I'm stealing your first sentence and using it from now on when I have these type of discussions😂. You are on point. But it's true, the damage the media does in the U.S. is frightening.

Yanelsy Reyes and our food is the bomb!!!!!

you sound really lost

@@terradaktal8318, nobody is lost except you

Dennis If you all wanna make your own races now

EVERYONE WHO IS BLACK IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE IS NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN!!

Dennis or somebody like me that is Afro latina my Mom is black and my dad is Latino and his dad is from Cuba 🤦🏽‍♀️

@@Gods_Child_777_ In the West Indies,South America and Central America was America before North America was and America is in not only confined to the U.S.A.!

EXACTLY I’m African-American/Dominican and I’m dark skinned and black so people who are my skin color in the Latino community get an even worse end of the stick when it comes to this. We need rep for the Afro latinos like David Ortiz, Amara la negra and Ylan Noel types who can’t pass for mixed at first glance.

@@jaylindr3723 How are you an ethnic group and a Country?

@@bootbredda2724 Dominican is an ethnic group as well as a nationality. The Dominican Republic is the country and it’s citizens and descendants are referred to as Dominicans. There are smaller ethnic groups within the DR like Lebanese-Dominicans, Chinese-Dominican or Afro-Dominican but I like to just say Dominican since the majority of Dominicans have some African blood.

@@jaylindr3723 So you're American and Dominican

@@bootbredda2724 Short answer, yes.

Raquel Batun-Buford thank you for you info. You wanna a medal because someone in your house is black????

Lo que ocurre es que están analizando nuestra realidad desde un punto de vista estadounidense y ello les lleva a conclusiones equivocadas. Me parece que estas tres personas han sido objeto de racismo. Eso afortunadamente no es el caso en nuestros paises. Ojalá puedan ustedes hacer que el tratamiento hacia los hispanos mejore en US.

tiliya Diaz Why is it every body wanna BE puertorrican

U need to be my wife

You said Black, Brazilian and Dominican? Black is a race and not nationality. What do you mean by black? My husband is black and he’s from Haiti 🇭🇹

@@icecreambeats101 african Americans Anglo from United States use black.

@@Xenlacasa45 ahh ok. Even in Brazil a lot o the blacks like my sister in law would stay she’s black. Race wise. But I learned in america that many there refer to black and white as a nationality

Um we're a lot different! 😂

+Latina Mia please shed some light how you are different other than your language??? You Latinos need to get off of your high horse because you really are not that different!!! That's what you want to tell yourselves to separate yourselves from African-Americans, but there is no difference. Are you trying to say that a negative way because I have grown up around Dominicans and Puerto Ricans there is no difference at all!!! The only ones who were different were Cubans because they co-existed with Caucasians. All of the negative stereotypes thrown at African-Americans can also be applied to you Latinos, especially when it comes to loudness and being ratchet!!! Culturally, yes there are a lot of difference, but physical features and personality, NO!!!

+MADNEW YORKER Personality is not based on ethnicity or culture... but how you grew up. And culture of course is different but a lot of our mindset is different. Doesn't make us better because no person is better than the next. BUT we don't hold ourselve to the complex many African Americans have.

Latina Mia and what is that complex??? Your are being evasive right now, and I am referring to your last two comments.

Bo Derek She can't!!! That attitude is deeply embedded in that hispanic culture.

Dover el cuervo porfavor sin ofender mejora tu ortografía me arden los ojos

Dover el cuervo los sudamericanos no aparte de Brasil y Colombia pero los caribeños??? Haiti,R.D,Cuba..

Así somos, queremos hablar de nuestra cultura pero lo asemos mal, quizá nos avergonzarnos de nuestro idiomas. Otra cosa yo soy boricua o sea hispano no latino, porque hablo español no latín. Un error que se debe corregir, hispano no latino, por favor entienda lo, hispano porque es español que hablamos.

+Dennis They're often erased and their identity is often delegitimized because too many people believe that "Latino" has a certain look and that once you're too dark or too light, you aren't Latino. Many Latin societies refuse to accept Afro-Latinos as their Latino counterparts and many Afro-Latinos refuse to admit the "Afro" part of their identity. Hope this helped!

+Kendall Scott Very true

+Kendall Scott and that is a damn shame!!! Being black is a beautiful thing, no matter what nationality!!!

Latin American is still race based like north America ( even more prejudice).. you have the white, black, brown and so on. And blacks are still treated as second class citizens.

Nigga you need to go back to school

you're an idiot.

I don't think this was a fail. But I DO agree that this was not a great representation. Afro Latinos are not always a light skin mix. Where is you are light skin, you may pass for being mixed. A lot of us are very dark skin, and we pass for black only. (Which is beautiful) Many people on this Afro Latino wave are coming out more lighter and lighter these days. JLo and Evelyn Lozada are trying to rep. And honeslty, its not a fad. So these documetaries respresentation is EXTREMELY important to see that Afro Latinos represent looking light skin black AND Darkskin black. In these New "Afro Latino" documentaries we see a lot less of original Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and more of replacment Aunt Viv. Can't we have both? A range of colors. With kinky hair and all. JLO and Evelyn Lozado can have their own mestizo group.

