I’m writing this cuz Americans are so quick to blame immigrants and Latinos for the things happening in their country. And Latinos blame their own people and their own governments of the things happening in the country. And Latinos in the U.S. don’t know abt Latin American history. Like Latinos are not dumb they elect people who try to do the right thing and then those people get killed because of the United States or corporations.

Like the Pentagon and Secretary of State knew about the coup that was abt to happen and supported throwing out the democratically elected president of Honduras in 2009. And then the Obama administration during that time legitimized the change.

And a lot of the supporters and the leaders of the president most of who were indigenous and black were murdered right after the regime change. Like there were so many death squads just killing Hondurans if they protested the coup.

Bro it’s truly sickening. Like the corruption and evilness of the U.S. is so deep. I read abt Puerto Rico then Mexico and now Guatemala and Honduras. I’m tired of seeing Latinos being demonized for the shit the U.S. has done to them so I’m putting this shit out there. SICKENING.
