But this is South Central. It was black because housing covenants bound it that way. And black people made it what it is.

If you talk to black folks who've been forced to migrate out of South Central, they don't much care if it's displacement or gentrification.

So if we're gonna talk about disempowerment in South Central, let's talk about how latinos have disempowered black people, ok?

There's so much at play. Let's not collapse it to "black people don't let latino people have power in Watts." Because it's lazy. And untrue.

What do latin@s want outside of immigration reform in our communities? What kinda schools do we want? Relationship to police?

But can we also talk about how popular immigration reform rhetoric is also rooted in anti-blackness?

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?

I think non-black latinos benefit, too. Maybe not in the same ways and/or extent, but we benefit. @diasporaspear
