Black Americans expressed their frustration on social media after House Speaker agreed with Pres. Joe Biden saying “the Latino community is the future of America.”
Pelosi made the statement during her weekly press conference on Thursday, July 22.
“Well, you want to talk politics? Yeah, obviously the Latino community is the future of America,” Pelosi said. She then praised the congressional Hispanic caucus for going door-to-door to get out the vote for Biden in the presidential election.
Black Twitter was not happy.
One Twitter user wrote:
“Thank you to the Hispanic Caucus for proving to me that Latino issues take precedence over Black issues in America.”
Another user tweeted:
“Damn. Talk about benign neglect. Shameful. Yet they depend on Blacks to get them in office. We are now relegated to 4th class citizenship.”
And a third person wrote:
“They have to since Latinos don’t blindly vote for them 90% every election. They have to work for they’re votes so they are. Meanwhile they don’t have to do anything for the Black vote.”
Right there in your face. At this point if anybody deny their motives and they are black? They are sadly part of the 2/3rds that won’t make it.#TheChamp

They have to since Latinos don't blindly vote for them 90% every election. They have to work for they're votes so they are.
Meanwhile they don't have to do anything for the Black vote.
