  well when i first saw the book cover i was a little outraged but then thinking back to what the story said about it being out for 60yrs and people knowing about it kinda soften the blow but i still wouldnt like to have it sold in the walmarts that i shop at

  TheNewYorker: If we brought California, and Texas, rather it was for less or half the price or however much it was it doesnt matter, it's still ours, it doesnt justify the illegal immigrants that sneak into america.... So as i said before why would they try to mimic African Americans, but yet and still sneak away from there own people to be over here with us and Caucasians......

  OLE'OVA'SENSITIVE azzizzle!!! THIS IS A CUBAN-MEXI CARTOON CHARACTER...IF YOU LOOK AROUND BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH FULL LIPS, AND DARK COMPLEXTIONS. EVERYTHING ISN'T ABOUT OR AGAINST AFRICAN AMERICANS. FOR THOSE THAT ARE LACKING CULTURE...PANAMANIANS, DOMINICANS, CUBANS, BRAZILIANS, PUERTO RICANS...HAVE THE SAME FEATURES AS AFRICAN AMERICANS ALSO...THE "M" STANDS FOR HIS NAME DUMB-ASSES AND HE'S A YOUNG BOY TRYING TO HELP HIS MOTHER WITH SMALL JOBS. THIS IS SOOO OVER EXAGGERATED...FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO INSTEAD TRYING TO MAKE YOURSELF A VICTIM....WWWWAAAAAHHHH!!!

  NIECE:
  Actually, parts of the US belonged to Mexico first. Parts of Texas and California was Mexico before the US purchased it for less than half the price. They feel like it was stolen from them. But we(the US) made it more Modern. As the US is today before it was taken from the Native Americans.
  
  Althouh this does not make it right for Mexicans to mimic Afro-Americans cause our living conditions are %200 better than the sqawler that they call living.
