#MeganRapinoe said to Trump last night on @AC360:
‘Your message is excluding people. You’re excluding me. You’re excluding people that look like me. You’re excluding people of color. You’re excluding, you know, Americans that maybe support you.”

🇺🇸🏳️🌈#MeganRapinoe: "I think that this country was founded on a lot of great ideas but it was also founded on slavery...we just need to be really honest about that & be really open in talking about that so we can reconcile that...and make this country better for everyone."

Today's U.S. vs. Mexico soccer finals match in Chicago (Gold Cup) is not only about national identity, but bluntly speaking, about race: Indigenous vs European. The majority of so-called 'U.S. Hispanics' will be rooting for Mexico, as they have done for yrs. #OneNationOneTeam 1/4
The continued existence of the Mexican nation-state (itself based on the Aztec identity of "Mexica") exerts an Indigenous cultural identity that looms large over the consciousness of Mexican-descent people in the United States. 2/4
The best thing the racists can do for us is to continue describing us as "illegals" and foreigners (people who do not belong to their American-colonial identity). This ensures the development of a "nation within a nation". Fortunately, they cannot help themselves. 3/4
