Imagine if Huey P. Newton had just been like "welp, sorry, we can't have global solidarity, learn about other marginalized people's struggles, and fight capitalism and the United States' hegemony because the Black Panthers aren't allowed to discuss what happens in other parts of the world due to being Americans... Sorry that we can't reach out!" 😑 That's how y'all sound rn. I am baffled.

I think a lot of the revolt comes from the characterization of Argentina as an exceptionally racist country, especially by people from Europe and the United States. Argentina has a large racist history but to claim it unique in the context of the world (and even in the context of latin america, where multiple other countries such as mine, Brazil, had whitening policies during a large part of our history as colonies and after) is something that I can only understand as being born from prejudice of its condition as a third world country, in a way that middle eastern countries are also painted as exceptionally misogynist and retrograde as a result of their condition of vulnerability in a worldwide context.

It's especially an open wound when this type of image comes from someone from the United States, when it is the U.S's government that was responsible for instating the dictatorship which actively hunted out especially leftists of color and that left long lasting effects in the country to this day, along with the fact that the current far right president is heavily backed by the U.S which invested a lot into their campaign.

All of Latin America is still under the hand of the global north, with our resources, land and politics being sold out to the companies of the united states, canada and european countries again and again, so the racism that occurs here is something that is sensitive for someone from the U.S to talk about when you still hold a position of privilege over us in that sense and your country continues to commit atrocities here.

I think it is important to talk about anti-Blackness in a worldwide context and I'm glad you strive to do that, though my concern is you contributing to the idea of Argentina being a more backwards and racist country than your own when we live in a context where yours expresses significant interest in political intervention in Latin America and that idea could be used as propaganda to forward it, in the idea of bringing progress

I hope my point is clear here, obviously I'm not denying that racism is very present there, it's just that the notion of Argentina being uniquely racist when there are so many countries that owned colonies and continue to benefit from the enslaving of Black people is unfair. I am just hoping to help more understanding and comprehension on both sides. Hope I worded everything well enough

No one is saying Argentina is uniquely racist, though. At least, I didn't say that. That's defensiveness on their end, and the racist responses given aren't aiding their cause. Brazil had whitening clauses, absolutely. Y'all also still have the world's largest African diaspora. What is exceptional about Argentina is not that it had these clauses, but that they were so effective in implementing them to the point where you get statistics that you have today.

At NO POINT, did I say that it's "more backwards than my own". That's that defensiveness, again, and you aren't even Argentinian. I JUST made a post saying how it would be hypocritical for me to tantrum over the current state of someone that isn't American pointing out that the American Indigenous population is 2%, in a place where it was once 100%. People don't get to say that people can't comment on a cultural genocide if they're not from the place being affected by said genocide! Otherwise we'd never bother discuss anything else happening anywhere in the world.

I can understand why it's annoying coming from someone who is from America. That doesn't mean that it shouldn't be talked about, especially if I am discussing it without being xenophobic. I have not- as far as I am aware- been as rude and disrespectful as the people responding have been towards me! Have you gone to their pages and "tried to meet in the middle with them"? Or is it clear that I am the problem for bringing it up?

It is NOT contributing to xenophobia to bring up a valid problem! I can discuss the US interventions in the region and STILL talk about how it is a problem that Argentina has a culture full of racism. Those are not two mutually exclusive things. I can discuss how the US is a world power that does horrible shit to everyone else in the world, and yet antiblackness here is as bad as its ever been. I can talk about the problem of US intervention in Japan, while still discussing how Japan itself has a history of colonization. I can discuss Israel doing horrible things in its region, and the region still having antiblackness present in its societies. There is no "you dont get to talk about this because there's ANOTHER PROBLEM!" You can discuss two things at once!

It also doesn't help that the people IN Latin America were ALSO talking about Argentina in this way. It's not just "gringos" talking about it! If your own neighbors have something to say about the way you carry yourself in the region, just maybe it's time to hear them out! And that's what was happening in the context of the world cup, where I was paying attention. Other people were talking about why they didn't want to support Argentina's team. Are y'all breathing down their necks as bad as you wanna breathe down mine?

In addition, not that these people know that as they come here mad as fuck, but I discuss the United States being not shit to its Black population all the time. So. It's not like I'm trying to stare down my nose at anyone. Maybe they should consider MY context, the same way everyone always wants ME to consider the context of the people being disrespectful to me. 👀

i think it'd do us a lot good as society if we started saying shit as it is. every day the internet invents a new vague category or theory that can be simply watered down to "i just really love/hate this particular thing/person". just state your opinion & go. not everything needs to layered w irony or pseudo-science.

We'd really, really really appreciate it if you could help share this petition. As of the 10th of July 2026, our Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago has signed and MOU with the USA in order to provide land and infrastructure to host AI data centers without the permission of the people.

This is highly likely to further exacerbate our water shortages and power outtages. The petition is organised by Syam Nath and our demands are to:

call on the Government of Trinidad and Tobago to suspend approval of large-scale AI data centres until comprehensive environmental, water resource, and infrastructure assessments have been completed, independently reviewed, and made available for public consultation.

The link: https://c.org/DBqKPGTcGx

I really hope that as a country we can actually organise protests and show up. I don't know how much a petition can weigh in on a decision like this and I don't know how willing people are to take the time out of their day to fight against this. This is all we have at the moment.

Sign the Petition

Suspend Approval of AI Data Centres in Trinidad and Tobago

If my page suddenly stops posting one day, know that my baby Qais has died. I will never forget the people who saw my child bleeding, suffering, and begging for help, yet chose silence and continued scrolling.

[savee-baby]

I feel completely broken and deeply ashamed begging strangers for help every day, because this suffering has turned me into a mother forced to sacrifice even her dignity just to keep her child alive.

[savee-baby]

I want nothing from this world except seeing my baby Qais walk and laugh again. Please donate so I can buy medicine and bandages instead of expired drugs and torn clothes cleaning his wound.

Please donate now Gofundme

[savee-baby]

Every day, I fear opening my messages and finding nothing, because silence now feels more terrifying than hunger or bleeding. It feels like watching baby Qais disappear. Donate and save him.
