Why spanish people don't like Black americans...

"There's no doubt that Mexican men and women - full of dignity, willpower and a capacity for work - are doing the work that not even blacks want to do in the United States."

--Vincente Fox, Former president of Mexico

For the uninitiated, former president of mexico, Vincente Fox, is the perplexed looking man at the center of this blog's pictured header. He made this statement on May 15th, 2005. He then recanted and called Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson as a means of reconciling his dumb-founded quote. 

What Fox intimates with this statement, is his beliefs about mexicans enjoying an exalted status above Black people in america; even though the stats prove Black americans are clearly doing better socio-economically than their mexican-american peers. Now, originally, I was going to title this post 'Why spanish americans don't like Black americans...', but with statements like this from the mexican president, and what I've heard from dominicans, puerto ricans, peruvians, colombians, etc., this sentiment is shared in nearly every predominately spanish speaking country. 

Florida Senator Marco Rubio is the man pictured on the Time magazine cover. He's a leading member of the Republican party and a staunch conservative. Now, this man is constantly serving two masters, on one hand, he's a leading Republican who falls in line with the Repub. rank and file; on the other, his party is in direct opposition to immigration reforms that could help a lot of his people become full-fledged citizens. 

So he's constantly flip-flopping on that issue; but ultimately, he'll do whatever keeps him in the good graces of the party. Even to the detriment of his people. 

I remember recently, how Republican congressman Don Young called spanish people 'wetbacks' in a broadcast radio show. When the media asked Marco what he thought about Don's statement, he said this: "I'm concentrating on the Easter holiday...no comment."

And that's yet another example of spanish people always bending to the will of whites, even when it hurts them. 

Another instance of this happening is when an all-white California motorcycle gang called the 'Mongols', recruited spanish people into their ranks to help them fight a war they had with the hells angels. What wound up happening is the spanish faction of the group ultimately didn't conform to some of the Mongols standards, and they wound up in a war with these bigoted white bikers. I've also heard how spanish prison gangs have teamed up with the aryan nation to fight against Black prison gangs. It seems they'll do whatever is necessary to affiliate themselves with white factions who at some point show how much they hate spaniards.  

In conjunction to this, I have a relative who recently moved next door to some spanish people. When she first moved in, she waved hello to them and they looked at her like she was crazy. One other time, she was hanging curtains at a window that faced their house, one spaniard saw her and immediately turned back towards his house, slamming the door shut behind him. 

I also recall a time when I used to frequent a big bodega; and I remember the spanish people who owned it swore up and down that it was a full-fledged supermarket. Not only were their prices twice the average for everything, but they were constantly rude, crass and had snippy attitudes because they were in a Black neighborhood. So much so, that residents of the neighborhood robbed them; and I can't say I blame them. I even had to curse out someone in the store because of their attitude.

The above incident then got me thinking about the time I saw George Lopez on TV and he proudly announced that Black people weren't allowed in his house as a youngster. I wondered how many white people came to visit his family? I'd wager not a one. 

Then I thought about how the 'Original Kings of Comedy' tour, documented by Spike Lee, got copied by George Lopez and his spanish friends when they put out the 'latin kings of comedy' tour and DVD. Now why is George copying anything to do with Black people's culture when he's so proud that we weren't allowed in his house? I've seen this time and time again with spanish people; they'll talk, dance, sing and wear the fashions of Black people, but they still can't stand Black people. Weird, huh? 

But here's my point in saying all this; the REAL reason spanish people don't like Black americans is...we remind them THEY'RE NOT WHITE. See, spanish people have a 'non-white' complex they'll never admit to. 

While they take about their national pride, they always want to prove to the world that they can be more european than europeans; especially around Black people. Even though western whites exploit the hell out of them in this country. I remember one day a spanish person openly said around me: "I'm not Black, I'm not Black; I'm orange and white that's why I'm alright." Then I told him: "You should join the Klan...they'll show you how white you are." 

And some Black people may suffer from this delusion, until they get their Black wake up call and find out who they really are. But the overwhelming majority of us don't need the wake up call; nothing's more apparent to us than who we are. We know we'll never be white, and someone like myself is glad not to be. But time and again, I see spanish people go along with whatever white people tell them to do, again, completely to their detriment; all in the name of claiming some sort of elusive white status. And even when they get their 'wake up call', they ignore it and keep to their 'wish-to-be-white' ways.

All in all, I have to say this about anglophilic spanish people: IT'S GOTTA' SUCK TO THINK YOU'RE SO CLOSE TO BEING WHITE, AND KNOWING YOU NEVER WILL BE. Black people aren't this deluded, and we're all the better for it. 

So whenever I hear comments from white conservatives like congressman Don Young, and see spanish people's lack of outrage towards it, it proves to me how willing they are to be prideless in the face of white bigotry. And any ethnic group who conforms to this philosophy, deserves whatever they get in the future.
