FBAS REACTS | HISPANIC WOMAN Says SHE STANDS With ASHLEY GONZALEZ

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]This is a trip. Mexicans were thinking they was white folks. They [music] forgotten about the Alamo. All my Puerto Rican friends. I'm Spanish. Oh, a tall Mexican. No, I mean I'm Spanish. I thought that was a language. Everybody gets it twisted. [music] If you take an African zebra to Canada, it does not make it a Canadian zebra. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Cubans, ain't nothing but [music] black folks that can smell. You think that you're better than us cuz they dropped you off first.

[00:00:30]>> Today we will hear foundational black Americans and Hispanics sharing their strong reactions to a Hispanic woman who says she feels nothing was wrong with Ashley Gonzalez racist online rant.

[00:00:41]Check it out.

[00:00:42]>> I don't think Ashley Gonzalez deserved to lose her job. I really don't. I think it's fair that we live in a society where a certain culture of people can weaponize one word to destroy your life and they will push you into saying that word. Could you imagine being a female police officer in Houston and seeing and dealing with what she deals with every single day? That word comes from somewhere. Okay?

[00:01:13]It would be kind of like if we were to say colonizer held just as much power as the n-word.

[00:01:23]Because when they say it, they say it with hatred. It's hatred when [music] they say that word. It's not prejudice.

[00:01:29]It is straight up racist. When they call white people a colonizer, can you imagine if every black person that said that word would lose their job?

[00:01:41]>> Could you imagine that?

[00:01:43]I don't think anyone should lose their job for a word at all. But these people will get together and they'll call every organization and they'll stand out there until they get their way. And the fact is people need to not crumble.

[00:02:01]What those police officers go through on a daily basis and what they see every single day. I could only imagine after a while seeing the stereotypes, seeing [music] that behavior every single day can push someone. She wasn't saying this publicly. She was saying this in a private [music] group chat with her friends and she had one of her friends do this to her.

[00:02:25]That should be held. They should that should be they should look at that. They should definitely look at that. It wasn't like she was just coming online saying that.

[00:02:36]I just think that that [music] the black community loves it. They This is a joyous day when they can catch a professional person saying something that they find racist and they will all pounce. They will pounce and go look look when they do nothing but call the Hispanic people's banks and wet banks and everything else, but nothing happens to them.

[00:03:04]And it reminds me of the black police officer that was up here on this app that I did a video about talking about, I'm the one that your white woman fears.

[00:03:15]What pisses me off is that white people won't come together and say, "Hey, take this black cop lady's job the same as they're going to try to take Ashley Gonzalez's job."

[00:03:27]That woman doesn't deserve to lose her job because if she deserves to lose her job, everyone will colonize her in their mouth. Everyone was and wet deserves to lose their damn job, too. I stand with Ashley [music] Gonzalez for the simple fact. Words are words.

[00:03:45]>> Some Spanish people look at black people like we're [ __ ] That's proven fact. You got your your Cubans, you got your Puerto Rican, and you got Dominicans that would be like, "No, no, no. Don't tell me. You from you from the Bronx.

[00:03:56]How was it over there with with Dominican?"

[00:03:58]>> Bro, them [ __ ] [music] though, they cool with you. But low low key, them [ __ ] think we're dirty, [ __ ] They think we just nasty, bro. They talk hella [ __ ] about us, bro. They'll be cool with you in front of your face.

[00:04:10]They'll smile at you like you're low.

[00:04:11]Everything is good. But they'll walk around like they the mono, they call you [ __ ] They call you all this [ __ ] bro.

