@2ptate @valeryllp @breebaabii @ItsLeannna I’m tired of being put down by the ignorant saying, “it’s not that serious” when I speak up. But see how I don’t categorize those ignorant black people with the whole black community? I know those who are ignorant do not fit in with the entire community.
@2ptate @valeryllp @breebaabii @ItsLeannna I hate the n word, and will always call someone out on it, ESPECIALLY my Latino community. I’ve seen people say it bc their black friends gave them a “pass”. If you want us to call out our Latin community on it, do the same with yours. Let’s fight together!
My parents are 10 yrs apart & my mom said she wished it wasn’t so normalized back then cos maybe she woulda had the courage to leave. These convos are so necessary
BREAKING: The CEO of @Hertz wrote a letter to Puerto Rico‘s representative in Congress stating that Hertz has rewritten its policy to make it abundantly clear that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory - not a foreign country - & because of that Puerto Rico driver’s licenses are not international IDs they are just as valid as any ID from any state in this union. This news follows the story I first reported last week, where a Puerto Rican man at the New Orleans international airport was denied a rental car because at least two Hertz workers said his license was international. On top of that, the man who recorded the incident, had the police called on him by a Hertz employee who said he can never rent from Hertz again because he recorded the incident. *She was wrong; he can rent from Hertz again*. The police officer who responded to the call was dismissive and rude and is now the subject of an internal investigation by his police department because the customer, Mr. Humberto Marchand, filed a complaint with the @KennerPolice. Following our report, Representative @Jenniffer wrote a letter to Hertz asking for a companywide educational campaign, and she got it.
Lastly: Puerto Ricans are United States citizens. Please share.
