Module 1 reflections from a Mexican across the border

Well, this has been quite a journey, I have always knew the story of my country and my people as segregated, as people who where stolen from their land and their belongings from the spanishards. The conquest of the Americas represented a shift in the way history was writen. The hole americas have faced in the modern era the most horrible and constant represion from their governments, the white poeple, industries and enrtepeneurs with money.

We where stripped of so many things, our families, our beliefs, our culture and we where imposed though a fake god. To this moment everything seems a lie and now, I understand why. The white supremacist have found the perfect ways to justify their cruelty. They write laws, they write science, they write fake facts in order to manipulate all those with the lack of scruples to kill somebody just because skin color, different beliefs, different origins.

The mexican people and the african american people have been in the same fight, and the white speech also got here, even to my ears. In my elementary and highschool i can remember how the sons of people who where on nice $$$ economic position and of course a little bit lighter skined, insulted and violented all those with darker skin. Unless that one was strong enough to defend himself from other 5 white primates.

We have bought the idea of being less, of being labor workers, so in the end there is a lot in common amongst us. Thinking also about the native americans in the US territory and the ones in Mexico and latin america, the europeans just came in to destroy and sack the last pice of gold, or slay everyone just because we were in a better conection with nature. Our buildings and structures were always to preserve and coexist with nature, not against it. Now we also see all the pollution that is pushed up to the areas where people with less resources or oportunities can afford.

I think is time to start bringing new things and ideas to life, to punish who need to be, and with care and love make a new path. To change whats needed to be changed, and that is a hard work for everyone out there, is not easy, and it wont be easy to make some people understand, but its worth the try.
