    Some are trying. About amonth ago we were walking around downtown montgomery. Around the church that MLK used here there were many out of place looking people. By out of place Im saying I could tell these people were from N.Y., or some other big city and they had their nose in the air looking down upon all the locals that walked by.

    These people were the behind the scenes people for a hispanic march the following day. The were using MLKs church as a symbol.

    He'd be called out for using apostrophes where they aren't warranted.

    Multiple people from Mexico are Mexicans. No apostrophe needed.
    The ' denotes a possessive.

    Example;

    That is the Mexican's house.

    That would mean another holiday for some dead Mexican. So since were limited on the amount of holidays we are allowed we'd have to trade the 4th. of July for the dead Mexicans holiday.

    Some of you folks probably weren't old enough to remember in the 60's how the news covered it every night. Grammar police don't bother me. I live with an English expert Teacher. She would correct any of y'all.

    The difference is that the Mexicans came here of Their Own free will so They have no right to whine about anything.

    The Mexicans already have more rights and receive more benefits than the blacks were asking for in the 60s.

    You remember MLKJr but not Chavez?

    I think another Hispanic civil rights leader would be treated much the same way Cesar was.

    You ever work a short handled hoe?

    Well WE used to get Presidents day off. Rather then give us an extra day off they took the Presidents day away and they gave us MLK day off.
