latino vote

A question that came up was "Will Latinos vote for an African American?". Hillary affirmed this view as an historical fact. It might be well for her to remember that to inspire is to "rise above" as Bobby Kennedy did in a speech titled "Mindless Menace of Violence"

When you teach a man to hate and fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color or his beliefs or the policies he pursues, when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom or your job or your family, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens but as enemies, to be met not with cooperation but with conquest; to be subjugated and mastered.
