INJUSTICE HAS NO BORDERS - LA INJUSTICIA NO TIENE FRONTERAS
"Usualmente cuando la gente esta triste, ellos no hace nada. Solo se lamentan acerca de su condición. Pero cuando ellos se enfurecen, es cuando promueven el cambio."Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change."
Malcolm X
Here are three video that made me really angry today. The drawing is by W. S. Cheng
VIDEO: CÁRCEL PARA NIÑOS INMIGRANTES EN EEUU
(2:09 minutos)
Este video de Freedom Files provee "una vista impactante a las condiciones en que viven inmigrantes detenidos en esta cárcel de Texas, administrada por el Departamento de Seguridad de la Patria. De los casi 400 detenidos del Centro de Detención de Hutto, muchos son menores que pertenecen a familias que solicitan asilo político en EEUU, después de escapar persecución en sus países de origen." Esos menores visten ropas de detenidos, tienen limitado acceso a recreación, educación y atención médica apropiada.
PRISON FOR CHILDREN IN THE US
(2:09 minutes)
This new Freedom Files video short "provides a shocking glimpse into conditions at a Texas facility to detain immigrants run by the Department of Homeland Security. Of the approximately 400 detainees at the Hutto Detention Facility, many are children who belong to refugee families seeking political asylum in the U.S. after escaping persecution in their country of origin." These children wear prison clothes, and have limited access to recreation, education and health care.

VIDEO: SUJETO RACISTA ATACA UN INMIGRANTE
(1:01 minutos) En miles de esquinas y estacionamientos de las ciudades de EEUU, los jornaleros o trabajadores indocumentados se juntan cada día para esperar por empleadores que necesiten de su trabajo temporal. Ellos negocian su empleo en esos lugares y usualmente trabajan por un salario injusto, pero para ellos es la única forma de sobrevivir y enviar dinero a sus familias. En este video, un racista anti-inmigrante ataca a un jornalero y le insulta con expresiones referentes a su estado legal y a su aspecto físico. Le grita “Jódete pendejo (tonto) ilegal, chica, mono, hombrecito, chaparro, perra, hijito.” Los indocumentados observan impotentes alrededor, porque si reaccionaran sería un motivo para que la policía los detenga y pudieran ser deportados. El racista es miembro de Save Our State, un grupo anti-inmigrante creado por un político de Ventura, California y lleva un cartel que dice: “Alto al empleo de ilegales foráneos”
RACIST MAN ATTACKS AN IMMIGRANT
(1:01 minute) In hundreds of corners and parking lots around the US, undocumented workers or day laborers get together every day to wait for employers that need of their temporal labor. They negotiate their employment right there and usually they work for unfair wages, but for them is the only way to survive and to send money home. In this video, a racist anti-immigrant protester assaults a day laborer and insults him with slurs in reference to his legal status and physical looks. He yells: “Fuck you illegal pendejo (dumb), chica (woman), monkey, little man, chaparro (short man), bitch, little son.” Other undocumented immigrants observe around, with no much to do, since any reaction can be used for police to detain them and possibly deport them. This racist person is a member of Save Our Planet, an anti-immigrant group created by a politician of Ventura, California.

VIDEO: PERUANO RACISTA EN EEUU
(0:09 segundos) Este video has sido hecho por gammasdj un peruano en Trenton, New Jersey. Asumo que es peruano por su acento limenio y por las jergas que hace decir a un hombre negro, quien no habla espanol y no sabe lo que esta diciendo. Para defender su broma racista, el autor responde: "Si tienes razon, choro significa ladron, bien basicamente es una broma, mi amigo Andre (el negro) ni siquiera habla un poco de espanol, entonces yo le dije que diga eso, oh y Chincha es un lugar de gente negra en Peru, y hay bastantes ladrones por alla." El racismo es un desorden mental, pero para algunos les parece algo gracioso.
RACIST PERUVIAN IN THE US
(0:09 seconds) This video has been made by gammasdj a Peruvian in Trenton, New Jersey. I assume that he is from Peru because of his accent from Lima and for the slang he makes repeat to a black guy, who doesn't speak Spanish and don't know what he is saying. To excuse his racist joke, the author response is: " yeah!!! u r right, choro means burglar, well basically it was a joke, my friend andre (black guy) doesnt even speak a little bit of spanish so, I just told him to say that :D oh and Chincha its a land of black people in Peru, and there are a lot of stealers around there." Racism is a mental disorder but for some it can be something funny.
