Are blacks and Hispanics really natural allies?

[renard_ruse]

I don't think they are natural allies. The current political coalition doesn't mean they are natural allies.

In the prisons, the Mexican Mafia are allies with Aryan Nations.

Some of the most racist comments I've heard about blacks have been from Hispanics.

I agree they aren't. But what's your point?

The point is that they are unreliable political allies.

The Republican Party is devoted to advancing the economic interests of the richest ten percent of the population. In an economy where the average standard of living is declining, this could be a problem. Nevertheless, the Republican Party dominates the country. The GOP owes its strength to the fact that it is nearly all white.

No, I don't see how that tracks. You can satisfy them separately and there's no reason why they can't be reliable separately. I still don't see a point.

What I see is that both the black and Hispanic populations are going to become increasingly powerful in the States (maybe the Asian as well) as the white majority increasingly gets reduced. The blacks and Hispanics have some of the same basic issues (the Asians not so much). They don't have to get along with each other for these same basic issues to be addressed, satisfied, and manipulated.

Your claimed point sounds more like "running scared" wishful thinking to me.

75% of America is anglo white, and most Hispanics are white.

Blacks aren't allies of anyone, including themselves. As in Spain and other places, they are slowly absorbed into the society they reside in America they are black, white men.

most Hispanics are white.

This is true and doesn't seem to be understood by a lot of folks.

No they are not.

Exactly like the Democrats, they are devoted to advancing the economic interest of those financing their campaigns.

All the philosophical bullshitting and talking points are just that....bullshit.

(D) fights for industries A, B and C

(R) fights for industries X, Y and Z

It's really just that simple.

Of course we are. Look at history, coloreds always get used. White never does. Means we are frenemies!

Actually I think its the Aryan Brotherhood not Aryan Nations. Sorry for the confusion. The point is the same though.

The Blacks better hope to ally with the Hispanics, they are out numbered by them. They don't have to like each other to get a better deal from either party.

I don't see that happening. But, as I noted earlier, I can see white politicians (as I think they are doing now) trying to combine the issues of blacks and Hispanics in their platforms and then pitch each group separately. And I do think there are combined issues that they can do this with.

GOP is nearly all white. Right.

Dems are running candidates who could've starred in the movie Cocoon. Old, white fossils.

GOP controls the majority of state legislatures. Majority of governorships. . Both houses of congess. And it's the party of all white people.....

America is 75% white. We gotta be somewhere.
