@huhneymoan@EURbSn@discodiick@mrbluemouth Even by your argument, Beyonce’s is very much still important and “worthy.” She has the most Grammys (you say worth is dependent on awards). She is quite literally praised by everyone in the music industry. Critics actually like her music.
@lonestardixie@HHLiberation@oh_HOLMES They quite literally have similar stories. In the 1930s, the U.S began forcibly sterilizing Puerto Rican women. In 1917, Mexicans crossing the border would be forcibly disinfected with the chemical zyklon b. Nazi doctors took note of this, and later used the chemical to gas Jews.
@HHLiberation@oh_HOLMES Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it never happened. In the 1910s, in a period called La matanza, Texas rangers lynched and killed up to 5,000 Mexicans. Beginning in the 1930s, the u.s forcibly sterilized Puerto Rican women.
@prince_sr9 @IsedLoveTho@oh_HOLMES And I know Latino is not considered a race by the census but it is absolutely a racialized identity. There exists too much nuance and complexity within the Latino identity for you to outright say latinos were not treated as colored.
@prince_sr9 @IsedLoveTho@oh_HOLMES This is just plainly wrong. Latinos were treated as people of color. look at the Matanza where up to 5,000 Mexicans were lynched by Texas rangers. Or the forced sterilization of puerto rican women. Also the bath tub riots, the bracero program, etc. immigration policy in general
@KLV92168164@honeymoonhrts@euniquepixie_ @toraababy Are we forgetting that race is a social construct that has been used to justify those in power. Legal definitions of racial identities are messy and hypocritical. Despite being categorically white, during the 1910’s, Texas rangers lynched and murder up to 5,000 Mexican Americans
@KLV92168164@honeymoonhrts@euniquepixie_ @toraababy There was a period of time where Mexican was considered a separate race by the U.S. Census. Racial classification by the state has always been fluid and adaptable to uphold white supremacy. For Latinos, immigration policy has been the way to label them as non-white.
@som_chi86@ungodlywests Do you not hear yourselves?? this misogynistic ass take trying to paint Cierra that she was weaponizing “sex” to get him to say. He consented multiple times. He is a grown ass man.
