Relationships between Blacks and Latinos have sometimes been strained. People with brown skin have the same shortcomings and vulnerabilities as those of us with white skin—that includes the seven deadly sins.

When Barak Obama used “Yes, we can” as his mantra in the New Hampshire concession speech, he was really saying “Si, se puede.”
