I don't always have a lot of time to make long comments.
But I do not believe that those people learned racism from US.
Hi Emily, I live right outside the Hoover city limits!!
Really? Then you know about the nickname! :) I heard Rick and Bubba call it that one day and I couldn't stop laughing. Unfortunately it's not so funny after seeing the pics. that were posted. I had not heard about this judge doing that but we need somebody to DO something. Thanks for posting the link.
They need to go back to their roots. And if they want to keep with Santa Anna then they should start practicing the religion that the Texans didn't want to have to practice, Catholicism and stay away from the religion of Marxism.
Look at the bright side. You found out in advance so you can put your child in a competent school instead of falling behind in a public school trashed by babysitting illegals. Another of my co-workers from a prior employer took one of her sons out of publich school and tried the private route. He was doing so much better after 6 months that she pulled the rest of her kids out of public school and enrolled them in the private school. It is a major financial hardship, but she has nothing but glowing praise for the vastly improved levels of instruction and achievement.
My youngest son fell behind in the San Diego school system. It appeared he was doing fine based on grades and "self esteem". We moved to Idaho and it was clear that he was way behind grade level. The Idaho teachers weren't willing to make any effort to help him catch up. I now have an 18 year old dropout. It was frustrating to watch him bring home report cards with A's and F's.
But the reason that young Mexican-Americans claim to want to take back "their" land is not because they are racist, but because they were TAUGHT what they are saying, not by their uneducated (and probably illegal) parents but by their American teachers and American media. That d-ckhead in Colorado nwhose diatribe got recorded is one example.
In a sense I can't blame them for being so angry and holding up those placards. To them, it's just what they've taken for granted for so long. And now, when Americans want to reclaim the culture, the history, and the border, the radicalized Mexican-Americans think they are being deprived of what is theirs.
The analog is an easement on property. Suppose that you have a huge property lot; and that passing over your lot shortens distances by people walking from one end of town to another. Well, technically they're tresspassing but you ignore the problem for 20 years because it's really not doing any harm. But if you decide to crack down, then the users of those paths on your property will put up a hue and cry over being denied access, even though it's your property, even though they were technically tresspassing. [The law is on their side too, by the way.]
America has given illegal Mexicans an easement on prosperity for the past 35 years. Free education, free healthcare, free welfare and housing assistance, nominal enforcement of immigration laws, plus an education that tells them they're only taking back what was rightfully theirs. They didn't bring it from home. They got it from here.
As much as I want to send them all home, in a sense I don't blame them for complaining.
