As non-black latinxs, we need to acknowledge the degree to which we perpetuate anti-blackness for our own benefit.

You *know* what I'm talking about: the anti-black slurs, the "jokes," the expectation that we always date someone with lighter skin.

We're complete hypocrites if we, as non-black latinxs, ever expect white people to show up for us if we don't show up for black people!

Yeah... I'm looking through Jeronimo Yanez's social media and yes: he's very much latinx (in case there was any doubt).

If you're a non-black latinxs and have been silent, I want to urge you to find the words. Not just on social media but with friends, family.
