So republicans are now calling Hispanics white

[SupaDupaFresh]

I consider my senator Rev Warnock to be an ally, although I think he can do more. Him fighting for black farmers was impressive to me. Im voting for a democrat named Tamara Johnson-Sheleay come midterms, as I feel she’s an ally that looks to improve wealth for black Americans.

Humble yourself. You’re not the smartest in the room like you think you are. Now go on and go on an emotional tantrum about how I’m right winged!!!1

Breh...I'll just say it would take all of 5 minutes to prove that not only does your Senator and Tamara share the exact same political goals as Cortez--certainly as far as closing the wealth gap between African Americans and whites, making corporations pay their fair share anf relieving the financial burdens of largely African American families, holding law enforcement accountable--Cortez may in fact be further to the left of them. At least openly.

Between Warnock and Cortez, there's only one person in the room who has stated explicitly the need to pay reparations to those descended from slaves in America, and it wasn't Warnock. If you love what Warnock was able to sneak into Covid relief funds you'd flip your shyt at what AOC wants for her proposed green new deal.

Cortez is the baddest bytch in Congress right now and one of the biggest and most vocal fighters of racial equality and financial equity to African Americans in Washington. Anyone asserting other wise doesn't get politics and is just talking out their ass about this woman to be provocative.

And I don't play the silly litmus test "cancel" games of thecoli. I understand very well the brother Warnock is representing a red state in the Senate and doesn't have the room to be pigeonheld to reparations and other leftist ideals like AOC can here in my city, unlike most of TLR that just don't get politics at all and eager to bash anyone to the left of Trump. It doesn't make him a "c00n" or "not doing enough" at all. I am proud to have both Warnock and Cortez representing us in Congress and I continue to support liberal candidates of all ethnic backgrounds.

The fact she is so vocal about black issues and economic justice is the reason she's such a frequent target of losers like Carlson. They love to mock real liberals and pro-black lawmakers like her and Elizabeth Warren as delusional phonies that don't realize they're not black. Since having empathy for the justice claims of other people is some foreign concept on Fox News and TLR...."HYON" if you will. Proud of this Puerto Rican BX boricua doin the damn thing all day. Keeping these white conservatives and apparently Coli nikkas pressed.

But let me back off since you think I'm all about trying to prove I'm smarter than anyone. When you call yourself pro-black but somehow find yourself co-signing the biggest white nationalists on TV without critical though I think that speaks for itself. I just wanna chime in, that's all.

This is pure ignorance

Explain My mom's and her 3 sisters then. They have "black" parents by YOUR definition yet they came out AOC complexion, but by YOUR definition they are SPICY CACS

It's crazy how a lot of ya don't see the parallels between the way white people view you and the way some of you on this site view hispanics

Do we have a sub section of hispanics with domininant euro genes, are 2nd-3rd generation in this country, and like to think themselves as "white americans". Absolutely. But they don't represent hispanics at all, they represent the little bubble they are in, they don't represent me, my fam or the majority of latinos.

I guarantee you grab a white looking hispanic like BAD BUNNY, who was just living in the hood in Puerto Rico until he blew up about 5 years ago, and ask him if he thinks he's white. He's going to look at you like your fukking crazy, to HIM hes BORICUA and he would die on that sword

Let me do the same, let me take a small group of racist black people and use them to represent black people as a whole. Ya would look at me like I'm crazy

I would say ya need to stop doing that shyt, but this site is fukking retarded when it comes to hispanics

But then she and others here got the nerve to talk about "let them fight. Not my problem. HYON." Except she completely held her own without asking for anyone's help to begin with. Swatting away these bitter white boys who hate her for indeed being so pro-black in Congress is damn near half her job description nowadays. Let this leftist Puerto Rican woman and other Puerto Ricans in America hold themselves down on this one.

But THEY decided they want to jump in, take a side, and insert themselves into this discussion. And of course they jumped in to side with the sentiments of white nationalist Tucker Carlson. They spend all of 2016-2020 inserting themselves into every discussion on Mexican immigrants claiming they don't care about the topic Coli, it's not their fight, but then siding vigorously with Trump-Republican-conservative ideology any way, calling anyone who disagrees a big c00n despite having no dog in the fight. Even committing to not vote over the issue.

