People often want to put you into boxes. You’re either this or you’re that, but you can’t be a melting pot of both. Growing up, I had a tough time with this. Even though I thought I fit neatly in a category, others didn’t think so.
That’s why I find this video with Soledad O’Brien so refreshing. Instead of only identifying with part of her heritage, she embraces all of it. ...

I just want to make a comment about that video with Newt Gingrich. It really angers me. Notice how that was filmed in 2007, it is now 2012 and he is running to be the leader of our country. Do we really want this kind of man in the seat? We can change this, by VOTING!
Everyone must vote for whom they think is the best candidate, but please-not this man!
ahorton92 asked: That comment is fucking terrible. It was not a slip up it was him trying to be funny. Keyword: trying. SMFH and [white] people say racism doesn't exist

This morning the FBI arrests four police officers in East Haven, Connecticut, and accuses them for bullying and harassing Latino residents. Asked what he would do today for the Latino community in his town, the mayor of East Haven said he didn’t know, but he might go home and have tacos. It’s on tape. Watch it. It’s priceless.
What do you think? Just a slip or intentional?

Four East Haven police officers were indicted on Tuesday for illegally targeting the Latino community, prompting Mayor Joseph Maturo to voice his support of the embattled officers. When asked by a New York City-based WPIX reporter what he’s doing to support Latinos, the Republican mayor said, “I might have tacos when I go home.”
WTF?

Univision’s Jorge Ramos grilled Newt Gingrich on the comment he made in 2007 stating that Spanish was the language of “living in a ghetto.”
You heard it, straight out of the horse’s mouth. Fuck that man. Are we ghetto guys? I think not.

“That in itself is jarring, but we need to remember the proper context. This is not simply a book-banning; according to Tom Horne, the former state schools’ superintendent who designed HB 2281, this is part of a civilizational war. He determined that Mexican American Studies is not based on Greco-Roman knowledge and thus, lies outside of Western Civilization.”
