Professor says Latinos can ‘achieve whiteness’ and become racist
American Thinker ^ | Eric Utter

Posted on 10/21/2022 3:11:25 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

According to the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez, a Latina Democrat, recently referred to a councilman’s Black son as a “monkey”-- and also said in reference to liberal Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon, “he’s with the Blacks.”

This prompted MSNBC host Tiffany Cross to ask Fordham University law professor Tanya Hernández if making racist comments made a Latino white or just a racist racial minority. Hernández, a self-proclaimed “race law expert” with an interest in Critical Race Theory, replied:

“Well, I actually think that there is another layer to this. Some people within the Latino community do achieve whiteness, one, because they are white appearing, they favor more our European ancestors, and depending on their accent, their educational level, whether they actually have a recognizable Hispanic surname, that all those things that enable a person to, I wouldn’t call it passing, but seemingly—just-- and seamlessly being able to pass into whiteness, or white Anglo-whiteness, just as they have whiteness within Latin America and the Caribbean. Um, so, I guess what I want to say is that despite this idea of all Latinos being brown, you know, some browns are browner than others and some whites are whiter than others. There are Latinos who are white, whether they have that personal identity or not, that’s their socially ascribed race from others outside, and they get to move in that privilege as well.”

Latinos are incapable of exhibiting racist behavior unless and until they “achieve” whiteness? Say what?! Hernández sounded like a cross between Kamala Harris and a laundry detergent commercial. Some browns are browner than other browns and some whites are whiter than white?!

This is all coming from universities teaching ‘white = evil.’ There was a story this week that Chinese can be white = evil, racists. There was a story even after white people are gone we will still have white racism from lighter skinned blacks.

This is teaching people to regard “white” folks as “the other.” It’s a stage in the path to genocide. See the post I put above about it.

Like the Jews did in the 1920s, we dismiss it as crazy talk and assume the public will come to their senses and all of this demagoguery will just go away. It doesn’t. It takes hold and leads to mass destruction.

Even Mao realized that communism was basically a means to keep his totalitarian regime in place. It was a facade and nothing more.

His goal, putatively, was to use the belief system of communism as a replacement for the various religions in China.

If a latino is killed by a white person, they are identified as an oppressed person of color.

If a latino kills a black person, the media immediately promotes them to white status.

A lot of “Black” people can achieve “whiteness” as well. Nearly ALL negroes in America have some layer of white in their blood. I have darker skin tones than Calypso Louie Farrakhan (who claims to speak for the entire black race).

The liberal left wing zealots on MSNBC and CNN consider everything in the world about race. In the same way that homosexuals consider their only reason for living is about sexual gratification. They are projecting and putting blame for their own problems on the white bogey man.

Remember what it says on those stupid forms “Hispanics and be of ANY race” - Latin America is multiracial and includes people of pure Euro ancestry as well.

Why Americans believe in a “Hispanic race” is beyond me smh.

1) Hispanics can be “Caucasian” “negroid” “mongoloid” etc and often a mixture of all three

2) Will Smith has always sucked

“I love a good boxing match, but punching isn’t the way to win a debate.”

WW2 would disagree with you.

You cannot reason with the irrational. They are operating on a flawed internal logic in which they can never be wrong. That is why we cannot rely solely upon a conscience but must have an external source for morality and ethics. The only answer when confronted with such people is force.

A point will be reached, and is very near, when we will be beyond any form of discussion.

I’ve lived in Venezuela and Panama. The locals always said that they were all Latino and didn’t care about skin color, so it was curious that all of the high government positions were taken by the lighter skinned Latinos…

They may kill me for being white but I sure as heck ain’t going peacefully. I don’t think whites will just go along peacefully like the Jews did in Germany. Maybe a lot of whites will but I don’t think a majority will. You know...I am just sick to my stomach just discussing this on a forum because it tells us what state our country is in. Dang disgusting.

You argued with my point viz. "punching isn't the way to win a debate"--which is true BTW--by saying that WWII proves it (my point) wrong.

But then you concluded with: "A point will be reached, and is very near, when we will be beyond any form of discussion."

If we haven't reach the point which is beyond discussion, we are still in a debate...and debates cannot be won by punching.

I agree with you that after all negotiations fail, war (i.e., punching) is the next step.

The democrats greatest fear is being realized in that Latinos who came here to embrace "The American Dream" have been integrated happily into American culture and embraced as family.

Now our grown, adult children, tanned with dark hair morenos, are off to their careers and have voted for President Trump in two elections.

A few generations back, their kin was still tribal, segregated by Spanish colonial policies and consigned to a life of abysmal poverty.

Now they are shining examples of what can be achieved via "The American Dream".

So the democrats have decided that this is "Definitive Whiteness".

So be it. Welcome my brothers and sisters, we don't care who you are, the MAGA Family embraces you...

"My beautiful wife, giving no f*cks over lefttard tears..."

As a follow-on, we may be in a debate with people who are irrational, but they are not the judges of the debate.

It's the undecided people of America (the independents) who are judging the debate, not those with whom we are debating.

The great majority of the people in the U.S. are still only superficially aware of the issues in this debate.
