Why would Latinos vote for a breh if there's a Latino candidate going against the breh?
If it was Obama vs. Bob Gonzalez....every black person is voting for Obama. Not sure why we'd expect that Latinos to go a different route. They view themselves as white or some variation of white. Any non-WASP is gonna be super insecure about their place on the colorism totem pole.

They're not. Clearly uve never been there. Besides there are a lot of ricans and brown cubans there too who will only vote for other latinos. Besides we cant be hypocrites on this, it clearly says that black voters voted for the black candidate.
They ain't voting for a full blown cac either. It's always some Cuban guy. Cubans run this fukking place.
Miami is 65% Hispanic and like 15% black, of course it's gonna be harder for a black candidate. Especially when Cubans are majority Republican and black candidates tend to be democrats. I don't even know who the mayor of my county is so not like I care about that type of thing anyways. Only time I see her was during the hurricane press conferences.

Hispanic Voters Will Never Elect a Black Miami-Dade County Mayor
Luther CampbellJanuary 22, 2018
When he was seeking reelection in 2012, Gimenez showed up at every rally and black church to drum up endorsements. Though the black vote can push a candidate over the top in a countywide election, we somehow always select the best Cuban candidate. And once the Cuban candidate wins, he tosses the African-American community into the garbage. All we get in return is a giant F-you.
While African-Americans always give Cuban candidates the benefit of the doubt, Latino voters never do the same for black candidates for county mayor. President Barack Obama, who is the best black politician ever and won Miami-Dade in 2008 and 2012, would not win a mayoral race here. Hispanics will always vote for the Cuban, even if he turns out to be the Latino Trump. And it’s not just Cuban voters. Other Latino voters — Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Nicaraguans, and Colombians — always fall in line too.
The closest a black candidate has gotten to the county throne came in 1996, when the late Arthur Teele Jr. forced a runoff against Alex Penelas in a contentious battle that split along racial lines. Teele won an overwhelming majority of black voters but did not make a dent in Latino neighborhoods. Penelas garnered more than 50 percent of Latino voters for the primary. In the runoff, he almost doubled that output by winning 90 percent of the Latino vote.
At the time, former Miami Mayor Maurice Ferré and Teele endorser said, “Obviously, the Hispanic community feels very strongly about having one of their own in office.” More than two decades later, that sentiment hasn’t changed. A major disconnect still exists between black and Latino residents.
So we get stuck with politicians like Gimenez, who appoint police directors like Juan Perez, who also doesn’t give a damn about the county’s black community. Perez was also absent at the anti-gun violence gathering.
