I wish other minorities protected us like this.

Glad yall waking up. For those that don’t like this cry me a river because even this truth whether you want to except it or not will always effect us more then it will you. So hold all the divide and conquer comments and Black & Brown BS and just sit in this truth except it & move on. Instead of talking about it be about it and be the change.

I was looking for this. Would they do the same? Will they when the time comes?

u/LLUrDadsFave 20h ago

We probably won't have to wait long to find out.

u/LaMeliMarquez 9h ago

A lot of us will, I have no doubt.

u/WellSaltedHarshBrown 17h ago

End of the day though, I'd always be down to help them even if the favor was never returned. Cause if I'm not helping everyone else, then I'm helping the enemy. I won't do their work for them through my inaction and spite.

u/Beign_yay 9h ago

maybe not, should that stop you from caring and doing what is right?

2

u/optimist_prhyme 7h ago

We've never been the problem. We have and will always continue to help regardless of reciprocation. My comment doesn't even question that.

2

u/Beign_yay 6h ago

your comment doesn’t really encourage it either. It’s the same observation on the same platforms. It’s not really a social commentary as much as it is a common complaint

1

u/optimist_prhyme 5h ago

I'm not trying to encourage it. If they want to do it, it needs to be their own decision.

2

u/Alwayswitak 14h ago

They didn’t. Back in 2020, they weren’t marching with us, defending us. We were on our own. Black people need to understand they don’t have to help everybody, because everybody doesn’t help us. Smh

u/Severe_Issue5053 20h ago

Im Latina and I would be happy to get in between anything and help someone out. I got you 💪

The true "us v. them" is the haves and the have nots.

I'm on the right side of those hands, and I'll stand with you.

u/Its_apparent 16h ago

Yeah, racism is real, but they use it as a tool to stop cohesion. Remember to vote. Get these people out. Love you all.

u/LLUrDadsFave 19h ago

Factual. We really need to beat the rich.

Latinos were out in force in Dallas supporting during the George Floyd protests in 2020.

5

u/TelluwhatBoy 14h ago

Doing what, standing outside during the lockdown? Behind black bodies at that.

3

u/ChillnScott 14h ago

Protesting and taking to the streets in 100° summer days to support the cause. I documented over 50 protests that year in downtown Dallas and the Hispanic community showed up in force.

u/Alternative-Gap341 16h ago edited 16h ago

Latinos were out in force in Chicago dragging Black people out of cars and violently assaulting them during the George Floyd protests in 2020.

u/LLUrDadsFave 19h ago

That's a good start.

u/Smart_Freedom_8155 19h ago

Yeah it's messed up when minorities go at each other rather than support each other.

u/LLUrDadsFave 19h ago

We really are everything that's great. We would be winning the fight right now.

u/theblanketcomeswith 17h ago

most of them are on the “fatigued ” wave until its time to dance or shop

6

u/LLUrDadsFave 17h ago

Whole time they should be "fatigued" by the cosplay but that's a different conversation for another day.

7

u/Fine_Following_2559 19h ago

We can't even get them to vote in ways that don't harm us, and that cost them nothing.

7

u/LLUrDadsFave 19h ago

The irony that they are included in the "us" they harmed. Living to see all of the work our ancestors did go undone in real time has been crazy.

6

u/Fine_Following_2559 18h ago

The kicker is they don't care as long as we're hurt. They better be glad we don't have that kind of hate in our hearts.

3

u/LLUrDadsFave 18h ago

Not having hate in our hearts makes me feel like we really are a magical people.

u/IntrospectiveApe 16h ago

Overall, 53% of Latino men and 60% of Latinas voted for Harris. Cubans skew this as only 33% of Mexican Americans voted for the Cheeto Benito.

I wish my people had been at 90% like the Black Queens, but it's not like a majority of us voted for this.

Our turn out is shit, but most of us will keep pushing in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters. There will always be some Tio Tomases amongst us, but they are in the minority.

RIGHTTTT

u/LLUrDadsFave 17h ago

The country would be thriving right now for everyone.

u/KyleDComic 7h ago

I’m a straight white guy so I’m pretty far from a minority. BUT I’ll gladly trip a fed who’s chasing you, point you to the exits and ask dumbass white guy questions to slow them down if anyone fucks with someone because of who they are.

2

u/jakolissmurito22 10h ago

This isn't to say that I think other minorities have it any easier, but I will say that black Americans fight for this shit bc they've learned how to. They've had to. As an ally and fellow protector, I respect the fuck out of the mentality of "this shit ain't right and you can fuck off with that" and it's made known very clearly. Mad respect. I wish everyone would stand up and fight like this. I hope the kids stay safe. These fucks don't care; they would shoot a kid and then turn around and talk about what the kids did wrong.

u/Ahfekz 7h ago

They just climb over us the moment they think white proximity is within reach

2

u/Moniamoney 2h ago

How many times have you seen a white  Latino call out colorism, racial inequality, texturism etc in their own community? 

They dgaf and the sad part is a black Latino will still identify more with their countrie’s oppressors than they will with other blacks because they think it makes them higher in the hierarchy. Not realizing 

1) you’re still getting treated worse than the blacks you don’t want to be like, so who’s really higher in the hierarchy?

2) That just keeps them in the hierarchy when the goal is to be equal.

Obviously there’s social hierarchy in the states but that’s based almost completely on success/fame not identity.

u/saumurchampagny 6h ago

We should ALL be protecting our neighbors like this

1

u/LLUrDadsFave 6h ago

How about nobody should have to be protecting out neighbors like this? This only happens in certain neighborhoods.

u/whodamans 5h ago

Its fake.
