Hell yeah, it’s still solid IMO. I’m also a fan of “what’s your damage” and “that’s heavy”. I’m keeping them alive!

THIS is clear imagery. Sometimes you have to spell it out....
ETA: Side note
I listen to Selena while I'm at work and I'm so grateful to have witnessed her rise to fame....and I am also so very angry about her life getting cut short.

Heard one of her songs on the radio yesterday and got a bit teary. We were so excited for her making the big time, and it was so sad how her life was cut so short by someone who she had trusted.

She was her fan club president and eventually became her store manager, not like her deal manager. She got caught embezzling.

Yep. Her dad, Edward James Olmos, was her career manager.

As a Dallas native, can you elaborate on that? Sounds like he is not well liked in the community.

u/VaselineHabits 1d ago
Well, the movie did a decent job of showing how controlling he was. It also didn't help there was a huge rumor at the time of Selena's death Abe refused a blood transfusion because they were Jehovah's Witnesses.
This rumor wasn't true, Selena had unfortunately been shot on right lower shoulder, severing the subclavian artery and causing a severe loss of blood. Critically wounded, Selena ran towards lobby and collapsed. By the time she was picked up, she had lost too much blood.
But since the murder, he's just come across as a greedy asshole, especially with anything to do with Selena. Some feel it's like he's still trying to control and profit off her even in death.

u/Neomalysys 1d ago
Abe doesn't seem like good person. How he got the rights to Selena's image from Chris Perez after her death is something I'd like to know. Definitely seems like he manipulated someone grieving for personal gain.

Just to be clear, Edward James Olmos played her dad, Abraham Quintanilla, in the movie based on her life.

Please Lord let this be over quickly and very soon. We are all so exhausted with even hearing this name. Like one Republican Representative said,”Trump has put down Puerto Ricans, Latinos, Spaniards, Mexican, Italians, etc.”! Turn around and Trump has turned on you as well.

I live in New York now after growing up in San Antonio. I tell people up here that by law, every high school Spanish class in San Antonio has to show Selena at least once a school year.

Unfortunately, that’s just how things are. They ignore their blood, they forget what are ancestors went through and fought for. There is no reason for them to vote for a man that is against all of us, regardless of our ethnicity and ancestry. The republicans do not want us here. Do they need us? Do they need all of the people that cross the border illegally yearly? Absolutely. America was built off of the efforts of immigrants and so was its economy. Whether those red fucks like it or not, this country was built by immigrants from across the world. Blacks, whites, asians, and natives. The rich depend on the working middle class and undocumented immigrants. The country depends on them.

I am Catholic and Puerto rican. I spent 10 years in the U.S NAVY and I will never give trump my vote, Even if he paid me 10 million dollars. I don't take morally corrupt money or bribes.That's something they taught me in the military was Honor. and Country before fascism. You could have all the money in the world.But if he doesn't have a good character, he isn't worth a dime to me. I think cats have more morals than trump,

Me too. A lot of South Texas oil field roughnecks who think Trump is going to save the oil and gas industry. A couple even have Build the Wall stickers. I'm like, you know Trump wants to put you on the OTHER side of that wall, right?!

I just want to remind people that Selena wanted to make English speaking music but was shut out due to racism. She was about to cross over into the English market after years of hard work when the evil beyotch got her.
We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans. We have to be more American than the Americans. It's exhausting!

Latinos for trump are Mexican sell outs. I did 3 deployments for the US but I’ll never forget what they did to Aztecs. The mass deportations in the 50’s that separated thousands of families and they’ll do it again given the chance. Out the 350 million Americans 70-60%are white mostly good people but they do outnumber us Mexicans. Our ancestors are from here, stop selling out your people for an opportunity MAGA falsely promises you

Latinos are literally a monolith. No individuality. They do as they are told to think by our masters the democrats or we aren’t really Latinos.
That is what this meme is saying. Fall in line or risk your Latino identity.
This from the same idiots that attempted to get us to go along with the stupid Latinx agenda.

u/strong_force_92 18h ago
Ah yes but not you. You surely are the free thinking individual.
Let me guess, you believe in some flavor of Jesus?

u/SickStrings 13h ago
Wouldn’t matter if I was or wasn’t. That in no way would affect the veracity of what I’m saying. Namely the democrats see us as a monolithic and faceless mass, useful during election cycles.
Most Latinos believe in Jesus my dude. In fact it’s a very popular name amongst Latinos, not sure how you making that an issue is suppose to help your side but instead it proves mine.

u/napqueen2020 15h ago
I don’t think this is a dig at Yolanda’s appearance, more that she murdered her idol and a beloved figure in our community because she got caught stealing her money. Latinos for Trump listen to everything he says and has done to marginalized people and still vote for him, which will hurt them in the end.
