Some thoughts on LRT:
When @bad_dominicana tweets on anti-blackness she's called crazy x non-black Latinos.
Me? I almost always get love.

And it's important to keep in mind that they are the same words. The same ideas. The same tone.
-
And that's because I've come to grapple with my own anti-blackness because of
@bad_dominicana and other black Latinas.

@aurabogado --- ah, ok. Do you have any African roots? Don't mean to pry...@bad_dominicana -
@Stormy_Perez I do have some black ancestry but no one would ever confuse me for black so I don't identify as black.@bad_dominicana -
@Stormy_Perez That said, when I cut my hair real shirt some people assume I'm real light skin black.@bad_dominicana
