Poor man.

I wasn't in Phoenix. I live in Denver and I've been in the parades. The problem with your statement about flags is this: it's wasn't a simple statment of fact. It was a statement designed to represent the idea that Mexican immigrants are somehow disloyal to the U.S. or a threat or are in some other way are reprehensensible. I call bullshit. I'm not threatened the least by working people.
I was in the parades, which included U.S. and Mexican flags. I been on the bus with poor women, carrying U.S. flags, and their posters saying "I'm not a criminal", and I'm thinking, How were this people so dehumanized that they have to prove their right to exist without condemnation?
