Can we talk about how Latino anti-blackness informed Dylann Roof's racism? Because there sure has been a lot of silence about this.

-
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.
