The one boys name was Rod Hunter and his friend Ben was at the table, I wonder if Ben's last name was Dover, Ben Dover. Does this sound like characters from a Gay Porno or what? LOL

That name cracked me up. Nice video, true in a lot of ways, but it doesn't show the social unjust that anyone who wasn't white suffered.

its really easy for a teenage girl to gain friends today, simply take a half naked pic of yourself, put it on facebook, and let the friend adds pore in!

Music in the background was a nice touch

@G1formation "Americanism" is a relative term.

@inkey2 sry for spelling errors, typing fast and not spell checking

@inkey2 another huge issue facing US is that their are teachers out west in American schools, teaching these mexican's and other students that the American flag is offensive. If we can pinpoint these radical liberals and remove them from their teaching positions, we'd be better off. They are consistenly feeding these kids anti-Americansim on a daily basis.

@inkey2 it's one thing to actually be a native and have hard feelings, it's another to lie about it, come here, drag our flag through the streets and call that land theirs. They arent natives, they are mexican of spanish blood. They are brainwashed to hate America and don't understand it to begin with. I think in the long run we'll be ok, I've seen both sides of the coin and I wanna stay hopeful. There are many proud Mexican Americans, many who cross here love America. I could go on.

@inkey2 I totally understand, believe me I hear you. The thing that bothers me about this latino "lets be honest" Mexican invasion is this attitude they have. Here in the east they aren't so radical but out west, they honestly think they are natives that are entitled to that land. They don't even recognize America. They preach la raza and some other crap. Yea I hear you, it makes me sick. Im hoping their children born here will assimilate.< prob spelled that wrong again. I hear you.
