dear god all those usamericans in your asks are wild. "Texas and florida are sooo different for example the accents" girl if we cross national borders in Europe there will be a DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. Like yeah it might be slightly weird for you to talk to someone from a different US state but you CAN talk to each other. I had to learn FRENCH for years before i could cross a border and do the same, i think there might be a difference. Also imagine people just going online and saying "im from lower saxony" and immediately getting mad when people dont know thats germany? We would never

no fr fr and then they get so pissed when you tell them that other countries also have regionally different cultures and *gasp* even different ethnicities and indigenous groups and *double gasp* immigration history?!??!? that they reside in your inbox for the next two days calling you entitled and priviledged because uhhhh you told them theyre not special... average pissing on the poor webite behaviour 🫶🏻💖

The thing is black people in the USA do care about Latin America and we just don’t like to support posts that throw us under the bus for no reason. No where has anyone said we don’t care about what you’re going thru. In fact I went and checked at all the people who mentioned the post was antiblack and all of their blogs had posts talking about Colombia and Mexico and what’s going on. We wanna help, we just don’t want to be treated like crap either cuz we get that enough from non black ppl. Anyway, I’m sorry you keep getting nasty asks and I hope things improve for your country soon.

thank you for this ask, truly. i'm gonna put the explanation under a read more bc this is?? going to be long.

the thing is that the post wasn't made targeting black people. that's it. i literally said "issues" in the general sense of the word, while thinking about things like the california fire, the water problem in flint, michigan, so many many posts about laws and bills that violate the rights of americans, that we supported you thru. we cheered you during elections as well despite knowing that biden is gonna fuck us over as well because there is a big problem in your country called "imperialism" that you need to acknowledge as well. your political actions aren't exclusive of your country, they affect latinoamerica too. but none of you see or acknowledge that. so please, and i say this politely, usamericans (all of you, including latines born in the us) need to take a step back and realize that there is a context behind my words and that "issues" doesn't mean black people fighting for their rights. all the people that called my post anti-black chose to see it that way. that is the reality of this. you took my words, stripped them from the context, decided to run with it and now there are around 15 asks in my inbox from people describing in detail how i should die and how they wish to kill me for using the word "issues" instead of making a list of problems for you when you already should know which were problems we mean. no matter the color of your skin, you need to be aware of your words and actions and how they affect others too.

and no, because i've seen people saying it, i am not talking down to anyone. i'm describing the reality latinoamerica lives in, that i live in, but you are the ones that chose to ignore it and continue to live in a bubble. being american, no matter the color of your skin, IS a privilege you don't see, but we do see it and we live in real life and in online spaces and in situations like this one. don't you wonder how is it that latines see my post and reblog it commenting "yes, please, it's our turn, please help us"?? you need to ask yourself why is that, not call us racist and run with it

as for the real context of the post, it was made in in regards to the way usamericans have been hypocrites towards us in times of need for YEARS. i've been on this site for 5 years, and my latine mutuals speaking out have been here for longer than me. it's a collective thing, and yes, this does include black people, because again, being american IS a privilege, being from and living in a first world country IS a privilege. and the reality is that all conversations we've had of this have been shut down with the same explanations and excuses. and you continue to silence us when we talk about it. and yes, there are people reblogging, if they know they are helping and they know this post is NOT being targeted at you, then why do they come ad do this?? why do they come and make fun of our suffering and pain??

please go look at the amount of posts of colombians begging for help and look at the amount of notes. my post is the only one of the few above 10k notes, not to mention 20k notes. there might be another one w the same amount of notes as this one that started up as discourse to go against me. but the rest?? people don't see them, they're ignored. my og post was a direct reaction to it, that's why it sounds guilt trippy. and it is guilt trippy, because i want you to open your eyes and if that's what it takes?? i will do it. i don't need to "tone down" my suffering. and this context?? all latinoamericanos in the notes understood it, they live it, they see it. that's why they talk about it with me too.

we don't want to fight, we want understanding, we want to be heard and acknowledged. so many people are dying not only by our governments but also by covid. there is a whole problem with vaccines and there are so many tone deaf posts from usamericans about getting vaccinated when third world countries don't have access to them. we need to be heard too. we're asking for help and for acknowledgment of these issues as well as acknowlegdement of the usamericans play in it
