I read the news on-line. I think I must be a masochist because I read the blogs attached to the articles too. Right now there is an article on CNN about Latinos not flexing their political muscle yet. The blog is depressing. So many people just don’t get it. They can’t get their mind around [...]
I hesitated to write this post since you can’t turn around without seeing another news article about it but I wanted to give you an inside look at what goes on in a law enforcement agency. To begin with I am in Texas and don’t claim to be knowledgeable in Arizona law however I did [...]

I would like to tell you about a couple of things I’ve experienced. One incident that happened in 2003 involved [...]
The NAACP is the oldest civil rights organization. One would think that joining with this well established group would be beneficial for Hispanics. I feel that to do so would be an unwise decision. This organization may be listed as one that helps people of color (insinuating all) but the color it helps is black. [...]
A lot of Hispanics may wonder why someone would even create a site of this type. We don’t face the same kind of discrimination that blacks used to, and in some cases, still do. The few people that do discriminate are just idiots. It’s best to just ignore them. Well, that’s [...]
