Im glad that people have the courage and strength to be who they want to be. Others and myself chould learn from thier teachings. Everyones story is different. So everyones point of view in life is also different. You just gotta keep going for someday it will get better. Thank you
I think its great that your self esteem is so positive and healthy. Stay strong, continue to dream, and on the way up don't forget to help others to be strong!
Say no to racism, say no to communities let's melt everyone ! mélangeons-nous mélangeons-nous ! I want every people to love the other people as he love his family, you can... the love tank is never empty.
Wow... some of these comments are so bitter. What is it about an attractive woman who's willing to set goals for herself that makes you so uncomfortable? Maybe she's being a little dramatic, maybe she makes a big deal about her origins, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that she has a goal, and whether it's becoming a doctor, a lawyer, or an actress, she's willing to work to get there.
thing is - what have you actually done to turn this experience into a positive for yourself or your community? - Showing off about hard times is sad and won't really get you anywhere - and if I were you I'd move on and not be so proud of the dark times in your life for fear that you might get into them overly and stay in them! go into teaching or nursing or politics to help your community and yourself in reality.
I wonder why this video turned into a major sexism debate? Honestly, she's just saying she's a strong woman, and proud to be strong. It's not where you come from, who your daddy is, or what color you are, it's how you react to situations that make you strong. She reacted in a positive way.
She looks a nice person. She should come and live in australia. You can walk at night and feel reasonable safe. Its the young kids getting bored, no jobs now for them. We are going the same way as the americas, I think about 5 years behind now.
I don't think I made it public where my country is. But it's actually not true, where I live caucasians are a minority, but we have better attitudes and no entitlement complexes so we strive.
I didn't say a bad environment is "okay". And it may be difficult to out of a rough neighborhood, but it's not impossible to do so. And you have to look for ways to get your feet off the ground.
I like how no one is understanding the point of this video. This isn't a video ABOUT race in general, it's about being proud of who you are, overcoming bad situations and trying your hardest to make the best of your life. And just because you asses got dumped by a girl doesn't mean we're all pieces of shit.
(2of2) The color of your skin or the place you live in doesn't mean a lot (especially when you did not chose it), to hate all the people from one place just because some of them seem to deserve is useless and sad according to me. Don't take it personal but please if you want us to discuss again please don't do stereotypes. I wish you to be happy, to love and to be loved by a lot of people in 2007. Happy New Year !
you kids don't know how good you have it. we used to live in a KFC bucket in the middle of the motorway, and have to get up 2 hours before we went to bed. Life was hard but we appreciated our daily whippings.
I think I eared that in a French song, I think it means some kind of "let's mix up" or something like that... Is that right sir ? is that shocking you ?
Educate them better about the realities of life in the States. (Actually this video is a good example of that.) I know only 5 people myself who actually went to live there, and all 5 came back so fast you couldn't measure their Doppler shift!
Please........... Those places are only "bad" because people want them to be. But in places like Southern brazil they have zero to no choice. In America you have more choices, and options.
Its funny how we have all this TALK about how ruff it is, in the hood. And how bad Compton, The Bronx, and Boston is. And bla bla bla. Bu the fact is that NO HOOD in the US is as bad or as RUFF as lets say Thailand or Southern Brazil. Man the Compton is a kingdom compared to those places.
And how many men do you know who are bossed around by their woman and you REALLY respect them for it? I know everytime I have let a woman take charge she later dumped me... So go figure... :)
I re-read your reply, I have come to the conclusion you're not super original. She makes the point that her life is harder because she's a "latina woman", now if I said my life was harder because I was a caucasian many would regard that comment as racist.
Jesus H. Christ. I'm a single mom of two kids..I do not and would not allow myself or my kids to live like that. All you gotta do is get a good job and move the fuck out. Thats being a hell of a lot stonger then roamin the streets sayin your strong... prove it.
I don't see any proof to support that charge. :) As it stands we have a woman suffering from self inflicted victimhood who refuses to identify herself as an American. That my PC chum is the root cause of segregation.
Yeah i def. know what you mean im not white but i do realize that whites have to be way more careful of how they choose their words especially when talking of being proud or anything of that nature...it's weird how shit is in america.....
Simple: I do not believe a word of it. I believe she is an actor and the whole thing is that syrupy american Oprah-style bile that resonates only with people with no real insight in to the human condition.
Hm...seems you never 've been in a "ghetto" (hate this name for places in wich poorness makes people fight..), my ex-girl once got a knife on her faces when she walked home at night, just for a few bucks...and that was a in a place nobody calls a ghetto....how "tough" do you think is it to make your day in a place where would kill for a few bucks? (yeah, I knew people who would do such things...belive it or not...thats how it goes if your not growing up in a safe area where nobody
ok, if you're a strong women, then i'm a muslim-jew wtf, there are loads of rough hoods and stuff does that make me a strong person wtf, i go out at night time crackheads and stuff does'nt mean im going to get strong -,- but if you get into that stuff then fair enough.... -,-
what does this have to do with what i said? if youre going to talk time to criticise me at least read what i wrote and make your counter point because whos fault is it if you get raped esp if your a young woman in a place you shouldnt be after a certian time of night you took that risk call me sexist i dont care im tired of people blaming other people for the situations they put themselves in.
Why do you women need men? Why do you keep looking for one. When it is proven that you can take care of yourself better than they can take care of you or themself.
"community dint hold me down" ... so basicaly nobody is anygood in her community? how about the local churchs and people trying to fix stuff. Sounds like wants to turn her back on it 100%. Cute face though. Anyone can be tough who cares, its about fixing shit.
So how strong... strong enough to get her Doctorate in Criminal Psychology or to pull a double shift at McDonalds? Is she strong enough to become sucessful in life and master the english language or strong enough to kick the shit out of any chicky who looks at her wrong? Talking strength... to me = weakness. If you were really a strong woman you wouldn't be posting videos of yourself talking tough in the ghetto. Your message would be in your example.
i loved it, fantastic.
beautifull and powerfull- great role model material!-Deb
wow this was amazing and this woman is absoloutly beautiful!!!

