In part. Im dominican and got a lot of racist family memeber who don't listen when I spit that real. They refuse to accept there history and how white people look at them but they are so brainwashed, only so much I can do.

On this unity shyt I think it's best if black and brown and Muslim and arabics and anyone who gets profiled regularly to stand together.
I'm
Dominican and I've been marching and protesting since Eric garner feel me.

Only online is my nationality an issue with ya armchair revolutionist.

When I'm in these streets I'm welcomed for real.
99% of the people posting here aren't doing shyt but posting. Anyone actually organizing and struggling would know better than to turn someone who's ready to help them away

"Other factors are the traditions of conservatism in the Latino community, and not wanting to challenge authority,” Carrillo said. “Particularly people fleeing from oppressive governments – they’re afraid to challenge this government.”

The cause and the effect.

Y'all gotta just push or ingrain it into the youth that you gotta stand tall for what you believe in. Because this shyt is beyond pathetic how the bodies of black, brown and indefenious people are treated in regards to police brutality.
It's true and messed up.
Mexicans in particular are going to continue to dominate the latino population and it will likely be the 2nd, 3rd, 4th generations of their families that make the push (economically, socially, or whatever) to change things...particularly in the southwest

Well you have to understand race and how it classified in America. A lot of y'all are classified as white in America. Your community classified as white. Even thought much of your pop is mestizo. Many of you all should be checking the mixed race box or Native American box. Y'all in need understand race in your community and white supremacy in your own communities before to can tackle the police problems in america.
:mjlol: Where in the fukk does this happen?:russ: No where I have been has anyone ever said, "hey whiteboy". I'd be ashamed if they did. :sadcam:

There are some latinos that have white skin and unless people could identify certain features..or unless they spoke...people would think they were white americans.

:manny:

Goodness, look at fukkin Juanes...
If that goofball said he was French, who would question it?

Of course some have white skin. Being light skinned isn't exclusive to just Blacks. But then again, all latinos aren't even from the same continent. In that regard, you can't even compare Blacks and Latinos. I don't even call myself Latino. I refuse to acknowledge myself by a whitemans label. Funny story. My mom is very light skinned. She told me the other day a co worker asked if she was German. :mjlol: She was pissed. :heh: We started calling her Helga Sauerkraut.:krs:

True.

shyt, I'm Dominican and I get mistaken for Arab/Indian.

Actually one time I was in Peru and some girl asked if I was Mexican.
I was insulted. :rudy:


Not because she thought I was Mexican :whoa:

I was insulted because I'm 6'4.
What Mexican have you seen that is 6'4? :heh:


I'm just teasing, breh

You can immediately tell who's not about that action on here. Every activist I've ever talked to and worked with has NEVER turned away a brown ally.

That's true, but that doesn't change the fact that the majority of the Latino community is treated here in the United States as a racial other, especially including Afro-Latinos. White supremacy is hierarchical, and some folks just try to get in where they fit. In Latin American countries that's the lighter-skinned folks. In some African countries it used to be lighter skinned black people who were favored, same as British India if I'm not mistaken. It's colonialism, which Latino people did not invent.

Oppression of black and indegenous Latino people is a significant problem that's especially poignant to me because my ancestry is from Bolivia, a majority indegenous and dark-skinned place that until recently has been ruled by a tiny white Hispanic elite. It's fukked up and needs to change ASAP, and there's been some efforts to try to turn it around. But don't judge an entire, mostly marginalized and darker skinned community here in the United States off of the actions of a minority of light skinned people who benefit, perpetuate, and indoctrinate in white supremacy.

Look at who the real enemy is.
Do you think there is internalized racism within the Latino community? If so, do you not think they bring that mentality to the states? Correct me if I'm Wrong but I have not seen a major resistance in latinamerica against white supremacy. I feel like there needs to be some kind of nationally recognized resistance against white supremacy in Latin America. You cant fight white supremacy in another country if your willing to let it go unchecked with your own home country. Especially in America where the conflict is rooted in anti blackness not anti Latino or brown. The fact of the matter is black people are on the opposite end of the scale when it comes white supremacy world wide. We look nothing like white people. Therefore it's a lot harder for blacks to asslimate in to white supremacy like Latinos even the brown ones.

Evo Morales, president of Bolivia is completely against white supremacy and imperialism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evo_Morales

I'm sure every Latin country has less successful but still existing examples. There's movements everywhere. You just haven't heard of them.

Racism is internalized in every colonized culture. It was literally forced upon them by rape and violence. Why blame all Latinos instead of the source, white imperialists?
