30 'gods'.
(C) Cinco de Mayo, celebrating the stalemate of what has come to be referred to as the Battle of Puebla, in 1862 is not a Mexican holiday. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some recognition in other parts of the Mexico. [Note: 'some']
(D) The 'battle' was not a military victory for the Mexicans. It was a stalemate. The French commander was unable to defeat the Mexican resistance do to muddy field conditions from heavy rains and the Mexicans were unable to defeat the French. Both groups of combatants withdrew from the field of battle. The Mexicans hailed the battle as a 'victory' because it was the ONLY time in this conflict that the Mexicans did not get their butts thoroughly trounced by the French Army. The French later went on to crush the Mexican military and government.
SUMMARY:
It is doubtful that those celebrating Cinco de Mayo have in fact any idea about what they are celebrating and virtually no knowledge of the history of Mexico and/or the Battle of Puebla.

To me & my family, Buc Days is Cinco De Mayo Weekend Celebration, Viva

As far as Aztec's sacrifices, well: there were invented by Cortez' twisted mind. He only mentioned sacrifices in his second letter to the King of Spain: to avoid being arrested. His assistant, as a retired old man (Bernal Dias Del Castillo), an butcher, mentions it.
Who would believe the butchers? The rest of the literature and accounts come from Monks who came years after the conquest like Sahagun (who was out to destroy the spiritual culture of the natives). All made up.
Buc Days? Now are Cinco De Mayo weekend Buc days. History has to do with it.
Does El Defenzor Really Think ....

that you can actually BAN "anybody" from this board? It has so many access loopholes that a 7 year old kid can figure out how to get around a so-called ban.
If El Vato Loco (or whatever he chooses to call himself) wants to access this board he can do so in a heartbeat. The only person that can ban him is himself. Certaily not the staff or webmaster of El Defenzor.
The "banning" of El Vato Loco is nothing more than an empty symbolic act designed to do nothing more that make El Defenzor feel good about itself while ignoring the reality.

He is not here.....

same for that creditless board of haters that chooses to ban ME.

'bout that fact
Do you want to try it? Please try your wits?

Insults against our business will not be tolerated. The reason is that any rival business can use this board to suppress our business venture and public standing.

FROM THE El Defenzor Webmaster:
".Do you want to try it? Please try your wits?"
FROM ME:
Do I want to try WHAT? What the heck are you talking about?
If you consider truth to be an insult [re: bans that are not worth the words taken to print them] then that is your problem. If you are sensitive that El Defenzor 'bans' can be dismissed easy as pie, then upgrade your antiquidated system.
Your "The reason is that any rival business can use this board to suppress our business venture and public standing." makes absolutely no sense at all. Sounds like the murmurings of paranoia combined with a misguided sense of self-importance. I have no idea what 'rival business' you are referrring to and could care less.
You've threatened me previously ... and lost. Now it seems as if you want to again. I won't bother repeating what I've said about all this before. I'm sure you remember it well.
====================================yo blind bob you have not posted in a while i guess banning you =moot?

Without wit WATT so ever.
Go back to the haters you love so much.

Go back where you feel respected.