Well said, man. I wish more people thought like you!
Im glad that people have the courage and strength to be who they want to be. Others and myself chould learn from thier teachings. Everyones story is different. So everyones point of view in life is also different. You just gotta keep going for someday it will get better. Thank you
I think its great that your self esteem is so positive and healthy. Stay strong, continue to dream, and on the way up don't forget to help others to be strong!

I agree totally with Laramas about this video.
She lived through it and learned how to deal with it, which made her a stong person.
1 womb 1 heart 1 love 1 legacy 1 child 1 hope
Amen
Geeze man... that is a CLASSIC! Have you got any further lyrics to that one? Damn, that kills me... ROFLMFAO!!!

Yo soy de El Salvador
she's pretty
That's where a refuse to loose attitude comes in handy.
Say no to racism, say no to communities let's melt everyone ! mélangeons-nous mélangeons-nous ! I want every people to love the other people as he love his family, you can... the love tank is never empty.
thats a latina role model for u...im proud to be who i am... a puerto rican american
tobtobtob, you are the skuxness :) the love tank is indeed never empty! :P :P

She should come and live in australia.
You can walk at night and feel reasonable safe.
Its the young kids getting bored, no jobs now for them.
We are going the same way as the americas, I think about 5 years behind now.
A lot of people look for ways to get their feet off the ground so they can move up and out, and just end up in worse situations.
I don't think I made it public where my country is. But it's actually not true, where I live caucasians are a minority, but we have better attitudes and no entitlement complexes so we strive.
I know, man. And check out the bushfire!

And just because you asses got dumped by a girl doesn't mean we're all pieces of shit.
Yes, men who don't mind women treating them like pieces of shit while demanding she be worshipped as a goddess do, in fact, "deserve her".
(2of2)
The color of your skin or the place you live in doesn't mean a lot (especially when you did not chose it), to hate all the people from one place just because some of them seem to deserve is useless and sad according to me.