[00:04:19]I have a selective few friends, bro, that they're Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, and they like they black people. And I because I grew up around them. I've been around them, so I know they 100. But majority of them, they not with us. Bro, >> this Ashley Gonzalez situation has sparked some really weird commentary online that I'm seeing, particularly with the Latinos that say we stand with Ashley Gonzalez or what happened to free speech? And since when did admitting to racial profiling and abusing a person just because of their race become free speech? I mean, yeah, it is free speech, but we also have the free right to issue you a punishment for said speech. I saw a really weird take from a Latino lady where she was like, "Latinos in America need to unite because because of this situation over the last like 2 or 3 days, Latinos have been being attacked online and how, you know, this is a really an eyeopener to how they really feel about us." But it's like what type of a reaction would you have been expecting from the black community when you have somebody online talk a police officer giving us the hard er and saying that they racial profile us and having people who are in agreement with what happened? What the hell would you expect? And then she had made she has made another comment saying that that um they don't that we that Latinos don't need to be kissing black people's ass or something like that. I guess for the people who were apologizing about the situation, we don't need to be kissing their ass. You know, we need to be focusing on ourselves. We don't need to be doing nothing for, you know, anybody else. And I I think that she was basically trying to do a push back on the people on the Latinos who stepped up and said, you know, this doesn't represent us and we don't agree with Ashley Gonzalez or what she does and and addressing racism in the Latino community. I think her video was basically as a push back against that.

[00:06:16]And so I just it's just giving me like really weird it's that's a really weird victim position to take given the fact that you're not the victim in this situation.

[00:06:27]Like I have yet to ever see a black cop admit to racial profiling online or or go on on a line online on a racist rant, but I've seen it happen plenty of times uh from other races against black people, right? But I've never seen a black cop do that. Black cops typically do well. Black cops actually follow the law the way that it's supposed to be followed. You know, whatever feelings that they may have against a particular group, you wouldn't know it because they're not going to treat somebody differently or talk down and they're damn not sure not going to go online and admit to to doing, you know, harm to somebody just because of their race or just period. It's just a lot of weird energy going back and forth with this whole situation. And it's I also believe that this is very eye opening cuz it's kind of making me side eye people like girl with this whole Ashley Gonzalez case. I'm just like before any Latinos or Hispanics get in my comments about oh it's not all of us and it's not um yeah I know it's not all of you. That's like you know I know I'm a Latina. I know it's not me. You know what I mean? But at the same time we need to hold our people accountable. I live in Texas.

[00:07:35]Okay. It's undeniable. It's undeniable you come here to Texas Latinos are using the word left and right. and I mean hard er and they say a lot of ignorant things about black people. They disrespect black people all while trying to be black most of the [clears throat] time.

[00:07:49]I feel like here in the United States we associate blackness with coolness and a lot of Latinos that are not black cuz there is black Latinos but there's a lot of non-black Latinos and non-black Hispanic people that try to be a part of black culture and black community without actually liking black people. I think this actually comes from being in a system here in the United States that only recognizes black and white. Okay?

[00:08:12]We don't ever really recognize Latino people or Hispanic people. Therefore, we're left with so many questions about who we actually are, what we represent.

[00:08:19]We're left with so much ambiguity on what being Latino or being Hispanic actually is because it's not a race. My family specifically is multicultural, multi-racial. I grew up being very confused about my identity. I'm not going to lie. And a lot of the problems I had came from the Latino community.

[00:08:34]The colorism, the racism, the, you know, even even just the classism in the Latino community is crazy. We often forget that black Latinos even exist.

[00:08:43]And some of us have family members or friends who are black Latinos and deny their African ancestry. Again, I understand that not all Latinos and Hispanics are racist. But let's look at the stats. Let's look at the data. All the people that voted for Trump this year, a majority, it was overwhelmingly Latino people that voted for Trump. And if you're a Latino and you're trying to deny any of this, oh, I don't I never grew up with that. I don't I really want you to think about things you might have been told as a child. If you had the nickname Werita or Morinita or Negrita, I really want you to think of why why the Latino community obsesses so much over skin color. Why does it matter if you're Morinita or Morinita Clara or Negita? Why does it matter? I think we all need to question too like why so many theosas aos um would tell us [ __ ] like oh don't go outside for too long you don't want to be black right oh you shouldn't date black guys you're too pretty for it n-word hard r I need you guys to please stop acting oblivious like stop acting like this is not a real problem in our community I don't think Ashley Gonzalez deserve to lose her job of course you don't >> I think it's fair that we live in a society where a certain culture of people can weaponize one word to destroy your life.

