Watch: AOC Proclaims ‘Latinos Are Black’ and I’m Dead (could get the boot tomorrow)
Red State ^ | 6/22/20 | Bonchie

I’m not a big fan of accusing people of cultural appropriation. If you want to eat a taco on Cinco de Mayo, have fun. If you like orange chicken, by all means, let’s do this thing. But there’s a difference between casual partaking of other cultures, which is one of the awesome things about America, and trying to appropriate the lived struggles of oppressed people for political and personal gain.

That’s what makes Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez so insidious. Over and over, usually through the “people of color” canard, she’s tried to equalize her upper crust, pampered upbringing with those who fought for civil rights for black Americans and have the battle scars to prove it. For more on why this is such an issue, be sure to check out the great Kira Davis’ viral op-ed entitled Kira Davis: The Term People of Color Hijacks Black America’s Hard Earned Legacy and I’m Sick of It.

Apparently, AOC didn’t get the memo because she found the shark and did a double back flip over it today.

Tom Elliott @tomselliott .@AOC: “Latinos are black … We have to have conversations around ‘colorism,’ and we have to have conversations around the African and indigenous roots from which we come and how that’s reflected in systems of power.”

ALL “Latinos” descend from Europe.

A number of Latin American countries had high numbers of African slaves. In Brazil, especially, roughly half the population today is Black or mixed/descended from Black. Columbia and Venezuela also had large numbers of African slaves. And in the Caribbean, of course.

Latinos are not black. I remember working in a law firm when a group named BALSA- Black, Asian, Latino Student Association - was active.

They later changed their name because the Asians and Latinos bailed on the organization. I think it’s now called something like Black Law Students Association. It used to be “BlackAmerican”, but they dropped the “American.”

What was sad was that we only hired from this group. We had some great black candidates, but if they just came in on the basis of their grades and work, and the committee only found out that they were black at the interview, they could forget it. They had to be connected to this pressure group. These groups have done huge harm to black people..

Google LA and genocide and tell me how blacks and Latinos love each other. Latinos want nothing to do with blacks, particularly in rural areas.

This is going to come as a shock to EVERY Latino I know.


Yeah, I think a lot of Latinos are going to disagree. Strongly.

What ever happened to the slaves shipped to Mexico and Argentina? They have just disappeared from history.

I’m one of the most mixed-up European ‘mutts’ you’ll ever find; and family anecdote seems to suggest that there was some Redskin blood in that old Virginia woodpile.

You know why they are not arrested. You may be in denial but you know.n Because form highest authority orders have went out to the enforcement agencies to protect them and not arrest them.When necessary they are to be aided and abetted, But under no circumstances are they to be arrested or hindered from doing what they do.

They [the rioters] know what they are doing and why they are doing it. Do you?

Out of all those who shed crocodile tear after crocodile tear over George Floyd who would piss in his mouth if his intestines were on fire. There is not one of those who mourned and lamented his demise who would not kill him if the opportunity presented itself.

From what I can tell, the Park Police and the MPD have blocked the ‘protestors’ from the statue. But the barbarians are trying to set up an ‘autonomous zone’ there.

Slavery is as old as mankind.
It’s in the oldest parts of the Bible.

True. I remember growing up in Northern Illinois in the 1980s

Plenty of Black vs. White riots and Black vs. Mexican riots. No White vs. Mexican riots. Amazing that...

Well if George Zimmerman could be a white Hispanic, then why not?

Where do Black Caucasians fit in? It's all very confusing....

In CA, Hispanics and Latinos fall under the category of White or Caucasian.

(Hispanic references those of Spanish lineage, while Latino refers to those from the Latin Church) The black or “negras” in Central America and Mexico, tend to either be Latino, or from Carribean or African ancestry, many generations removed from the present.

Sort of like Kamala Harris whose lineage traces back to black Jamaican slave owners.

So they aren’t “Latinos”. They’re African.

Been there many times. The differences are stark and distinct.
