b. the creation of a more united minority front is just what the colored population of this country needs (especially in terms of voting and economic power) and,
c. learning how to understand Black culture (all Black people are not drug dealers), and Latino culture (all Latinas aren’t sluts who liked to be called “Mami”), will only lead to a greater understanding and respect of each.
