@aurabogado hi, can u help steer me in right direction regarding "negr@" ? Outside of context, seen it as identifier & term of endearment &
@floresitas As a descriptor, it's fine.
"A group of black people were seen eating dinner." No problem.

@aurabogado ok I think that's where I misunderstood, that using the word anywhere was wrong. I think I understand now. So many afrolatinos -
@floresitas Happy to tweet more with you about it later. Gotta hop on a call :) -
@aurabogado definitely understand now. Thank you! I hate asking anyone to "teach" me anything so I appreciate u taking the time 2discuss :) -
@floresitas I have no problem talking about anti-blackness with other Latinos. Not teaching. Still learning. -
@aurabogado it's hard to realize how much anti-blackness there is within Latinos. It hasn't been easy to accept but I'm glad I'm learning.
