why do blacks forcibly champion brown peoples issues?

[intruder]

Meh I live in Atlanta which has a huge Mexican pop, the Mexicans aren't hateful they are more so concerned with their own issues than trying to be on some "you're my brother" steeze like blacks. Mexicans in Atlanta have Buford Hwy which is their Harlem while blacks are to busy trying to give their bread to other groups.

I live in Atlanta too breh. I actually live in Alpharetta but spend most of my time in the Grant Park and East Atlanta area. I also be in the West-End but not as much anymore since i broke up with that chick

We get it your Latino and feel offended that blacks are calling the truth out lol don't get mad at me

Breh where did I say i'm latino? I'm as black as the man you see in my avi (Jacob DesVarieux). I've fukked latina women just like any other black man but in no way am I latino

Latinos are taking care of their own and just like the brown man can tend to his own let black folks tend to their own

Isnt that what every group does in the United states? Black, latinos, whites, chinese, Koreans... all take care of their.... OWN
You aint teaching sh!t saying this

and if yall share issues that we do ask for the mic instead of having blacks be in the trenches for your causes while many(not all of course) brown people sit at home talking down on the same group down for them

Name these causes that black be in the trenches for others, breh .
Name me a few issues that has happened in the latino or asian communities where black american came out in overwhelming numbers or even significant number to support. THe only ones i could think of were the Amadou Diallo case in New York and the Abner Louima case also in New York. And while i know there were a lot of black americans present in support of the issue some would argue that you cant tell they were necessarily black american because these two victims were black but african and haitian so the protesters were bound to be black.

Yeah let me see these trenches where you took up the "brown cause" breh. I'll wait

yep. its fukk latino issues for me they deport all them mothafukkas

shyt whatever works for you fam

Lol it never fails the SECOND blacks say "ok we need to worry about us and only us" mofos that aren't black come out the wood works with issues but let them be at their own rally's and marches they won't utter a damn word about the black man. It's wild that even the crazy Hebrew Isrealites will cape for brown people buy modern Latino orgs say very little if not nothing at all about blacks sharing issues/struggles.

Latinos are for latinos. Even some afro-latinos who are just as black as we are (and in a lot of cases, more black genetically) ain't for us.

Reason #20 I don't like them using the word "nikka" around me. They'll cite growing up in our neighborhoods and being our "brothers" as justification for why they should be able to, but when we inform them they more than likely have black heritage, they'll raise an eyebrow and be like " my nikka I'm not black...I'M DOMINCAN!"

My cousin's roommate had her boyfriend over the other day. This dude loves to throw around the word "nikka" with the frequency of DMX in his prime, but one day they overheard him making jokes about black women and how he'll never date a black girl unless she's light or mixed.

Latinos be extra confused with it, but one thing they're generally not onfused about is their views on black people.

It'd be easier if it wasn't, but it is.

So you feel like you're the only ones in that situation?
If you think being black is hard in America and everyone is out to get you. Then try being black and haitian and tell me how you like it.
No matter your situation as a black american here im certain you wouldnt trade places with us

 

[christinasade]

Black folk were MIA when that 13 year old Mexican kid out in Cali got shot & killed by the cops

Can anybody show me a predominately black crowd protesting or leading a rally for some sort of injustice that happened to an hispanic, or a pro-hispanic cause...like i posted with the Trayvon rally

Sadly, i doubt any such thing has ever occured.

oh im sorry but we were much to busy trying to keep the Mexican gangs from killing and driving us out our neighborhoods.

Y'all want to feel like it's "us against the world" so bad

Some days it feels that way though.

Coming up in Harlem, Some of my very best friends were Dominicans and ricans and their was never any sort of tension. shyt the first time I went to Red Lobster when I was a teen is when my friend's Dominican parents took me with them.

I'm saying in terms of the black plight, blacks are on their own. Sure there will be latinos, asians, and whites who are "brothers in arms" and are out there fighting for us, but they are far and in between. They are an extreme minority. If they were in the majority, black people wouldn't be in the position we're in today. You said we love for it to be us against the world. I don't agree that we love it. I think we just accept the obvious.

Nobody will know you're Haitian unless you tell them. I'm African and can tell non black people I'm from Cuba, they aren't going to treat me like a Cuban they are going to treat me how they treat all black men in America. It's only within circles where everyone is the same color does the tribalism kicks in where a Jamaican will say he's better than a Hatian or a Nigerian will say he's better than an Ivorian or a cat from Harlem will say he's better than a dude from Dallas

My point is isnt that the same for all groups? You can say that exact same sentence for EVERY-SINGLE-GROUP looks out for themselves. EVERY-SINGLE_GORUP has very few supporters among other groups

Again, doggy. Whats the point/message here?

Im still waiting for the brown causeS you find black people supporting too much, breh. Dont dodge the question

The point @Versa, the OP and others are saying is that black people overall have the propensity as a group to support the causes of others, in some cases while getting very little in return. That's a very dangerous game to play, especially when other groups aren't consistent in returning the favor.

Almost every issue black folks are affected by the most (police brutality, the criminal justice system, systematic poverty and so on), many black leaders have mentioned "black and brown" or "black and latinos" in their speeches, rhetoric, or even plans of action.

When was the last time a latino with power and influence mentioned black immigrants in their speeches, rhetoric, and so on concerning immigration, an issue that specifically affects latinos the most?

Nah you're dodging the point of this thread. This thread about when ever blacks fight for something we mention and include all groups while when other groups do their thing they don't say a thing about blacks majority of the time.

Look at cats like Killer Mike, love em to death but dude for the life of him won't say the issues of today are impacting blacks but will say its a class thing. Ferguson was a race issue point blank. Cops ain't out targeting poor white people.

Exactly, with the immigration crap why aren't brown people mentioning their African and Hatian brehs that face issues with immigration?

I still am waiting for these causes that black people be in the trenches for others while getting very littl ein return, breh.

When the Lozano trials took place in Miami where an unarmed black american man was shot to death by a police officer I remember haitian, jamaicans and others were out protesting with black americans. I dont remember black american gettingout in great numbers in support of haitians, tho.Oh wait... In Miami it was black americans that were hunting down haitians. My bad.
Again, EVERY-GROUP-LOOKS-OUT-FOR-THEMSELVES in general. I'm fine with that.I understand it. Stop acting like you ing for others
