PSA: There is ANTI-BLACKNESS within the LATINO community
This post is something that I hope my Latine and Black followers will reblog.
There is anti blackness within the Latino community and there is a long history behind it.
?How can Latines be anti black¿
Colorism
Blanqueamiento which translates to “improve the race” is the belief a Latine person must pursue a relationship with a white person in order for their child to come out with lighter skin.
?But how does this relate to a Latine person being anti black¿
This is a piece created by Modesto Broncos and within this piece the grandmother is a black women and her daughter who is a mulatta and her lover is a white man mind you this piece was created in the 1800s
?But what is a mulatta¿
A person who has a white parent and black parent.
Fast forward
This is Piri Thomas whom is Afro-Latino of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent and is best known for his memoir of “Down These Mean Streets” which was published in the late 60’s and in his memoir he talks about how his father preferred his lighter skinned children over him.
Overall when it comes to anti black Latines, they are anti black because they want to be as close to as white as they can and when it comes to Afro-Latines especially they aren’t viewed as being Latine enough because they are mainly of black descent so having dark skin and fro hair is something that is not accepted and is often looked down upon with in the Latine community.
So just an FYI if people from the black and brown community are gonna talk about anti blackness your gonna have to do your research about Afro-Latines on them first in order to understand why certain Latines can be anti black
If y’all don’t already this woman is Celia Cruz whom is of Afro-Cuban descent and rose to fame within the 20th century who also face criticism “for being too dark” and was often called “ugly” by her peers but despite that she rose above it and become one of the most respected artist within the Latine community and if y’all are interest in learning about her their is a show about her on Netflix.
?IS THE IDEOLOGY OF BLANQUEAMIENTO STILL PREVALENT WITHIN THE LATINE COMMUNITY¿
YES
This had went on even in my family.
My great grandfather whom was born in Mexico had married a white woman (my great grandmother) and he did not like black people. When he found out that my Uncle was in a relationship with a black woman he would not allow her in his home and had made my grandmother promise him that all his grandchildren (including myself) would be baptized. Hell I have family members from my great grandmothers side whom are all white and they chose not too associate with us because we’re “poor Mexicans”.
?So what does this mean¿
It means that a Latine person being anti black even if they could be from a younger generation is something that is learned from our elders.
Did my great grandfather potentially believe in “improving the race”?
YES
Did believing in “improving the race work out for my great grandfather”
NO
Both my parents are Mexican and while my Mom does acknowledge that she does have white in her she identifies as a Mexican woman while my Father is fully Mexican meaning that I, myself identify as a Mexican woman.
But like I said before anti blackness is something that is “learned” from our elders so therefore in order to fix societal issues as a whole it’s the younger generation Latines responsibility to not take on this type of behavior that some of our elders exhibit because being an anti black Latine should never be accepted nor should it be normalized.
I mean they're men...I'm baffled that they're allowed to say blatant misogynistic statements outlout and not get sacked for it...I guess because they're degrading "themselves" its okay...the entitleMENt that they're allowed to have is astonishing but I shouldn't be surprised anymore...
The transcult is like a dummy corporation…they’re covering for- and enabling sexual predators under the guise of being a “progressive”, “feminist”, “woke” civil rights movement.
“they felt people were unjustly picking on him by bringing up his conviction as a violent child rapist, a history THRI believed was no longer relevant.”
Hell world, in which women’s pain and children’s pain pale in comparison to a man’s demands. This man should’ve never seen freedom again. Instead his “history” is seen as irrelevant.
In case anyone else didn’t know: THRI stands for Transgender Human Rights Institute. That’s right! A trans human rights organization believes incestuous child rape is no big deal :)
Actually, no, this sculpture is called “Memorial for Unborn Children/The Child Who Was Never Born” and was sculpted by Martin Hudáček from Slovakia. It was made not just as a memorial for miscarriages, but for aborted children as well. The child can be seen as comforting and/or forgiving their mother, which is part of what makes this piece of art so powerful. The artist is a devout Christian and is pro-life and loves children.
Please give credit to the artist and don’t erase the important message of his work!
when are people on the left gonna get it? queer theory and gender nonsense are yet another prison for women, dressed up in misappropriated rainbows this time
A doctor has launched an appeal to reverse one of the fashion trends of the last decade, seen in the explosion of beauty salons offering bikini waxing, laser hair removal and “vajazzling”– jewelled decoration of the genitals.
Pubic hair removal naturally irritates and inflames the hair follicles, leaving microscopic open wounds. Frequent hair removal is necessary to stay smooth, causing regular irritation of the shaved or waxed area. When that is combined with the warm, moist environment of the genitals, it becomes a happy culture media for some of the nastiest bacterial pathogens.
