I am not completely versed in racial politics in the US but aren’t there a lot of tensions generally between the latino and the african american communities. These numbers would seem to not reflect at all any of these tensions that are certainly present in the big cities anyway.
This is correct. In my old neighborhood, South L.A. it was real bad, but Latinos & blacks are often in agreement when it comes to politics & the economy. The political differences lie in some of the social issues (especially abortion). If McCain/Palin can get onto the subject of abortion & gay marriage...those poll numbers will go up.
Living in Los Angeles and sometimes taking public transpo through LAC? Based on actual situations on the subway, I can attest that 99% of latinos don;t like blacks..period.
Most of the latinos I know have spoken honestly on how they perceive blacks: lazy bums on welfare. No, those are not my words. My latino neighbors in L.A. flat out think they’re lazy. BUT the bad part is they will still vote Dumbocrat..thank you Mayor Villa-la-Raza.
When hispanics get in the voting booth, bet they don’t vote for Obama in large numbers. A lot of tension between the two groups. Can you say Bradley factor?
