I'll believe it when i see it. Latinos aways try to claim that "black and Brown" shyt vocally, then vote "white and beige" behind closed doors.

I have yet to see any uproar from the Latino community over the killing of a Latino by a cop like the black community does. We had the UPS driver that was killed down here by cops during the robbery where they hijacked his truck and there was a shootout, but other than that, I don't think I've heard anything about Latinos being killed by cops. I know it does happen but it's not as discussed as black people killed by cops.

Because instead of going to the streets and making noise about it, they go on Twitter and say shyt like "how come black people don't fight for us?" or "what about us?"

Asians and the other "pocs" are guilty of this also.

The overwhelming vast majority of Hispanics (esp the nonblack ones, but even alot of the actual black ones) don't fukk with nikkas and want nothing to do with us.

We've been saying this on this board.

The one unifying thing that puts Trump Supporters together is their hate for BLM, Reparations, Affirmative Action, and anything that could possibly assist black people in America

Say word?

Since the founding of this country, Latinos, African-Americans, and all people of color have experienced harm at the hands of an unjust system.

With the death of George Floyd at the hands of those meant to protect and serve, millions have taken to the streets to protest systemic racism across the U.S.

Latinos, who are experiencing a rising burden of hate crimes, discrimination, and anti-immigrant sentiment, have joined in the Black Lives Matter cause to advocate for change — not just in African-American neighborhoods, but in all communities of color.

“It’s not just black people being murdered by police. Hispanics are dying, too,” Fernando Garcia, executive director of the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR), told El Paso news station WWLP 22. “It’s not only one bad apple. The whole system of criminalization and violence against people of color is the pattern. This system criminalizes all people of color who are poor. That is why it’s important to connect.”

Latinos Urge Latinos to Join ‘Black Lives Matter’ Movement

While this movement initially focused on the specific issue of police brutality in the Black community, it opened the door to larger conversations about the issues impacting specific groups based on the color of their skin.

Still, some Latinos who are participating in the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement feel that certain members of their community aren’t doing enough to urge for change in a system that harms all people of color.

“I just believe that right now a lot of our Latino brothers are being silent with their complacency, and not saying anything,” Marvin Pineda, a protestor in Miami, told the Miami Herald. “Just because I’m a Latino doesn’t mean I don’t stand behind black lives.”

Along with the urge to unite with other disadvantaged groups, those same protestors feel that the Latino community must also address the biases found in their community, according to Andrea Mercado, executive director of the New Florida Majority.

“[This is] not the first time that we see police brutality and there are many Latinos who die at the hands of police or border patrol. But Latinos can also be complicit in violence on black bodies and anti-blackness exists in our communities,” she told the Miami Herald. “Here in Miami-Dade many of our police officers speak Spanish and maybe Latino police officers are responsible for perpetuating violence in black communities.

“So this is an important moment for all of us to stand up in defense of black lives.”

Still, this recent round of protests has garnered more support for the “Black Lives Matter” movement than ever before, according to the Pew Research Center.

“Two-thirds of U.S. adults say they support the movement, with 38% saying they strongly support it,” the group states. “This sentiment is particularly strong among black Americans, although majorities of white (60%), Hispanic (77%) and Asian (75%) Americans express at least some support.”

Injustice Against People of Color Across the Board
While there is a cry for more support, many Latinos have also joined in protests against racism in the U.S.

Moreover, the Latino community is not a homogenized group. There is a vast diversity among this population, which even includes people of African descent.

“These nearly 60 million individuals trace their heritage to Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America and to Spain, each with distinct demographic and economic profiles,” Pew Research Center states. “But as migration patterns from Latin America change, the origins of U.S. Hispanics are beginning to shift.”

Communities of color, including Latinos, have suffered at the hands of police brutality, according to League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) leader Domingo Garcia.

In a recent statement, he shares Santos Rodriguez’s story. In July 1973, police targeted the 12-year-old and his 13-year-old brother in an investigation of vandalism to a vending machine in Dallas.

After pulling the two boys out of their home, one of the officers, Darrell Cain, allegedly used Russian roulette as an interrogation tactic in hopes of gaining a confession. The police shot Santos Rodriguez in the head in the midst of the incident.

Moreover, Latinos and Blacks face higher rates of being pulled over by police and to also have their vehicles searched.

“The pain and sheer injustice that black communities experience day in and day out cannot be ignored any longer. It must stop now,” Garcia said in his statement.

In addition to police brutality, Latinos and other communities of color experience systematic injustice. These include widespread health disparities, racial bias, and a lack of access to opportunity.

“LULAC rises to join in steadfast solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of people across our country demanding fundamental reforms to our law enforcement system,” Garcia said in his statement. “We stand as one with this movement in strong agreement that we must change how law enforcement is carried out in America.”

I live in Texas and ive seen more Latinos on that anti-blm wave than the opposite.

I can only give anecdotal evidence but in my own experience... being a trump supporter and being anti-blm, anti-social justice, pro police, etc go hand in hand

Facts. Im in queens and most latinos other than Cubans are pro-blm

Tex-mex =/= latinos for the most part.

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

Well the issue really is that the media doesn't highlighting police brutality against black and brown Latinos compared to the coverage us Black Americans receive...most of us (well me rather) don't normally hear about brutality cases towards Latinos because again the media doesn't broadcast it those cases against them are usually kept locally.

It's not our fault...we just aren't hearing about it as often if at all.

I bet. From what i've seen and heard, NY latinos act very diff than tex latinos.

We've had entire school brawls of Mexicans vs Black.
We've had entire neighborhoods fighting over Mexicans vs Black


I'm telling you, texas is different. The Mexicans down here are more MAGA than some cacs

Hispanics in the south and west are completely different socially in terms of their attitudes towards black ppl compared to the ones here on the East Coast. I've seen plenty of Latinos in support of BLM out here where I'm at currently whether it be marching, posting on social media, or wearing clothing that shows support.

 

[Rekkapryde]

How many of them tacocacs check the box for white on job/govt forms?
