Take a few moments to read it...
In terms of some of the hostilities, it is clear that there are problems in the big
cities, based on a tradition of racial and ethnic division.
And when you looked at the Los Angeles election, in the previous round, James Hahn
had beat Villaraigosa handily, partly by drawing on the loyalties of the black community
to Hahn’s father, an image of Villaraigosa as one step away from a gang member, right,
and the San Fernando Valley’s sort of anxieties about the Latino community. And in the
second round, Villaraigosa prevailed with a very fragile coalition, but primarily because
Hahn had managed to alienate so many constituencies in a four-year period by firing
Bernard Parks, the black police chief; by vigorously opposing the secession of the Valley.
And therefore, now Villaraigosa steps in with the chance to mend some of these racial
and ethnic divisions, particularly the distrust between the black and Latino communities,
which we see in other cities as well. And one of the big, big questions is will he do it?
Will he be able to pull that together? One of our panelists isn’t here today because he is
going to be on the team that Villaraigosa is putting together.
But it seems very clear, that for Latinos in particular, the tensions with the black
community are a big problem, in part, because many Latinos feel that blacks weren’t
willing to share power in municipalities with Latinos; some sense that Latinos have been
closed out from municipal jobs.
