Let's parse it out a bit. By GOP, we mean white conservatives. By latinos and immigrant families, we mean non-black latinos.
This piece is essentially saying SOME people *wink, wink* work hard and we're in the same boat. Note it doesn't say we ALL work hard.
If we non-black latinos work hard, and white folks work hard... who's the counter to this that isn't working hard? Oh.
Without having to be explicit about it, non-black latinos and whites have a common ground on which we too often agree: anti-blackness.
And here's the thing: as I've stated previously, Trump's been saying crazy racist shit against black people for a long ass time.
But it wasn't until Trump was front in center with his vile anti-latino bullshit that people started pulling away from him.
Black and latino people were both the targets of Trump's hate. But this article doesn't mention it. There's no common ground cited.
Instead, the commonality that's cited is literally how the GOP and non-black latinos are into "pulling oneself up by [one's] bootstraps."
This oped does nothing to confront the GOP's continuing legacy of racism in the explicit form of anti-blackness. Why miss this opportunity?
I'm... disappointed. At best. This is such a missed opportunity—at such a crucial time in our existence.
