        @aurabogado not a single Latino I know has ever discussed on our blasé racism. It's a damn shame.

        @AwkwardLatina And when black women (and black Latinas especially) point it out, we non-black Latinos derail, derail, derail.

        @PalmTreesnGz I can imagine, esp bc as non-black Latinos, we face our own oppression. But it's time to be real about our anti-blackness...
