The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.

True Story

(youngfresh)Black Guy from NY: light skinned mexican? LOL LOL thats the first time I ever heard that description whats up with you girl?
Me: Right. Well, I am not a joke. You need only to pick up a proper history book to read about the Spanish invasion of Mexico in the early 1600's and the French invasion of it in the late 1800's to understand how natives living in south america normally with dark skin and dark eyes have now been assimilated into many different shades. Also I said Mexican American, I do have a white French American mother. My dad who was born and raised in Mexico is as light as I am but with more prominent Latin features. Some of his sisters have light skin and green eyes. It surprises me that this ignorant statement is coming from a light skinned black guy from one of the most culturally diverse cities on the planet. I didnt LOL LOL so much but had to respond should you ever hear a light skinned person speaking Spanish and become confused. Enjoy your weekend, Young. Stay fresh but don't forget that the past is important.
(youngfresh)Black Guy from NY: It doesn't matter you hispanic people are still the most racist people in the world. You are EUROPEAN and you are responsible for slalvery.
Uhh... First of all.... hahaha ahhhh. I'm not even mad. I laughed out loud for real when I read this.
Questions for you to ponder..
Is there such thing as a light skinned Latino/a?
Is the Spanish they speak real?
Can any history book in America be described as "proper"?
Does this post look too European on me?
Who IS responsible for slavery?
