No, the Black racism is mainly against Hispanic people. I heard it was a major factor in LA when the race card was overtly played to oppose a pro-union Hispanic candidate. It is not much different here in Baltimore. For example, the work center for immigrant workers that Casa Maryland wants to put in our neighborhood, with the support of our community organizations, is fiercely opposed by Black homeowners and activists with racist rhetoric that would make the KKK blush - their slogan is "save our children from pedophiles."

We have a community meeting on that today evening, so I will report back what happened.
