Our readers have voted and their overwhelming choice for Santa Ana’s Man of the Year in 2010, is Naui Huitzilopochtli, a local migrant rights activist and videographer, who got almost a third of the total vote.
The runner-up to Naui was Santa Ana artist Theo Hirsch, who you can friend on Facebook by clicking here.
Who knew what a firestorm would be set off when Naui and a few friends visited last year’s Santa Ana 4th of July event, which was held at the Santa Ana Public Library? Naui, as always, brought his video camera and he was on the hunt for Minutemen. He had heard that infamous Minuteman Lupe Moreno was heading up the event and he figured he might catch someone in the act of racism. Well, he did.
One of Moreno’s Minuteman friends called Naui and his associates “wetbacks,” and Naui caught it on videotape. Then we posted the video here – and it went viral. It has been viewed over 10,000 times! You can watch it again atop this post.
In the end, Santa Ana Councilman David Benavides got in hot water as he insisted on handing out certificates thanking Moreno and her Committee – but the members of that Committee were mostly Republicans and many of them did not live in Santa Ana. The rest of the Santa Ana City Council refused to go along with this.
You can see the follow-up to the original video above. It depicts Benavides clearly interacting with Moreno at the event. And below you can see Moreno filing a false police report.

Naui is very much involved with El Centro Cultural de Mexico and he is also a very proud papa. I am honored to call him my friend. Congratulations Naui!

Hey Art,

NAUI ROCKS!!!
Francisco
Francisco,
There must have been a surge of voting at the end. Congratulations Francisco! You are in good company with Naui and Theo!
Typical: A racist in Santa Ana gets Man of the Year!
Can we recall!
I don't think Naui is very involved at el Centro Cultural de Mexico, he's actually more involved with other groups that meet and have presentations and workshops at CCM.
NAUI IS THE MAN! NAUI FOR PREZ!
Wow I can't wait to see the video of the awards ceramoney.
So you have Naui, a guy that like to screw with old white people and Theo who like to take pictures of himself screwing with christ!
And here is why illegal immigrants will NEVER get amnesty and why liberals are only 20% of the nation!
You have a racist and a disgusting liberal as your Men of Santa Ana? These two people are complete retards! Sorry! They have never did anything for anyone except cause them grief and encourage hate against a race and religion!!!
I suppose it fits: scummy city with scumbag men of the year!
Yuck!
Naui is not a racist - he exposes racists. He is a great guy and a wonderful dad.
Theo is a hero in Downtown Santa Ana. He stands up for civil rights consistently.
Our city is NOT scummy and neither are these men.
Art, I seen the post were he gleed the fact that a kid was denouncing his religion/cross because it was part of the WHITE culture!
I have been in this country long enough to recognize a racist and he is one, with out a doubt.
I really do believe it a a cultural thing with Mexicans! They go on about this being their land and we are going to get it back! like we as europeans would rather move out than have to listen to a bunch of racist fools chatter on about this piece of dirt!
Naui, it a rude and obnoxious fool and an inspiration to know one, especially people of good sense!
"Naui is not a racist – he exposes racists. He is a great guy and a wonderful dad."

The fact that this man has reproduced makes me think only one thing! Sad! I hope he is married, but likely because of the culture in Santa Ana he is not! I also hope the mom is an appropriate age!
Theo is just an example of a decaying culture who has lost all morality and commons sense! I am not a religious person, but any one who violates any one's beliefs with such a complete disregard is nothing but a idiot!
I know humanity well and these do are NOT a good example of it!
Hard but true!
Ok, Naui: Bring on your pathetic "you need to get laid" response! Or silence!
HAHAHHAH MICH.QUI IS STILL OUT OF MEDS!!! LOL
LOVE THE WAY YOU CHALLENGED NAUI, HAHAHA ----MUJER LOCA!
Someone has too! I think I opened his world to less fragile white people! I am his first young opponent!
You loca too! :)
Happy New Year Miss Just in time!
