Cinco de Mayo

I know its been a little while but I have had difficulty getting into this blog for awhile. Apprently they did some sort of a transfer over and a whole bunch of people were having trouble signing in and writing. Well anyway, in an effort to be topical I wanted to comment on Cinco de Mayo.

For those of you who are unaware, Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican American holiday, it is not actually celebrated in Mexico. But I ask you this are yiu aware of how it became such a big thing? The answr might surprise you.

Thats right. The Silver bullet, the Rocky Mountain Brewery, The Coors Brewery is the reason that Cinco de Mayo became a big deal. back in the 1960s the Coors Brewery was under fire for discrimination and prejudice practices agianst latinos. A small group of Mexican A,mericans celebrated Cinco de Mayo at that time. Coors wanted to find a way to get the bad press of their backs as well as try and open a market with college students and young americans. Thus they sponsered Cinco de Mayo parades, festivls,etc and of course sold their beer.


And then of course aftwrwards come the PC police and we all knows what happens after that.

I will be posting one more time today about something that has really been bothering me lately. Stay tuned, it involves a speciic reader of this site!
