Democrats fall flat with ‘Latinx’ language

Original Article

Posted By: NorthernDog, 12/6/2021 10:47:57 AM

As Democrats seek to reach out to Latino voters in a more gender-neutral way, they’ve increasingly begun using the word Latinx, a term that first began to get traction among academics and activists on the left. But that very effort could be counterproductive in courting those of Latin American descent, according to a new nationwide poll of Hispanic voters. Only 2 percent of those polled refer to themselves as Latinx, while 68 percent call themselves “Hispanic” and 21 percent favored “Latino” or “Latina” to describe their ethnic background, according to the survey from Bendixen & Amandi International, a top Democratic

Try explaining to a Hispanic audience they need a 'gender neutral' term. LOL.

I kept trying to figure out what a Latinx was. Was it a LGBTQ Hispanic person? Was it a radical liberal Hispanic person? A Gender neutral Hispanic person? Nobody knew? The Democrats have the compulsive need to put everyone into boxes that they must fit and conform to in order to fit the liberal Democrat socialist world view. What's next? Polishx, Japanix, Chinax, Indianx, Muslimx, Swedex.....

Hispanics have a very masculine male population. You can't just neuter them without a fight. And their women will join right in.

To the Demon-Rats, Hispanics are just more of the ignorant peasants that need to be kept on the welfare plantation and taken care of. The Demon-Rats could care less about Hispanic culture. The Demon-Rats will tell these Hispanic peasants what is best for them!!! Hopefully, more and more of the Hipsanics will wake up and realize how they are being used. The Republicans offer all people (regardless of their race, creed, or color) the chance to succeed based on education and hard work. And the fact that the Republicans are saying that loud and clear totally scares the Demon-Rats to death!!!

What everyone here said. Have at it with the idiocy, Democrats. The Hispanic population could care less. Actually, we can all do our part. Tell your Hispanic friends the truth: that the new term says that men aren't men and women aren't women. Seriously. We can easily win this Culture War battle and get more Hispanics to see what idiots liberals are. Tell them they find machismo toxic and want to eliminate it from culture. Tell them Gringos are offended by the gender roles they have in their culture. We really have to act. It's how the left wins their battles.

A term thought up by a woke whyte person...for people that speak zero Latin, and prefer to be considered Spanish, which is a European country, not a central or south American one. The change was make up for their "Oppression" by Americans, yet their ONLY conquerors/Oppressors were from Spain, and they were driven out many generations ago...by Americans. "Hispanic"?? Don't cha think "Herspanic" or "Theyspanic" is mucho/mucha/muchx better?.

Is a Latinx a Spanish speaking German from Uruguay? How about a Spanish speaking Irish person from Chile? A Spanish speaking Japanese person from Peru? And what about the Portuguese speaking people from Brazil? Don't they have a definition?

Being an American English-speaker, when I first saw the term 'Latinx', I tried to sound it out phonectically. The result rhymes with 'stinks'. So I figured it was just another racist term used by Democrats. Probably aimed at Hispanics. The Democrats are still sore about losing their slaves and continue their racist ways...

The stupidest aspect of this is that there is no reason to use foreign adjectives like Latino or Latina. We have a word in English that has no gender. The adjective is “latin.”

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — A Black family’s successful fight to reclaim a picturesque stretch of Southern California shoreline has ignited a national movement, with activists eyeing White-owned properties around the country they say rightfully belong to African Americans. A landmark law signed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Sept. 30 provided for a seaside park in Manhattan Beach to be returned to the Bruce family, which owned the land before the city used eminent domain to seize it in 1924. The victory was hailed as a watershed moment, the first example of Black people forcing the return of property

GREELEY, Colo. — A Walmart store in Colorado was evacuated after a shoplifter deployed bear spray against several employees, police said Sunday. Officers responded to the Greeley Wal-Mart Sunday afternoon after receiving multiple reports about bear spray being deployed. Workers had tried to detain a male shoplifter but he allegedly assaulted them, spayed them with the bear spray and then fled in a vehicle prior to the arrival of police. Emergency crews treated at least five people for exposure to bear spray, which can painfully irritate a person’s eyes, skin and lungs. The store was evacuated as a safety precaution

That's one reason Abrams is confident that the result will be different this time, despite a national political wind that has shifted to Republicans' backs following the election of Joe Biden to the presidency in 2020 and Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock to the Senate in January.

U.S. officials believe Russia is planning a multi-front military invasion of Ukraine, involving as many as 175,000 troops, as soon as early 2022, Fox News has confirmed. The U.S. is taking recent signaling from the Kremlin very seriously, and does not consider the matter a bluff, a senior U.S. defense official told Fox News. Russia already has about 100,000 troops stationed along its border with Ukraine, the defense official said. When asked about the report Friday, President Biden vowed the U.S. would make it "very, very difficult" for Russian President Vladimir Putin to carry out the plan. "We’ve been aware

The threat of an invasion will be the central subject of President Biden’s video call with Putin on Tuesday. Biden is expected to warn of dire consequences should Russia follow through with a military offensive, while Putin is expected to reiterate his ultimatum that NATO should not allow Ukraine to join its military alliance. The outcome of the video call could have major implications as Putin weighs the potential costs of a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine.

Don’t take it from me that getting boosted is a good idea. Take it from the GOP’s new political hero. The Wall Street Journal asked around among doctors to get a sense of whether the boosters are working. Are you seeing many patients with COVID who’ve had three doses, the paper inquired? A few here and there, they replied, as we’d expect based on the data showing 90+ percent protection against infection, not 100. But they’re rare and mild, typically involving hospital care only if the patient is elderly. Which sounds familiar. That’s the same posture the country faced in the first few months of the vaccine rollout this year,

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is apparently convinced that the shoplifting and smash-and-grab robberies in California are a myth. But they are real, perversely spectacular, and likely to spread across the country if they remain unchecked. The retail heart of San Francisco, with its abundance of luxury shops, is usually overflowing with commerce at this time of the year. Instead, it’s become a “ghost town.” “Widespread ‘flash mob’ looting turned Union Square – the city’s most fashionable shopping district – into an area resembling a blighted neighborhood in Detroit,” Michael Shellenberger writes in a recent New York Post op-ed.
