But anyway, back to this trash article from
@latinorebels, which I literally lost sleep over. -
If we're to believe them,
@latinorebels ran this trash because they want to foster debate:http://www.latinorebels.com/2015/10/09/in-defense-of-columbus-day/ … -
But some things are not up for debate. For example, would
@latinorebels run a piece titled "In Defense of Rape" because fostering debate? -
Would
@latinorebels publish a piece titled "In Defense of White Cops Who Kill Black Teenagers"? Again, some things are not up for debate. -
And, as an indigenous person ON THIS DAY ESPECIALLY, I'm personally offended that
@latinorebels would run garbage like this. It's bullshit. -
But,
@latinorebels didn't just run one piece of shit piece defending Columbus. No. They milked our pain for much more than that. -
Aside from the piece defending Columbus,
@latinorebels ran a counter piece. Both written by men. Oh, and a podcast. Also hosted by a man. -
What
@latinorebels did is get three men to consider whether genocide should get a pass. Genocide which largely hinged on the rape of women. -
They really did this.
@latinorebels actually limited a conversation about which is largely about the systemic rape of women to men only. -
When I connect Columbus to systemic rape, I mean systemic rape. I mean pick Taíno women and literally beat and rape them,
@latinorebels. -
This is a part of our history as indigenous women. Euro men systemically raped my ancestors;
@latinorebels's men ONLY debate if that was ok. -
Fuck this. How in the entire fuck is this ok?
@latinorebels. Oh, and also: I'm just barely getting started. -
This defending Columbus shit is also about defending the enslavement of black peoples,
@latinorebels. In 2015. -
"Let's debate if it's ok to rape and enslave black peoples!" This is a new pinnacle of anti-blackness, right on
@latinorebels. -
This is an incredibly painful day for indigenous and black peoples in the Americas,
@latinorebels. That's not a fucking platitude, either. -
People take a day off in order to essentially celebrate the genocide of millions of indigenous and black peoples,
@latinorebels! -
This shit has deep psychological effects
@latinorebels. Yet, when you debate the genocide of our peoples, OUR PEOPLES AREN'T AT THE TABLE! -
This is such trash. Trash, trash, trash. Again, I've unfollowed
@latinorebels. I don't fuck with people who do this shit. -
Meanwhile,
@latinorebels is literally tweeting shit like, "Suck it, haters!" So rapey, it's making me cringe.https://twitter.com/latinorebels/status/653417186199998464 …
-
Oh, and
@latinorebels editor@MarlenaFitz was asking me to write a rebuttal. Fuck that. It's offensive to even ask me. -
You don't publish a piece that defends Christopher Fucking Columbus and then ask me to pitch to
@latinorebels. No@MarlenaFitz. No. -
I do think that this
@latinorebels defending Columbus bullshit is also a good indicator of where latinos are: not a good place. -
Alright, I'm getting to work soon. Again, I've unfollowed
@latinorebels. I'm not on some Stockholm shit trying to make nice with oppressors. -
Oh, so the
@latinorebels writer who defending Christopher Fucking Columbus is on the Twitter. @Marcantoni1984, your writing is trash. -
