This, of course, creates a hierarchy of oppression with those with \u201ckyriarchical\u201d traits being seen as having \u201cprivilege\u201d and thus \u201coppressors\u201d and morally inferior to those who are \u201coppressed\u201d and thus justified in opposing the axiomatic oppressors. This has the effect of making two White \u201ccis-males\u201d who are Gay less morally pure than Black trans biologiccal females who are genderqueer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However, within the category of race, differentiations based on race, even absent other \u201cintersectional\u201d elements, due to the question of who is more \u201coppressed\u201d and thus more morally empowered. With the rise of #BlackLivesMatter that rejects the idea that \u201cAll lives matter\u201d to the point that no other lives matter until \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d, the narrative from \u201cCritical Race Theory\u201d of a rainbow coalition of \u201cpersons of color\u201d fighting against \u201cWhite supremacy\u201d is flipped into non-Blacks <em>vs<\/em>. a Blacks-first movement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps that alone would not matter much, but when #BlackLivesMatter protests turn into riots and nascent revolutions that target everyone, including people who are under the broad terms of \u201cHispanic\u201d or \u201cLatino\u201d, said targeted people tend to not find their businesses and workplaces being torched and looted or themselves harassed very \u201cliberating\u201d and perhaps a greater threat than a \u201cWhite supremacy\u201d that doesn\u2019t torch and loot their businesses and workplaces or harass them like the #BlackLivesMatter related rioters are known to do. That Antifa wannabe revolutionaries tend to be overwhelmingly \u201cpersons of pallor\u201d just ads to the idea that perhaps maybe, juuust maybe, White Leftists stirring up revolutionary chaos and nascent repression more typically seen in Latin America for the sake <em>first and foremost<\/em> of American Blacks is perhaps not the best way to fight against any discrimination or potential oppression against themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Left can blame the boogie-man only so far.<\/p>\n<p><meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@PoliticHatBlog\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ThePoliticalHat\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Whither The Latino Vote?\"\/><meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"One of the demographic groups that Donald Trump has been polling well with as of late is the Latino\/Hispanic vote.
