I sit here watching the news and they are discussing the fact, did the French bring this on to themselves (the riots)? Kind of funny considering where the United States of America is at this point. The same question could be asked, have we brought all this on to ourselves? This is just the beginning. I dont understand why all this is such a shock to everyone, it has been going on in Texas for the last 75 yrs. Just a month ago, Houston got a Major League soccer team, the one from San Jose. Well, they wanted to make the team name, Houston 1836er's. 1836 being the year that TX announced its independance from Mexico, Battle of the Alamo and San Jacinto, etc. (it would have a statewide fan base then) Well that didnt fly too well, 2 wks later, named changed to the Dynamos since it offended too many Mexicans. (espec since soccer is so popular with the Latino populations). The numbers dont lie, in areas of the SW from Texas to CA, demographis are changing. These students on the news walking out of school, most of them have never been taught US history nor TX history. If you asked them anything about the constitution, bill of rights, etc; they could not answer. No one knows their pasts, so no really has any pride in anything anymore, or maybe we arent allowed to have any pride anymore. The decisons made by the last few generations and the present ones, will weigh heavily on the future of this country. The winds of change are upon us and blowing heavily.
