Don't forget that Kat Rodriguez (the mom of young Black boy assaulted by this white Puerto Rican woman) is Afro-Latinx, also Puerto Rican herself. To tell her as a white Puerto Rican you can't be racist, is denying that anti-Blackness exists globally & amplified in the Americas. https://twitter.com/deviIette/status/1348437119920971778
You can read her story (Kat Rodriguez's story here), She is Keyon Jr.'s mom and I am happy she also got the opportunity to speak with Gale. I could also feel the pain she felt for her son being traumatized. Her son can't even be hugged anymore bc he tenses up.
Here is the interview she did with her husband. It really broke my heart because no child should experience a racist attack and you can feel their pain for their son's ordeal. Her husband also brings up important issues that need to be amplified.