..(ok, but I agree, it's nothing to whine about too...think thats the message...just try to make it better...)
why do so much people dislike this?......cough cough racists
you kids don't know how good you have it. we used to live in a KFC bucket in the middle of the motorway, and have to get up 2 hours before we went to bed. Life was hard but we appreciated our daily whippings.
I think I eared that in a French song, I think it means some kind of "let's mix up" or something like that... Is that right sir ? is that shocking you ?
she soo dam fine lol when i seen the movie for the 1st time i said that looud lol
Fagile is one thing but you can still be lady like. And if your not girly your viewed as I guy. Or a man hater.(Which most of you tough women are.)
Make me a sammich.
I see how it made her stonger, maybe you guys haven't gone through something hard, because anything like that will make you stonger.
what is the music?
Educate them better about the realities of life in the States. (Actually this video is a good example of that.) I know only 5 people myself who actually went to live there, and all 5 came back so fast you couldn't measure their Doppler shift!
I see you managed to get a punctuation lesson.
Ask Germaine Greer that question.
this video is kind of...Crap. but im with u on ur comment.
:)
Please........... Those places are only "bad" because people want them to be. But in places like Southern brazil they have zero to no choice. In America you have more choices, and options.
No where in the UNITED STATES is as ruff as other ruff parts in the world.
yeah everybody's got shit to deal with....being a woman or latina doesnt mean anything, as much as people would like to think
why are latins so proud, its a good thing dont get me wrong.
Its funny how we have all this TALK about how ruff it is, in the hood. And how bad Compton, The Bronx, and Boston is. And bla bla bla. Bu the fact is that NO HOOD in the US is as bad or as RUFF as lets say Thailand or Southern Brazil. Man the Compton is a kingdom compared to those places.
Mi Americasa su Americasa.
How the heck does something like this get so many views?
And how many men do you know who are bossed around by their woman and you REALLY respect them for it? I know everytime I have let a woman take charge she later dumped me... So go figure... :)
What do you think is easier, being a white, rich, christian, conservative, hetrosexual male. Or say a black, blind, dwarf, lesbian hindu?
I re-read your reply, I have come to the conclusion you're not super original.
She makes the point that her life is harder because she's a "latina woman", now if I said my life was harder because I was a caucasian many would regard that comment as racist.
What country is Latina?
Maybe if she decided to become a member of her nation things might work out better for her.
Jesus H. Christ. I'm a single mom of two kids..I do not and would not allow myself or my kids to live like that. All you gotta do is get a good job and move the fuck out. Thats being a hell of a lot stonger then roamin the streets sayin your strong... prove it.
Whats a le tina?
Im from australia.
steubenville,ohio football
hahah if u have a latino mother, ud know what ninjabarry is saying !
i thinnk she just look like alicia keys
How is it trash, though, Herrkaliyuga?
I always make an effort to spell and punctuate. But please don't make me read music!
Why would I blame my race on my social problems?
why the hating?
I don't see any proof to support that charge. :)
As it stands we have a woman suffering from self inflicted victimhood who refuses to identify herself as an American.
That my PC chum is the root cause of segregation.
Yeah i def. know what you mean im not white but i do realize that whites have to be way more careful of how they choose their words especially when talking of being proud or anything of that nature...it's weird how shit is in america.....
...has enough money to buy safety..)
You're right, of course. Now, imagine the furore and Nazi supremacist name-calling there'd be if she was a white MAN!!
saying i am strong woman, It's the same as saying i am the king, but actually im not right?
Simple: I do not believe a word of it. I believe she is an actor and the whole thing is that syrupy american Oprah-style bile that resonates only with people with no real insight in to the human condition.

ok, if you're a strong women, then i'm a muslim-jew wtf, there are loads of rough hoods and stuff does that make me a strong person wtf, i go out at night time crackheads and stuff does'nt mean im going to get strong -,- but if you get into that stuff then fair enough.... -,-
nice message .. but really.. there isnt really a big deal bout it.
Its called survival of the fittest.
heheh your funny
what does this have to do with what i said? if youre going to talk time to criticise me at least read what i wrote and make your counter point because whos fault is it if you get raped esp if your a young woman in a place you shouldnt be after a certian time of night you took that risk call me sexist i dont care im tired of people blaming other people for the situations they put themselves in.
um is there something wrong with this video i dont see any thing wrong
What are the odds the Director (yes, there was one) was a man?
no one seems to have gotten the point of this video
Hey, I think that's prejudice .
Why do you women need men? Why do you keep looking for one. When it is proven that you can take care of yourself better than they can take care of you or themself.
lol at this video
Gets old to me , like most of youtube ..
"community dint hold me down" ... so basicaly nobody is anygood in her community? how about the local churchs and people trying to fix stuff. Sounds like wants to turn her back on it 100%. Cute face though. Anyone can be tough who cares, its about fixing shit.
??? sorry I don't speack french
hahah
So how strong... strong enough to get her Doctorate in Criminal Psychology or to pull a double shift at McDonalds? Is she strong enough to become sucessful in life and master the english language or strong enough to kick the shit out of any chicky who looks at her wrong? Talking strength... to me = weakness. If you were really a strong woman you wouldn't be posting videos of yourself talking tough in the ghetto. Your message would be in your example.
this movie is a walking cliche
Not being able to spell and a simple typo being two different things - before you drag yourself away from your playstation to score a cheap point.
