@aurabogado I guess I'm uncomfortable with the way you are talking about race as non-black latino vs black latino. very binary.

@Shainaleh It's what makes sense for 140 characters. I can't spell out white Latinos, indigenous Latinos, Asian Latinos, and more every time -
Gotcha,
@aurabogado although I think it masks the various racialist and racist dynamics among latinos of mixed ancestry -
@Shainaleh But I'm less concerned about talking about that today. I'm concerned with the way non-black Latinos are anti-black. -
@aurabogado I mean there are a lot of latino communities (dominican americans for ex) where almost everyone has some afro ancestry -
@Shainaleh Right, I hear that. And don't forget that George Zimmerman's grandfather was black.
