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!

Michelle Quinn history is important you should read American Holocaust by a cool white man David E. Stannard or just get laid because you are a hateful bitter person .
Michelle, as an illegal alien, you do not have the right to complain about anyone else being, in your words "illegal", when it was your ancestors who came here and murdered, raped, and pillaged, and used "God" as an excuse to commit these tragedies and steal my land. And also, I'd normally have pity on the elderly, but not when these White, racist neo-Nazis tell indigenous people like myself to go back home, when I AM at home, it's invaders like you who need to heed your own advice.
You people are too much. A trip back to Europe would suit you perfectly.
WHAT A COMPLETE JOKE . DOES NOT SURPRISE ME ITS SANTA ANA .. THE FILTH OF OC . MICHELL IS RIGHT A COMPLETE RACIST THIS NAU CHIPOLTI , SALSA CHILLI CON CARNE . MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN BIN LADEN MAN OF THE YEAR WITH THIS GROUP .
Why is it TGO that brown people in Cuba are way cool! or is it just the cultural difference???
You have Ruben in Florida (wonderful) and then you have the Naui's from Mexico!
Hugh difference's! They even wear Tee Shirts with one of the most hated people not only in Cuba, but the rest of the world!!! And they LOVE him!!!
Hi bud, can we like each other: Are you brown and proud! :)
Michelle Quinn history is important:
MQ says:
History is important, but it is history, the past! Millions of people all over this world have been oppressed and murdered for many reasons! It is the future that you should be more concern about. Like the future of many of the kids coming out of Santa Ana schools barely having the basics to get them though life. The future welfare recipient and child mothers!
You focus on the past and I learn from the past to create and better future!
You are blind because bitterness and hate is born of focusing on the past! I am not the one with the video tape shoved into people's faces to hopefully create that past chip on your shoulder!
Nice start to an open conversation. Learning to respect your foe is very important! Since you see my skin color as your enemy!
Men, women and children with brown skin all over this world would love to have the chance to live in this country so they can get away from the past and create a future! It pisses me off that people like you waste the space that could relieve their suffering!
Michelle your igorance is bliss . First most Cubans in Miami are white , some are those exiles, that a good white person Fidel Castro kicked out . If you are talking about the "brown ones"are you talking about the Afro-Cubans ? You are a dumb American .
Thank you to all the people that voted for me . Theo and Franciso are cool people , i have met them before . I will continue to confront nazis , minutemen , teabaggers , Christian hypocrites and other racist . Michelle are these the old people that you are talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6xmIG-K_Cc ?
Oh look, all the little racist Mexicans coming out of the shadows! Come in and do your best!
Please don't hit the like button for me! I like to be the only one in the room fighting my own battles! I am not in to the tribe/gang mentality!
Thats kinda caveman!
Don't you just love stupid people? The fine American education just bombarding the blogs of the Internet, will it ever cease?
Don’t you just love stupid people?
MQ says:
No, I don't! Especially grown men screwing a religious icon in the aXX! It is kinda stupid; don't you think? I would say you are more than stupid, I would say you are a moron and like most morons who seem to vomit out of Santa Ana; you have absolutely no respect for anyone or anything!
And really will it ever cease, that idiots think they are artist's because they can down load photos of lewd acts with religious icons!
THEO!
