As a Hispanic American, the honest people of this country need to stand together no matter the "race", which there is only one race. The human race. Either we are all free, or no one is.

Where was the outrage when our civil rights leaders were assassinated? When Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Philando Castile, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and thousands of other unarmed Black men and women were killed by the police and/or white supremacists? When our activists and truck drivers are found hanging and it's ruled a suicide?
