Blacks as Anti-Immigrant Racists?

Probably not the meme one might expect in a Capt. Fogg thread, but here it is:
Captain, I share your feelings on a very personal level. My home state of North Carolina had a 300% increase in its Hispanic population as of the 2000 census. I expect that when all the 2010 numbers are in there will be another substantial increase. As the Hispanic population has increased, so has the bigotry against them. What I was not prepared for and still cannot fathom is the strength of African-American prejudice against Hispanics. Far too many of my people make the same bigoted commentary and enact the same disgraceful racism against Hispanics that we ourselves have suffered. For years, there has been a coalition of Blacks and Hispanics working together to combat this divide so all is not hopeless but I feel shame and frustration that such bias even exists. Being oppressed does not teach one to refrain from becoming an oppressor. This is one of the most dificult [sic] truths that I have had to face. It fills me with despair. If those who have sufferd [sic] the lash are willing to become wielders of the lash, then what hope is there for humankind?
Blacks vote Democrat overwhelming, ergo, Democrats as "wielders of the lash"? Oh, the humanity!

I wonder if Fogg banned this lady yet? There are serious consequences for breaking the narrative over there (that poor soul is headed to the camps!!).
