For the second time in a week, an MSNBC segment that was meant to condemn racism ended up with the segment’s participants spewing hateful and racist comments towards others. This time, the incident occurred on Saturday’s The Cross Connection as host Tiffany Cross and Prof. Tanya Hernandez reacted to the Los Angeles City Council racism scandal by lamenting that some Latinos try to be and are “white.”
Cross declared that, “I’ve grown up in communities where the Latino community was very adjacent, and, you know, a lot of shared experiences. And, it does tend to, the common ground here is white supremacy because it seems like some people in the Latino community feel like if we’re white-adjacent maybe they will not be subjected to the same racism and prejudice.”
Anybody wondering about definition of “white-adjacent” was left wanting as Cross continued, “I want to show a clip from a great writer in The Atlantic who says ‘your ‘whiteness’ will always be relative.’—She’s directing this towards the Latino community—'You can utter as much garbage as you want about black people, you can vote Republican and lead the Proud Boys but you will never achieve whiteness. The ‘gift’ bestowed upon Italians and the Irish isn't happening for us.’”
The councilmembers who were compelled to resign were Democrats! They took Cross’s obsession with race-based identity politics to its logical conclusion. …

The Lying Leftists are RACIST, SEXIST, AND FASCIST.
Too many liberal racists out there.
Kind of a redundancy of terms, but yes, it is true.
They are white. Spain is in Europe. Many many hispanics in the new world have never intermarried with the native indian people of central and south America. Trust liberals to be clueless on this.
It’s not racism if all Leftists agree it’s OK to hate a particular race.
It’s true that Spaniards generally regard themselves as white. Many are thrown off when they come to the USA and they are lumped in with the “Hispanic” pigeonhole.
Anytime I hear an American say something dumb like “our area is mixed Caucasian and Hispanic” I want to slap them.
Latin America is a direct descendant of Latin Europe.
The mind of modern leftists...twisted masses of pretzel logic.
Not all the people therein.
Doublethink is real.
So would this make Bill Clinton “black-adjacent”?
Black racism is far more dangerous than any other kind.
A black woman who was born in Cleveland... Obviously, an expert on the Hispanic mindset. /S
What is “white”? WASP only? I know a lot of non-WASPs, including Latin Americans, Italians, Middle Easterners, who identify as “white.” No questions asked. Looking at the demographics of any municipality in which there is a large Hispanic population, the total is always more than 100%. For example, here is the breakdown for my town for the 2010 census:
“The racial makeup of the city was 76.3% White, 3.5% African American, 0.7% Native American, 0.7% Asian, 15.7% from other races, and 3.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 40.7% of the population.”
Some of those Hispanics could be black or other races or bi-racial, but I’ll bet a big chunk of those white people are Hispanics.
Too bad La Profesora didn’t get to them before they got so mixed up identity-wise.
Well, we’ll see. I can certainly understand it being personally painful.
For my part, any racism backed by nuclear offensive would be considered the most dangerous of all.
Yes, Latinos are white. Is that news?
In California Democrat politics, though, it's more likely they want to be the group that displaces both Whites and Blacks.
Did you seriously think they'd be permanently contented with second place, second fiddle, junior partner.
“white-adjacent”
These people are nuts.
