The problem with “Latinx 4 Black Lives” is that it erases Black Latinx narratives & fails 2 address the systemic anti-Blackness within the Latinx community

I wrote this piece calling 4 non-Black Latinx to self examine & address Latinx anti-Blackness https://www.latinxbioethics.com/latinx-blog/black-lives-matter-addressing-anti-blackness-in-the-latinx-community">https://www.latinxbioethics.com/latinx-bl...
Thx to @LatinXBioethics for supporting this work and conversation. It’s long overdue, messy and painful but it’s time we address this within ourselves y nuestra comunidad
Here& #39;s a fantastic piece by @lorgia_pena to also read!
"Anti- Blackness is a pandemic. It affects every nation. To be surprised that there is anti- Blackness among Latinx communities..is to misunderstand where racism comes from." https://nacla.org/news/2020/06/09/dismantling-anti-blackness-together">https://nacla.org/news/2020...

@Harvard “persistently excludes Black Latina/o/x faculty from their ranks and its centers. A review of faculty profiles in departments throughout the country reveals that there are few visible racial and ethnic minorities and even fewer Black Latina/o/xs.” https://twitter.com/teresitafz/status/1271424202239889408">https://twitter.com/teresitaf...
