@aurabogado@bani_amor Yup! Cuz if we do we are forced to look at our complacency in white supremacy. -

@aurabogado it is *definitely* prevalent in the Tejano community. Will whisper *thats not right* but will won't step up. -
@the_danyel Yet we expect good white people to step up for us, right? Too convenient. -

@aurabogado Can we start with the fact that a lot of Latinos don't even acknowledge their "Blackness". None of the Dominicans I knew did. -
@LoFiAndWhatNot No. I'm not here to opine about the decisions that black Latinos do or do not make. -
@aurabogado People are free to self-identify however they want. If they don't consider themselves Black Latinos, then they're not.
