John Leguizamo Says Latinos Built America & The Oldest Ethnic Group

[@nadinemayo4955]

At this point, it's like whatever you tell yourself. The only reason a person would say this is to counter black America on reparations and to make black America irrelevant, which, by the way, is impossible. So for all of you in this country speaking anything against black America, " it is impossible to make us irrelevant, if you don't know now you do.

And many people think white supremacy relates just to white people. People need discernment when anyone talk over or about Black people especially when they are not Black themselves. Just because Leguizamo is Latino and has the characteristics of a Latino person , the folks like John lean more to being white than they do working in (their clams of) solidarity with oppressed people, namely the Balck and Indigenous populations. If he really was about solidarity, he's wouldn't have hesitated to say that and how the Latino grew from Balck and Indigenous oppression. Thay love using their physical characteristics to have create a proximity to Blackness, while using their notoriety and platforms to be more in proximity to whiteness.

It was the contributions that Black people poured into this country as well as the consequence of the trans Atlantic slave economy that created the condition and laid the foundation of this nation. The fact that this country is the wealthiest country in the world is due largely by its historical foundations rooted in black chattel slavery. I live in one of the most freest societies in the world. It was Black people that made that possible for me. The fact that I, a person of color, can enjoy the same inalienable rights with that of a white person and have thr same opportunities,is due to the brave Black Americans who fervently and courageously said NO to exclusion and inequity. My freedom to just "Be" is thanks to them and is why there contributions are highly regarded and shouldnt be forgotten nor taken for granted.
