Thread: NCLR ALMA AWARDS BARF!!!

Dont ask me why but I just want to puke when this crap gets shoved in my face!!!! If Latinos want every american to accecpt their culture then they need to stop segrating themselves by putting on these selfish displays of latino only recnogizationand expect the rest of us to care!!! If white people had a whites only award show they would be denounced as a hate group racist orginaztion trying to replace other groups achevements with their own.

They will never understand by segragating themselves that they create public backlash and division for all of their people and keep most latino Illegals from accecpting americas values and culture!!!!And that is what keeps us all divided with no common ground!

I just feel that way but I would like to know where I am totally wrong because I strive to make shure that if Im in a arugment with a bonehead I can come correct.

IMO.... a RACIST, HATE EVERYONE BUT LATINO'S ORGANIZATION!
They only provide for ONE race...their own!
If that isn't DISCRIMINATION....what is??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this took place in the US then that's an insult because it basically pushes for a balkanization and affirmation of their difference and eventually their civil rights claim to their Spanish language and if we dont attetntion then we are a second Canada.

It should have taken place in a Latino country where Spanish is Dominant but not here. It's insane. But they can do that until they realize that it will not go anywhere. You will never have a Spanish speaking only middle class in teh US. Where are those Spanish only speaking Universities to churn out doc, architects, engineers, lawyers etc?

So my dear Latinos who live in this fantasy, razmatz Miami Vice salsa merengue type of cloud wake up to the realities of living in the US. Here to succeed we speak English and that WILL NEVER EVER change.
I guess if you are in the media business the music business, the entertainement business etc you give the impression to the poor latino immigrant that he or she too can live here without English - the latino community is actually shooting itself in the foot!

That's a shame because they too deserve a shot at a American dream but i am sorry not the United Nations or teh tower of babel dream though.

I am really getting FED UP with ABC. They televised these awards?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

I am about ready to TURN OFF ABC FOR GOOD, INCLUDING THE PROGRAMS I WATCH ON THIS NETWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
