      What is happening to Whites IS GENOCIDE.
      ANY conditions imposed on a RACE that lead to its eventual non-existence are.
      Assimilation is a KNOWN tactic of Genocide.
      If we are denied anywhere for ourselves, denied enough homogenous space for our long term preservation, and you support that, then YOU support White Genocide.
      Naturally an Anti-White would only insist it is an evilracistnazi who would dare not want his ownRace to go extinct
      Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

    I worked w/a guy who was a lower-level guy in the Mexican Mafia. He told me that Danny Trejo is super respected among "La Eme"....because they know that, while he's an actor who's "all Hollywood," Danny will NEVER disrespect La Eme--and sticks up for them in Hollywood. Plus--and this is a big plus--he still lives modestly and still hangs out w/his "plebe." According to my co-worker, there is a strict "no-hassle" order on him from the top: He is not to be "jacked" or ransomed or threatened. They love the guy.

      @@alexanderm3504 LOTS of people who were absolute nobodies were in San Quentin... You do know that right? 99% of people in prison are not heavy hitters, odds are Trejo was just another junk fiend mule who just did what he was told. It's beneficial for him to exaggerate his story to seem like more of a badass because it lands him gigs in TV commercials, movies, etc. It's called a gimmick, and you are buying right into it.

      @@quigglyjohnston6118 indeed, your right, but the time HE was in jail, was when all of these "Original Gangsters" that controlled alot of power were in jail, with him and knew about that. Now, today, there is no bodies in jail, before those people created super gangs that have spread throughout the U.S and even different parts of the world. Now is that cool? Fuck no! But the meaning of it is, This dude knew those people

    The opening line " I remember the movie that made me not want to go to prison was 'American Me' ". That's about the most true thing I ever heard. I think I was 9 when I saw it with our neighbor Rudolfo and his children. I was convinced after watching that, that prison was no place I ever fuckin wanted to be.
