We gave the world maiz,tomates,chiles,avocados,zinnias, marigolds, poinsiettas,cafe,chocolate..all of these foods and flowers enrich our lives.
The thousand of years of human endevour to produce these crops, these gifts to the world, are nothing, I guess, in the eyes of the European invaders, who burned our books and enslaved our people.
I'm not asking for alms.
I want respect.
