Houston.

Many of us Black Americans are multiracial AND multilingual.

Unfortunately,most Black and Brown folks don't know that.

I got fired from a job years ago for confronting Latino co-workers when they made derogatory comments about Black people. Because I responded to them in Spanish.

These people probably support Trump too.

Fuck y'all racists.

Ironically,this Latino guy with the swastika using the N-word and other vile language towards city council and others?

HIS ass would be despised by Hitler.

AND his ass would be banned from entering "whites only" facilities if Trump gets his way.

Translation: they'll find a Latino MAGA to primary him.

Or a retired Albuquerque or El Paso/Las Cruces newscaster as a "celebrity candidate".

SubstackJanette McClelland on SubstackBlog #25. We'll, we’re two months into the current administration. We're rapidly going back to 1948. When Black and Brown people couldn't work in major stores except as the cleaning crew. When Black and Brown people couldn't SHOP in those same stores simply because of the color of their skin. When minorities were restricted to living in certain areas. Many of those same neighborhoods were the ones that the government designated for “eminent domain” and “urban renewal”. AKA destroyed to build freeways and high-rise buildings. And residents couldn't organize to fight against the destruction because of the color of their skin. We're going back to the days of segregated schools, businesses and eventually, segregated sports leagues. I was an infant when my mom and grandma marched up and down 7th St in downtown LA,picketing against department stores and businesses that didn't hire Blacks,Latinos and Asians to work as salespeople. They did the same in front of stores along Wilshire Blvd and in Hollywood. For years. By the time those stores integrated,it was too late. We simply shopped on Crenshaw Blvd or in neighborhoods where we felt welcomed. The current boycotts against companies that capitulated to the president; while they're definitely affecting business at those companies; feels shallow compared to what our ancestors did over 60 years ago. You may not be able to picket in front of a store anymore because of legal stuff; but you CAN spread the word through word of mouth. These days, social media has taken the place of newspapers and street gossip.. And in many cities, there's few; if any,Black or Latino-owned businesses for people of color to shop at. That puts people in a quandary: do I shop at (store being boycotted); do I drive hours to a city with a large Black or Latino population to shop where I feel comfortable; or,do I simply not shop at all? Oh,and let's not forget that many of those companies being boycotted have minorities working in their stores. They're usually the ones who lose their jobs when profits decrease. So far,none of the organizers of the boycotts have created some form of financial aid for of and when those employees lose their jobs. Oh,and another thing. Millennials and Gen Z take things for granted. Most of them never had to go through being turned away from stores because of the color of their skin. Or being hired only in positions that didn't involve contact with customers. Or being limited to an 8th grade education. Those are the things our ancestors gave their lives for. We're going to have to fight to keep those rights. I don't want to go back to 1963.
