      Or just trying to write how lynching has hurt many communities of color in the US, including Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans. #factshttps://twitter.com/LouDaPlug/status/1272675197318029312 …

      This is part of the reason why Clive Webb and Bill Carrigan titled their book as they did.

      Actually, I'm a white dude quoting white dudes on Mexican American history, and their work was actually original.

      And @HistoryBrian is a good historian in his own right with a book on civil rights in Texas that has since sold out in recent weeks. Order your copy today! https://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Their-Own-Battles-Americans/dp/1469618958/ref=sr_1_1?crid=PZUKMZXZELBW&dchild=1&keywords=brian+behnken&qid=1592266495&sprefix=brian+beh%2Caps%2C391&sr=8-1 …pic.twitter.com/o71p8HDW3y

      Then read "Forgotten Dead: Mob Violence against Mexicans in the United States, 1848-1928." It'll open your eyes. It opened mine. https://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Dead-Violence-Mexicans-1848-1928/dp/0195320352 …pic.twitter.com/F30cNcNS8x

      Not good enough. How many Mexicans vs Blacks? You’re comparing apples v oranges. American Blacks are STILL a bottom caste in this country, even though we’ve been here longer than immigrants, bc this abuse was targeted to our communities.

      Yvette I don't think he is interested in good and accurate historical content. I think he is just trying to sell a book. 😒

      My book is not finished yet. I don't have one to sell. But if you are interested, may I suggest Monica Muñoz Martinez' "The Injustice Never Leaves You: Anti-Mexican Violence in Texas" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DGHW77W/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 …

          Well we all know you have to sell before you sell. However, I don't believe it will be of interest to me. May I recommend for your political education, http://ados101.com
