Learn some history? I know the history of mexico/america fairly well. Since im a "dumbass" and now all of the sudden, i have bcome a "confused white kid" i can tell you that when the spanish empire ruined half of the united states by establishing missions, destroying native indegnous indian culture in the process.
You say mexicans "have a right to call this place home" but the reality is, you won it the same way it was lost, with war. The spanish empire had it, then mexico had it, now the united states has it. Just like the spanish who ravaged the west coast before it became mexico, the united states took it from mexico by means of illegal war. Either way, mexico wouldnt have had the money or the resources to govern beyond the rio grande regardless, the evolution of time always creates new borders. You may feel you have some kind of "right" call this place home because you are mexican, but the reality is as a black man, i understand full well that time and displacement can do to a group of people. Especially when it comes to hanging onto history that goes back hundreds of years. What may have been reality before, isnt reality now, you can choose to hold onto ideals of the past that dont reflect reality, or you can move on with the evolution of whats happening now. Having a sense of entitlement will get you very few places. This is america and at this point, anyone willing to contribute anything positive to this society has just as much right as you do.
Since this is america, there is no wrong in saying you are mexican by nature, but there is nothing more american than holding onto your own cultures and customs and fusing them with the melting pot of american lifestyle. Why you would assume im white i have no clue. But seeing as how you felt so terribly insulted by what i said, i can only assume this is clearly a touchy subject for you.
Im willing to let those insults slide because I dont think you really understood what i was saying, but im just letting you know, its not nessecary just because we disagree, dont fall into the same trap that lesser idiots on here do, i think you are better than that.
