If its so bad here go back to Mexico. Even your own Country, your own government treats its own people worse than the American people. So quit your whining, your here, suck it up , get an education, stop making excuses and get over yourselves and move on. From my point of view, your families brought you here, you raise families of criminals all victimized by America! GO BACK TO MEXICO! MAKE YOUR COUNTRY GREAT! OTHERWISE SHUT UP!

A classmate's voice then cut through the silence saying, "Hey, Nonyo, your mom's here!" Everyone laughed. That same day at lunch, another classmate asked me if my mom's Mexican Pizzas were of as good a quality as those available at Taco Bell. Everyone was laughing too hard to hear me say that yes, indeed, they were. I guess this was the view through that marvelous open door America presents to us as children of immigrants. I became a one man gang.

In my middle class black family that is unheard of, for the most part we will park our old people in a home soon as they can nolonger care for themselves. Or I remember an exgirlfriend from highschool who had 4 brothers her brothers could not stand me {did want their sister dating a miate) but I was in a teen club and got into a fight with 4 redneck kids and her brothers were there and jumped in(drug them out side and beat the crap out of them) They did not help me because they liked me, they jumped in because their mother liked me and I was their sisters novio, again the family thing.
