For Negrete and other Latinos in the LGBTQ community, the Sunday massacre, which President Barack Obama has recently called an act of terror and a hate crime, shined a spotlight on an issue that has not been discussed enough: the targeting of people of color within the community.

“A Latinx transwoman was shot the other day in Santa Ana,” said Negrete. Latinx is a term being used with increasing frequency on social media, replacing the “o” in Latino with “x,” making the masculine identifier gender-neutral.

I won't be shocked if many in this nation look at the shooting as that of a light-skinned male gun nut who hates gays.

This is a good example of making the news to fit your agenda.
Correct me if I'm wrong sorry but I read somewhere that the night of the Orlando shooting was Latino Night Theme!

I need another roll of duct tape to wrap around my skull so it will not explode.

Any reason is a good reason for a decent person to take up arms.

Yet more of the homo agenda wherein they dictate to us the words and terms we may now use.

Yea….as though we don’t have enough LBGTQ xyz weirdos, we have to import more from around the world. Sick.

Exactly what do you mean by gun nut? That’s what progressives call anyone who owns a gun.

I tried reading this but was afraid my head would explode.

So many self indentifying groups trying to victimhood band to claim special status for themselves.

Beatriz is profiling

[ConservativeStatement]

Exactly my point in how the liberal media will portray it and how some individuals will consume the message.

[Pearls Before Swine]

How do you pronounce “Latinx?”

[Lucas McCain]

What is the difference between a person of color and a colored person?

[bgill]

I am a person of color. I’m a pale pinky colored person.

[bgill]

Freepx?

Ugh, no, let that be the first and last time it’s used.

[headstamp 2]

Instead of the threat of terrorism, we’ll instead worry about how we can best bastardize the term “Latino”.
