1. El Impacto Profundo del Colonialismo en la Identidad Cultural.
El colonialismo ha dejado una huella imborrable en la identidad cultural de muchas sociedades, manifestándose en la asimilación, la pérdida de lenguas y la internalización de jerarquías raciales.
- Colonialism is about assimilation and breaking down the individual. The effects of that shit runs through 1/2 my genetics.
- 350 years of spanish colonialism established this sense of not good enough in filipino culture.
- One of the saddest things i hear from my parents is being told to learn other cultures and languages besides learning more about my filipino heritage & culture. "you won't understand cuz you're born in the states." colonialism is alive and well, seeping into generations.
- We don't speak nahuatl because of colonialism. We lost much of our culture to violence because of colonialism.
2. Racismo y Colorismo como Legado del Colonialismo.
El colonialismo ha perpetuado el racismo y el colorismo, creando jerarquías basadas en el tono de piel y la ascendencia europea, lo que ha llevado a la discriminación y la internalización de complejos de inferioridad.
- Latin american here. I would recommend reading up on the history of spanish colonialism in latin america. It’s not much talked about, but latin american countries are some of the most racist and classist countries in the world.
- As a filipinx, i can say that colonialism did a number on my people. The colorism plays nicely into white supremacy.
- Anti-blackness is one of the most damaging aspects of spanish colonialism that sits deep in latin american culture.
- Mostly colorism, from where i’m sitting (internalized colonialism, rampant in my family and many others from latin american and mexico).
3. La Lucha Contra el Colonialismo y la Búsqueda de la Identidad Propia.
A pesar de los efectos devastadores del colonialismo, muchas comunidades han resistido y luchado por preservar su cultura, su lengua y su identidad, buscando una forma de decolonizar sus mentes y sus sociedades.
- Perspective regarding joy reid. Us citizens do not understand colonialism in indigenous peoples was not the same as colonizers. My ilocano tribe of the philippines fought spain for 400 years. Our tribes were not allowed any implement that could be used as a weapon, not taught to read nor write.
- I'm continuing to the same line of conversation from the beginning. It's also bad to brag if your ancestor did colonialism in mexico, just like it's bad to brag about your geogian land owner or your nakba doer.
- I'm a mexican mestiza. My ancestors’ names were erased by colonialism, like so many others. If you need to know my bloodline to engage with my arguments, you’re not debating justice—you’re searching for an excuse to ignore it.
- My indigenous ancestors survived colonialism and now our culture and languages is being revived. I’m celebrating revival of native american/ mexican coahuiltecan culture. Save indigenous languages! revive indigenous cultures!
4. El Colonialismo como un Problema Global y Persistente.
El colonialismo no es solo un evento histórico, sino un sistema que continúa afectando a las sociedades de todo el mundo, manifestándose en el neocolonialismo, la explotación económica y la imposición cultural.
- America is a reflection of european colonialism. It's called neo-colonialism because europe did og colonialism aahh colombus was an italian sent by spaniards that killed and raped my people in quesqeya you are not innocent bc the boomerang of empire is hitting you back for once.
- I live in texas. I can’t criticize colonialism it had provided me with a bountiful and wonderful life.
- The border patrol on the us's border w mexico existed explicitly to fight against mexico as a rival colonial power. The us racialized mexicans in order to use colonial logic against them: "they don't deserve the land bc they're not white." the whole thing is founded on colonialism.
- The u.s. Has been interfering in the governments of most latin american countries for decades. Most latinos have endured colonialism, poverty, war, and dictatorships. What would be the tactic to appeal to most of the latino community? we are not a monolith, so how will you go about it?
