beautiful & emotional video

but not sure why you call it a feminist issue

[Divinity33372]

@LobsterPotsticker I didn't. You missed the point. I invite you to watch again :)

I loved your video, but I need you to break the stereotype of what hate is. You should hate: injustice, lies, evil, white supremacy, etc. If you don't hate that then you are tolerating it, allowing it to exist. Much like people didn't hate slavery, they tolerated it. I am sending you a video response.

[Divinity33372]

@AnahuacPilgrimage Very true. My comment that we should not hate was a statement against hating those whose ancestors came over here and did this to us, that we shouldn't hate those of European decent just for being of European decent. I know many who support us and I see them as a blessing to my life. But yes you are right, hating things like white supremacy is justified. Most of those of European decent subbed to me hate it as well. Thank you for your comment. @~>~~

You know what pisses me off (and I'm not even Mexican) is when people bitch about the Mexican immigrants (illegal or not). They bitch like the Mexican people don't belong here, but in reality a huge portion of the US used to be owned by Mexicans. Of course even before that, the indigenous nations lived across both continents.

@Asehpe U know, I'm 1 of those "Mexican/Americans" who grew up not knowing Spanish. Other Mexicans have told me I'm not really Mexican because of it which leads me to guess they knew little of our history too. I have never felt connected to it. I find the staunch loyalty many of my people have to Christianity (particularly Catholicism) to be more of a pain tbh.

@Wizano1 she looks more indigenous to me, and she is a very beautiful Nican Tlaca warrior :) we need more women and men like her.

[Wizano1]

Why do you identify yourself as an indigenous person? You look very spanish looking to me... and you do know most mexican americans come in mixed backgrouds..

You made me CRY ...Sister....SAD WORLD WE LIVE!

[SteeleHorse45]

YOU ARE SPOT ON! Thank YOU!

[Freya5000]

yes, very good..,

Well it is said that when the Spaniards came over, much of them raped the native women and thus created the Latino population. Thus, they are a mixture of Spanish and Native central American ancestry. Many of Herdando Cortes' men took native wives, for example. Much of the current Mexican population does indeed have Spanish ancestry, as well as native ancestry. Good video.

Please, continue. These things must be said.

@KrissytheWorldWithin

What roots, my dear? Your roots form an infinite circle of war, murder, rape and so on. It's unwise to take things like the holocaust of the original American peoples too personal. We don't have to go too far in our ancestry to find the first great-something-father or mother of yours who wronged my great-something-father or mother of mine. The sins of our fathers should not burden us and we should coexist in kinship despite our ancestral poison.
