Too many of us were raised by parents who told us that we should be fearful of black people. Non-black Latino people, I'm looking at you.
@moe07kiss But non-black Latinos have a proximity to whiteness that we exploit at the cost of black folks. And that's not ok.

@aurabogado wow thank for the insight. I didn't know that, your would think POC would stick together, that's what black parents teach their -
@moe07kiss I think that for younger generations, we do want to "stick together," but we also have to work to undo what our parents taught us
-
@aurabogado yea that's why I think a lot of young ppl who are racist are not because of experience but it was taught by their parents. -
@moe07kiss But once we grow up, we have the responsibility to really confront this.
-
@aurabogado your right we all have to grow together, learn from each other, and fight and kill racism and stereotypes together
