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.
