I have been told more times than I can count that although there is animosity between black and white, and also between brown and white, that the animosity between black and brown is far greater and will be the real issue in any kind of race war in the USA.
As Hispanics are trafficked here to fill the growing voids between urban cores and suburban whites, they are displacing blacks in the workforce (including government set-aside jobs and contracts), political offices, neighborhoods, the drug trade (and related prisons)...some blacks leading up to the 2016 election finally seemed to realize they were losing badly with the open border.
Go to any public school in Los Angeles and you will soon find out that Brown and Black people are the most racist people on the planet. And there are NO white people to speak of in the public schools in the greater los angeles area.
Mexicans don’t particularly like black people, black people know this and don’t like Mexicans back. This whole idea of ‘people of color’ united against whites is a myth that the ‘leadership’ of both communities like to perpetuate, but it doesn’t really exist on the ground.
As an aside, why do minority groups have ‘leaders’ who speak for them?
Black and brown compete for drug turf in the same cities. They also compete for working-class jobs, for government jobs, and for benefits.
