I don't think he is taking this as serious as he should, these people are just looking for an excuse to riot, and then there will be no stopping them , it will be a race war, gosh I hope I am over reacting in this

I wish they'd realize that it's not about race, but they are so set on it being a white person's fault...I hate to say that you're right about it LJ, but it just might happen

yea, at work, when we are on break, they sit on one side of the room, and we sit on the other, eventhough we all work together, and our manager has defended their rights to be here many times. Still , they insist on seperating themselves from us, now who is rascist?

its in the bible it would happen around this age.

well, the top flag, as LJ said is the mexican flag and the bottom is the american flag upside down...

Like I said before, I'm Hispanic, I'm Mexican-American and my family and I are so embarassed of all this **** that is happening! I can't believe it. You guys are right to be angry, I am very pissed off as well! Putting up the Mexican flag? That is like saying "Take me back to Mexico." They have no clue what they're doing, and it's driving me crazy! I'm so embarassed and angry about this whole thing. A teacher in my College asked what did I consider myself more...a Mexican or an American and I answered "My blood is Mexican but my heart is American. I can't live without my heart." I wouldn't trade America for Mexico EVER. And I'm NOT being racist against my own race. If Mexico was that great, why are they crossing the border? Those people need to get a clue.....

yes, sweetpea it's like saying "WE LOVE YOU MEXICO...we'll just love you from this side, um over here..." LOL

People used to take pride in coming here for all the oppurtunites, and they came legally...

funny how some don't want to "conform" to American culture.
wanna know the funny thing abuot our culture?
WE LET YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE, HOW YOU WANT - FREEDOM OF RELIGION, etc. etc.....lol
so there you go

thanks for clearing that up Dlerium, lol!!!

Sweetpea, I don't know what to say, I feel for you, you are in a tight spot, and I hope you don't have to pay for others stupidity. I, as you know , am Colombian, and we came here many years ago to experience a better life. We came legally and we are all now citizens. This is why I am so upset, we went thru legal methods, and it took us 10 years, and we waited. Laws should be upheld, and the worst thing that could be shown is outright disrespect for the country that has given them everything , you know? I also would never turn on the U.S., it has been my country since I was a child, and I am very grateful. I would never think of disrespecting this country or the flag.

I"m serious! Those not participating are viewed as "traitors to their country" but that's silly, because while, thanks to bush, freedom is going to the toilet but we can still live our lives the way we want....
