Many Latino activists have sought to rally support for Black Lives Matter by emphasizing systemic inequities faced by both Latino and Black communities and recognizing anti-Black attitudes within Latino culture.

The desegregation of neighborhoods, Guerra said, has also tied the future of both groups together.“When you say, let’s invest in black neighborhoods, there is no such thing anymore,” he said. “Yes, segregation exists, but if you invest in Compton, that’s a Latino city. A great infusion in economic development in what are traditional Black neighborhoods will benefit Latinos as well.

Some Latino activists who supported Black Lives Matter say they’re motivated by the racism in their own culture. They recall relatives who praised light-skinned babies over darker-skinned ones and phrases like “,” a popular saying that implies one should “improve the race” by having lighter-skinned children.

Navarro has sought to explain to Latino acquaintances that the Latino community also faces police brutality, so that they can see that “this is our struggle too.” Biracial Black Lives Matter members also have used their identity to help their cause resonate with Latinos. La Mikia Castillo, an activist who does antibias consulting, has grandparents who immigrated from Panama; she identifies as Afro-Latina.

Whites & Blacks always reach for us. Hell No! We have boast ourselves and then watch them do things for us to side with them. Our own graffiti on the street, I prefer 'VIDA MEXICANA- AMERICA'

In the West Virginia coal mine company towns they segregated the housing by language so the miners wouldn't find a common language and compare notes. Compare notes.

I dated latinas and have several friends and let me tel ya: they have crazy racist families. They don’t like dark skin and prefer white people

Report: Black, Latino youths still getting arrested at disproportionate rates in NYCBlack and Latino youths are still being arrested at disproportionately higher rates than their white and Asian counterparts, a new analysis shows, as the debate over uneven policing rages in New York City I should start committing more crimes, for equalities sake. 👍 now check crimes committed by each race....... I don't think the police have enough to do at work so they focus on weaker groups of citizens just to keep busy. Put cops back on traffic control at intersections and walking a beat of 10 blocks. That will keep them busy enough to leave others alone.
