Yes and I struggle to fin the difference between this guys and the Trump supporters. They are both angry and hate “the establishment” and rather see the country up in flames than to compromise a bit.

When did I say you are white? What I criticize are your words which are used by Anglos to tell me to get the hell out of here. You could be Mexican like me for all I care what gets to my nerves are your words.

Keep fighting the good fight.

That we produce an issue liberals care about but only one and focus on it. That is what the religious right has done with abortion.

Hugs to you. You are very strong to be sharing your story even if this is an anonymous forum.

There are no abortions done when a fetus is days from birth. That is a non issue. If you want to know about late term abortions, who has them and when they happen I recommend the documentary after Tillery.

I don’t get Raphael’s appeal. He’s manipulative and selfish. Most people don’t like Michael because he’s boring? Wow! So you would prefer a manipulative asshole that is not boring? It doesn't make any sense. I'm starting to believe that the stereotype that women do not like nice guys because they find them boring is…

My problem is that Anglos keep using words like yours to downplay the role European immigrants in America (the country) played in the downfall of the Natives. You end up saying that the pilgrims did have disputes and killed people then why the remark that it wasn’t them who were the ultimate illegal aliens? Why is it…

Mostly empty still means there were people to kill. Mostly empty still means the pilgrims didn’t “just” take over the land. They did go and have “disputes” and killed Natives. I did read the mostly part. I just thought it would be obvious to both of us that qualifying a land where the newcomers did go and fought the…

So it wasn’t empty. That is what I am saying. It wasn’t empty! That is my whole point. It wasn’t empty!! And yes I got carried away because I am Mexican and this: but it was empty! Crap has been thrown at my face every time I talk about how America is an country of immigrants. White people often respond with: but now…

I distinctively remember a famous passage of American history where a British colonizer talks about giving the Native blankets with smallpox. It wasn't the conquistadores.

Here it is. I knew even the original pilgrims killed NAs. One name for you: Myles Standish https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myles_Sta…

Then you and I got very different history lessons. What I learned in school is that there were massacres and Europeans cheating the Natives out of land like the famous story of Mahattan Island in NY. If you can direct me to your sources I would appreciate it because that is not at all what I was told repeatedly at…

It wasn’t mostly empty. Millions of Native Americans were killed.

That’s why I left Facebook. I got too many death and rape threats for supporting Jose Antonio Vargas and some other immigrant and Mexican-American public figures.

I like that :). I rather have gifts with meaning that a generic diamond ring. My engagement ring ended up being a diamond ring ha ha but it’s tiny. But I like it because my husband’s great-grandfather gave it to my husband’s great-grandmother when he came back from WW I. I feel like it’s a piece of history ;).

Most of our parents were alive then. Racism doesn't die in one generation as much as people would like to think so. We need to keep on working on this.

So there is no war on women?

Yes. It is weird. I thought my now husband would be delighted to hear I wanted to skip the ring and the whole proposal thing and he was disappointed. I was puzzled. It was all weird.
