What's with this "Latinos have no power in Watts so let's blame black people!" narrative in the LA Times and LA Weekly?

What do latin@s want outside of immigration reform in our communities? What kinda schools do we want? Relationship to police?
@aurabogado -
But can we also talk about how popular immigration reform rhetoric is also rooted in anti-blackness?
@PalmTreesnGz -
One last thing: It's the 50-year anniversary of the Watts riots. A black thing. Can we just let black people have a moment?
-
Can we commemorate, hear about, think about the Watts riots, 50 years later... and not re-center and make it about non-black latinos?

@aurabogado Only people who benefit form pitting one against the other is white people. -
I think non-black latinos benefit, too. Maybe not in the same ways and/or extent, but we benefit.
@diasporaspear -
@aurabogado the step up received is based on participating in white supremacy. We all win if we tear it down.

I haven't seen specific articles Ure talking bout but I know the story...
@aurabogado -
@PalmTreesnGz I know you do... One day we'll even tweet what's happening in West Adams, too. But not today. Too much for a Tuesday.

Are we ready to continue to oust black people in neighborhoods and welcome white people?

A better question would be what's at stake by being power holders in local politics for latin@ and black folks?
