For context, I had thought about a Pinterest clone for Fedi since a while ago, but I only really started talking about the project after paying close attention to the trouble that black and indigenous people were having with #racism on Mastodon. Basically, I came to feel that Mastodon's structural shortcomings weren't going away, and that there was the desire for something to address them.

In response ambassador Hernán María Patiño Mayer wrote that "the Argentinian national team, like the Argentinian people, represents the values of a mestizo America, rejecting all forms of racial, religious, gender and social discrimination."
Well said.

The Underground Railroad to Mexico exposes a neglected history about the Black experience in the Americas. It's likely more enslaved Black people in the US escaped to Mexico than originally thought.

They brought someone on & after listening to the music, they decided it wasn't "happy" enough, so they went another direction entirely, going white again.

With the recent second wave of #BlackLivesMatter, I've discovered the Americans Descendant of Slavery (#ADOS) movement. It is a typical example of intersectionality where ethnicity alone isn't useful enough to explain the current wealth disparities between American persons of color.
In particular, I believe #reparations should be directed primarily towards these people which would make an eventual policy both more affordable and more meaningful.
I should add that I'm not happy about the anti-immigration stance of this particular movement, but I still believe they deserve a particular attention that doesn't strip any other person of color of consideration regarding institutionalized #racism in the US.
"I don't see color, just people" can either lead to "I treat everyone the same" which is good but ignores historical consequences of #racism,Lately I tend to think that this is exactly what can end racism and all sorts of other "...isms". We should concentrate on the present and not the past. It doesn't dismiss history but rather calls for objective decisions based on current situation rather than trying to compensate for history.
Yes, I know it is seen as red flag by many.
In either case, it's a red flag.
