Why do Latinos try to tether off of Black oppression so much?

[Voice of Reason]

Read this book, Latinos were fire bombing Black houses in the 60s operating as mules for white supremacy.

I have no beef against Latinos. There's plenty of anti-Black Latinos but there's plenty of Latinos who are allies and do care. I'd have more smoke for white people than a working-class Brown person

 

[Sad Bunny]

I love Latinos.

 

[Buddy]

I'm assuming that account is ran by a Black person?
And they're scouring and sharing LATINO history?


Benefit of the doubt if they're a History major like I was, and maybe taking a course this semester, but otherwise...

Latinos faced oppression and discrimination in this country too. White supremacy has not been kind to anyone. It just looks like they're telling their story, not trying to "tether" Black oppression. You consume too much bad information on Twitter.

Did you read that book yourself or are you just suggesting it because you think, based on the title, that it supports what you are saying with this thread? It doesn't. Based on its summary, it's about the Black American and Mexican American civil rights struggles in Texas and how they faced shared challenges, which sometimes led to them aligning, even though they often pursued separate paths due to differing cultural contexts and distinct forms of discrimination.

Dumb negros like you will sell all of us out trying to cape for the people who have never assisted in our civil rights struggle.

The huelga schools were alternative schools established in Houston, Texas in the 1970s for Mexican-American students who were protesting the Houston Independent School District's (HISD) plan to integrate schools:

The HISD plan involved pairing White Mexican Americans with African American students. The Mexican-American community protested this plan and established the huelga schools to ensure that their children could continue their education.


The Huelga Schools of Houston Collection at the Houston Public Library Archives contains materials related to the schools, including correspondence, press, legal papers, and photographs

You are not FBA this is not your history. Of course you have no beef.

@Voice of Reason - A neg calling me a "tether" doesn't change that you are wrong. I'm a Black American, btw. I have also verified myself. You are an ignorant, mashed potatoes for brains having imbecile. Stop talking about subjects you're too stupid to understand.

You recommended that people read a book that coincidentally undermined the point of your own thread. That's how stupid and blind you are.

And I oppose all forms of anti-Black racism (even the kind you engage in) but that doesn't mean I am going to lie about documented history just to validate your ignorant crusade. You don't have to ignore reality to make a point.

Go verify yourself, because right now, your entire act looks like nothing but a white troll trying to mock Black people.

Your act is tired.

Generation of low IQ crack babies.

We really need some resources to clean up the hoods.

I don't even like Tariq for real l but he's not lying about your whining.

Notice how buddy is trying to derail the thread and distract from the conversation when the fact is, as stated by our elder in the video, Latinos were not working with us to pass civil rights legislation.

 

[Peter Popoff]

As far as Mexicans, Bingo!

Not gonna shıt on Puerto Ricans outside of Fat Joe and JLO for having no talent though.

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

I don't even like Tariq formal but he's whining about your whining.

You resort to ignorance and lies because you lack the ability to coherently articulate and defend your position. You are a racist idiot and you're no different from Tariq.

I would smack all those flies off of your face tether p*ssy.

You use the same racist stereotypes that white supremacists use and you use them against both Black Americans and African Immigrants. You're an all around piece of garbage. Stop pretending that you care when all you want to do is mirror racists.

You can't ignore history to claim that there were no collaborative efforts between Black and Latino activists simply because you don't like it. That assertion is historically inaccurate. LULAC and the NAACP joined forces on several crucial civil rights cases in the past. And while it's undeniable that racism was the motivation behind the HISD conflicts in Houston, and exposed a betrayal, it is still ignorant to ignore the history of past collaboration. And I am not doing that. I mean, this isn't even about giving Latinos credit over Black people for advancing civil rights; there's no question about the driving force behind it. It's about acknowledging the truth that there was a time when both communities fought side by side against oppression. And that they have faced their own discrimination and oppression in this country. People like you who are ignorant of history, but want to set yourselves up as the arbiter of history, are the most annoying.

The book you recommended people read highlighted this.
