I wonder if the Latino voters are finally appreciating what the Black folks have been telling them for years: It’s the racism. It’s the genetics. The GOP never did give a fuck about “legality.” They want to eliminate black and brown people because we aren’t white. That’s it. That’s all.
Sadly I think you are 100% correct. Where the F are the white politicians standing up and doing the right thing?
It's so obvious. Every election year they portray Hispanics as "invaders" while simultaneously courting their vote with empty platitudes. Their claims of being the fiscally responsible party are also belied by their actions. How they get more than 0% from Hispanics & Blacks is mind-boggling.
And it doesn’t matter if you come from Cuba or Puerto Rico or Guatemala or wherever. They just see the brown skin.
It's curious to me that in the US, it was the Republicans who banned slavery. More recently, the 1960s, there was the Dixiecrats. A lot easier in the UK where it was the Whigs, forerunner of the Liberals that abolished the slave trade, then slavery.
And it doesn’t matter if you think you can pass.
Gad, in that world, the only viable sports are Nascar and bowling. If folks don't care about their neighbors, their children, their friends. . . at least care about the shit you watch whilst shoveling deep fried mayonnaise balls and Budlite down your pasty gullets.
They claimed they fled to American because of dictatorships. They lie! They support and vote for them every election. They are so desperate to be considered white. The GOP uses them because of their desperation. The GOP hate them, too.
Some may get it finally, and we will know at the mid terms and thereafter, but people are not mostly rational, and white adjacency means a lot to many.
I know you want to believe that and your poor choice of media sources are probably telling you that too. But in the real world, its not a thing. #selfawareness
#USA, IN 250YRS, HAS NEVER STOOD ON THE SIDE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!! ZERO COMPASSION!! ZERO COURAGE!! WHEN THE REST OF US SEE 100MIL OF U ON WHITEHOUSE LAWN THEN WE CAN BELIEVE. UNTIL THEN, YOU'RE STILL COWARDS stop tooting your horns. You haven't done shit yet. U haven't bled like the rest of us bled.
And some black folks still support the man and party your talking about. When a person or party shows you they’re racist, why do they still vote against their own interests. I knew he was a racist 50 yrs ago. Thats why i didn’t vote for the scum … and I’m white
You can take that to the bank! It’s true.
Meanwhile Big Corporations are bringing in highly educated HB-1 Visa workers to keep wages down for American workers. MAGA are so stupid they blame the least threatening immigrant workers.
Latinos for trump would be smilin for massa.
But that really horrific thing is that even today after everything that has happened to the Hispanic/Latino community, there are still a lot of Hispanic/Latino people that are still supporting Trump!!! This is fucked up. They're supporting a racist buffoon orange bastard.
The church is a guiding principal for these hispanic folks. Some break free many do not. The immigrant communities from SA are some of the most devout people you will meet. Easily manipulated by church rhetoric. Also nearly all Spanish media is owned by the same folks that own our media.
They don’t seem to be where I am in South Texas. There was a recent fb post about a child who had their mother taken away from him on the street by ICE and most of the mocking comments came from people with Hispanic last names.
Yes, republicans think that way, which is why I say “vote out all republicans “. Also, I’m white and feel so embarrassed!!! Keep protesting America, we are better than this!
AGREE............. ALREADY KNEW THAT!!!
I don’t think they’ll learn anything, see Texas and Florida. JMO
Break them away from the church and the lying repub politicians like Cruz Rubio and Luna. They vote lock step with the church leaders and folks whose names sound familiar. "Vote for Jeff Johnson the Name You Know".
No they are not. I believe many of the Latinos who voted for Trump thought he would appreciate their support and his heavy-handed policies would be centered on the "illegals" and perhaps Black people. Basically, they got the Vivek treatment. 😂
That!
Miami will never abandon their right wing tendencies. Castro took their grandma's plantation and slaves so now they're far right forever.
How many times did you hear people say they need to come here LEGALLY as they say it stretched out. Only to be cheering the ones who are being picked up from the courts. Criminals don't show up to court voluntarily. Criminals don't work hard, labor jobs. For little pay.
I hope they learn before its too late.
Some of us do realize that white is not an accomplishment, but as long as racism is useful to despots, people will be divided into bigots, victims and charlatans.
it really sucks that they didn't listen. the man is & has been a proven racist & compulsive liar. they should've known better. not just latino's but everyone.
The Dems are only a bit more innocent in the racial regard.
