Not based on handouts and dependence on govt or other welfare, no.
But based on microlending and business training and mentorship, ownership of property and self-govt, yes.
Economist Hernando de Soto lobbied for migrant workers to be able to own the land they worked in order to break the cycle of oppression and poverty.
Hernando de Soto (economist) - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Native tribes have long fought the govt for return of their original lands and sovereignty.
Muhammad Yunus won the 2006 Nobel Prize for over 30 years of work in uplifting impoverished areas and families out of poverty through microlending through the Grameen Bank Foundation

Both Obama and Ben Carson advocate for microlending as a sustainable solution to ending poverty instead of handouts.
So why isn't this happening?
Because political parties have pitted people against each other by fear of class and beliefs, the rich blaming the poor and the poor blaming the rich, so both groups stay enslaved like field slaves and house slaves never uniting to overthrow the corporate masters running the game.
What people miss while fighting symbolic wars in the media is that solutions on both sides, left and right, actually agree. Both Sean Hannity a self-proclaimed Conservative and the Greens such as the far left Bernie Sanders supporters both want locally owned and run COOPERATIVES for sustainable and cost effective health care.
The workers unions recently called to split from the Democrats and to unite all workers from all parties to demand rights and restore economic justice.
The key factor is OWNERSHIP of land property and businesses, which is what the Black conservatives have been arguing is the solution - NOT DEPENDENCE ON GOVT FOR RIGHTS which is how the left generally approaches and defines political rights.
At this point, I believe we'd have to form agreements to set up whole city states along the border, and independently self-governing districts in cities where these minority populations have risen up against being sent to prisons and detention centers for criminal and immigration violations.
And let restitution for any crimes be invested in rebuilding communities and businesses owned and managed by these minority populations themselves. instead of their only choice being to depend on govt, handouts or welfare to exercise their rights. Why not let people invest their labor directly into ownership? Then like the Founding Fathers and colony settlers before our time, all people can experience and express an equal sense of ownership and empowerment and no longer have to fight against the establishment for that power. It comes from building and governing your own communities, cities, and states yourself.
So yes, on that political foundation, this level of ownership and self-governance can empower not only Blacks and Hispanics but all workers and individuals to be as empowered as any corporate leader or organization that has collective leverage.
