“If you wish to destroy an area, how do you do it? Well there are two ways: you can go in there and bomb it and so forth, but that is not very efficient. What you do is you try to get the people in that area to kill each other and to destroy their own territory, their own farms, and that’s what’s been done in that area. So, the way in which you destroy an opponent, is get him to destroy himself, by dividing his ranks against one another.”

The US government is actually using the name of the continent to its citizens and country. We are US citizens and citizens of the United States. Everyone in North America Central America South America the Americas the American continent is an American like Asia are Asians Africa are Africans and Europe are Europeans. What happened first? The United States of America or the American continent? The United States of America became a nation on the date of July 4th of 1776 and the whole entire continent was already named America after Amerigo Vespucci in the year 1507 that's 269 years difference way before the United States of America became a nation. Europe has 50 countries Asia has 51 countries Africa has 54 countries Oceania has 14 countries and America is not a country America is a continent of 35 countries in total. Why are people not educated about America?

Like I said, it’s probably just bias mainly due to nostalgia. Do you have a specific example as to why “American Me” is inferior to “Blood In, Blood Out”? A lot of people say it’s because it’s too sentimental at times, and there’s cringe moments. Do you agree with that?

Growing up in gang infested neighborhoods becomes a matter of survival. It becomes a way of living you become a third breed that won't be understood. Some of us having both our parents good hard workers good morals dignity but never at home. had to fend for our selfs schools never helped.....you would have to live it to understand it

If its all you see its all you know. I remember leaving the hood to nice area for the first time and I thought I was at Disneyland but it was just over the hill in West Covina. We need to help these kids to see there is more to life, shit that there is a life that they can have.

First of all, Olmos did not properly ask the permission of the gang bosses to make this movie, and have characters that were based on real life. He actually lied about getting the OK. Then he got way in over his head with creative liberties. Rodolfo Cadena (the real-life Santana) was not really raped in Juvie. It was also not true that he ended up being murdered by his own crew. The hit was carried out by rival Nuestra Familia. It was true however that at the time his significance in La Eme was diminishing. At any rate, people got murdered because of these, and Olmos had contract for years

Bottom line is people create their own paths and choose to live a good life or a life of destruction! There is no easy way for the majority of us, you either make the choice to educate yourself and build a life, or choose to blame circumstance and what you don't or didn't have as an excuse for not doing the right things? Life is hard no matter how much you have or don't have and it's much more difficult to be part of the solution than it is being the problem? proving everyone wrong is one of the sweetest victories in life and sets an example for other family and friends...

I think what a lot of these people, yourself included is that to say something like that is you're forgetting that you're not a minority. Mexico is a big country that takes many intellectual people to make up and be the strong nation it is. Don't limit yourself and act one way because the American media portrays you in such ways.
