Can we talk about how Latino anti-blackness informed Dylann Roof's racism? Because there sure has been a lot of silence about this.
-
-
That avowed white supremacists can tolerate some non-black Latinos indicates the degree to which we can absorb some privileges of whiteness.
-
Dylann Roof also points out how Latino media preferences whiteness. Dude was probably watching

Make no mistake about it: Dylann Roof was more honest about Latino investment in whiteness than most Latinos are even willing to admit.
-
Dylan Roof did his research, observed Latino media, looked at white people in the South America with am emphasis on places like Argentina.
-
Yet the dominant narrative is that Dylann Roof also hated (non-black) Latinos. This is so opportune and typical of us. Damn.
-
Look. Dylann Roof's hatred of black people is based on defending a Latino man, George Zimmerman. This is shitty, but true.
-
As non-black Latinos, we can highlight Dylann Roof hated some of us. But, to be honest, we have to admit that he sided with some of us, too.
-
Dylann Roof didn't mentioned Latino immigrants. He didn't complain about people speaking Spanish. And he didn't shoot up a Latino church.
-
As non-black Latinos, when we say that Dylann Roof hates people of color, we're doing the violence of erasing black victims.
-
This is why confronting anti-blackness among Latinos is so immediate. When it feels hard and uncomfortable, think about Charleston.
-
When we non-black Latinos feel like dealing with anti-blackness is hard, remember that this is a matter of life and death for black people.
