In an interview with Tracy Rowlett, noted Latino community activist Adelfa Callejo told CBS 11 that Hispanics would not support a Black candidate in the Texas primary.
“Obama has the problem that he happens to be Black,” said Callego when asked if it was smart for Senator Barack Obama to reach out to Latino voters.
“When Blacks had the numbers, they didn’t do anything to support us,” said Callejo. “They always used our numbers to fulfill their goals and objectives, but they never really supported us, and there’s a lot of hard feelings about that. I don’t think we’re going to get over it anytime soon.”
