Hispanics fuel US white population growth

Come on, it's not that bad in the USA. If you're that accomplished and Black, you have a very tight, small and exclusive circle of friends and professional colleagues who not only respect you, but probably revere the
ground you walk on.

You're not dealing with the littles on the daily when you achieve that kind of academic and professional success.

Things are still challenging, but we have to be careful of permanently ingraining a defeatist mindset as Black folk.
Don't worry about being loved. All I care about is respect.

 

Better get used to living in squalor in an America with no middle-class.:smt039

 

This would be like telling black Americans that are light skin their not really black b/c they do not look like West Africans.

And your wrong about the college loan thing. Getting a Hispanic scholarship has nothing to do with what race you are. You can fill in black, native, white, whatever on race as long as you put Hispanic for your ethnic group your good. Just the same someone filling out for a black one could list black and some other race and still get a scholar ship for being black.

 

Have you seen the animal looking pictures they use to draw to emulate Irish people? It's a bit more than relgion. Ethnic racism has long been in existence. Celtic people were considered savages.

 

Reading though all these replies and I think it's important to note that there is a bit of wp who have Hispanic grandparents or great or great great. A bit of Hispanics married whites and they continued to marry whites so you will find now that people who look white (although they could have looked white when their ancestors first came too) but carry a Spanish last name. My x husband was a white man with Spanish ancestry. I had a friend in school same thing. These people assimilated into American culture and even refused to teach their descendants their language and culture. These people see themselves as white, live as white, and are seen as white.

 

Good post.

 

Ummm....spanish is white...and Spain is in Europe

 

Finally a group of Mexican people of native extraction is making sense and embracing their true indentity.

Eventhough i don't agree with the obvious ethnocentrism, it is interesting nonetheless.

Native american alliance with illegal immigrants

 

Yes I know this but when we define Hispanic it also includes those of Native American and African decent aswell white Spanish.

 

Fuck all that shit you posted.:toimonster:

Mexicans don't care about Indians until they cross the border.

"Indio" is fighting words to those hypocrite mofos..


As for them taking back what was once theres..

They are swarming into states that were never part of messico.

Those fools are being USED to destroy the very middle-class that is footing the bill for their sorry asses.

 

I think you've got it. In the article's example, it cites primarily areas with heavily settled populations of often relatively wealthier Latinos who tend to identify more closely with a white identity, regardless of how prevalent their European ancestry is. Many Cubans in Southeast Florida identify as white, even when African/Indigenous ancestry is visibly dominant/expressed. And even Spaniards in Spain have black and Arab ancestry in many parts of the country. The strength of a 'Latino' identity is largely based around the degree of integration of a given individual. If there is a strong community and ethnic identity, that notion of self remains. In areas divided along black/white lines, people figure out how to navigate that minefield. In parts of the midwest where Latino race conceptions are anathema or at least a new concept, visibly white Latinos could be accepted as 'white' and non-white Latinos were grouped with the black community or as 'other'.

But Kunoichi's article highlights what I think is the central faultline within the Latino community: class. The waves of mass immigration of Latinos now occurring are comprised primarily of indigenous, black and racially mixed Latinos. Why? Latin America's grossly unequal distribution of wealth means that primarily wealthy individuals (largely those we would consider as visibly white) remain in their countries in dominant positions and the rural and urban poor (largely black/indigenous/mixed) migrate. Earlier Latino populations included wealthy white Cuban exiles and multi-generational landowning families in the U.S. Southwest whose roots go back to the time when that part of the country was Mexico. Their wealth and relative distance from the working class racially mixed parts of their ethnic groups fosters a perception of themselves as 'white', whether or not their racial makeup actually affirms that self-concept.

 

Has anyone seen Henry Louis Gates' Black In Latin America? It is very interesting on the issue of the African disapora in that region.

 

So to sum this thread up. Everyone either hates being black or hates black people. Wonder if that will ever change.
I think we'll have to do away with the whole concept of race in order for that to happen.

 

When people keep using incorrect terms like "biracial"...


By the way, I don't like that term.

 

Brianincali & ReginaStar...these hispanics/latinos/spanish/indian/indigenous people never mention this truth I wrote about in post #41 http://www.whitewomenblackmen.com/forum/showthread.php?p=586839#post586839

 

Great post man...

 

BINGO!!

 

I definitely overstand your point of view....afterall I live in Los Angeles.

 

Do you think the profanity was necessary to prove your point? I presently live in Los Angeles as well, indeed there is ongoing issues between the Mexican community and AA community, however like you i don't paint everyone in one brush, but i deal with people individually. For example, It like some Nigerians, and Ethiopians and other immigrants say that AA community but Americans in general for being lazy, however both me and you know that is a load of BS, and further from the truth!

Also, i been to Mexico city as well, and you still do have a large indigeous community in Mexico and they celebrated their ancient culture in different ways. Therefore, i am not against them for reinserting their ethnic identity, because it is theirs.
