The Spanish people are some of my favorite people, but they do have that gangster contingent, who’re pretty sold-out to being tough guys. Previous Message
Felix, Tijerina(photo below) totally confirmed my negative thinking about Black and Brown relations.
This is what the bastard said:
"Let the Negro fight his own battles," declared Felix Tijerina, a Mexican American civil rights activist in Texas and the national president of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), in 1957. Tijerina was responding to the suggestion by some LULAC colleagues that Mexican Americans ally with African Americans. "[The Negro's] problems are not mine," he retorted. "I don't want to ally with him" (1). Thirteen years later, Reverend D. Leon Everett, the lone black member of the Houston school board, and a leader of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), expressed pessimism over the possibility for black-brown unity after a Mexican American youth told him that "[w]e don't want to go to school with the Blacks because they are dirty!"
Again, I really feel sorry for what's happening to Mexicans around America and at the borders. I hope that one day I.C.E will just leave the Mexicans alone, I swear.