Go ahead and elaborate. It seems black and white the past decade
The only black and brown people they tolerate are the ones they can make money off of, or the ones who recruit other black and brown people to make or protect their wealth and status!
Latin is a white European language that claims Black Dominicans have more in common with white spaniards than Black Americans 🤎
Amen!
I dont think Latinos appreciate what Blacks have been saying because they have until now been made to feel special. The wedge is intentional. As long as we disagree with each other the system wins. It wasn’t like that in the 60/70’s. Blacks/Latinos worked together. Until the divide was engineered
Part of it is that many (by no means all) African-Americans feel a 'Black person in America' identity, but many Latinos don't feel a 'Brown person in America' identity; they're Salvadorians and Cubans and... When Trump says "deport the Mexicans", they're like "Obviously not me, f**k those guys"
The reality is, if one is brown with an accent they are targeted. No matter they are; Haitian,Dominican,Salvadorian, Cuban,Jamaican, or any other island or South American native. Mexican is used generically. If they have fair skin and straight hair they are more readily accepted.Wake the fuk up. IJS
Colonizers have always pitted one group against the other by skin shade. Its in bread and used as a tool of control. If you look like the group in control you are accepted and assimilated.Thus the disdain. Spanish languageTV just like American announcers are fair or mostly white. Blacks are bad
I hope so. I hear some are regretting their votes...I hope they vote next year for Democracy.
DNC would do the same over a more protracted period with more decorum.
😂
Don’t forget one other thing they have language that alone gives them footing that no one can takeaway it’s like when I was younger the mantra was get a education because once you get it it’s yours and can never be taken away to me that’s the same thing power in self ownership and it’s a superpower
Not enough of them are.
Spot on. I wish that we could put this message on huge billboards in every predominately Latino community. No one says it better than Spike Lee: WAKE UP!!!
Dear “White” Latinos and “Model minorities”: they tell you you are better than us and you believe it and hate us. I guess they showed your brown asses didn’t they? #wetriedtotellya
Would love to post a bunch of msm articles showing you aren't correct BUT ... It amazes me, how obvious their RACISM is, that some POC don't see it. Latinos for tRump and Blacks that vote Republican ARE VOTING AGAINST THEIR OWN BEST INTERESTS, and SEEM OKAY WITH IT .... 😳🤯
Well it's about time ya'all figure this out !! It's only existence or non-existence !! Go figure !!
Latino voters don't want illegal Latinos in America because it ruins the legal Latinos reputation and I know this for a fact
Are we just pretending that Kamala didn’t lose black voters to Trump?
True that!
Really, it seems to me that the powers that want this under class simply want slavery back
I dunno, black men didn’t seem to follow that thinking this time around….they seemed to be more afraid to give power to a woman.
No ma’am the majority voted for Kamala
I hope that’s true, not what I remember the pundits reporting at the time.
Yup final results were around 80% Black men voted for Kamala. Not as high as Black women but still an overwhelming majority.
Thanks for sharing!
HIGHLY doubtful. The hubris of the ones in SoFL would have them choose against their own best interest and alignment than anything that makes actual sense
A couple decades ago, I would have doubted the veracity of this post. Now, a person would have to be a fool if they can't see the truth of it! During COVID, MAGA and Trump went to great efforts to turn the people against Asians. Of course we remember the Muslim ban! Now Latinos are attacked ...
Hard lesson to learn .
It depends if they watch Fox or listen to NPR and PBS
The answer is emphatically no, there's almost no regret among Latino Trumpers yet. Trump's approval is 47%, very close to the 49% he got in Nov.
Oh wow. Nothing to see here then.
I doubt this has had any affect on changing minds. It's amazing how deeply rooted Stockholm Syndrome stews in the minds of those wishing to be adjacent to a particular group of people.
PERIOD. PERIOD. 👆🏿PERIOD. But too many Latinos and other immigrants have used anti-Blackness as a tool of assimilation.
The GOP plan is not a well-thought-out plan. Who would take care of them? Who would keep them alive? There is no proof that they can survive on their own. Black, brown, and people of color have done all the work.
Absofreakinlutely!!!!
In case you don’t know, latino is not ethnicity and black folks are part of latino community. So yeah keep attacking latinos, treating them like inferior humans, you learned well from white racists how to create apartheid. You hurt your own community, but since it’s latino so it’s trash for you huh?
Preaching to the WRONG person. About the WRONG lesson.
