Yikes

How latinos have African descent when Africans don't even speak Spanish they speak French. I never seen no African they speak Spanish.

Exactly. I'm Afro Latino as well and I know that Latin America has a lot of black history like the US. In fact, Latin America and the Caribbean had a larger slave trade than the American south.

Yep

I met a dude from Guerrero that was a Black Mexican. He said the coyote that smuggled people into the US , told him to just walk across they wouldn't ask him shit, and thats what he did.This was back in the 80's , I guess they just thought he was a Black American. 😂

@@abrahamgustavoguitiperez-m2937facts I never even heard of afro Dominican before

Dominican people accepting being Afro is amazing, I've never seen it, but you are realistic in accepting being African because all music in North and South America is originated by Africans example: Soul, rock, salsa, rumba, jazz, r & b , new jack swing etc...

How is it that you ate lunch form the same boar if you have native american blood and Spanish blood how can you say that you came from the sa e boat when your Spanish a d native american blood doesn't came from Africa

And whats the race of your mexican side? Since mexican is not a race

That’s not what Afro-Latino/a means. It does not mean one Black parent and one Latino parent. It means to be the descendant of Black, African Latin Americans. Your African descent comes from the United States, not Latin America. There’s a distinct difference.

@@joronelis saying this to ignorant americans is like to talk with a wall

Actually she does. There are a lot of African Americans who do not know the culture and history of Afro Latinos. I think your comment is very condescending and it attempts to disregard the history and culture of Afro Latinos. They DO NOT share the same culture as AFRICAN AMERICANS. Are they of African descent? Yes they are. However, having the same skin color does not mean you have the same culture. Even in the United States of America African Americans in the north have different cultures and African Americans in the south. Nowhere in this video did she say that she was not black. You need to go back and listen to the video and comprehend what she is saying. Stop putting your personal perspectives and narratives on how a person views their own culture and history. And this is coming from me a person of African American descent who knows how to appreciate other cultures while taking pride in my own. Her talking about her race and ethnicity doesn't affect me because I know who I am.

@@TheOnlyLadyBella you got all that from my comment you need to read my comments so called black american. when black american see her they say she is black we say everbody of african decent black until they say something different like most dominicans and other ppl from the diaspora. And your not talking to an idiot i know there are different cultures bc these so called afro latina will tell you they are something different from you it look like you have to get off of your chest an im not the one to do that with so keep your comment to yourself bc we can really go there about afro latina but i really dont want to have a convo with you if your really and black american.

🤣🤣 I could give you a list of "African Americans" who doesn't want to be black 🤔

@@TheOnlyLadyBella most black Americans already know this. The problem is that some Afro Latinos would rather identify with their white counterparts, such as Enrique Tarrio. I understand what you're saying about being culturally different because a lot of us "African Americans" don't like nor do we claim the term. We culturally feel very far removed from Africa. We have been over here for centuries, paved the way for a lot of black immigrants to be able to migrate here and a lot of the times receive a lot of hate from them.

@@vladputin2466 and we don't give a fuck about them, so what's your point?

@Nino Brown neither black or white is a race. They are statuses. How can it be a race when there were socalled blacks back in the 16-1800's classified as white , they were landowners but now their status was changed to black on the very census that you referred to...lol Was mulatto or colored races too?

Black is a race when talking about humans💀 you sound dumb asf. We are called “people of colour” for a reason

Actually black means the absent of color. Brown, melanin

@@elallen4399 I don’t understand your question, we don’t want to act like no African, tf are you talking about???

​@@elallen4399We Black Americans not "African". We have African ancestry as many groups do. The term AA should've never existed but it seems we're stuck with it.

Thank you I get tired of this. African Americans black Americans are highly intelligent, especially black American women . We know that difference sis

Y’all confused af. When Europeans relocate to America they just want to be White. Same for Asians. They accept being that one thing although they are diverse. But Black peoples from Latin countries want to be so specific as to not be deemed the same as foundational Black Americans. It is sad. I guess Black Hispanics have been discriminated against in their home countries and by family and society that America is a new start for them to identify as something different.

Socially No. They too pure black and no-one knows what the hell they saying.

South America became Latino in the same moment central America, Caribbean and so on also became. When we get colonized and eventually independent.

Black is a race. Black simply refers to people who have DNA that originates from Africa. Are you implying all those people don't have races?

@@basstt5615 black is an indicator of how they should treat you IE status. You are a Hebrew, Jew, or Israelite. Well that's how I identify myself.

She never said y’all did. Brazil is still considered part of Latin America. Brazilians are Latino but not Hispanic. Portuguese and Spanish are sister languages and cultures

She didn't say that, but since some people consider the fact that Brazil is in Latin America & being Latin American & being Hispanic isn't the same thing. People can get confused with that though since most Latin American countries are also Hispanic countries as well, like ppl from Spain are Hispanic, not Latin American & ppl from Brazil are Latin American not Hispanic.

​@@fernvillyess, like Spain is Hispanic but not Latin American as well, just that some people assume Brazilians might be Hispanic & Spain is Latin American because most countries share being Hispanic & Latin American

Mexicans can be of any race. White, brown, black even Chinese. I’ve seen tall white blonde blue eyed Mexican as well as Mexicans of Asian decent. The Mexicans you see in Mexico are more diverse than the ones you meet in the US.

Yeah I know. That’s why I love staying in Mexico. My culture is amazing

Define black

Ella es negra y ya!

They're black just like you, the only difference between Black Americans and Afro-Latinos is that your ancestors were brought to different countries. Just because they speak Spanish or Portuguese doesn't mean that they aren't Black. She's just trying to explain the difference and it's very true that many African Americans and Americans in general don't know the difference, I've had to explain it to many people myself. You can be Black and still be from any culture or ethnic background. Why do you seem offended by what she said? Laz Alonso said it the best, "We need to stop focusing on where the boat dropped us off and remember where the boat picked us up" There should be unity not hate

we are better

By definition they are. They were colonized by the French and speak French/Haitian Creole which Latino includes French Latin Americans

@@jaylindr3723 They're not, only people of Portuguese and Spanish descent/culture call themselves Afro-Latino and even then, not all are. Arubans and Curacao speak a Portuguese Creole, but don't call themselves Latinos and aren't Latino because they don't have specific Iberian/Spanish-Portuguese, African and Meso-american culture that is known as general Latino culture.

But I’m Haitian and Dominican so what would that make me?

@@toade1583 Haitians are latinos, they were colonized by the french. By definition, latin american people are those that come from a country that was in the past colonized mainly by Spain, Portugal and France. Haitians speak they're creole which is pretty similar to french. Also Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire were colonized by the Netherlands, that's why those are not called Latino countries even tho papiamento is a mixture of portuguese, spanish, dutch, west african languages and arawak language. Also no surprise these islands have romance languages influence since they're near other Spanish speaking countries.

@@DIM3S777 I don’t know how large the Haitian/Dominican or Haitian/ Cuban population is but we have only call ourselves creole never Latinos although Haitian is considered part of Latin America.
