134. Yes, yes, blacks and latinos need to unite!
Just as my African ancestors united with Native Americans, we should unite with Latinos. (Wonder what happened to an entire continent of Natives? If they didn't die or shoved away to reservations, they became black.) One of my biggest fears is seeing a rift between our populations. We've witnessed thoughout American history how one group is pitted against another.

Today, it's being done with labor. We see them celebrating with glee when the 2000 census shows Hispanic over-taking blacks as the majority-minority population. You remember the remark Mexico's president Fox said about illegal migrants taking jobs that black people didn't want. We see Bush actively seeking Hispanic votes, not blacks.

We should be careful. Corporate pigs will pit us against one other until we end up killing each other. And for what? A tiny bit of the pie? In all, I truly believe corporate thugs want to replace blacks with Latinos for the sake of having cheaper labor without complaint. They did it before by replacing Natives with Africans. I tell you scream loudly for your rights. You ARE human. Once the Latino's start demanding Civil Rights, you'll see all hell break loose.

Oh, stay tune to the Million's More march in DC this weekend.
