Well, one difference is that (most) blacks have every legal right to be in the USA, where as up to half of the latino population are illegals. Regardless of which group you like or dislike more, you can't really ignore that fact. If 30 million illegals left the nation, employment and wages for the lower class would skyrocket overnight, yet no one ever makes that suggestion. These left wingers, so concerned for the poor, wont take the obvious action to provide them with a wealth of jobs and substantially raise their wages....
It's certainly true that black leadership engenders hatred towards whites. However there are some blacks who are great leaders, with messages of freedom. What's unfortunate is that these black people could in no way be considered "black leadership". What bothers me the most are the gaping double standards, and blatant media bias. I don't like how it's legitimate for blacks, latinos, or any other group of non whites to organize along racial lines and have legitimate group interests, but if white people do it, it's immediately "hateful" and "racist". The blatant anti-white, and anti-western bias in the media and academia is revolting, and it would be considered bigotry of the highest order if directed at any other group. Just imagine if there were affirmative action quotas making it easier for whites to gain admission to universities, or limiting the number of nonwhites that could attend. How about special scholarships only for white students? All subsidized with billions of tax payer dollars... Yet if you want the admission to go to the student with the best scores, or the job to go to the person who is the most qualified, REGARDLESS OF RACE, then somehow YOU are the racist... Did you ever notice how it's only the primarily white nations which are called upon to practice "diversity" and "multiculturalism"?
While it's true that the best mathematical indicator for how dangerous a given area is in the United States, is what percent of the population is black or latino, I don't know exactly how relevant that is politically. Certainly, if you feel that you should simply avoid blacks, then by all means do so. I do not believe in legal segregation. However, I don't believe in the forceful integration which followed the civil rights movement either. I believe that if people want to integrate or segregate on any basis they so choose, race included, then that's their right. Civil rights was about equal treatment under the law, and for people to be treated as individuals instead of representatives of groups. It was not a sweeping empirical claim that all groups of people are indistinguishable and should have no discernible differences. I believe american blacks, as a group, have unique and valuable characteristics and features, very much worthy of recognition and preservation. I think these calls for "multiculturalism" ultimately undermine their unique and valuable qualities too, although they aren't the immediate target.
I believe that these "egalitarians" are the real racists. For example when they took the black communities and started forcing them into white communities and schools. Then they promptly began telling black people there was something wrong with them if they didn't act similar to most whites, and conform to white cultural standards. If blacks, as a group, were failing to match whites in a given metric, then that meant that the blacks were "suffering" due to some racism, hate, or bigotry, and somehow needed to be "fixed". If they didn't conform to some criteria which was considered "desirable" (by governments and organizations full of white people), then this meant the black people were somehow deficient. They basically told the black community that if they didn't behave like the white community, then they were broken, and needed "help", and this was white people's fault. What happened? Formerly nice and affluent areas of cities around the nation went to shit, property values plummeted and the 21st century inner city "ghetto" was created. The good schools mostly went to hell, and the white people mostly left, or went to private schools. They even have a term for it- "white flight". The "inner city" and "ghetto" are direct consequences of left wing social engineering. It's rather humorous to compare the outcomes with the promises which were made regarding the outcomes at the time the policies were initiated... I fervently support removing Jim Crow and so forth, but the forceful integration measures were a mistake. In fact, blacks are WORSE off now than they were pre integration by most measurable criteria. As with many other issues, we over corrected, and have now created a culture of victimhood and hate within much of the black community. Of course Jim Crow et al needed to go, but after that things should have been left alone.
