ORIGINAL: erieangel There is no justification for what the NY delegate said. However, Mrs. Castro's perspective of the Alamo is her perspective, born out of her lived-culture. Native Americans say the white man "stole" their lands too; American citizens will say the land was there for the taking. Who is right? Well, her take's a little..... rough, but she's more or less right. Texas used to be part of Mexico, a ton of Americans came in and settled there (many were illegal immigrants - talk about irony), and then they decided they wanted to secede and form their own country. The Mexican govt of course wasn't too keen on that, and so there was a war, and the Alamo was the most famous battle. But that doesn't have a lot to do with the real issue - I'm not sure why subrob brought it up. The real issue is death threats, which are incontravertibly wrong and definitely should be investigated.
