First black leaders tell their own people that white people keep colored folks down. Then latinos (legal and illegal) show up and are willing to take any job that blacks considered demeaning. Well those demeaning jobs provided the latinos an economical foundation to establish themselves in LA. They are now starting to buy up the beatup homes and fixing them up, establish community businesses and services, and becoming a new powerful voting bloc in local elections. While the blacks sit home and blame the world, latinos are slowly taking over their world. Now the blacks resent the latinos, and when ask how that is possible if whites control this country and keep people of color down, the blacks have a new dogma. Latinos succeed because whites will tolerate brown skin people but abhor black skin people. Blacks are starting to view latinos as a tool of white America. In another twenty years it will be interesting to see how the black/latino conflict evolves. I predict it will get worst and violent. You think immigration reformist were too harsh on latinos, wait till you hear what will be said by black leaders. The KKK will be suing black leaders for plagarism.
First of all, Fee, your profile doesn't indicate the state you reside in. Is all your "information" first hand? Mine is and my observations differ from yours.
In Los Angeles, I have seen Mexican and central American immigrants come into nice urban neighborhoods and turn them into trashy ghettoes, such as Echo Park, McArthur Park, mid-Wilshire and Exposition Park, to name a few. That's quite a contrast with your imaginary picture of latinos fixing up 'beat up' homes.
I have, for many decades, observed well kept black residential neighborhoods, not just Baldwin Hills but the humble homes in the Florence-Graham area. I also observe legions of black folks holding down respectable jobs day in and day out. So sorry, your tired cliche of 'blacks sitting home and blaming the world' doesn't play. The black folks dislike the latinos for the same reason that I and many other residents of L.A. do; they are trashing our culture and downgrading our economy.
Your one correct statement is that latinos are taking over. It is not just because they take 'demeaning' jobs, but they take over workplaces. They also create jobs that didn't exist, such as illegal street vending which is trashing our area. They undercut the good Japanese gardeners we used to have and do inferior work. They undercut the trained child care workers, wheel the babies to the nearest park where they jabber with each other in Spanish while letting the kids cry and go hungry. They have the 'poor little thing' act down pat, so the nice white lady will give them clothes, shoes and God knows what else.
They are also willing to take all the handouts available, from food banks, from churches, from hospitals, from schools, from unions, from employers and yet they demand more.
I could go on and on. But, basically, they are more of a liability than an asset with their parasitic subculture stealing our country from us before our eyes.
