why are latinos racist towards blacks now?

<quoted text> I agree there are most latino gang members than blacks is true, and they are giving us latinos a bad name. and the latinos that are afilliated with gangs are the mexicans and central and south american scumbags, we cubans don't go around shooting innocent people, is true that older cubans are racist (white and black) but the younger generations don't give a s)%%$ about race

Isn't it a shame that people try to put all hispanics in the same bag? basically they expect all of you to look and act like mexicans

screw dat we latinos don't have nothing against africans we give respect in order for other people to give respect

Something we should not take for granted.

yep!!! if you watch telemundo is all about mexicans, and F**&ing Mexico, we all hispanics are not bad people or drug dealers, we can also come to this country and work hard

everyone has prejudices. and actually, my interactions with Mexicans has been very pleasant, overall. however, i do really hope that everyone stops to take a look at history and understand that America was built by different people in different places and in different ways. so let's just stop the hataration.

Spanish/Mexicans, only bonded initally with black people because they knew they would be accepted by them becuase the blacks would bond with them against the whites.
They then moved to a different angle. They started bonding with the whites against the blacks.
Now that they have repopulated like cochroaches and are overtaking the country, they no longer need African American allies against the whites, or white Americans agaisnt the blacks.
They have established themselves, and now they are trying to overtake both races to gain America as their stomping ground.
They know that most blacks have the ability to instill fear in people just by looking at them the wrong way. Now they are trying to intimatate the blacks, and if that doesn't work kill them, to get what they want.
Which is the country. They played both races against each other, and it worked very well to their benefit because while we Americans were distracted, they were taking over the job market with no education, but becaues they are bi-lingual, they get the preference and the job, they get the men, because they are not too light and not too dark, and they get the country, becuase their men have no morals and will kill you to take what they want.

But when they learn you are hispanic they expect you to be criminally inclined, do poorly in school, and be on welfare. I'm thinking people should define themselves according to their nationality, Cuban or Colombian etc. To hell with all this panhispanic crap. It's just brings a lot of people down.

yeah that's my point, we cubans are not even hispanics, we are latinos from the caribean, that's two different things

Ok people, the truth is this. Living in NYC,and traveling through out the carribeans, peurto Rico, Domenican republic,Cuba,and other latin places. Racist start with ignorance. In the culture of the lands that be, people are not educated about knowledge of self.. Especially the Latinos,and carribean island.. Us as african amricans are fully aware of the way they think ,and how they speak. Most of us learned spanish in school and hear the ugly things they say everyday. Most of uss ignore it. Latinos need to learn to get along and love not hate. The hate is past on by there ignorant parents,and grand parents.. They simmply need knowledge of self,and they would be alright.. All i know is, it's not a good thing to be the way some of them are. We laugh at them,and boy so does the white people.. At the end of the day, they look so stupid.. White people would never except them as there own,and until they understand who they are, no one will... Ezpecially the Dominicans, Peurto Rican, and Cubans.. Not all but the the ones who heart is evil as such... You can simply find me if you have comments to my myspace page www.myspace.com/alwaysfocused I know who i am, do you? Stop the hate and appreciate life..

p.s i'm not from Derwood, MD where did that come from. I'm from NYC

Actually we dont call ourselve latin, but latinos.
We do so because our languages, romance languages (portugese, spanish and french) come from latin.
Also latin europeans are called like that because they speak languages that come from latin (portugese,french spanish, romanian, polish,etc).
And also because they mostly practice chatholic religion wich used latin in its masses until council vatican2.
Latin-american includes all portugese, spanish and french speakin countries.
while hispanic-america just spanish speakin countries.
And we know we do not not apear in the bible our identity began to conform itself with blood mixing occured in the 16 and 17 centuries and we dont consider that to be a bad thing at all (people must never be ashamed of their roots)
I hope this information is usefull for you.

latins or latinos its the same thing, and its true about hispanics.

I have, and please do not write about things you dont know.

it is you that dont know your history, it is a fact that the moors ruled for 700 years in spain and 400 in italy, which explains all of the dark italians, who werent not consider white when they came here.

ok what is being Black?!All you said of the Latino/Spanich doing this/that black are stereotypical...not all are like that nor wanna be. Why can't people of other races just be individuals and do what they do how they want to do it without being compared to this/that race. Just chill and let it be!

Ive have noticed a growing trend of mexican americans being racist towards african americans. most of the puerto ricans i know are cool with blacks,but there are some showing signs of racism. im from chicago,i couldnt beleive when there was a newscast bout a month ago about nooses being hanged in a predominately mexican neighborhood

...racist towards themselves? The term 'Latino' doesn't indicate whether a person is white, mestizo, black, or other. It's very vague.

i don't know man. Black people are ALWAYS , ALWAYS begging everyone to feel black, to be black, to please stick together with us blacks and to pleaaaaaase love us and not be racist towards us and shit. some pathetic fuck earlier in the thread who says mexicans hate themselves cuz they're actually black or some garbage like that. I'm black and mexicans aren't my brothers. I've known some cool mexicans but *in general* i don't care for their civilization or their business. Their cuisine ain't bad but that's about it . I don't care about their culture apart from a strictly academic standpopint (I can enjoy reading about them, no problem, but i keep it there). Seriously though, doesnt one notice a pattern ? Black people ar ALWAYS complaining about some group or other who are so called self hating , not sticking together with us, who are denying their so called blackness , etc. Guys can we be a little bit more *exclusive*? Can blackness be a little bit less spread around haphasardly ? Mexicans dont have much blackness to deny my friend.

I can somewhat understand being concerned about , say , black Dominicans acting like they're not black, or *some* puertoricans or some cubans. But those who are obviously non black (white cubans, mexicans, central americans in general, white puerto ricans), why the hell are we begging them to accept us ?
I mean, when black people finally get it all together , are we really going to accept white cubans, mexcrements , guatemala midgets , f*ckin southern brazilians , arabs, indian and whoever else is a so called "person of colour" as our brothers and sisters ?
One guy was talking about how latino culture was very blacl influenced. So what ? Mexico still isn't a black country. It's not even a mulatto country . They're not black.
Let's oppose mexican racism with full force and when we can we should crush those foreigners who have noting to do with us. They're fighting their own gight, let's fight ours . Mexican civilization is a 3rd rate, failed experiment and we should not be beggingf or their love or approval. Mexicans are fugly in general , so we shouldn't be paying too much attention to their women. If we can get along , FINE. If they wanna fuck with black race, we should be able to retaliate severely .

F*ck if we have to emulate or seek some kind of approvel, at least let's seek it or emulate civilized people, not 3rd world trash like mexico.

I think most people that come to this country think that hating blacks is the American way. They want to be American so bad that they jump on the bandwagon. They think it makes them white. Funny how thay dress like and listen to the same music as and act like blacks. Culture theives all over the place but they hate us. WOW!

Thanks for that, I'm on that site now...Listening to Kemo Blaxican, his music is live. It would be nice if we could get along because I have no hatred for Mexican but they really do seem to dislike us.

there's nothing new about people borrowing what they LIKE about a foreign group and rejecting violently what they don't like. Nothing new about it. So mexicans like , even LOVE rap. Not surprising : a lot of peoples around the world love it . You can't expect them to love other aspects of black culture. Just doesn't happen that way. People pick what they want and dont feel that they have to buy a package. They always have and always will. All over the black world there are many examples of european cultural aspects that black people liked and borrowed, without borrowing the whole thing.