@A rose is a rose Representation is key. Just saying that this platform is now being looked at and noticed.People are being education about Afro-Latinos with knowledge they never had because of ignorance. All they are learning that what Afro Latinos look like is lightskinned. But we represent soooo many colors from light to dark. Wouldn't you want the ignorant to educatued by true representation. What's wrong with including some of all the shade spectrum from butter peacan to dark chocolate. That way, in the future, a very dark skinned Latina won't hear " Oh you Puerto Rican?.... You don't look it." The more of a variety that is exposed the less questioning the validiity. Because by then Afro Latinos from all shades will be the norm.

Sorry bro on that one you are wrong.. You can go into Columbia, Cuba and some parts of Peru and swear you are in Africa.. More than north America, south American blacks still retain more of the African Culture That's because you only see what's on the media and have been there... before we speak of subjects make sure you know.

We know you are mixed with more african!!!

No African Americans still haven't had an African American in the White House

​​@@bootbredda2724 facts well Michelle was living in the White House

@@youmeanblackamericanculture True

Hermano latinoamerica es una mezcla de europea,africana,indígena incluye a África también me imagino que tienes que ser de América de Sur

Esta lógica es tan ignorante y estúpido... Ser latino es sobre la cultura y patrimonio no la país de nacimiento. Por ejemplo, un gran parte de EEUU era parte de Mexico y la cultura es todavía destacada.

Afro Latina had their culture taken away also. That's why they speak Spanish. Indigenous natives did not speak Spanish nor did the African slaves speak Spanish originally. Spanish is the slave masters language just like English.

So what about if you have one mixed parent and the other is afro Caribbean? Your still saying not black???

+Carolyn Rome I think you are correct in some respects.. I think most people think that most Afro Latinos try to escape the stigma by over identity with blackness. I am Afro Arab (black Arab) and my husband is Afro Latino.. To both of us we are black first, but this isnt the with most Afro Latinos

+Carolyn Rome I didnt even know blacks existed in south america. k-12 grade it wasnt even mentioned once. I think the media and schools are racist in hiding afro latinos.

Both of u all I enjoyed your feed back I just want people to know and appreciate us for who we are and what we are We are here and we matter

Its cause a lot of black americans are uneducated and don't know anything and lmaoo and the latinos that have "the latino look" dont even know that their racially native american lmao. Just lack of education

+Bethany Morrison why would you say something so ignorant like that about African-Americans??? Why would we want to know about a culture with a serious identity problem do to complexion??? We have our own culture to be proud of!!! And their are a large number of educated African-Americans for your information.

Dont worry about us , we doing fine, Try to use that time in your own people

They need more help than some others

@A rose is a rose One love brotha..

Then you are cuban.

@@Xenlacasa45 noooo my parents are cuban, i am a black American..

@@terradaktal8318 if your parents are cuban then so are you. You have right of blood. You don’t get to decide to be a black American if neither of your parents are black American.

@@Xenlacasa45 there is no such thing as cuban blood.. Africans were brought there as slaves.. i am black in America, so i am black American.. not for you to tell me who i am.. I am not cuban because of my parents, that's just a nationality. Trump grand parents are from Germany, does that make him German or White American.. we all have a background... I am not Spanish, i am not from Spain nor or my parents.

@@terradaktal8318 you are cuban end of story

Explain your reason?

@@terrencetaylor8196 It's not my reasoning its fact. Latins mixed along time ago they happened to mix with so called black people that's were the name latinos comes from. This was before and during the time of Carthage . So to be latino you have to have some black in you period. So there is no such thing as afro latino it's a trick that stops people from researching and learning the true history of the word.theres more to it than that but this is the basis of why theres no such thing as afro latino. You can't be latino unless there is some black in you. Hint in history every time a people mix there is an "s" or an "ish " added to the end of there names. Jew mix jewish , latin mix Latinos, . The show black mix blackish. Britt mix British. Indian mix Indians. This is a great research rule to check when looking at historic events and nations. Sorry so long was trying to give you a good start on understanding how these words truly work in history .not our water down prideful preconceived thoughts and notions that lead us in the wrong direction. Tell me what you think about this?

@@topcatseriosblack8396 ok white boy

@@theduster01b91 Yep Irish Scottish and English some fake white Indian also 😂 lol ! But never a boy ! Remember that !

Puerto rican isnt a race, its a nationality which means if you weren't born there you aren't Puerto Rican. Puerto Rican races consist of Taino, which were the indigenous people of pr, African, and European (the colonizers)

Gregory Walters DUDE DONT BE A TROLLER. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE

i love chanhun shut up 🙄

No such thing as a full Puerto Rican unless she is a native Indian.

To me it just Latino, or are gonna start calling indio latino. Or Asian latino, no

@@tonyvega7268 Can you state what latino is or do you even know . Or do you think what you idea of things will completely shape how the world perceives latinos. If I were you I would start with the first one. What is your definition of a latino person. I'll wait.

@@tonyvega7268 Look up south America's caste system it names indios and Asian and more under different names. But all considered latino. So yes they already did start calling them Latinos.

@@tonyvega7268 Still waiting

Ok white boy

Natives came from Asia and established their own civilizations they didn’t come from Africa wtf.
