That may be true about what is happening among gangs in Southern Cal, but what I'm saying and believe is also true in other parts of the country and
this opposite fact should not be overlooked. I refuse to think like white people want us to think and lump all Latinx in the same category as hating Black people. This wasn't true 40-50 years ago and it's not true today. . .
"Also, those who say Black Lives Matter excludes everybody else are choosing to ignore the nonblack people of color who support the movement. According to a June poll jointly conducted by Black Youth Project, the Associated Press and NORC at the University of Chicago, a majority of young Asian-Americans were already on board with Black Lives Matter before Sterling and Castile were killed. So were a majority young Latinos. That poll, called GenForward, found that 68 percent of Asian-Americans between 18 and 30 were supportive of the "Black Lives Matter" movement along with 53 percent of Latinos in that age range. Support among young black people was 85 percent."

A Chicago protest after the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling Progress Illinois Twitter
"As the nation reels from this week's police killings of
Alton Sterling and
Philando Castile and the shooting at a peaceful march in Dallas, the Black Lives Matter movement has seen growing support from Latinos and Asian-Americans, who say they’re victims of the same systemic problems. These communities have had a mixed record when it comes to supporting social justice for African-Americans.
“Within the Latino community, Black Lives Matter has to become an issue,” says Latino rights activist
Daniel Leon-Davis, social media director for hip-hop producer Russell Simmons, who said this week marked a shift in the way he thinks about the ties between people fighting for Latino and immigrant rights and those marching for Black Lives. “If you are Latino and think that the best thing for you is to be silent when black lives are murdered, that’s a big mistake,” he told Univision News.
From education to violence to gentrification, activists cite similarities between the issues facing black and Latino communities in an increasingly polarized political climate. These commonalities have inspired more Hispanics to join the movement."
