Hackers in Miami targeted an electric billboard placing the slogan “No Latinos No Tacos” on a flashing construction sign on a major roadway in south Florida.

The sign was supposed to be displaying a message warning drivers that the coming exit was closed to traffic.

Officials attempted to change the text on the sign back to its intended message, but were unable to do so and were forced to simply turn off the sign. Miami police are investigating the incident.

South Florida is a heavily Latin influenced region of the United States. The city of Miami is an international city with Latinos coming from across Latin America.

Miami is a city run by Latinos,” said RT Producer Carmen Sesin in Miami.

Although some were offended, many simply brushed off the occurrence recognizing that the Latino population is the majority.

Americans who don’t speak Spanish are at a disadvantage here in Miami. It is almost Latin America,” said Sesin.

Nope it was not written by Latinos, bc most latinos in Miami do not eat or make tacos. America was never discovered by europeans. The Latino population is the fastest growing and is estimated that it will be the majority in 2050. Whats ironic is that the largest group of Latino's are of Mexican descent. About 95%Mexicans are mestizos meaning they are half european and half native. In essence the natives are taking their land back. Now watch the insecure poor, desparate, ignorant, cowardly,white biggots of this country go nuts. Notice I said white biggots, (not all white or european individuals are ignorant or biggots). I said cowardly because most racist biggots will act out when they are shielded by groups and when they feel they can get away with it. They need scape goats rather than to come up with solutions. Any who America is a melting pot and is a land made by immigrants (whether, european, asian or african). I come from a long line of latino descendents who have risked their lives serving in the military to preserve the democratic system instituted by our founding fathers. I have risked my own life serving as well. I as well as all Americans, (Latinos African American etc) who contribute to this country through hard work and dedication deserve to be acknowledged as rightful citizens of this country.

I think that RT reporting of this story is lacking in context. The United States is a nation founded on the principle of racial order. Take a look at the original language in the U.S. constitution. In there, a citizen was explicitly defined as white Anglo Saxon. In WWII, even as thousands of black soldiers were fighting for the liberation of Europe against the Third Reich, in more than half of the states in the United States, blacks could not enter public properties including recreation facilities used by whites. As late as 1965, legally sanctioned racial segregation was the law of land in more than half of states in the U.S. Hitler’s model for racial order and 1000 years of the Third Reich was modelled after the 1492 conquest of the Americas and 1000 years rule of The Third was ideology constituted in the model of the 1492 racial order reduced the local population but small portions of the subjugated population of “inferior races” for their exploitable labour. Thus, Hitler’s Lebensraum is similar to colonial theory of Manifest Destiny. Hitler’s racial theory drew from British and American pseudo-scientific racial imperatives of social Darwinism,racial conquest and racial domination. Thus, the laws that anybody with a drop of black blood has no right to citizenship or property were enacted in 1670s in the United States but similar laws only came to effects against Jews in in 1930s Germany under the terrorist rule of the Third Reich. A reported published few days ago shows that whites in the United States have 5x more chances to succeed in their careers and own homes and other assets than black Americans. When the economy is booming, it is possible to mask the foundations of racial order in the United States but in times of economic uncertainty, thinly masked racist feelings come out oozing into the public airwaves and in this case the public high ways.
