So my daughter is mixed. Im black, my husband is white. Our daughter has curly brown hair. I remember this Hispanic nurse who commented on how beautiful she is, but she immediately twisted her nose at how "fluffy" her hair is as if thats a problem. It was hurtful 😢 people give mixed and black women so much heat for wearing wigs, but at the same time they say our real hair is too fluffy and nappy and unkept. What do they expect us to do? Sometimes I feel like people don't want us to wear wigs and straight hair so they can keep laughing at us for looking so different. I've noticed that as soon as people see black girls they start flipping their hair and acting like they're in a Pantene commercial, it's like "look, I'm better than you. I'm not negra like you". If we are so disgusting to you, why did you want us to cook your foods and grow your farms and play music for you? You wouldn't have wanted us to touch anything if you thought we were so dirty

Hola, Jennifer White. Soy maestra de espanol tambien. Felicidades como la SCOLT Southern Region Maestra del Year. Gracias por este video. A mi, mis abuelitos eran mexicano americanos y por eso con mis alumnos aprendemos del pais- Mexico. Soy morena y naci en los estados unidos. Pero usamos espanol en mi casa. Conmigo la gente piense que soy Cubana. (ja,ja)

How generation of being rised un the usa for afro Latinos to become black American? Is it the second generation or third generation. Or when they lose the ability to speak Spanish?

Oh! And don't forget the native american indigenous Indian! Oh what a beautiful world of people of color, all related if you believe that Adam and Eve are the first parents. Why do we keep fighting, degrading and killing our brothers and sisters?

Hola! The afro/european/latina does not "FIT" in!

Question-- Are non black Africans considered AfricanAmazigh (“Berbers”), Europeans, Chinese, Indians, etc. Are they called Arab or Amazigh Africans, Indian Africans? Chinese Africans? etc.?!

Wrong they do not consider themselves afro-latinos despite looking African or black because the whitening of South America and the Caribbean instead of the one drop rule here in America that makes you black even if you don't look black and Latin America and in the Caribbean if you have one European ancestor despite looking black you can be considered white and many Hispanics despite looking black when they come to this country they are labeled White so ma'am please do more research before you start posting more stuff do yourself a favor go to the arterial Schomburg Museum in Harlem whenever you get the chance because he is a afro or was a afro Latino scholar from Puerto Rico a pan-africanist from Puerto Rico you would better serve yourself and your children and possibly your whole family if you actually did the work and further research because what you're putting up here is only a quarter of the story and mostly BS

Excuse Me Miss when it comes to Puerto Rico that's a different line because you have plenty of Afro Latinas dad had moved to the US Generations ago and are nuyoricans that do not speak Spanish or speak a form of Spanglish Spanish because they want them to be American

Excuse me in hip hop theres plenty of straight Afro latinos . The group nice and smooth from the early 90s were Panamanian and Honduran Dominican straight up . They were the first to have a Spanish bside to their rap album.

Miss please this list isnt fully accurate you need to get more in depth

Excuse me miss many so called African americans are Afro latinos who are generationally from America. Please me read more 🙏🏾

What DNA / Genetic test did you take? I’m curious I know I have African in my family but wanted to know more of the break down my father a black Colombian and mother white Dominican everyone based on TV thinks it’s the other way around ..stereotyping lol 😅 I’ve know all my life on my father side his great grandmother was from Aftrica and considering his complexion but I personally didn’t identify I’m alight tone as my mother not so good hair lol 😅 but born raised in NYC I was not allowed to identify black I was treated poorly by the black girls I grow up in the 90’s as they say now if you know you know what that time was like. Aways let me cut this I loved your video I don’t think I’ll identify other than what I do now but I want to know for myself and my children thank you again great video

Funny yall quick to say yall not black but everything about your Hispanic culture came from Africa. The foods you love didnt come fro. Spain nor the indigenous people the mysic you love the dances you love DOESNT COME FROM SPAIN NOR THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION IT CAME FROM THE AFRICAN ANCESTORS.

No Afro mean from Africa my love

Im black american but i found i have native ( indigenous mexican and Dominican ancestry besides spanish and Portuguese. But im black period

Dominicans arent a race its a nationality.

6% indigenous

Miguel is Afro Mexican Mariah is Afro Venezuelan and the man on top is Afro cuban

All of them in the picture are actually

I dnt respect those who clearly look the part but then say I NO BLACK IM DOMINICAN ETC WYM STUPID!! Your BLACK FROM DR. Etc. I teach my kids they are Afro latinos from Dr. PR AND America and blacks have history everywhere and they are still Afro latinos looking racial ambiguous as they do.

Si this agenda is real! The blacks trying to imposed their ethnicity all around the world. To the point that they even there to say that they being in america even before the Mayas!! The only black countries in America are RD. Haiti, Jamaica,and the Caribbean islands, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil. The rest of the countries didn’t have black population due to the fact that the colonialists countries didn’t have the need to bring back then black slaves in the rest of the countries. But they were slaves in their own countries. And there isn’t such a thing as a black Latino, You are Latino not by or for the color of your skin but rather because you speak a language that derives from the Latin as; French, Italian,Spanish and Rumanian. So therefore you are not a black Latino, a white Latino, a brown Latino… Stop this bs!!

