tired of AZ racist bull!

So AZ is calling to Tuscon to rid itself of "illegal" mexican american studies. This upsets me, no, this enrages me! Are we still living in the days of the conquest? Where conquerors burned all historical documents of the native indigenous people, and erased their history by burning text books and stories of their past. Are we not a conquered people already? I personally feel like these racist, ignorant "don't let the immigrants legal 'cause they'll take our jobs and use up all our financial aid!" people are trying to conquer me and the Mexican-American generations who follow. To say that MY history is ILLEGAL is to say that I AM ILLEGAL, and last time I checked I was born right here on the land that used to be MX. History doesn't repeat itself, it is the American people who allow this kind of fear-based rhetoric to construe our minds, and control our logic. Until we stand up and say no more, ya basta, as a powerful giant, will they listen. With unity we shall have no fear, united we are powerful. I am not a conquered being, I will study my history before I study any other history! And I object to the teachings of the pubic schools in America, the black and white history they teach our kids. I will teach my children their own history before I teach them any other peoples history. If you do not know where you come from, the struggles of your ancestors, you will have no empowerment, your soul has no purpose. Once you connect yourself with your ancestors, then you begin to envision yourself as a warrior, a strong beautiful powerful being, who cannot and will not be stopped. And that is exactly what they want to take away from us, our power of knowledge, our history, ourselves.
