'We have been denied the power of recognizing our fight, resistance, rebellions, and cimarronajes (uprisings) that have always characterized the history of Black communities in Puerto Rico.'

The experience of that 13-year-old girl imagined earlier is the lived reality of millions of children and teens throughout the entire region. Imagine their future. Imagine they make it to adulthood. Picture their effort, their sacrifices, and their journey. Picture their intellect and their potential never making it through the gates of racism, but instead staying with them as inequality makes them just another statistic.

Now picture this awakening. Imagine it in the context of this global uprising against racism and the new opportunities to have our voices heard. Imagine racism being recognized and challenged throughout the world, with anti-racist policy leading our way forward. Imagine the eradication of the, replaced instead by sustainable, fruitful opportunities for Black communities.

Imagine the lives of our Black youth in a world in which they don’t fear death because of their skin color. Imagine what their lives could look like without the threat of a mistake putting them in jail. Imagine the lives of our Black children, living life to the fullest and without being scared. Imagine them in a world where they can contribute to our societies with their arts, talents, and solutions.

I want to see a world in which our children’s Blackness is a point of pride. I can see them walking with their heads held high, dignity intact. We can, will, and must get there.

It’s ok to be white

What an awful thing to say.

Then tell politicians and teachers to stop telling them that there's a difference. Take all colour off the table and teach them that you judge a person by their character. That also means no privilege for anyone based on their skin colour. Equality ...fixed!

Then tell politicians and teachers to stop teaching them that whiteness is superior and that being black is a handicap, because its not!

Skin colour isn't an achievement. Period.

Der Sturmer used to say something similar.

hitler youth 2020

A useless black person will be just as useless as a useless white person. Therefore your race means NOTHING!

Like my kids whiteness is?

If blackness can be a point of pride why can’t whiteness?

This just in: Teen Vogue is always talking about how they want equality. Therefore Teen Vogue is implicitly endorsing “White Pride” with this article

When did go from talking about teeny 'hunks' and 'the summer's hottest fashion' to a Marxist propaganda rag bent on sowing the seeds of division? 🤔

'I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.' Or this. This would be better.

How do you have 3.3 million followers and can’t even manage likes in the thousands... y’all really need to clean house up there 🤣

Why does everyone hate blacks?

Or we could just teach our children that who they are as person is what matters not the color of their skin