If we kept out of Hispanic issues, focused on black issues, and voted accordingly, we'd end up voting against Republicans alongside most Hispanic voters anyway. So let's disguise a clear bias for the views of Conservatives with some psuedo militant "we gotta look out for ourselves" rhetoric.

Coli niccas should take their own advice and just stfu about politics and politicians already. Or they need to finally admit they are NOT impartial to political topics and, as proud stalwart BLACK AMURICUNS, align more with white power conservatives than liberals and other minorities. All people have politics. Just save us the psuedo intellectual takes and admit to yours.

I told myself I’d fall back from this thread but bruh I so strongly disagree with this. Purely anecdotal but my experience with Puerto Rican folk has always been congenial. It ain’t because I’m lusting after that lady. There’s a pretty implicit understanding that they’re just mixed with a bunch of shyt. You can see members of the same immediate family have all types of complexions. I’m not suggesting some don’t identify as white or that AOC is black or whatever the label.

There is a reason certain actors don’t want to grant the island statehood. There is a reason that when Puerto Rico was devastated by a hurricane - just like your hometown - aid was slow to come. Think about these things. They don’t necessarily need to be “black” for parallels to be drawn to our own experience here in America. But now we’re casually calling them privileged white folk and spicey cacs? Make it make sense.

Maybe you've missed my other posts on the matter but I mentioned nothing about privilege nor did I make the claim that all Puerto Ricans are white. I'm speaking specifically about one Puerto Rican woman, AOC. She is a white Hispanic.

first off white passing doesn't exist secondly you guys do know the world is bigger than america right, there exists places which do not subscribe americans customs you know that right? she would at the very least be able to blend right in one of these Mediterranean countries which are listed below

Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Libya, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Morocco, Slovenia, Spain, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey.

I’ve only been to France, Italy, Morocco, Spain and Turkey from that list. I’m not sure precisely what you mean by blend right in, but if you mean “pass” as a native, no she would not. Moreover, the natives of these different countries do not look alike.

But this is all irrelevant to the sole point I’ve made throughout this thread, which is that in America, Puerto Ricans are not considered white. I completely agree with you that race is viewed through a different lens in different countries. Perhaps AOC would be considered white in China? I don’t know. I don’t care
Race is, of course, an artificial construct and the artificial lines are drawn differently in other places around the world.

Can you link me to an American news source, whether print or video, where AOC is described as white? Or white hispanic?

Absolutely not.

 

[mobbinfms]

Absolutely not.

You should have replied with the Tucker Carlson video and put at the end of your post

 

[Matt504]

You should have relied with the Tucker Carlson video and

I actually thought about it but my opinion about her being a white Hispanic predates him saying it.

 

[El Bombi]

That looks like a Mexican family to the vast majority of Americans, they don’t look white

Mexican isn't a race you dumbass Shill.

 

[El Bombi]

This looks like a Mexican family.

And this Mexican family still checked White Hispanic on the census.

 

[mobbinfms]

Are you arguing Mexicans are also considered white in America?

You can’t divorce privilege from this discussion since that’s the entire reason Tucker invoked her supposed “whiteness”. Now you being disingenuous. The question is whether she’s viewed as a white woman in America. And is she (or other Latinos/Hispanics that look like her) a beneficiary of said whiteness? That’s the subtext here. I’ve stated why I think it’s a fallacious GOP talking point but nikkas keep circling back to “she fair skindeded tho” .

He said she's a privileged white woman, you're mistakenly taking that to mean he's suggesting that her privilege is a product of her whiteness which would also imply that Tucker believes in white privilege. While I believe he does, his public positions are quite the opposite.



In any event, I'm less concerned about Tucker's motives here because the basic claim that she's a white woman isn't incorrect. She is a white woman and is also hispanic.

What makes a person white or black in America anyway?

shyt, can I be white!?

Folks Gender Fluid out here…can I be racial fluid?

AI0t 0f things in america

Some of yall try to make Latino/Hispanic to be these native-american looking people. To answer your question yes many Latino/Hispanic people are considered white in America. For many of them a simple name change covers up all that shyt.
