Yo no savvy
This was written by the Poet Laureate of San Antonio on August 1. Something about it got someone offended or pissed off, but I don't know enough to know what it was. Apparently one of these words is derogatory of black folk. Poet Laureate has since lost his position.

Quote:
Dr. Roberto "Cintli" Rodriguez
(adiosito carnal)
Nephtal De Len
I bet he's being
an interlocutor,
no un vato locote
tirando barrio rollos,
but a savvy academic
making sense
between gavacho heaven
and mexica mictln
the first nationally
syndicated writer
con Patrisia Gonzales,
we could all say, te sales,
but te sales del barrio
where everyone can read you
Dr. Cintli, el doctor elotes,
siempre cruising el mitote,
barrio Chicano en el cora,
brighter than a veladora,
he did not leave his heart
in San Francisco,
he left it in the middle of Aztlan
he touched so many Raza
gavachos y mayates,
he touched everyone
between two cultures
and two nations,
always building su tercera casa
nation building Aztlan
Dr. Cintli R & R,
will never be ausente,
he wil always be presente,
vato super decente
admirado por la gente
de su pueblo en Aztlan
