After yesterday's flood of comments in the May Day post, how could we not Ask a Mexican?

Why exactly you continue to print the hate-monger who writes in 'Ask a Mexican" is beyond me.

How am I a hate-monger, John?

the squares in north america don't want to hear about white privilege. "ask a mexican" is an honest look at race relations in the southland. but the guilty parties can't look at their behavior and must label the victim as the aggressor.
john, you really need to learn the history of orange county and los angeles. i recommend reading "city of quartz" to get a good beginning.

No one likes the war! No one wants the war! But what the charming Maxine should be marching for is stopping crime in our cities. More people (most of them innocent) die in LA in one month than die in Iraq. And most of these people are unarmed citizens (and even children) who have no way of defending themselves. That's what we should be marching about. Getting the crime ridden street cleaned up. People get shot without even leaving their homes. There's the cause to marck for, folks.
