So by that being established, how are you disproving that Mexicans/Latin Americans (and even other "minority" non-black groups in America) on a <b>collective</b> may very well be racist towards black people or black looking people? What are we debating? <br /><br /><i>"Paper bag test ring bell? That, for me, is not the point.</i>"<br /><br />Of course it rings a bell, and it's not just administered intra-culturally by black people. Please revert to my last paragraph above.<br /><br /><i>'The point I am trying to make is that we have much in common.</i>"<br /><br />And of course blacks and Mexicans/Latin Americans/Asians/Middle Eastern etc. etc. and etc. have so much in common. Especially when it's convenient for them to piggy back on what so many black people in particular have fought for while paving the civil road, during what history has considered as the "Black" Civil Rights era in America. <br /><br /><i>"And let's face it we can all name individuals both African American and Puerto Rican and certainly other groups that have biases against other groups.</i>"<br /><br />(And one thing you can count on, the only time other "minority" groups try to include blacks - is when they want to state the negative or somehow insinuate how blacks also participate in reverse racism towards other groups). We can sweep this under the chicken and egg rug for all I'm concerned.<br /><br />Furthermore, I was speaking on these issues in the collective. And you were the one who brought in your "Puerto Rican" two cents, so I shared my personal experience with Puerto Rican culture. Also, by you stating your Puerto Rican (Spanish speaking) heritage puts me to wonder if you identify more with Mexicans rather than with Black people in America. Either way, it goes to show that not only is white society predominantly racist, but Latin/Hispanic culture is evidently colorist and clannish. Where does that leave black people, or black looking people in America? Especially black people who don’t even know a second language, much less Spanish to compete economically with the growing, thriving, and very colorist “Latin” community in America? <br /><br />Evita, I have nothing against you (nor Latin people). I was born as an American citizen outside the US mainland (assuming you were too). On a clear day, I can see Puerto Rico from my deck. (Many Black Americans would even discriminate against me, but I see beyond that, I understand the twisted dynamics). Like you (assuming) I too can habla fluently, you and I could have equal education, similar personality traits, work experiences. But unless I can somehow pump up a non-black heritage in my background and prove to leap buildings from a single bound, you may very well be the preferred candidate on job interviews just based on colorism. Especially if interviewed by a white or Latin CEO. This not only applies to just inside America, it applies to many places universally, due to black skin denigration. And please don’t deny that. <br /><br />All I am trying to say, is that if “black” people (especially black people who yap on this blog) want to expend their energy harping over petty racism aimed at another group, they need to fight for themselves and their own well being first and foremost. You can’t help others if you can’t even help your already endangered self. Black people can’t afford to keep lending out their "we and us" energy and resources, especially without reciprocation from others who are going to walk on their necks eventually. Black people do not owe other groups here in America anything. Black people need to apply more Quid Pro Quo tactics, or they will always be left behind. Simple.<br /><br />(I'm done with this.

There is lots off topic drama 'round here. <br /><br />My Puerto Rican Two Cents:<br /><br />As a US Citizen who has never had personal fear for or closeness with the issue of immigration of any sort, I have to say that I can empathize with not being wanted in this country despite the "equality" my blue passport affords me.<br /><br />The costume, in my opinion, is intended as a joke but unfortunately like most hack comedy, does so at the expense of a particular group of people who are targeted by many groups- particularly the conservative media, capitalists of EVERY sort, and regular people who would rather see these undocumented immigrants treated inhumanely rather than pay $7 for a head a lettuce, etc. <br /><br />Problem 1 is that many people scapegoat undocumented immigrants for all or most of the woes in the US. This is not to say that African Americans, Gays, Jews etc don't get any heat, but let's face it- illegal immigants can't sue or call the police. <br /><br />Problem 2 is that over time this branding, as someone already mentioned, is wholly focused on undocumented Mexican people. Not Cambodians, not Canadians.<br /><br />Is that costume bad, Field? Yes. I'm not an immigrant and neither were my parents, but I was raised to not pick on people based on an unfortunate circumstance. The surge in HATE CRIMES against latinos has increased FOUR fold in the last 6 years,, right along with the heat associated with the immigration debate. <br /><br />These "illegals" are HUMAN BEINGS who deserve to be treated like human beings. <br /><br />If we are going have a discussion about immigration, then let's do it in a way that doesn't relegate it dehumanization and doesn't fan the flames of hate rather than understanding.<br /><br />La Incognita- Can you empathize with campaigns by White people who historically named black people as inhuman? [Pickaninny? Sambo? Saphire?] The affects of this hatred is something Blacks STILL deal with in the workplace, in their communities, in life in general. The dumanizing assertions for Blacks (Black Face? ) started as jokes too... <br /><br />It needs to stop. This is not a joke. It's indicative of the surge of hate that will quickly get worse unless people who will not tolerate it AGAINST ANYONE says something. Let's name it. That costume was about hate.evitahttp://www.blog.evavegadiversity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-8273690620370471872009-11-02T17:29:35.981-05:002009-11-02T17:29:35.981-05:00'Women like you deprive disadvantage black wom...<i>'Women like you deprive disadvantage black women from equal opportunity with the best men of their own culture.

Black men have fought their fight, and stomped on the necks of black women to gain the "right" to bed a white woman or a pink woman in peace.<br /><br />White women are not "disadvantaging" black women, even as annoying as it can seem sometimes. Black women also need to take "advantage" of the surplus of good, loving hardworking white/non-black men who are also available to us. Especially the ones who well know a White/Asian/Latin woman has nothing over a black woman in any way. More white/non- black men and black women are in rapidly growing, loving and healthy relationships as we speak.<br /><br />So when I hear both black and white hypocrite people wash their mouth to say how it doesn't bother them to see a black man with a white woman, I wonder if they give the same support towards the opposite.La♥audiobookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113372034561824170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-61077754401488366202009-11-02T16:44:22.593-05:002009-11-02T16:44:22.593-05:00"There you go anon, blaming white women for t..."There you go anon, blaming white women for taking the GOOD black men, whatever that means.
