    It means that you are anti-black, you think youre white and you dont speak spanish so Mexico doesnt claim you which makes you also racists against your own Mexican people and feeling insecure about yourself.

    At the begging of this mini doc you make it sound as if all Mexican Americans are immigrants. I was born here in the United States my mother was born here as well. I am American raised by an 80's American kid she was young when she had me lol but American culture is my culture my grandparents on the other hand are way way Mexican and I grow up with both both cultures. It's true that I am rejected by Mexicans and Americans all at the same time.
    I will say that from what I've seen tho people who were born in Mexico and now live in the US wouldn't consider themselves Mexican Americans probably for a long time, but I am, I am a Mexican American

    Disappointing Documentary just like the rest. It’s like visiting Tennessee and saying this is what it means to be American. American is American stop shooting yourself in the foot. I love my Mexican culture. I live in the USA and love to share my world same as I love to learn about other parts of the world through other Americans with diverse cultures. Please stop including Mexican culture with people who hold identity issues and insecurities of their own doing. Peace.🙏💜

    Being a Mexican-American means you're a mexican who was born in U.S soil, tho the "american" concept is misused since everyone who was born in the continent of America should be considered american and not only those who were born in the U.S

    every Mexican is American whether living in Mexico or the USA, America is a continent not a country.

    To be Mexican-American is to culturally assimilate yourself from your ancestral roots of indigenous culture. It’s quite sad many of these people are very confused about their identities. They have been brainwashed by colonialism, and ,white supremacy , along with the caste system created during the colonial era of the America’s. However, I will say….not all Mexican America’s are native or of native descendants. Many. Many. Many. Are but not all. There are many Mexicans who are indeed white or African descent. My point is directed towards the majority of the population that have abandoned their indigenous way of life. As the descendants of the native America’s it is our job to educate ourself on our culture.

    🛐🙏💕😭Heavenly Father JesusGod, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that His death and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! Amen!"

    💗❤❤❤💞This Gospel message if you continue to believe this messag, you will be saved: For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time,

    The way I see it is I'm a Mexican who was born in the U.S because my grandparents from both sides wanted a better life for their kids. I agree America is kinda nicer but Mexico is where my roots are so I have a deep connection with the country

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
