    It didn’t say anything about Black culture. I’m talking about old skool RnB, which Chicanos are saving. Go to any Smokey Robinson or Zapp concert and look at the audience. Chicanos and Natives, brother.https://twitter.com/brill_inst/status/973340101051785217 …

    Why do you believe Black people have abandoned our culture, and I don't think you have reason to be thanked for saving what was not lost. https://twitter.com/RussContreras/status/973339866262982656 …

        @brill_inst He said "saving"? That's why I hate when people use that POC term as some sort of default label of mutual regard. Hispanic doesn't automatically mean not-white in race, nor perception of racial hierarchy. We don't even "deserve" our own culture; they think they do.

        @brill_inst If they were into "saving black culture" in any way, there'd be a lot more afro-mexicanos and a lot less racism among them. Don't worry, as soon as the fear of team trump lessens, most will revert back to "we are white and just speak spanish."

        This is from my friend @Kiriende You go to those same concerts on the East Coast, South and Mid-Atlantic and you see wall-to-wall black folks in those same concerts because that's where most black people live in high concentrations.

        @brill_inst Imma have to let the elders know that without these folks RnB would have disappeared already. Wait till I tell them that someone has informed me that Chicanos now "own" Smokey Robinson. That'll get some "comments."

        I've heard how desperate some are for great music, but no need to go all wanna-be white citizens council about it. So folks wandered into the KKKountry music bars, got kicked out, Spain won't share, so we seem the easiest targets? People can't enjoy music w/o being colonizers?
