also important side note for my fellow latinx ppl : please i beg of you, sit down with your parents, friends, and peers and correct colorist and anti-black rhetoric. use the privilege and platform you have and be proactive in your own circle. you know that there is a big problem+

with racism in our homes and communities, and it often comes from decades of colorism and internalized oppression. please educate your parents/peers on why they can’t say the n word, please tell your parents and elders to stop using black ppl as way to curve misbehavior in kids.

if you wanna know how to be a better ally and maybe help others as well, @byersfilms made a pretty good thread i think (though i might be missing stuff) https://twitter.com/byersfilms/status/1265768645990526988?s=21 https://twitter.com/byersfilms/status/1265768645990526988
