Why are Hispanics Fleeing the Democratic Party?

The Democrats who run the City of Dallas have decided to paint 'All Black Lives Matter' on six major intersections in minority areas throughout southern parts of the city. A local non-profit has agreed to fund the maintenance of the street murals for the next ten years. Presumably, the murals will be an inspiration to the area's Black children as they walk to school each day. What I think the Democrats are missing is the fact that twice as many Hispanic children will pass by those messages each day as Black children. Have they considered how they will feel? How about their parents?

The class of 2031, currently in second grade, will be the first children to grow up in neighborhoods where the city has painted murals on the street declaring that 'All Black Lives Matter'. Hispanics represent more than 42% of the population of Dallas while Blacks represent just 24% and in those communities, Hispanic children outnumber Black children by more than 2:1. Each day Hispanic children and their parents will drive over these murals. Those murals will be there when they graduate from elementary school. They will be there when they complete middle school. They will be there when they start their freshman year and they'll be there when they attend prom. Every day for the next decade of their lives Hispanic children in Dallas will read these words: 'All Black Lives Matter'.

When they first see the murals will these second graders ask their parents if their lives matter too? What will their parents say? What should they say? Do their lives matter as much as Black lives? Why exclude Hispanic children from the sentiment? We all know that suggesting that 'All Lives Matter' is somehow racist and bigoted, but surely we could find a way to help Hispanic children know their lives are just as important as their Black friends. Right?

More than half of Hispanic voters have rejected the Democratic Party and now identify as Republicans. How many more voters will the Democrats lose as they bring their culture war to the streets of Dallas? I contend that painting 'All Black Lives Matter' murals throughout minority communities in Dallas will further build resentment between Hispanic children and their parents and the Democratic Party. I wouldn't be surprised if the Hispanic graduates of 2031 turned their back completely against the party of division and hate: the Democrats.

P.S. The only good news is that around 2.5% of Hispanics identify as Black in the United States. Each day the 97.5% of Hispanic kids who live in the six largest Hispanic neighborhoods must navigate streets freshly painted with the message 'All Black Lives Matter' but at least 2.5% of these Hispanic kids can take comfort that, at least partially, their lives matter.
