Hispanics Dump Black Principal

A black principal at some majority-hispanic school in Chicago was voted out by a majority-hispanic school board in favor of an hispanic principal. A supporter of the black principal was heard shouting “Speak English!” to a woman speaking Spanish, and there was chair-kicking going on. Some allege the whole thing is racial. No! Really?

This is what happens under a system of racial spoils. Blacks have been propped up as THE preferred minority group for decades, ostensibly because of slavery and government-mandated segregation.

Today’s racial spoils system is based not on slavery and Jim Crow, but on whichever group, black or hispanics, has the “power” at any given time to push its agenda. You’ll notice that Asians and other racial/ethnic minorities aren’t wasting their time fighting over scraps. Or “turf.” Why? (Also see Black and Hispanic “Hate” in LA County)

Man, I wish I’d saved that link. It’s a must-read. Hispanics are out-breeding everyone else. And unlike voting black Americans, 90 percent of whom vote for Democrats, the hispanic vote is more dispersed between both major political parties. That gives them a lot more leverage.
