    I see my folks pinoy thank god our Filipino gang culture dont ecxicst anymore in America Filipinos dont see color line we.have many faces and color of our people alot of people do not know our native Filipinos are melanesian Filipino negritos aeta they look exactly like african american but they are short sad how the second generation of Filipinos never get to go home and see the beautiful slums and million dollar high rise and our 7500 islands of world class beaches that are blue waters really break taken almost chose that gang life culture in the 1980s not knowing prison is segregated by race and racism and animal survival of predators inside the prisons but life can be changed in a second one hateful person can change your life and you get into a fight that the other person provoke you to do I'm glad I chose the right path sad how in America you show kindness is a weakness but in the Philippines you show kindness it a beautiful thing
