      Or just trying to write how lynching has hurt many communities of color in the US, including Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans. #factshttps://twitter.com/LouDaPlug/status/1272675197318029312 …

      Do the math @RussContreras, nearly all immigrants came after the 1965 Immigration Act. Only Native Americans were here in any real numbers before that. Lynchings were nearly always used to police & terrorize Blacks-the ex slaves. Stop trying to shoehorn POC into our history.

      US took Mexico in 1848. Not only were there Native people living on those lands but also people of Mexican ancestry. This of course was decades before 1965. (My people were here in 1800s too).

      "Historians say that from 1910 to 1920, an estimated 5,000 people of Mexican descent were killed or vanished in the U.S. Often the violence was so barbaric it attracted the attention of newspapers abroad and the fledgling NAACP. Then, it was forgotten."https://apnews.com/b8516a3d80ef40da97afd3a9e4f7d706?fbclid=IwAR3IvvuT63yM9ncQ5rtkLlGOGbCDnLKl9taJ9rjmLFbNvJo5YJlj__AQRDg …
