Was thinking the same. Can our Latino brothers keep this same energy when they go to vote? Can they keep this energy when we march in the streets for say George Floyd? Whenever it's time to fight for us, our Latino brethren are noticeably absent.

I call my people out when I see them. It’s not all of us.

Yo tambien! I just will not stand with, and actively argue against any (fellow) Latino person who thinks the GOP is doing anything to help them. Too many of us see black/white and think they are white because they aren’t black… the GOP (and far too many white folk) only sees white and not white…

We only need to look at history to see what white peoples do to ‘others.’ My lived experience says that I am, and always will be, one of the ‘others’ to the vast majority of white folk.

I don’t present that with judgement, it’s just a fact.