[00:09:57]>> You mean like white people did with that exact same word to keep black people oppressed? Is that what you mean?

[00:10:05]>> And they will push you into saying that word.

[00:10:08]>> Oh, so you mean it's okay to be racist just as long as you're angry, huh?

[00:10:15]>> Could you imagine being a female police officer?

[00:10:18]>> Oh my god. Being a female police officer has nothing to do with it. Being a female has nothing to do with it.

[00:10:27]>> That word comes from somewhere. Okay.

[00:10:30]>> Yeah. It's called a place of unjustified hate.

[00:10:35]>> It would be kind of like if we were to say colonizer held just as much power as the n-word.

[00:10:45]>> No.

[00:10:46]No, it does not.

[00:10:50]Being called a colonizer is nothing like being called the n-word.

[00:10:55]People don't call them a colonizer to keep them disenfranchised.

[00:11:00]They don't call them a colonizer to keep them oppressed because y'all are not oppressed.

[00:11:07]>> Because when they say it, they say it with hatred.

[00:11:11]>> No, they're saying it with anger and frustration because of how they're being treated. Can you imagine if every black person that said that word would lose their job?

[00:11:25]>> No, because it is not a word of equal impact.

[00:11:30]>> I don't think anyone should lose their job for a word at all. But >> so in other words, you think it's okay to be racist, huh? Look, some accountability has to be held here. I mean, the government doesn't want to make it illegal to say stuff like that.

[00:11:49]So, the least they can do is allow companies to fire said employees for doing or saying stuff like that.

[00:11:57]>> These people will get together and they'll call every organization and they'll stand out there until they get their way >> as well. They should because that's the right thing to do to hold people accountable for saying stupid racist [ __ ] like that. what those police officers go through on a daily basis and what they see every single day. I could only imagine after a while seeing the stereotypes, seeing [music] that behavior every single day can push someone.

[00:12:26]Yeah, that's not as common as you think.

[00:12:29]Because what it sounds like you're trying to say is that most black people are guilty when they end up getting arrested and thrown in prison. when in actuality the stats say that they should have never been arrested and charged in the first place because more than half of all exonerations are black people.

[00:12:49]So yes, they are still being unjustly treated.

[00:12:53]>> She wasn't saying this publicly. She was saying this in a private [music] group chat with her friends and she had one of her friends do this to her.

[00:13:02]>> Then that friend was a good person for exposing her racist ass. They should look at that. They should definitely look at that. It wasn't like she was just coming online saying that.

[00:13:11]>> She shouldn't have been saying it at all. There's nothing that could justify anyone talking like that.

[00:13:18]>> I just think that that the black community loves it. They This is a joyous day.

[00:13:25]>> Of course they love it. And it's not just the black community. It's anybody who's not racist. Of course, it's a joyous day when someone racist gets what they deserve.

[00:13:36]>> When they can catch a professional person.

[00:13:40]>> If she was such a professional, then she shouldn't have been talking like that.

[00:13:44]>> Saying something that they find racist.

[00:13:47]>> That they find racist. It was overtly racist. There's no possible way anyone can deny that that was racist.

[00:13:57]>> And they will all pounce. They will [music] pounce and go look look >> as well they should when they find somebody being racist.

[00:14:07]>> They do nothing but call the Hispanic people's and wet banks and everything else. How frequently do you really think that that happens? I'm Latino.

[00:14:20]I never had any black people call me that. And I grew up in Chicago where there's a lot of black people and a lot of Latinos.

[00:14:29]nothing happens to them.

[00:14:32]>> Too much happens to them. They're seven and a half times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of unaliving.

[00:14:41]They're eight times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of rape. And you think that nothing happens to them? And it reminds me of the black police officer that was up here on this app that I did a video about talking about I'm the one that you're white woman fears.

