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!

"Although The Crime of Cuba was written many years ago, it provides an informative look into the the roles race and ethnicity played in pre-Castro Cuba. The term pre-Castro is used because Fidel Castro outlawed racial discrimination and acts of racism"

First little lesson: 61% white, 20+ present brown and 10% black in cuba!
Roughly 20% of Mexican nationalist's are here in the US!
Second: White Castro outlawed racial discrimination!
I am Irish born with American citizenship and I am sure as heck not dumb! A little bit red faced are we?
Cubans are way cool!
Michelle, a little jealous are we? Do something productive so you can be added to the list of Bitch of the Year award ok?
Obviously Naui got his votes by sending out emails to racists such as the Mexica Movement.
I feel sorry for that little girl in the picture, because she will be trained to hate whites like Naui.
Maui dislikes racists, not whites in general.
Are you talking about the same Naui who calls Black people who have conservative views about politics as "Uncle Toms" and "House Slaves." Or calls Mexican/Central American descent people who have conservative views about politics "Coconuts" "Vendidas" and "Vendidos." Or the same Naui who called Joe Arpaio an "Italian Anchor Baby." Or calls White people "True Illegal Aliens." This Naui guy is a hypocrite. Kind of like the Brown Skinned version of David Duke.
John Doe ? Coward .