"Promosm" 🎉

Very interesting don’t forget to visit Africa Ghana with your family trust me it will be a culture shock for you and your family

AFROLATINO= EURODECENDENT + AFRODECENDENT AFROLATINO = HISPANIC

It sounds like people around you choose your identity for you? For me being Cuban and Puerto Rican usa born Latino. I grew up thinking i was Black, based on my knowledge of race. Which at the time was only 3 .whote, black and Asian..but after studying biology and history, i agree with most scientists that say race is s social construct, not biological. And with the FBA movement, i switched back to calling myself Hispanic, for ethnicity. As for race , which I don't believe in any more. I would say that i am mixed race . Which most Latinos are.

Cuánto mayate 😂😂

Omg I’ve been there!

How can I join your class I wanna learn Spanish

I'm proud of my Afro Latin American (Puerto Rican and Cuban) roots. We are a double minority in the United States. People don't realize that race is nothing more than an illusion that doesn't exist that we unfortunately play into. We're of African descent whether it's us Afro Latin Americans, Afro Caribbeans, Africans and African Americans. Yes, we're definitely not recognized especially in the majority of the South and Western US.

Afro what? 😂😂😂😂😂 I thought we were Latinos no matter the color of our skin or the race you can go calling yourself African when your last name is Castillo, de Jesus, Rodríguez, Jiménez, we mostly a mixed of European blood and native American, sadly for you most of Latinos don't buy BLM sort of agendas.

Hi, I am an Afro-Latina Spanish teacher from Honduras. Love your video and I will be sharing it with my Spanish class students! Thank you!

Kind Teacher lady, with utmost respect: please sharpen up on the distinctions between: Ethnicity, nationality, & skin color based racial categories (see who & how Anthropology was invented)... You are a wonderful conveyor of information. Much needed information..🙏🏽🖖🏽

Dope video! English teacher here. I will be using this video to share with my Emergent Bilingual students!

I am Haitian of French ancestry who's language is French and I am a part of The Latin Community.

What is your ethnicity?

YAYAYAYA! This is awesome. I'm so proud of you. I am sharing this in my Black Latinx Class so get ready for an uptick in view ;-)

Good video. Good basic explanations. Thanks, this will be helpful......🙂

They came to the Dominican Republic to do a survey of 1,000 black people, and decided that now er are not latinoes but African Dominicans. I love Africans, but there are so many lies out there that people are waiking up.

I am an educator!!! Hola!!!! Me disfrute este video. Ya hiciste muy bien explicando quien es los afro-latinos. Gracias por compartir la informacion.

This is great video but I think it’s important to actually understand the difference between being Afro-Latino and being Afro-Hispanic. You only acknowledged the Spanish speakers when Afro-Latinos also come from countries that speak Portuguese and French. This video is a great explainer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/faikaNV-qZjFdJc.html Respectfully, A French Afro-Latino Hope this helps!

The origin of people in the Western Hemisphere whose roots are African can't be in any way "Latinos" because they do NOT have any historical, cultural, or biological connections with Italy. Latinos are the Italians or Greeks and others but not Africans or natives. The correct way to identify yourself is afro-descendiente [Spanish] or afro-descendant [English]. Know who you really are!

Ain’t not such thing as Afro Latina lol when was they known for wearing Afros , literally just found out they existed now they trynna claim Afro smh the white people were right about color people

I appreciate your content. I think its a great tool to teach non-latinos, about “latinidad”. I think catogogries like “Hispanic” or “Latino”, can be very confusing for Americans (US), especially those without access, proximity to, or relationships with, Latinos. Unfortunately those categories are inserted in spaces with racial classifications, without context. Aside from, terms like non White Hispanic, or Hispanic not Black. However, this clearly ignores Asian, Pacific Islander or Indigenous, all of which, can aslo be and have been a part of the Latino experience. That being said, I believe it is our responsibility as Afro Latinos to address this disconnect. As imigrants, it is our responsibility to articulate ourselves in a way which can be understood by those outside of our traditions. While many of us have major issues with the US approach to race based on the one drop, this is the construct within we are seen and heard, when in the states. As your brother, I would like to share some constructive criticism, and I believe the rationale impacting how the Spanish colonists approached enslavement within the context of the colonial construct. Why the erasure and degradation of Blackness, was systematic, while our music, food, religion, dance, knowledge of the environment, was used to create nationalistic cultures, in white or white adjacet faces. @Afro-Latina Teacher, it would be intresting to hear your thoughts on Black imigration to the Dominican Republic, from the english speaking Caribean and the US. We all have deep conections and are more similar than not.

English and Spanish teacher here! I am Brazilian and I'm studying about and chasing my afrolatino roots! Thanks very much for your content and bringing it up!

I can’t watch this any further, it makes me angry cause you letting white supremacy dictate for you and most of you wanna side with ws because it s convenient for you it’s sucks.

Really you didn’t know, you got to be kidding me and you are a teacher! That’s an excusable.

Being black is having African ancestry not being of the black race; theres no race

Theres actually no race but just sub categories of the human specie

WHO ARE CAUCASIAN LATINOS AND WHY DOES IT REALLY MATTER LETS LET GO OF THE COLOR OF SKIN OPSESION ALREADY HUMAN IS HUMAN PERIOD

I know most afro Latino maybe live in Columbia, Dominican republic,cuban and Brazil.