Dr. Gibson says that whatever method is used on pubic hair – razor blades, electric shavers, tweezers, waxing, depilatories, electrolysis - “hair, like crab grass, always grows back and eventually wins.”
In her practice it is not unusual to find patients with boils and abscesses on their genitals from shaving as well as cellulitis, an infection of the scrotum, labia or penis from shaving or from having sex with someone infected.
Herpes is also an increased risk “due to the microscopic wounds being exposed to virus carried by mouth or genitals.”
“It follows that there may be vulnerability to spread of other sexually transmitted diseases as well,” she says.
“Pubic hair does have a purpose, providing a cushion against friction that can cause skin abrasion and injury, and protection from bacteria. It is the visible result of adolescent hormones and certainly nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.”
“It is time to declare a truce in the war on pubic hair and allow it to stay right where it belongs.”
Ralph Jankus, 52, and his wife Christel, 49, took part in a 48-hour sex session for their nuptials. Christel suffered severe internal injuries allegedly after a sharp object was inserted into her.
A German man is in court facing manslaughter charges for killing his new wife in a 48-hour BDSM sex session just days after they walked down the aisle together.
Ralph Jankus, 52, and his wife Christel, 49, took part in a 48-hour sex session for their nuptials, he claims.
New bride Christel suffered severe internal injuries allegedly after a sharp object was inserted into her.
When emergency services were called four days later, they were unable to save Christel.
Self-confessed sadomasochist Jankus faces manslaughter charges at the court in Krefeld, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, in western Germany.
He is being prosecuted for failing to call for help, allegedly leaving her injured for four days. He claims he was not aware his wife was seriously ill.
The public prosecutor believes that Jankus must have been aware of how unwell his wife was and that her life was in danger.
When questioned, he told police the sex had been consensual and that he had been taking part in sadomasochism sessions for the past thirty years.
[…]
Jankus has reportedly admitted that his wife had previously complained about discomfort and had been to see an internal medicine specialist who had carried out a colonoscopy, but nothing had been found to be wrong with her.
Forensic medicine specialists came to the conclusion that the woman must have had some sort of barbed hook inserted into her and when it was removed this caused a perforated bowel.
The victim’s 30-year-old son, who has not been named, claimed his mother had been abused as a child and was mentally unstable.
He added that his mother was dominated by her husband and had started wearing clothes that covered her up well.
She had also allegedly reported abuse at the hands of her husband before they got married, in 2017, but later withdrew these allegations and had spent some time in a psychiatric clinic.
Her son claims that she fled to a women’s shelter in 2018, before turning up happier and marrying her partner in July of the same year.
He said: ‘She had injuries over her whole body and in her genital region.’
The son said: ‘I made accusations to her that she was putting up with too much and that it should never have gone this far.’
He added he had seen bruises which his mother had shown him and she allegedly told her son that she never wanted to see her partner again and never wanted to be hurt by him.
He claims that Jankus ‘abused, mistreated and humiliated’ his mother, but added: ‘I do think she loved him though.’
Her son’s partner, who is also a witness and who has not been named, said: ‘We had no idea about the violence at first. But over time it became more apparent, she was not allowed to leave the apartment. She was forced into taking drugs. She was beaten for going to the hairdressers without permission.’
Jürgen Rudloff’s chain of ‘wellness spas’ sold sex as a health service for men. But his business model was fatally flawed – as his trial for abetting trafficking revealed
Until his dramatic fall from grace, Jürgen Rudloff was the self-proclaimed “brothel king” of Germany. Owner of a chain of clubs he boasted was the “the largest marketplace for sex in Europe”, he was every inch the well-dressed entrepreneur, a regular face on reality TV and chat shows.
Rudloff is now serving a five-year sentence for aiding and abetting trafficking. His trial laid bare the misery and abuse of women working as prostitutes at his club who, according to court documents, were treated like animals and beaten if they didn’t make enough money. His imprisonment has dismantled the idea of Germany’s “clean prostitution” industry and raised troubling questions about what lies behind the legalised, booming sex trade.
Prostitution – legalised in Germany in 2002 – is worth an annual €15bn (£13.4bn), and more than a million men visit prostitutes every day. The change in the law led to a rise in “super brothels”, attracting tourists from countries where such establishments are illegal.
Rudloff’s empire – a chain of Paradise brothels – was founded on the idea that sex could be sold as a health service for men, on an almost industrial scale.
The jewel in the crown was the Stuttgart Paradise, opened in 2008 at a cost of more than €6m.
