I rly try not to intervene in these kinds of convos (see also: salsa) but we need to stop trying to Do Nationalism with black diasporic syncretic music created under conditions of heavy colonialism and migration. Each place mentioned here played a crucial and different role.

“I don’t want to pay for other people’s healthcare!”

This is something I often see people say in opposition to single-payer healthcare.

Thing is, if you have health insurance, you’re paying for other people’s healthcare AND the insurance company is taking some for themselves.

Unlike my mamí, I retired myself from Latinx Heritage Month panels bc if one more person asked me “when did I discover that I was Black,” I was going to flip a table 😅

That narrative needs to die. Majority of Black folks in LatAm know they’re Black. Blackness isn’t confused

“why do so many ‘health workers’ have Hezbollah Pagers?” because Hezbollah Pager isn’t a real thing. because that’s what happens supply chains are contaminated. just because the propaganda needs you to be very stupid to believe it doesn’t mean you’re obliged to become that stupid
