When I was a kid, Crenshaw was well over 85% black. In 2000, it was roughly 75% black. Today, there are varying figures for the demographics, and they range from 48% to 58% black, and 28% to 30% non-black Hispanic.
That’s not gentrification. It’s demographic replacement. In my youth, Compton was over 80% black. Today, it’s 28% black and 68% Hispanic.
Again, that’s not gentrification. That’s a population shift caused by a variety of factors including immigration, birthrate, young vs. aging populations, racially-tinged crime (in 2014 President Obama brought in the feds to stop Hispanic gangs in Boyle Heights from running blacks out of the neighborhood), etc.
It's interesting the gloating AAs are doing about the white decline in numbers in the latest census - they seem to think they will be running this nation in the near future. They are about 13% of the American population; Latinos are about 20% (and rising by the millisecond as our southern border remains a massive sieve). Latinos' numbers will be double what blacks' numbers are, and probably in the not-too-distant future.
Point being: you were sold out by democrats as much as white Americans were sold out - the joke is on all of us. You aren't going to control anything - they will toss you some crumbs (a mayorship of a big city here or there, chief of police, etc) but you won't have your fingers on the nukes in this lifetime (and likely not the next or the next after that, chaps).
Eliminate the hispanic/latino label. This is all just an illusion.
My relatives who grew up in Texas in the 40s/50s/60s in places where Latin Americans were common say no one was EVER "hispanic". They didn't exist. There was no notion of them as a people. In Texas, they were just somebody that was white.
Nobody thought about Spanish people before they became "hispanics". The hispanic group is a political fabrication.
I would think if it were merely a political construct, then the language used by these "whites" would be our version of "English". That does not appear to be the case though.

Disagree.
But it's largely a linguistic/cultural divide rather than a skin color difference.

Spanish used to be a language like French, Italian, or German! It didn't have a non-white connotation. The whole concept that Speaking Spanish makes a person a minority was made up when the "hispanic" label was institutionalized.
People have normalized this ridiculous notion, but try to think about it objectively. Why would speaking Spanish make a person a minority?
Can you imagine if it were arbitrarily decided that Speaking French made a person non-white?

This seems quite common in CA. East Oakland for example seemed almost all Black when I worked there in the 1980s. We visited last in about 2018 and it seemed to be mostly Hispanic. I can't find the demographics just on that part but Oakland in total is now Hispanic at 26% Hispanic, 24.7% Black, while in 1990 is was 43.9% Black, and only 13.2% Hispanic.
Here in the Seattle area, the Black population is actually a bit higher, but the Whites are being displaced by the Asians.
2020:
White: 67.30%
Asian: 15.43%
Black or African American: 7.33%

It depends on location I would think.
When people talk about latinos or hispanics in places like southern california from the article above, they are clearly referring to Mexicans who have darker features and don't consider themselves to be white.
