I know right, lol It's one of those reasons why I'm like fat joe shouldn't be saying nigga, because if society really broke down into straight racial tribalism, he wouldn't be with us :roll: But I have faith My cousin had a latina gf...I had a latina gf (ie some chick I gave money to) and I know of Latinas/latinos at work who dated or married blacks Did I mention a latina wanted to split my head for asking a ww to the prom? Pretty sure I did
Yeah that shit is so funny. One of the last girls I dated was Latina (so fucking bad nothing like a Spanish chick from Harlem) before I met my current girlfriend. Shorty gave me a look of death that rivaled most black women when she found I dated white women "fucking white girls really, fucking white girls. That's some sad shit when you have all these beautiful black and latinas walking around" It took hours for me to get my jaw off the ground lol
Italian, which are both known for their crazy bad tempers. She's super sweet but when she gets angry... HOLY FUCK BATMAN! Can't keep no weapons in the house with her around. It's funny, she feels some type of way that I like white women but then she also has a skin complexion superiority complex. Get's disgusted that I find dark skin women attractive. She loves light skin women tho.
Europeans tend to go by nationality more, rather than ethnicity. Besides, they were considered non-white, along with many other Europeans that migrated into the States, like Irish, Germans, Scottish, and even those of Eastern European persuasions. Of course, even the Japanese were considered white before WW2. So no, the concept wasn't limited to just Europe. And to make it more amusing, even American blacks, who established businesses could go to South Africa and be considered "Honorary Whites" during the Apartheid. And to add, the KKK didn't want any of them to join since they weren't considered "white." All which points out how pointless the concept of race is as a whole since they couldn't make up their minds. When Jews are considered white someday...we'll eventually have to revisit this.

The first Latina I had fallen in love with(more like had an unrequited love for) was Puerto Rican. She didn't go out with me but she did ask me a question about my failed dating history in high school. She asked, "Were any of these girls white?" My reply was that most of them were white. I have met a couple of Latinas who have dated, married and had children with black men. The best place to meet a Latina, looking back now, was(perhaps still is) the basketball court. There are a lot of Latinas, black and a few white women hanging around to watch the guys play ball.
Another reason why I don't understand the hate on the west coast That's a whole different breed of latino I never seen a bm and a latino guy arguing or fighting over race here...that shit is unheard of
http://news.yahoo.com/black-officers-torn-between-duty-race-082331592--politics.html I feel him on being labeled Uncle Tom or a traitor tho It's sad For every black upset over the lack of color/diversity in the forces, there's another group of blacks who antagonizes would-be police of color Damned if you do, damned if you don't
I guess because Mexican influence dominated the west coast The Mexicans were there a lot longer than whites. So, it stands to reason that they had an advantage over the whites at that time but it would be short lived because when California entered statehood, the power shifted from the Mexicans to the all-white government of the U.S.A.. The Mexicans, who had their artistic, culinary and architectural influences from Spain remained, but all the rest went to the government. It is all a territorial pissing match over everything. I had once seen a Puerto Rican and a white guy at a carnival get into a fight over a girl. It was so bad it kicked up a cloud of dust. It ended rather quickly, though.
That's because the latino gangs in texas and LA are mexicans. Time to stop lumping people into groups like Lation/Hispanic and become more SPECIFIC. Mexican gangs are so racist they ally themselves with the Aryan Brotherhood. Ever hear of the Nazi Lowriders???
When I was a corrections officer, I would, from time time, have a spirited debate about law enforcement. The pro-black inmates would assert that law enforcement and the criminal justice system was designed to dominate, hold back by coersion and intimidation and destruction of the black community. Any black man who becomes a law enforcement officer is viewed as a traitor. I had to tell them that there must be law and order in every community because no citizen needs to live in fear. I have always been pro-law enforcement and have hopes that conditions in the field improve. But, unfortunately, there are a few bad apples that spoil the whole bunch.
I'm responding to the "pull out the white membership" BS. Those that do visit the US without a shred of knowing its history would be a bit puzzled by those concepts. I'm around a lot of these people and they all tell me the same thing. I'm not implying that racism is nonexistent in certain areas of Europe. Far from it. But the "brandishing the white card" is a bit too absurd and silly.
