Comments on: Speak English, Stupid http://latinolanow.org/latinola-speaks/2009/01/speak-english-stupid/ Latin American voices observe and comment from New Orleans Fri, 18 May 2012 14:32:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: armando http://latinolanow.org/latinola-speaks/2009/01/speak-english-stupid/comment-page-1/#comment-335 armando Fri, 17 Apr 2009 04:14:04 +0000 http://latinolanow.org/data/?p=305#comment-335 Why do we have a need to be victims? It seems to me that some Latino's enjoy being victim's? When will we learn? Many Latino's are full of fear, and are all to ready to accept anything that is handed to them as if it were a gift from God, instead of standing up and leading or trainning the Latino Leaders of tomorrow. Racism is a heart problem and not a skin problem. Again, I think that we use racism as crutches to make us feel better for being where we are as a people. We, Latino's, are not trapped by metal bars, but mental bars and I as one hope we can assert ourselves for our families and our future, for we will be the dominate minority in America in the future. Hopefully, we can lead the way, instead of being led. God Bless, armando Why do we have a need to be victims? It seems to me that some Latino’s enjoy being victim’s? When will we learn?

I'm lots of different races, and I have screwed up things to say about every single one of them. Take yourself down a notch and have a valium. It's not all going to fall to pieces if you take a moment to yourself and just BREATHE. I have pride that you are out there doing things for La Raza, when I was taught at home to hide who I was at school, but take it from someone who is many things. Nothing is just black and white.
