My problem is this. Mexico is right next door to America. Thousands of Mexicans cross the border everyday entering this country illegally. Cali, Az, Texas and New Mexico are strongly affected by this. Here's how... 15 years ago... Life was different in So. Cali. Nowadays everything everywhere is populated by Mexicans. You can't even get a job in the swap meet if you're not bilingual. There are even corporations that are now requiring or even hiring only bilingual workers. So what does that do to the black minority? Many young blacks are unable to get jobs because they are not bilingual and unable to speak the language of the majority.. Mexicans. The problem here is why should we, Americans have to conform to people that migrate here illegally. You can't go anywhere else in the world and demand that they speak our language... Modify their schools for our children. I mean, this is crazy. My son is one 4 black students in a class of 31. There are no white kids/asians... all are latino. They split the day into two parts.. one for regular class schedule and they other for ESL.(English as a second language) In the meantime, while these non-English speaking students get half of a day to learn the English language, my son is sent to a 3rd or 4th grade class to watch a movie or play computer games... while his reading level still remains slightly below 5th grade. I don't get that!
The Black Immigrant...
How many of you know Haitans/Jamaicans that immigrate here and are immediately sent back to their countries or held in refugee camps until deportation? Many times, these immigrants are stopped in the middle of the ocean and arrested. Detained and mistreated as if they were slaves. Aaron's cousin, Barbie, a jamaican citizen has been in a federal prison for 4 yrs. Never charged with an official crime, but because she was involved with a man whom had drug dealings.. she was arressted and detained for 4 yrs. When they couldn't come up with any substantial evidence to prosecute her.. they deported her.. back to Jamaica. That just doesn't happen with Mexican citizens. They come here and have their children, they get AFDC, Section 8 and any other federally funded program they qualify for. I'm a single parent and many times cannot qualify for any assistance because I have A. one child and B.I'm not a migrant worker, mexican, or poor enough by their standards for help. So, yes I'm offended when I drive down the street and see a parade of people carrying a Mexican flag in the USA...it's a slap in the face. They take advantage of every opportunity this country affords them, while many citizens are turned away and they have the nerve to fly a flag of a country they RAN from.. literally! I'm disgusted and angered to think that they put theirselves above us, blacks. When in all actuality they are NIGGA's just like us.
In Santa Monica it was reported that many black students were being racially harassed by not white students, but latino's. These students were physically attacking the black students and writing Nigger on the walls in the bathrooms or on the lockers of black students. Santa High is predominately WHITE. So why are blacks and Mexicans fighting against one another like their in two separate classes? I will tell you why. Many Mexicans believe that blacks are beneath them. They don't want their daughter's dating black boys or their kids playing with black kids. It's sad when you think about it. Many times their skin is darker than the average black person yet they feel as if they are white. I've heard many latino's say well, Mexican is like white. I'm sorry to break it to them, but it's not! And furthermore, with this law that are great government is trying to pass further proves that at the end of day Mexican/Latino/Hispanic means one thing: NIGGA!
Wake up people! We to unite to win the fight!
SoCal students walk out to protest proposed immigration bill
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Tens of thousands of students in Southern California have walked out and marched through streets and freeways to protest a proposal making it a felony to be an illegal immigrant.
An LAUSD spokeswoman says more than 20-thousand students have marked Cesar Chavez Day Monday by walking out of Los Angeles-area high schools.
Riverside Lieutenant Bob Meier says students passing through the Tyler Mall in Riverside threw bottles and rocks, and arrests have been made. No other details are immediately available.
After one pm, about three-hundred students and adult supporters marched onto the Harbor Freeway in downtown Los Angeles, forcing CHP officers to briefly close the northbound lanes.
The demonstrators walked about a mile before being escorted off.
No injuries have been reported.
Police in Orange County say protesters have pelted their cars with rocks and bottles throughout the day, with nobody hurt.
More than 500-thousand people rallied in Los Angeles Saturday against the bill.

You have a valid point.
I'm originally from San Diego, and recently moved to Texas to be closer to my nieces and nephews. While I was in San Diego I had just left the military in good standing, and took up a post at a local college. I was astounded by the way the college changed so unjustly towards individuals that did not speak spanish. The whites of course were not in this category so yes it only affected mostly blacks.
Many positions that were opening up at the time were filled by mexicans. I even found out from a close friend in HR that many bilingual speakers .were paid considerably higher for the same job many of us were doing. I was even more astounded that a spanish class was 24$ per unit but an ESL was free to the public and occured year round. A spanish class is not even taught in the summer, only Spring, and Fall. Makes you wonder eh?
As I continued my post at the college (which was 5 years altogether),things became apparent to me that it was time to leave. I was leaving for good reason but the office became different, new teachers and office employees were now mostly mexican. When I had began my post we had a rainbow of cultures in our office. Now we were experiencing an influx of relatives putting in a good word for other relatives. You get where I'm going right?
I'm now in Texas and I like it here, I didn't move here because things would be different but honestly California had become an issue for me as a black woman. Texas may not be any better, but where I am there is a rainbow of ethnic backgrounds.
I've always been a woman who looked at every individual in a fair way, but I think the way we shut off some of American's in this society is ridiculous. I'm bitter that I have to learn Spanish, a language that I don't feel I need to learn unless I was teaching ESL in a foreign country, like let's say Ecuador or Spain. I'm now working but I would be paid better if I had Spanish under my belt and that makes me very angry to some degree. I think there are some things you just have to say "That's not fair" to.
I'm at the point now where I just say "If you can't beat it, join it". Learning Spanish may be more beneficial in the end, and for me will be a slap in the face to many. I'm giving myself a year to learn this new language.
Thanks for posting this.
good stuff. . . i like reading blogs of importance. . .all i want to say is that, let 'em come on over, as long as they stop making americans pay for it in taxes! and, they definitely need to cut that crap about "we built this country". mexicans ain't build ****. Black people built this country. Mexicans are mainting the support beams of the nations and that's about it! I think it's disrespectful to every African American to turn on the TV and see signs and poster saying "we built this country". It burns me up!!!
The fight continues...
Everyone is fighting for their own place in society.
If you won't allow someone else the right to fight for theirs, how can you demand the right to fight for your own?