The five-storey club is billed as a “male wellness centre”, where customers pay €69 to cover entry, a meal, drinks and a Turkish bath. Sex costs an additional €50 for half an hour. Men wear bathrobes and shower shoes; women are naked aside from high heels.
Women who work at the club also pay the €69 entry fee, a daily tax of €25 plus the cost of a dormitory bed if they spend the night.
The Paradise business model is the same as the hundreds of other “sauna clubs” across Germany – brothel owners provide the premises, and the women are self-employed. Yet Rudloff’s high-volume, low-cost model only works if the supply of women is enough to satisfy demand and bring enough customers through the doors.
According to court documents, this became a problem for Paradise almost immediately. There weren’t enough women to fill the clubs. So Rudloff’s friends in the industry offered to help him out.
In 2008, as Rudloff was growing his business, investigators in Augsburg, Bavaria – a hundred miles from Stuttgart – received a tip-off that gangs from the city were trafficking women from eastern Europe, and sending them to work in Paradise. (While prostitution is legal in Germany, pimping and sex trafficking are not.) There was still no clear connection to Rudloff at this point. Then in 2013, a trafficking investigation into a brothel in Augsburg uncovered further links with Paradise.
At 6pm on 30 November 2014, in a mammoth operation involving 1,000 police officers and 70 locations, Rudloff’s four clubs in Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Saarbrücken and the Austrian city of Graz were searched simultaneously. The private and business premises of the brothel managers, as well as investors’ cars and apartments, were combed through, and files, financial records, computers and phones confiscated.
The evidence was sufficient to convict several pimps who had trafficked women into Paradise. Rudloff himself was finally arrested in September 2017.
In a trial lasting almost a year, testimony from the jailed pimps revealed that trafficking was crucial to the success of Rudloff’s business.
Among the witnesses at his trial was Ibrahim “I”, a former member of the Hell’s Angels and a close friend of Rudloff’s. Ibrahim admitted forcing women into prostitution at Paradise, setting them a daily target of €500 a day and beating them if they didn’t bring enough money home. He would hit them on the head, rather than the body, he explained, so that no one would see the bruises. He also tattooed his name on to women’s bodies and ordered women to undergo breast enlargement surgery.
One woman who worked at Paradise told the court she had seen young women weeping after their first night working there. Another said that she had seen gang members treat women “like animals”.
Peter Holzwarth, the chief prosecutor at the trial, argued that the owner and management at the clubs were guilty of Organisationsdelikt – aiding and abetting an organisation involved in criminality. “He knew – in the cases brought to court – that the women working at his club were being exploited by pimps,” says Holzwarth. “And he knew the women were trafficked, or rather, he thought that they might be and [still let them work], and that is sufficient for a conviction.”
The court agreed. Sentencing Rudloff in late February this year, the judge remarked: “A clean brothel of this size is hard to imagine.” He said he hoped the convictions would serve as a warning to the sex industry.
Three months on, questions are being asked about the scale of the criminality that could be lurking within Germany’s legalised brothels.
Augsburg’s chief police inspector, Helmut Sporer, says that the huge growth of the sex industry post-legalisation has fuelled a rising demand for women. German authorities have no data on the number of women who work in the domestic sex trade, but conservative estimates suggest 400,000. According to Sporer, more than 90% of these women come from south-east Europe and Africa, and half are under 21.
“The majority don’t conform to the profile of the self-employed sex worker. They speak no German – or only very basic German. They have a limited education and they are travelling abroad for the first time. Many don’t even know which city they are in,” says Sporer, who says that all these factors make it likely that many are not working voluntarily in prostitution.
It’s not just migrants at risk of exploitation. Sandra Norak, 29, has never worked at Paradise, but spent six years working in brothels across Germany after meeting a man on the internet while she was still at school.
Norak’s boyfriend threatened her with violence, forcing her to work at a brothel where she had to sleep with up to 500 clients a month. She kept none of the money for herself. Now an activist for changes to Germany’s prostitution laws, Norak claims her exploitation was replicated for the majority of the women she met, most of whom were pushed into the trade by pimps or traffickers.
It was not until 2014 that she was able to get herself out of the sex trade and complete high school.
The experience, she says, is a “kind of destruction of your identity”. “[Some of the women] could have got away from the guy exploiting them but didn’t have the strength or the belief to find their way back to a respectable life.”
The Paradise case has shaken the industry, says lawyer Frank Theumer, who has known Jürgen Rudloff for 30 years, and defended him at his trial. “The big brothel owners, whether in Augsburg, Hamburg or Berlin, have become more careful.” According to Theumer, what happened to Rudloff could happen to anyone working in the industry.