[00:15:00]Yeah, I totally understand that because a lot of white women will fear a black person with legal authority because that would mean that they don't have authority over said black person.

[00:15:15]That's why that statement was true.

[00:15:18]What pisses me off is that white people [music] won't come together and say, "Hey, take this black cop lady's job the same as they're going to try to take Ashley Gonzalez's job." Yeah. Probably because the white people that would speak up about it are too busy not being racist.

[00:15:37]They're actually on the right side of history.

[00:15:41]>> That woman doesn't deserve to [music] lose her job.

[00:15:44]She absolutely deserved to lose her job and then some >> because if she deserves to lose her job, everyone with colonizer in their mouth.

[00:15:53]Everyone with and wet deserves to lose their damn job, too.

[00:15:59]>> No, because those words do not have the same impact that the n-word does. And this is coming from another Latino. I mean, I don't like to be called those names, but I can honestly admit that those words are not as bad as calling a black person the n-word.

[00:16:20]>> I stand with Ashley Gonzalez.

[00:16:22]>> Yeah, you go ahead and stand with her, Karen, but don't be too surprised if someone pulls the rug out from underneath you >> for the simple fact. Words are words.

[00:16:33]>> That's easy for you to say when you're not the one being treated like they are.

[00:16:38]I think the majority of people can agree that what Ashley Gonzalez said was extremely racist and is extremely wrong. And that type of uh rhetoric [music] has no place in uh modern western society, especially a society like the United States where everybody's a melting pot of different races. And it's wrong, even more wrong because Ashley Gonzalez is a police officer. Well, as of right now, she's a police officer pending an investigation into the incident. Now, that's not the problem. The problem that I'm seeing is the way people who are responding to that incident.

[00:17:23]People are blaming Ashley Gonzalez while blaming the Latino community and labeling Hispanics, uh, Latinos as racist individuals.

[00:17:36]that my whole group of people are racist and that Ashley Gonzalez is a representation of that racism of that racism within our community. That cannot be that is completely false whatsoever because you cannot pinpoint racism to one ethnic group. Racism is a human problem.

[00:17:58]And you can if I if if you want to go with that logic, you can pinpoint racism in any racist any uh race, any ethnic group. Um white people can be racist, Asians can be racist, black people can be racist, Hispanics can be racist, um Russians can be racist, so on and so on. You get my point, right? Everybody has the potential to um express racism.

[00:18:28]Um so the response to that is very ignorant and narrow-minded. You cannot blame an entire community because of the the because of the choices of one individual made. What Ashen Gonzalez did was her own fault.

[00:18:49]It was her could have been her whatever. It's it's her own individual fault that she said that. We all grew up in the Hispanic community. We've all heard racist things, but it's up to the individual on how they want to take it. That could be that what I just said right now can be applied to different [music] ethnic groups, too. I'm sure everybody out there has heard a lot of racist things coming from their grandparents or whatever, not just Latinos, white people, etc. So, the way you combat racism is not through more racism. The way you combat racism is attacking the individual who said the racist comment.

[00:19:34]That's how you combat racism. I mean, and you can't live off of stereotypes.

[00:19:40]Human nature is very complicated. Just because I voted for Trump and I vote Republican does not mean I'm not proud to be Latino, that does not mean I'm proud of my um heritage.

[00:19:54]I look at policies.

[00:19:56]I look at economic policies. I look at what's going to benefit me, my community, and my family.

[00:20:04]But I think the response to Ashley Gonzalez is more of a liberal democrat leftist type of way of thinking. And that to me is why you people should not vote Democrat. You should lean more towards conservative beliefs. Um you should lean more towards logic logic and I think um the world would be a better place. there is no black and brown coalition and talking about the racism amongst uh white Hispanics specifically and talking about how in LA right now it's a bunch of lawsuits running rampant about these Latino supervisors um discriminating against their black American employees and I just want to say that not only is that not an LA thing that's not even a California thing that is an all over thing that are done by immigrants alike but specifically with Hispanics. A couple of months ago, I was having a conversation with my ex who is an HVAC technician and I we was talking about this and I was just like, "Man, every everywhere you go, it's a bunch of Hispanics and then you go inside these stores, they don't speak not no English. How the [ __ ] they even hire?"

