Doesn't surprise me. This is the same state that wants to boycott Arizona because they have the balls to tackle an issue no one else has wanted to deal with in a long time...

I don't understand why we are celebrating a Mexican holiday, I see it as a reason to drink, nothing more. This aint Mexico spic! Go celebrate your holiday in your country. Just a heads up, the French revolution is July 14th, so save your fireworks

You answered your own question...it's a reason to drink (for those that do), same as St. Patrick's Day.

As for hurling racial epithets...it does nothing to advance your point of view and in fact, by revealing yourself to be a monosyllabic mouth-breather, you chase an audience away...thus, there is no one around to convince that you have a valid point of view, much-less that you are worth listening to.

From my memory (its been a while since history class) Cinco de Mayo celebrates a single victory over the French in the early 1860s in a war that Mexico ultimately lost. From what I recall, many places in Mexico don't even celebrate it. I think most American Mexicans would agree it is nothing more than another holiday that gives everyone (black, white, yellow, brown, green, purple) an excuse to go out and party. Think St. Pattys day. You don't see Irish Americans up in a roar when people fly American flags on St. Pattys.

Total Freakin BS!!!

Here is a sign held by one of the protesters in Arizona over the new immigration laws.

How do you even deal with this kind of mentality.    If I was a cop I would have arrested him on the spot for assault.

Well damnit I think that guy owes me free landscaping for life then.

cinco de mayo is just a holiday for drinking the real independence day of mexico isnt even may 5th

[DD85runner [OP]]

i wonder what would happen if a bunch of americans went down to mexico waving the U.S. flag on the forth of july? that picture that toymin8r posted is complete BS thats not only disrespectful to our who entire country, but extremely disrespectful to the people who's family members were killed, youre right he shouldve been arrested. and people who think wearin the american colors in our own country is disrespectful should just go back to the country you came from, you live in the U.S.!

Bingo, on one province of Mexico celebrates. They do celebrate May day and September 16th, which is their actual independence day
