@Javier Wallace and I chat about our research, observations and lived experiences in our classes and we do cut up! For reference, I am citing white U.S. linguist John M. Lipski. In this conversation we also mentioned antiblack bias as part of the reason Caribbean Spanish has been degraded—then co-opted for profit. One class remains in our course, May 10th 6pm EST, and you can also purchase the recorded classes.
@blackaustintours urgently invites us all to trouble the dominant narrative around “mestizaje,” nationalism, symbols and dogma around Latin American origin stories and nation-building. Most often it is incomplete and antiblack. Join us tonight for our class “WTF Is Latin?” recordings of classes can also be purchased.
Black folks BEEN imagining futures that centers our humanity, dignity and justice. Other folks are only catching up NOW on demands (because it affects them but Black folks again were sending that warning for decades) that Black folks have been talking about for centuries. Many of the things C*ba is famous for today: almost-free healthcare, school, and others were demands the PIC made in 1908. Over half a century beforehand. In the 1700s, Chirino in Venezuela demanded the abolition of slavery and the end of the race-based hierarchy. Not new to this. This is our 1800s to contemporary class. Our classes are dense and it’s for folks who will apply what they learned to their various lives and sectors. Sign up through link in bio.

As we have been saying forever, AntiBlack racism permeates all aspects of life. This isn’t an individual “not liking” someone because they are antiblack. This is about learned AntiBlackness, taught, spread, maintained and rewarded by traditions, norms, beliefs, and practices —perpetuated by media, policy and your stupid unfunny “jokes.” A person who lives in Colón, a predominant Black province in Panama, being prevented and barred from employment opportunities where THEY FUCKING LIVE. This is about the indignity, inhumanity and the white gall to feel comfortable to even say this to someone’s face (knowing these are the values of society anyway) and even worse for it to be common practice. Anyone with working eyes in Panama can see this is the norm for being employed; Be non-Black or at the very least, not dark-skinned. Thank you to @@_youking507 for sharing his story and to @lamar_iposa for sending me this everyday video of Panama.
These are the orgs pushing to make “Latino” a racial category despite Black Latines saying it is harmful to us. The usual antiblack behavior. Attend the town halls, leave your comments on the census website and share this video widely. www.LatinoIsNotARace.Info for ALL info!

Oppose proposed Federal standards that will hide race for Latino(a,e,x)s/Hispanics!
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has just released proposed changes that would make Hispanic ethnicity and race analytically equivalent.
If we do not organize and mobilize and make our voices heard before the April 12, 2023, deadline for comments, they will change how federal agencies collect data about race and ethnicity!
