There is racial tension in both NY and LA. Every now and then we see come across a news story that makes us wonder about these 2 and how races get along there.

Any state where it's common for a person not to be hired for a certain job because she or he does not speak Spanish.

I also pointed out to him that Virginia, a few years ago, voted in the nation's first black Governor, Governor Wilder.

Now this one isnt racist cause I live in New Mexico and certain jobs prefer you to speak Spanish, its for the company to be able to help all customers like banks and the courts.

Which one is true? Both Wikipedia sites state different men as the first. All I know is when Wilder was elected it was stated on national TV that he was the first. So it would be interesting to hear from others why we have two first to be black governors. There must be a reason or technicality.

I actually agree, but there will always be a disagreement when people insist that racism in only geared toward minorities.

It goes both ways and until that's adressed, sadly that statement will always be true.

Pinchback was the first AA to become governor after succeeding Henry Clay Warmoth, who was impeached.
