Lemme make this VERY clear for my Latinx/Latine followers:

If you can’t find a way bolster, uplift, shine a spotlight on, or give credit to your community WITHOUT engaging in anti-Blackness or Black/Afro-Latinx erasure...

I, as a BLACK person, don’t care what you have to say. https://twitter.com/adriancjax/status/1325653063684796416">https://twitter.com/adriancja...

However you wanna spin it, what Eva Longoria said tonight on live television was a form of Black/Afro-Latinx erasure...full stop.

And when Black folks are telling you DIRECTLY that it was erasure, and yet you brush us off as “overreacting,” of COURSE expect a hearty “fuck you”

You know what, I’ll give you an example as a Black man, whose demographic votes in the 80th percentile:

“We did well, sure; 80% is a good number. I wouldn’t call it “great,” however; not when our Black Women counterparts are consistently in the 90th percentile...”

(cont.)

“So there’s definitely room to improve, but 8 out of 10 for a 4/5 ratio is not bad.”

See how easy that was? Acknowledged that we did well, noted that we have room to improve, and credited a demographic that outpaces us (Black Women)

All w/o erasing said better performing group.

Now, check this out: watch how I hype both Black Women AND Latinx folks simultaneously to give you a *chef’s kiss*:

“I am SO proud of the work Black Women put in to flip WI, MI, & especially GA! They did fantastic work!

While our sisters in the North & South held it down (cont)

“I’d also like to highlight and give congratulatory praise to our Latina community that pulled off a similar feat in historically red Arizona.

The Latina women of Arizona showed up & showed out to flip a red state blue, and I couldn’t be more proud! (cont)

“It was the strength of Black Women that broke GOP strongholds is the North & South!

It was the strength of Latinas out West that dented the red wall!

THIS is the coalition we’ve been waiting for, and it’s only gonna get stronger!”

Man...tell me I can’t deliver a message!!!
