(TW: racist violence) A non-Black Latino held a Black man that was delivering food at gun point. We have to talk about the anti-Blackness that& #39;s in our communities.

It’s easy to absolve ourselves from racist violence just bc we call ourselves Latinos.1/4

But what do we do as a community when our non-Black Latinos are the ones perpetuating racist violence?

It& #39;s not enough to say we don& #39;t condone this or that we& #39;re against it, we have to take a hard look at ourselves and hold the racists in our communities accountable. 2/4

We have to unlearn the anti-Blackness that has never been addressed in our communities. Doing this work means educating ourselves and our families. 3/4

It means telling your friend "hey cut that out!" when they say slurs in either English or Spanish (you know exactly which ones we& #39;re talking about).

It means confronting our families about micro-aggressions.

Most importantly, it means putting in the work and time. 4/4