[00:21:08]So, he was telling me the week before he was doing a job for Chase Bank. He walks in, all the Hispanics there, nobody speaks any English. There's one black lady there, an older black lady. He says as he goes up, he's talking to her, uh, showing her the work order and everything like that. He says before he goes outside to get his ladder, he asks her like, "How did you even get this job? Like, how do you work here like this?" And she said that she had been there over 20 years, got passed up for a promotion from a Latino man. A Latino man became the manager and he slowly but surely fired because she said there was white Americans and black Americans working there. slowly fired them one by one and now it's nothing but Hispanics, specifically white Hispanics. And this is also why I say the entire culture thing of POC and and [ __ ] like that doesn't exist because a lot of them hide behind their white cosplay. A lot of these cop videos that you see, these are white passing Hispanics. You feel what I'm saying? And when I say that, people say I'm being hateful, but you can literally Google this cop. That's what I did. You feel what I'm saying?

[00:22:10]Anti-blackness did not begin in the United States. It has deep roots across the Americas, tied to European colonization, slavery, cast systems, and the social conditioning that elevated whiteness while devaluing African ancestry. In many parts of Latin America, colonial [music] governments created racial hierarchies, systems where lighter skin often meant more privilege, while darker skin, especially black and indigenous people, faced exclusion. These attitudes did not disappear when those nations became independent. In many cases, they survived through culture, education, media, and social customs. One of the clearest examples is colorism. In many societies, people have long associated lighter skin with beauty, intelligence, wealth, and social mobility, while darker skin has been stigmatized. This has shown up in hiring discrimination, marriage expectations, family pressures, and the underrepresentation of afrocendent people in television, politics, and business.

[00:23:15]In countries like Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic, scholars have documented long histories of racial stratification and antilack prejudice, even where governments promoted the idea of racial democracy.

[00:23:31]Another important issue is blankeamento or whitening ideology. The belief explicit or implicit that society improves by becoming whiter through culture, marriage or even immigration policy.

[00:23:46]That ideology shaped national identities in parts of Latin America. It influenced how black identity was erased, minimized, [music] or treated as something to overcome. And when people migrate, they can carry those social attitudes with them.

[00:24:00]Some immigrants arrive with antilack stereotypes they learned before coming to the United States. In some cases, they may adopt existing racial structures here, including distancing themselves from black Americans to seek social acceptance. That is not unique to Hispanic communities. History shows many immigrant groups have sometimes pursued proximity to [music] whiteness as a survival strategy in America's racial order. There are historical examples of tension between some Mexican-Americans and black Americans over segregation era legal classification.

[00:24:35]Organizations like League of United Latin American citizens often argued, especially in earlier decades, that Mexican-Americans should be legally recognized as white under segregation law. That reflected the racial realities of the time and the pursuit of rights within a discriminatory system. It is also true that white supremacy has never fully embraced most Latino populations as simply white.

[00:25:00]US history shows that many Mexican-Ameans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and other Latino groups have faced segregation, exclusion, deportation campaigns, and racial hostility themselves.

[00:25:13]The same racial system that rewards proximity to whiteness can still reject those trying to align with it. That contradiction is part of how white supremacy operates. There is a growing reckoning happening now. More people are discussing antilackness within Latino families, colorism in Spanish language media, discrimination against Afro Latinos, and the myth that mestis or racial mixing eliminated racism.

[00:25:40]Younger generations are increasingly questioning those old assumptions. The deeper issue is this. Anti-blackness is not simply a Hispanic problem. It is a hemisphere-wide legacy of colonialism and white supremacy. It shaped societies from the United States to Latin America to the Caribbean. And exposing it means looking honestly at institutions, history, and culture. Tell me what you think about this topic. Hope you find the information in this video [music] informative.
