Well we saw how much the American Dream came true for Cubans in the 60s with them being discriminaed left and right in Miami and described as the "Cuban crime wave."

White America will never accept you. I look at Latinos and I see people who look up to whites (one drop rule etc) when they have a far great culture and civilization behind them. They need to value education and become more like these Asian/Arab/Indian Americans, major in hard sciences, engineering, make your own businesses and become richer and more well off than whites. Call the shots, make the game.

I see Lara is trying to appeal to the American fans. Lara should go do 7 months in immigration prison like Alfredo Angulo and then talk to us about "The American Dream".

1. You are black.

2. You are the best in your class.

3.You have to watch bums in your class get paid more than you.

4.You have to watch bums in your class get fights that you are supposed to.

5.You have to fight tough fights that you're not garunteed to win before you ever land a big payday..

6. You have to watch people avoid you and call you a "runner" while praising people like Miguel Vasquez (the poster child for runners) for being "technical".

Lara you BEEN living the American Dream
