If we are of Mexican descendant, we should TAKE BACK THE 7 STATES THEY TOOK FROM MEXICO. Otherwise, give back those states to the Mexicans and the rest of the land to the Native-Americans aka Indigenous People since, it never belong to any of us.
Collect our reparations, plus find out where we belong and go back there. And stop supporting the White-Supremacists aka Thieves in America platforms (Green Party, Tea Party, Republican Party, Democratic Party etc.). Trust me, they do not represent us nor love us.
Note: Even if we are Latinos, Africans, Asians etc.
We ought to be ashame of ourselves being Toms and Tomasinas on that issue.

I never supported any political party because all are against us. I do support giving the 7 states back to Mexico and the remainder of the land back to the Real Americans aka Native-Americans aka Indigenous People. I am not one of the Real Americans nor Mexican descendant. If anyone should be complaining are those two groups. The rest of us are considered non-existance since, not of neither group. We are so busy kissing up to those political parties, which do not include us in their agenda. There is too much shuffling, bowing and scraping on this group. Instead of going forward, we going backwards mentally. This reminds me of the late 1940's and early 1950's, before the Black Power Movement came into existence. We still into 'I GOT A DREAM' mode, instead of MAKING THE DREAM TRUE mode aka get into a reality and demand reparations.
Note: I was not raised into a family of Toms nor Tomasinas. I been fighting reparations many years long before, you were known to me. I am not a 'Jane-come-lately' on getting what is due us. My grandfather was a Garveyist Note:I am 66 years old. It is time for the younger generation to take the reigns now.
Thanks, Hadassah, for this opening.
Given that you said, " We ought to be ashame of ourselves being Toms and Tomasinas on that issue. "
It is therefore fair to say that that includes you.
Given that the only person one has any control over is one's-self - you are first responsible for you.
As the saying goes, "To thine own-self be true...."
What are you doing about this?
Others are doing whatever they do?
If you are not doing anything about your "shame", let others be to do whatever they do just as you are doing whatever you do.
And, if you are, with honor, doing, taking action fulfilling those things that needs to me done; calling others to "shame" will not help your cause. People, all human beings are motivated by self interest.
It is, therefore, your mission as the convener of this issue to lead by example and to move people by committing them to their self interest.
In this space, "Call To Action", tell us what you are doing not what you are doing not what you believe or thing. Call us to join you in action.
