Black and Latino Hate Violence A Painful New Fact in America Political Analyst Details in His New Book
The Latino Challenge to Black America
“The much publicized crackdown on a Latino gang that unleashed a three year campaign to drive blacks out of a mixed neighborhood in South Los Angeles ripped open a dirty and very painful secret,” says Author and political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson, in his new book The Latino Challenge to Black America: Towards a Conversation Between African-Americans and Hispanics. Latinos and blacks can and do commit hate crimes against each other. The violence can be just as deadly as the worst Southern Klan, Aryan Nation, or Skinhead attacks. Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles say Latino gang members committed or are suspected of complicity in 20 killings during its reign of terror in the area. The arrests and indictment of the gang members came barely two months after the slaying of three black students in Newark, New Jersey by illegal Latino immigrants, some with alleged gang ties. But two years before the Newark killings, Latino men were robbed, beaten and even murdered in other cities.
Hutchinson says “This represents two more disturbing trends. One is that blacks and Latinos committed the majority of hate crimes in Los Angeles, and a sizeable number of them nationally. The other is that hate crimes are increasingly being committed by blacks and Latinos against each other and that in some cases the victims are innocent random victims of the violence.”
He details the tormenting problem of black and Latino hate violence in his book. He tells what black and Latino leaders can do about it.
