As non-black Latinos, it's easier for us to pretend that George Zimmerman is white because it helps absolve us of our own anti-blackness.

It's so convenient that Zimmerman's last name is German af. Still doesn't make him white, tho.

I remember when non-black Latinos were waving "I am Trayvon Martin" signs. I more honest sign would have been "I am George Zimmerman."

Because until we non-black Latinos claim the ways in which we're anti-black, we won't undo the ways in which we're anti-black.
