Frodo’s a nepo baby when you think about it but like for sucky things. That’s your uncle’s evil ring? That’s your uncle’s wizard that took you on an adventure? That’s your uncle’s feud with a homicidal gremlin man that’s after your uncle’s ring? Great

"rest in power" is for black people who have lost their lives to antiblack violence. we shouldnt have to keep saying this and you all shouldnt keep ignoring us.
the first documented uses of it are from Latinos in the LA and Bay Area graffiti scenes. No reason to think it was exclusively Latino but no reason to think they "appropriated" it from an original exclusively Black usage either
Black + Latino ppl have had a long interconnected past including the very existence of Black Latinos. The issue is white people using it for other white ppl.
"Black + white people have had a long interconnected past including the very existence of Black/white biracial people."
Your post is nonsensical. Non-Black Latinos can also be really racist towards Black people (including towards Black Latinos), as much as non-Latino white people can be.
Regardless, you've provided no proof that there was an original Black/Latino exclusive ownership of the phrase that got 'appropriated' by white people using it for other white people.

I never was a big emo guy and I probably couldn't name more than three Hawthorne Heights songs but my current thing has been getting CDs from the library to listen to in the car so I picked up a Hawthorne Heights one last time I was checking stuff out and I was playing it in the car with a friend who asked which album it was and I was like I don't really know I just grabbed it from the library and then we looked at the CD case and got collectively jump scared by the fact it came out in 2021.
The thing about people talking about how much they hate children is that I've never seen any correlation between "openly expressed loathing of children" and "support for policies that actively harm children."
In contrast, when people go out of their way to tell you how much they love children and want to protect children, it's at least a 50/50 chance that you are about to hear support for the most actively evil assault on children's rights and dignity that you can possibly imagine.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders has built an entire political persona on being a "mama bear" who protects innocent children from groomers and also she has changed the law so that immigrant children are literally risking life and limb to work in slaughterhouses instead of going to school. It is an example so cartoonish you'd think I'd made it up! But these are not unrelated political positions! A suffocating vVctorian cosseting for white me and a Dickensian drudgery for black and brown thee!

Look, nationalism is stupid. Nationalism is a grift. Nation-states are a bad basis for the global international order. But “your nation is fake” is just… it’s an inane argument! It doesn’t matter of your nation is 350 ethnicities in a trench coat, or if it’s not old enough to drive, or if it was invented to justify the rule of some inbred tyrant in the Middle Ages. Nations exist by virtue of people identifying with them; the only way a nation can be fake is if nobody identifies with it. And people plainly identify as Americans! Enthusiastically so! Of diverse ethnicities and languages!
“America isn’t a nation” is just a basic category error. You have misunderstood what a nation is. It’s not a bloodline or a patch of land or even something that has to be philosophically coherent and defensible. It’s a feeling! It’s a vibe! You think Germanness is any more coherent than Americanness? It’s completely fuckin’ arbitrary! They all are!