You don’t like to get mixed with latinos and it’s pretty clear. But stop using black community to weaponize and segregate latinos with your “I told you so”, black community IS part of latino community as well. Have some respect for latinos, we are not trash, we are people as well. Be less racist
Wrong? Elaborate You generalize latinos as brown people but latinos are black, brown, white, because it’s NOT ethnicity. So when you use black community against latino communities, you are putting black against black. Brazil has biggest pop of black people outside Africa and they are LATINOS!
Putting the blame on latinos and not on 36% of US POPULATION not voting is fcking absurd. Why this constant attack against latinos? This is such white KKK racist playbook. You clearly don’t know enough latinos to be talking such nonsense. Blaming victims is narcissistic, disgusting. Do better.
Keep doing this, segregating minority groups and giving ammunition to white supremacists, because this is exactly what you are doing with your racist xenophobic behavior against the latino community also made by black people. Latinos are white, black, brown and more, but you don’t know that right?!
All. Of. This.
Bostonian here. We’ve been fighting the scourge of racism for centuries. We know stuff about racism and fascism. Let’s get together and decide what WE are going to do to eradicate it from our world.
👍👍✌️
Even TOM WOLFE of all people called this (in 2012, in his last, terrible, pretty racist book)
Pam if that was the case why do they vote for them? This is why Dems lost election. I am brown and used to be Dem but all they want is to screw us all over. Open your eyes
Your wrong too
There was time when "white" in the USA didn't apply to some folks we view as white today - e.g. Italian, Irish, even Iranians This changed as immigrants from those groups co-signed white supremacy and stood politically against Black ppl. Maybe some Latinos want that for themselves, too?
It’s so pathetic! America has been working toward integration for so long and they are trying to upend it in months, with outrageous violence… just shocking!
I don't see your point. Give me facts instead of accusations.
Fk them, they have been doing kkk gop work for decades.
💯
Public announcement: If you see any blacks for trump anywhere…tell them to come find me…I have a few questions.
Driving wedges happens with all types. No one has always done the right thing. No one. Love is powerful when practiced. Hate an easy path.
sure but in this country the issue is white supremacy
What the democrats always promised everything but never deliver
Pretty hollow remarks when polling in favor of deportation is currently highest among black and latinos over whites
I feel sorry for the Latinos and Hispanics for Trump on x who thought their support for him would allow them to be honorary whites. I posted to them MANY times to wake up but to no avail. Now it’s a truly horrid FO time for them and I’m really sorry for that.
a chunk of the Latino community see themselves as white, so it will take them quite a while to accept this
Latinos for Trump are certainly quiet lately.
Nah, they're on TikTok talking shiggity about us. They want us to protest in the streets with them. Suddenly they want unity. We protested on November 5th with our vote. They haven't learned their lesson yet. Give them more time.
LEGAL Latinos overwhelmingly support deporting those who are cheating and suppressing wages. Its insane the left is protesting for a slave class to be retained in America.
I’ve always known that for the GOP there’s no distinction other than us (who they choose to accept as white) and them (everyone else, inferior to us).
Yep
I’ve known this all along, it’s the less brown ones who think their melanin deficiency will get them in the club . Now that they’re getting rounded up like the rest of us , realize they were never in the club. I despise them as we told them the inconvenient truth and they didn’t listen.
100% correct, the MAGAt movement wants to Make America White Again, at any cost.
I agree with you Pam ..
That is one group that absolutely does not want to hear that message and nor will they ever admit it to themselves.
Republicans Want a White Republic. They’ll Destroy America to Get It time.com/5628283/trum...
Whites are afraid of becoming a minority. They feel that if that happens they will suffer the same treatment they meted out. Whites are projected to be the minority in the not to distant future. Hence the ban abortion obsession. Try as they might to fight it, minority status is inevitable.
Old white woman here. I don't care if I'm a minority...if everyone has a voice at the table. I'm all for diversity & inclusion. Skin color is only that...it has nothing to do with ethics, morals, or integrity...it definitely doesn't have anything to do with value. I want a country welcoming of all.
I can't get my head around why and how that isn't obvious to everyone.

I’m really curious to see what will happen with professional sports teams.
Nothing. They are owned by billionaires who are exempt from antitrust laws. Rules don’t apply to them.
I guess they’re too rich to feel the need to be patriots.
This country is lead by the minority (billionaires). They will make sure their players and their families don’t get hit by ICE. Now their lowly stadium workers, or team managers that work in the background, they might not be safe.
