@aurabogado @InsurgentPrieta what is a non-black Latina?! Is that a phrase that people are actually using in academic discourse?

@aurabogado@InsurgentPrieta I also agree that Afro-Latinos as well as Indigenous Latinos have been marginalized under that inst. racism -
@seary1 This is absolutely true. I can't begin to explain what my people have gone through. That said, we get to the US...@InsurgentPrieta -
@seary1 ... and practice anti-blackness just like we did at home. There's not denying that.@InsurgentPrieta -
@aurabogado@InsurgentPrieta I think there's an assumption that if you're a "white Latino" you benefit &want to benefit from white privilege -
@seary1 Umm.. Not an assumption. It's a fact. Just turn on Univision.@InsurgentPrieta -
@aurabogado@InsurgentPrieta your basing your argument on what you see on TV?! What about people on the front lines?? -
@seary1 You know who was on the front lines? George Zimmerman. I've heard enough for a lifetime.@InsurgentPrieta -
@aurabogado@InsurgentPrieta oh please

@aurabogado@InsurgentPrieta my mother is white my father is black - use of the phrase non-anything is personally offensive to me. -
@seary1 So then your conversation is about how you are offended. Which is separate from my and@InsurgentPrieta's tones. -
@seary1 Again, can't speak for@InsurgentPrieta, but my tone's pretty turned down. Still unsure how using "non-black Latina" is offensive. -
@aurabogado@seary1 el que se pica es que aji come..... *shrugs* -
@InsurgentPrieta@aurabogado I don't even know what that means. Never heard that phrase before

@aurabogado@InsurgentPrieta but that's neither here nor there... I've never seen that phrase before, I found "white Latino" problematic too -
@seary1@aurabogado do you find the phrase black Latino to be problematic?! -
@InsurgentPrieta@aurabogado I actually do find Black Latino problematic today and I used to refer to myself has a Black Latina for decades -
@seary1 So what terms should we use instead to confront the ways in which non-black Latino/as oppress black people?@InsurgentPrieta -
@aurabogado@InsurgentPrieta we can talk about whiteness and blackness in the Latino community, we can talk about racism all that w/o labels -
@seary1 You just used labels. Please try again.@InsurgentPrieta -
@aurabogado@InsurgentPrieta I'm playing your game now honey... That seems to be what works for this convo -
@seary1 A conversation that necessitates words that you don't want to use. Ok.@InsurgentPrieta - 2 more replies
