Can you imagine what it's like to constantly berated for doing the right thing? We try to help, we care, and what do we get in return? We're called racists.
People like to toss that word around freely, and I don't think it's exactly fair. It's sad, really.
I don't like to just toss this phrase around, but some may say we're martyrs.

That's what they show on TV, though. The media exaggerates negatives for ratings, like when they constantly attack the president and Iraq. They don't report the good things happening. Don't fall into their trap; their campaign of hate.

So, instead of keeping the hate intacked from generation to generation, why don't we teach how to grow, learn and prove them wrong by showing how to take pride, raise above and keep heads up! Without hate? If you here, Mexico, or China your going to find hate, if its on you or not! Making changes would be better insteading of holding gruges. Even if you have to make changes for the rest of your life; leave the path open for a new generation to take over. Young hispanics now a days seem to forget how much "our people" struggled to get what we have now, if its alot or not, its something! And alot don't get led in the right direction or make the right choices! For the same reason, they need more education.
You and I
We see eye to eye
Craving our slice of the American pie
One may be tanner, one may be lighter
In our personal manner, we're each a fighter
Fighting for equality, fighting for unity
Fighting for predjudicial immunity
I'm not against you, you're not against me
We're one big, happy, family
Living in unison, living in peace
All of this hating and bickering must cease
Your post inspired me to just let my feelings flow in poem form. Thank you.

Okay... as friend once told me
