Ugh. She looks like one of the females from The Planet of the Apes.
Hispanics are white. If you are Hispanic, you have been here for the same exact amount of time as Nordic Europeans. The English and the Spaniards crossed the Atlantic in the same decade during the end of the 15th century and the only race that has resided in the Americas longer than anyone are the Native Americans. Besides, who cares who was in LA longer, that place sucks.
Thank you for reviving a 15 month old thread, causing my brain to reboot.
Left-wing Hispanics have successfully created a new race for themselves, the so-called “Brown” race. From their “Brown” pedestal they mostly denigrate Whites while poking fun at their Black brothers-in-chains.
My response in post #20 was a subtle jab at the original poster who said that Latinos were in LA long before Whites or Blacks. Such a claim is hogwash as “Latinos” are White.
I particularly enjoy the “Latinos” who claim they are part of the Native American experience and thus are the true owners of large parts of the Southwest. All the while the racists in Mexico to this day will not employ nor educate the Native Indians so prevalent in Mexico.
Thus the City of Angels.
Wrong, The City of Los Angeles was formed by the "SPANISH" Governor Felipe de Neve in 1781.
LATINO is a wrongly adopted name, because none of the Countries claiming that name have roots in the Latin language, which was the language of the Roman Empire.
If anyone has a claim to be a "of Latin heritage" Italy, France,Germany,Romania,Belgium,Spain etc. will be the names coming to mind, not Mexico, for sure.
Just because Spain's Armada conquered and discovered new Lands and Continents, by lending their language to the indigenous of their territories, it won't make those countries "of Latin Heritage".
JMHO...by the way, I speak, write and read Latin!
Whoa! I was only using the term Latino in deference to the poster.
I grew up in the L.A. area, and had lots of California history in the early grades.
BTW, what took so long to jump my post, that was actually about Ophelia Ford.?
The Latino thing was just a side note.
Well, I responded to your side note, which was wrong in the assumption you presented!
LAUSD I presume!? I figured that much.
As for Ophelia Ford's matter, it looks like the Senator Lady is a drunk/addicted and trying to shove it under the rug.Period!
I now live in the Memphis area.
The Ford's never shove anything under rug. They are wide open with their criminal activities.
Listen, I do apologize for my remarks to you. I have a strong aversion towards LAUSD, because of their sub-par performance and teachings of the students!
They are coming across like a semi-political indoctrination machine for the Democrat Party to me, therefore I have very little respect for that institution.
There is nothing semi-political about it. They, unsurprisingly, are left-wing, liberal, progressive Democrats that want nothing more than to teach kids everything except:
1. Reading
2. Math
3. Writing
4. English
