    1. Image-based memes involve, primarily, an image created by somebody. Sometimes the meme creator is also the image creator, but often, when involving movie stills or images of celebrities, the image’s copyright is owned by someone else. American copyright law gives creators the exclusive rights of reproduction, modification, distribution, performance, and display. The viral spread of a meme infringes on theses protections as the original image is modified and then displayed, distributed and reproduced when posted and reposted.

      When I read this small part I knew that the person that creates a meme can also be the one that makes it blow up in the internet or social media. I found it interesting how meme can also have copyrights and how people are able to post someone else meme without their permission. It is very easy to get a hold of someone work without getting in trouble too.

    1. “Some of what is happening now will make these white supremacists realize why their grandparents wore hoods,” Ms. Wilson said. “At least then there was shame.”

      This article shocks me in many ways and how I learned a new thing and that was Doxxing. This comment really caught my eye just because they can be referring back to clans back then and how they kept their identity a secret to avoid the hate that they would be getting. How Doxxing you show your face and people can see who you are and the protest.

    1. She understands what all Mexicans do, that cops and criminals play for the same team, and so she and her son Luca, the massacre’s other survivor, flee.

      This quote shows that Lydia doesn’t want to be a part of a cop or gang violence that she wants to be out of both sides. She also says she knows what every Mexican does and what is that? I don’t believe she feels left outside because she herself said that she prefers to leave the scene.

    2. Rather than look us in the eye, many gabachos prefer to look down their noses at us. Rather than face that we are their moral and intellectual equals, they happily pity us. Pity is what inspires their sweet tooth for Mexican pain, a craving many of them hide.

      This passage stood out to me because she talked about how Americans don’t always confront situations about Mexicans coming here and Americans not liking it that we are here. This makes me think how is so true that Americans hold so many things back and some aren’t afraid. The way that they want the Mexican culture but they want us to feel pain and all they do is want, want, and want from us but don’t want us makes it confusing. The author feels like an outsider because she doesn’t know where to fit in or how she should act.
