I was born and raised in Santa Ana and I lived there for 24 years. I am the daughter of immigrants, I too once lived in the 92701 zip code. There is no city I love more and no other place I would consider my home. Santa Ana is in Orange County, but it is not the Orange County that you see on television. A majority of the population is Latino, mostly immigrants, and there is an extremely high poverty rate. There is little access to parks for children, few people have health insurance, and there is often violence on the streets. 

Someone brought this documentary to my attention, and in the first minute I recognized someone I knew - the woman and her son talking about having to play in a parking lot after hours because they could not afford the bus fare to go to a park. I used to do free in-home tutoring for children in Santa Ana and he was one of my students. He and his mother lived in a small studio above an apartment complex. She is a single mother and he has a learning disability. I know firsthand how hard she worked for her son and his improvement.

I hope this short documentary can bring to light some of the issues going on in the most populated city in Orange County and show people that “the OC” is more than beach towns, wealthy white folk, and Disneyland.

I want a pug so bad now!!!!!

This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:

The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.

According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.

When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.

So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.
