OK, so wehn your water breaks. It’s. Well the fluid, yknow. imagine you’re in the desert. With better call saul. Better call saul and mike are in the desert, just like in the movie. Now, let’s say saul is pregnant, and mike is really thirsty..
sometimes i want to start breaking shit because how whitewashed historical argentinian figures are. san martin was mestizo, the first argentinian president, bernardino rivadavia, was black, one of the greatest latinamerican revolutionaries, remedios del valle, was an afroindigenous woman, juana zurduy was one of the first female revolutionary generals and was quechua. and yet i had to find all of this information by myself because up until this day most text books in schools would make you believe all the revolutionaries were white
Mariano Moreno was part Guaraní, over 50% of the Argentine Independence army troops were made up of Afro-Argentines, Josefa Tenorio was an Afro-Argentine woman and army leader, the original declaration of independence was written in both Spanish and Quechua, Castelli translated all official documents to Aymará and Quechua, in Belgrano’s Escuelas de la Patria instruction was given in Spanish, Aymará and Quechua, Sarmiento barrelled Afro-Argentines, indigenous people and mestizes from government positions, Mitre whitewashed the first official accounts of Argentinean history, Sarmiento introduced the term “trigueño” in all census and did away with all racial categories so he could effectively whitewash population statistics over time, etc etc and etc
And if I may add, so much of the music we consider ours, tango included, were heavily influenced by African music and culture, brought here by slaves. And they would have you believe slavery either wasn’t a thing, or they were treated nicely, or some other bullshit like that.
So yeah, we are Latin America’s whitest nation, but that is through hard work from our government and genocide, and don’t you forget it.
While I agree with the former paragraph, I think the latter is unconsciously perpetuating a harmful rhetoric. Here’s the thing, we are NOT the withest nation in Latin America, what happens is that the state and white elites have successfully whitewashed our history and ingrained into the collective unconscious that Argentina’s a white nation, because for over a century the white elites have erased all nonwhite population at every level (education, representation in media, political representation, etc). Parroting (no matter whether consciously or not) and perpetuating this rhetoric by arguments like the above actually perpetuates white supremacy. That same one that Mitre and Sarmiento cemented.
La mayoría no son les argentines blanques, rompan con el sesgmo mitrista y sarmientista.
i dont think you get it. 1980 was twenty years ago. 1990 was 10 years ago. 2000 was 10 years ago. 2016 was two years ago. 2018 was also two years ago. 2017 was last year. 2014 was four years ago. do you understand me now?????
