Les Lester's Chronicle, Message Board: Re: Richard Rothstein’s The Color Of Law. (video)

I don't have time to listen to most of the videos until much later, bro. I got the lead on this one, but it's information folks already know. Meanwhile, I deal with Hispanics every day. There's no reason to pit Blacks against Hispanics simply because Hispanics have a different relationship with white folks. They're, meanwhile, educated by the mass media, just like whites and Blacks are.
The reason I have the information on the Olmecs and the Blacks who crossed the Nazca Ridge from the Polynesian Islands, and the indigenous Blacks who were already in the America's, is to expand the narrative so segments of the Natives, who were enslaved, too, will see the full picture.

You don't pit two peoples who are oppressed against each other, bro. Are you not thinking clear? I've had great relationships with Hispanics. You miss it on that one when you bring up common differences between Blacks and Hispanics. Some of them are going to be conservative, and some of them are going to be influenced by white admixtures. But to blanket all of them as an opposition to Black people is missing the point. I have an Hispanic nephew in Vera Cruz, where the Olmecs from perhaps 1200 B.C. have been found. Mexico's current President has made mention of the Black ancient heritage of Mexico -- they know they're mixed with Blacks and whites. Mexico fought with Ethiopia to overcome the Italians. I'm seeing some Arab-world inculturation leaking in your perspective, sir.

There's a statue of Vera Cruz's top Black slave-era freedom fighter in the heart of Vera Cruz. The people there and President of Mexico send the right signals. My nephew's wife and her mother reflect the character of Mexico that is important to me.

I've had Spanish girlfriends. We understand this much clearer than your distance-learning, bro.

I never knew the city of "San Francisco" was the first in the country to start the "Redlining". I would expect Birmingham, Alabama.

Les, you should listen to Richard Rothstein in the video below until the end. I've been saying pretty much the same thing about the Hispanic/Latinos on this board countless times but wasn't taken seriously. Why? Coz someone on this board tried to mix my views on Latinos with ICE and deportations and being pro-Trump which wasn't the case. Perhaps Richard Rothstein explained it better here.

Like Godfrey the comedian said in the video below "sometimes you need a White man to tell White ppl what the deal is".

Indeed, Richard Rothstein rocks.
