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.
Today, I'll be tweeting alternative titles for that Defending Columbus piece, using the hashtag #LatinoRebelsThinkPiece. Please join me.
