It crazy how Latinos helped create anti-black laws in the 1850s, fought against Black Civil Rights in the 1950s, have tried to ethnically cleanse Black Americans by bombing their residences for decades, and are just as prejudice as Anglos but you wonder why they get pushback 🤔
The more I bring up Latino struggles in America, I get the occasional Black person that will push back that their efforts are not valid or say they should go back to their country. You do realize that you're echoing White supremacy, don't you?

Simeon Wright, cousin of Emmet Till: “They asked her is this the right one? A lady responded he is.”
People have so much to say about this story without knowing even basic information about it.
1. She didn't tell the murderers anything about Emmett Till - a witness at the store told her husband, and he, a violent and aggressive man already, was furious with her for not telling…
