Morena is a form of endearment. I love being called morena because I feel like my skin is beautiful and it’s being acknowledged. Idk it doesn’t make sense in English but in Spanish that’s what I can describe it as. I am Dominican and my mom and sister look white so I would be called morena if someone was to describe me.

Im a 43 old spanish guy...The three kings thing is because here in Spain i didnt saw a black human being in my city until i had 25 years old. And here Baltasar (the black king) is the favorite of us all.

Melchor is the black king. SO therefore when people impersonate the Kings black face may be needed. Remember you are not in the USA. Do not apply USA rules to Spain. You should not demand to the local culture to change to your taste.

I'm was thinking about moving to Spain for various reasons but being the father of 2 black children this was a worry of mine. While I am of Afro-Caribbean descent I'm so fair skinned that most people don't believe I am Haitian and Dominican. That being said black face would offend me as well & not just for the sake of my children. This video helped put my mind at ease a bit though. Thank you!

Hi munny I'm a dad from Spain, let me tell you that most likely your kids will be treated great. If you can, have a vacations in Malaga or Seville (South of Spain) or Valencia (at the East) they are relaxed cities and will give you time to understand us a bit better. For the black face situation, the tradition as explained in the video, is for the three wise kings to represent one from Europe Melchor, one from East Gaspar and one which represent Africa Baltasar (here known as three Wizard Kings) so every year schools ask volunteers between fathers to act as the Kings. If that year the school has no black dads who can lend a hand they had little option because noone outside the moms, dads or school staff is allowed to enter the school for safety reasons. We also make one great parade for the Kings in every city and village and when black voluntaires are available they are granted the position of King Gaspar or his servents. But as you see is not always possible. Sorry if this made you unconfortable, but was never our intention. This is all made with respect and having in mind that Baltasar is a figure as respected here as Santa is in US.

We Spanish men tend to stare at women (from all backgrounds) probably in a way that for Americans would probably be felt as disrespectfull. Sorry for that, that's a cultural difference right there. Curiosity, attraction...You name it. In response, Spanish girls treat us back (usually) with disdain. I know it's a different game than in the USA. I am sure that in your case those stares ware exactly that case. Most surely nothing to do with racism. Ask your Spanish girl friends about it.

With the black face thing, I would have been very happy with them maybe feeling guilty as I walked into the room. That means they got heart and care about your feelings. Cuz BAE-BAE! I live in Chicago suburbs ok. When they do black face here they do not care! No one has a conscious. Hatred prevails. And had you walked into that same room here? You most likely would have ended up missing. The fact they felt uncomfortable doing that in front of you' and YOU are in THEIR country. Despite that they felt respect for you and felt guilty. That's awesome!

Hi Queen, when you have time study The Moors and Berbers.The Moors and Berbers ran the area we know as spain, built castles and fortress and had armys...check the old spain flags with the black faces. Also The Black Madonna some say the statues's faces are dark because of oxidation... no the first virgin child birth to place in Africa in the area of Kem/egypt/the black land. King Asar, Queen Isis and their virgin born son "Heru". This is why the pope and other european noblemen bow down to the Black Madonna because this is where the Mothe Father and Child stories we know, came from. Let your study go way beyond the inventions of the religions. ASE' and Be Empowered! ✊️

Hi Taylor I'm from Spain and I'm sorry you had a bad expirience with the Baltazar King painted face, I know it will not excuse the action but let me try to explain. In Spain Black people were nearly non existent untill 1970's, the tradition as you explained is for the three wise kings (here known as three Wizard Kings) so every year schools ask volunteers between fathers to act as the Kings. If that year the school has no black dads who can lend a hand they had little option because noone outside the moms, dads or school staff is allowed to enter the school for safety reasons. Hope this helps ;)

Morena no es despectivo en absoluto, es descrptivo. Tambén puedes encontrar llamar rubia de la misma manera. O rojo a un hombre pelirojo. El que un hombre se disfrace de rey Baltasar pintando la cara, es usual y no tiene ningún tono ofensivo. Ahora puede que veas bastantes hombres negros, especialmente en una gran ciudad, pero hace no tanto no era así. Así que la solución era maquillarsevpara oscurecer la csra y guantes negros. Es algo que no tiene ninguna intención te usurpar o menospreciar, simplemente antes era casi imposible que para la fiesta del colegio hubiese un padre negro que pudiera interpretar ese papel, o para la cabalgata del pueblo. Son muchas generaciones adoptando esa solución, por lo que nadie piensa que pueda ser ofensivo hasta que pasa que una de las profes sea negra y lo mire extrañada 😄. Piensa que lis Reyes Magos son personajes muy queridos en España, el que uno de ellos sea negro, lejos de ser racista es onclusivo y normalizador de la diversidad étnica.

The "black face" Three Kings thing is actually a (small, fortunately) political issue here. Right leaning parties insist on using it while left leaning ones don't unless there's no alternative (i.e. small villages with low population). Madrid is ruled by the right nowadays, so there's the cause of what you have seen. In a particularly funny moment, a far right party mounted an alternative parade to the official one organized by a left government of the city (back then), which they considered too "untraditional". They had a neo-nazi guy with painted face pose as Balthazar, and his angry face at the parade became a meme we laughed at. They're just too dumb to take them seriously.

@@TaylorFaye You have the problem in the US, in Spain various races have coexisted for centuries, various peoples have passed through Spain, and this is even noticeable in the colonization of America. The first Spaniard to set foot in America mixed with a native (Hernán Cortés). The English case was different, where there was never any miscegenation and where people lived segmented by race until 1960. Hence you have this madness with races, and you see micro-madness in anything.

Morena is Spanish for Moor and Moor is what we called ourselves. Moors invaded Spain in 711 and ruled until 1492. As we lost power the called us Blackamoor then they called Black. We never called ourselves Black, Europeans called us that which is disrespectful. Stop calling yourself Black and research on Moorish history.
