Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales preaches nationalism for "Chicanos" in a speech at the University of California Los Angeles in 1969. This was one year before Chicano Park was occupied in San Diego and provides a good idea what the Park is about and how they feel about police. The Chicano Park Steering Committee calls it the first part of Aztlan to be occupied and they say that the domination of the rest of Aztlan will grow out of the Park. The call the Park the Ombligo (navel) of Aztlan. Gonzales was one of the four Founders of Chicano political movement.

The Democrats in San Diego support this outrageously political, anti-American, revolutionary Park with our tax money, because it earns them political support and helps them continue dominate city government in a military town that once was considered to be pro-American.

"Vatos" means "guy".
"Gachupines" is a racial slur used for Spanish white colonizers.
"Barrios" or "varios" means neighborhood.
"Chongos" is a pejorative term for the police.
"Comancheros" in New Mexico were Chicano terrorists that burned farm buildings on territory that they claimed was theres.
