Being a Latino can sometimes be hard, for those who don't like your skin color.
For those who don't like you speaking Spanish
For those who think you would steal from them because you're different
They don't know the pain we go through when the “privileged people” take us from our family.
They don't know how they make us feel when we are called names when we are disrespected because of our race because we aren't the “privileged people’’ who walk around untouched by the ratchet society.
We remain silent because most of the time we are too afraid to speak up for our community, to let them know who we truly are. Hard working people, who aren't what people say we are, who try their best to fit in this society. Make sure we aren't kicked out for being different.
