Paraphrased-
Tariq: I bet you identify as white
PR caller: No I don’t identify as white. Take my word as a man
Tariq: Dude 80% of your country claims their race as white. You assimilate into white Society. Do you or don’t you identify as white on your driver’s license, application forms?
PR Caller: welll umm yeah, I check “white”’because that’s the only option to select.
the whole convo became null
and void after that- then he begins to explain that’s Puerto Rican AND Mexican; which only serves to definitively identify himself as white
PR Caller: Bbbutt what about black on black crime and fatherlessness
Tariq- the crime rate in Puerto Rico is double that in the states, you didn’t stay in your country to help solve that, you left and came over here for what foundational black Americans built. Why aren’t you coming up with solutions in PR? You let Trump throw paper towels at you to clean up after a hurricane, over here Black Americans fight their oppressors, we don’t make excuses for them.
