Why?

I would love to know why many minorities especially Blacks and Latinos are always competing with one another. Despite the fact that there are various scarce resources for people of color, it boggles my mind that there is constant bickering/hatred among people of color who are doing good for themselves. 
Instead of standing alone and being divided, I believe it would be better to stand together and unite. As cliche as it sounds, everything works better in numbers. United we stand and divided we fall. At the end of the day, people of color have way more in common with each other than they have with Whites. There is a common denominator known as struggle that minorities have had to endure, which is why it is so bothersome that many Latinos, Blacks, Arabs and Asians are at odds with one another. 
I don't have raw numbers, but I'm speaking based on observation.
I can't change the world, I can simply express how I feel and be the individual that I was always raised to be. I can't and won't follow the crowd or the hype, I will ALWAYS follow what I see fit. 
I said it before and I will say it again, 

 "I am for truth no matter who tells it, and for justice no matter who it's for or against."
Shout out to Malcolm X for that ever so sound and valid argument!
