Earl Ofari Hutchinson is a black activist and writer here in Los Angeles. He does have his ear to the ground in the black community here. What he's talking about is formerly black neighborhoods are becoming Latino. Like many other ethnic groups in the past, blacks are moving out of what they had come to see as their traditional neighborhoods as Latinos flood in.
Small businesses are now mostly Latino operated, and jobs in once black neighborhoods are now going to Latinos. Schools that were once nearly all black, or black and whites in the lower economic strata, are now mostly Latino.
Black politicians like Maxine Waters, who had represented central and south central L.A., find themselves almost strangers in increasingly Latino districts. Our Marxist legislature gerrymandered a larger district for Maxine, bringing the district lines much further south and west to follow the movement of blacks out of central and south central L.A. It's likely to be only a temporary reprieve as inner city L.A. becomes all Latino.
Tensions between black and Latino highschool and middle school students often runs high and turns violent every once in awhile.
Latino gangs are pushing on black gangs.
In the not too distant future, with the exception of a few enclaves, the population of the City of Los Angeles will be almost all Latino.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are finally getting the message. Entry-level jobs are becoming less available to blacks and to lower class whites.
this one was a no brainer
if the hood thought Laotians and Koreans were "takin over"
I will respectfully disagree with your first comment, as I was talking about the Latino branch of the racial grievance industry. The Americans of Cuban ancestry I know despise the people who claim to be victims because they are Hispanic.
Mrs. Reb will support you on the second point. Her mother's parents were both Cuban, although they moved to Puerto Rico before my mother in law was born.
So, where is the black community leaders, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and all those other attention whores...
I didn't say we didn't "despise" them.
One can be a bit "tribal" and still get along with others.
Racial tensions between white and black Cubans were never as bad as they were here
(And let my qualify my statements by saing the LEAST racist people on earth are white westerners)
I am sorry, amigo, I was not very clear in my post. Let me try this again: The Americans of Cuban ancestry I know are proud to be who they are and have no respect for other Hispanics (regardless of skin tone) who claim "victim" status because of being Hispanic. I was responding to another post regarding relationships between different Hispanic groups in the US. I can not comment on race relations in Cuba, I have no knowledge there.
Hispanic leader: New Orleans will rise from the ashes and it will be milk chocolate, not chocolate.
How would a black respond to that idiotic statement? Now they know how we felt when Mayor Nagin opened his mouth and made a fool of himself.
LOL!
Oh, sure they will. The story will be that "rich white businessmen" and their Republican allies deliberately let all the illegals in to take over the "black jobs", because the whites are so racist that they decided even illegals are more trustworthy than blacks.