No words …
yup… it’s that simple..,
🎯
It's very benevolent of you to tell the benighted Latinos your insights. You should also share them with Tim Scott, Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, Herschel Walker, Byron Donalds, Mia Love, Herman Cain, John James, Wesley Hunt, Burgess Owens. Oh, look, I've run out of room before I finished.
You not saying anything with this. Same philosophy applies to those fools too 🤷🏾♀️
All that typing and you missed the 92% You missed the 85% Black folks know who the coons are. They aren’t there to persuade us. They are there to assuage and give cover to white people. Did you notice that NONE of those people have ever represented majority Black districts? EVER!
Did you notice they're black and have a higher public profile than you? If you're moved to lecture someone, do so to those in your own community. No one else cares what you think of their own lived experience.
yet here you are . . . in her comments . . .
They're the ones who thought that the 2/3 living paycheck to paycheck were interested in starting a business and buying a house? They're the ones who thought that minorities were on their own unless they grew powerful enough on their own? BTW, what does what you wrote have to do with the thread?
What's not clear?
honestly have no idea what you are even trying to say
Their profile doesn't make their vote count more than once. Face it dude, the vast majority of black people are the only group who got Nov 5 right.
Have your literacy tutor go over my post with you, and you'll find that what I said was that no one has standing to lecture Latinos about what they understand, and if someone absurdly believes that being black gives them such standing, that person would do better lecturing her own community.
Exactly. Republicans haven't cared about minorities since Eisenhower and Nixon actively courted the KKK. The Republicans have always hated immigrants but Nixon added racism in with his Southern Strategy and helped pave the way for its development into the political arm of domestic terrorism.
It's the freaking cruelty!
Absolutely right. It’s Hitler’s Aryanism all over again. If Trump gets Its way, It would literally commit genocide on all non-pink skinned people. He’d have literal concentration camps with mass executions.
Seriously after decades of your liberal plantation mentality in blue cities. Black and brown people woke up.
I doubt it… white adjacency is baked into the culture.. you’re supposed to be trying to “improve the race” (aka lighten the skin of each generation) and you’re taught that ish from birth. My father was considered a RADICAL Puerto Rican for embracing & actively pursuing his blackness/African roots
Yep. Lots of Latinos think they’re exempt, specially the white Cubanos and the European Mexicans. Lots of racism within Latino culture. Maybe now they’ll wake up.
They were white enough when "the other" that 'bigoted white people' hated was Haitians They were white enough when "the other" that 'bigoted white people' hated was Arabs They ARE NOT white enough anymore.. The 'bigoted whites'... are at the door!!! Welcome to Amerikkka
36.2 million Latinos were eligible to vote in the 2024, which represents 14.7% of all eligible voters. The Latino voter turnout was 50.6%, a decline from 2020 70% Cubans in Fla voted for this, 54% Nationally Latino Men overall voted 52% red Women voted 45% Red in 24' They voted 32% Red in 20'🤷🏾♂️🤯👇🏾
#Latinos are too busy tryna do what the #Irish, #Italians and other #immigrants ALL did at the expense of #ADOE…( African descendants of the ENSLAVED) “ascend,” to #WHITENESS
#ThisIsWhiteNationalism
You're right. And it doesn't stop there. LGBTQ, Asian, disabled, people with mental illness, and non-Christian. When they get done with that, they will focus on denominations. Sorry Mormons, but you will not be happy.
Nope. That adjacency to whiteness is a hell of a drug.
Truth
Bingo.
I’m Latino, I don’t get to vote for a US president (we did have a mock election where Kamala won), and we’re well aware of racism and xenophobia since Day One. That’s why I am a Puerto Rican nationalist. Your elections don’t make any difference; with either party, we’re equally effed.
You are correct they're trying to deport their way to a more beige America all while gutting health education Medicare Medicaid and social security.
Everything in the US is poisoned by racism.
We was told over and over but hard head makes a ......
Charmin soft culo
I was 'unfriended' on social media in 2016 by a number of Latino friends, family and colleagues who thought I was being alarmist and hyperbolic prognosticating exactly what's happening now. I warned them 9 years ago. Wonder what they think now. Hmmm.
They raped natives from here to Timbuktu and now these white demons are upset that the white race is shrinking.
Spot on. This is what they do at. all. times.
The ones I talk to see the racism of the left, fighting for them only to be kept here to pick crops and do menial jobs for low pay. They say you have made them the slaves of this generation
Don’t think they say that when their kids do better than them and have more opportunities
That's retarded.
