It’s #LatinaEqualPayDay and again I ask, WHICH Latinas are paid 55 cents on the dollar?

I find it hard to believe that Negras are paid the same as Blancas or Mestizas. I understand the sentiment but I implore you to expand on this, WHICH?

We are not a monolith.

Besos

Pausing the besos to say, this is another example of why La RaZa LaTiNa is so dangerous, our experiences arent synonymous. #LatinaEqualPayDay

Negras can’t even be included in “afrolatinidad” it’s been hijacked by lightskinned & even white latinas. So if negras can’t even LaTiN the way y’all LaTiN.. were we even counted in this stat? My guess is no #negritadelbronx

Like, in Boston, MA the avg networth of gringos = $247,500. $12,000 for caribbean blacks, $3020 for

, $0 for

and $8 for African Americans https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/12/11/that-was-typo-the-median-net-worth-black-bostonians-really/ze5kxC1jJelx24M3pugFFN/story.html%3foutputType=amp

That was no typo: The median net worth of black Bostonians really is $8 - The Boston Globe

The median net worth for non-immigrant African-American households in the Greater Boston region is $8, according to “The Color of Wealth in Boston.”

Systematically how are Black Latinas, Negras, measured in this context? This is the question
