Addressing Anti-blackness In Latino Communities 

Plenty of latinos agree with her but not in public.

When people show you who they really are, stop expecting an apology. No need to support these kind of negative minded people.

Black people need to stand up for themselves and stop taking sh! from people. Stop begging these people for love and tolerance. Be firm and assertive. 😤

As a black man I look straight ahead and mind my business and greet my own people. I don’t mingle with others anymore frl.

I'm half Dominican and it doesn't shock a surprise me because people really believe that there is a black and brown coalition but it really isn't. It's people like her that make me never spoke about my Dominican side

I’m afro-latina and she is racist. Her comments against black people AND indigenous people are racist. I wish the news would also play the comments about indigenous people as well. Both groups are negatively targeted in various Latin communities. Being a white passing Latina doesn’t make you better than anyone else.

I watched a documentary by Henry Lewis Gates about racism in Latin countries, it's pretty extreme. Historically and at present people are labeled based on their skin color and it is extreme. In their Hall of government, they have potraits of latin people and based on the color of the skin, the people are placed into specific groups. I rember in Brazil when a very beautiful dark brown woman was selected as Carnival queen or something and the country started featuring her in ads to promote Carnival, people complained that her skin was too dark. The officials replaced her before the event with a very light skin person. When Obama was running for president my work associate, a latina, and I talked all the time about everything. She had told her family she was voting for Obama, her mother told her she couldn't. Her only reason was that Obama is black. This attitude Latin Americans have as well as the attitudes from Native Americans, Asians, Indians, and any where else around the world toward dark black people will never change. They all learned from the biggest racist in the world, yt people. They all still want to be accepted by yt people. It is now 2022, racism is not going anywhere.

I'm glad they are talking about this. I'm afro Latina and colorism and racism is very much an issue in our latin community.

This segment is exactly why this show should NOT-have been cancelled! Who else is having these types of conversations?

I've experienced anti-black attitudes and micro-agressions in Latino community, even in my family. The legacy of colorism and colonialism is so ingrained in many Latino countries but is rarely talked about or seen as a problem.While Martinez's comments don't reflect all Latinos, they reflect many and put a spotlight on the need to educate and call it out.

There is also racism among the Latinos themselves, I thank God that my grandmother raised me to love all people, we all are made in the image of God.

Hispanics, like Asian has often felt like they better because they are mostly of light complexion.

People make a mistake if they think demographics will change anything. I love to watch TV made in Mexico and one thing is striking, European looking people in Mexico are a tiny minority but they make up 100 % of the actors , why is that ?

Let me tell you, ALL something, every ethnicity, thru out this world look down on black ethnicity, point blank period. That's why we as black people needs to stay in our own community and stop being so accepting if anyone besides our own, because our community as a whole is always at the back if the line! When we fought for civil rights and the bill was passed, every other people jumped under that umbrella and profited from it over our people that died for it!

Coexisting and coalition are not the same...There has Never been a "Black & Brown" coalition.

I am a dark skinned Puerto rican. I know the history of my island. this is something I have seen my whole life and it's sad

About time this topic is finally out in the open. The rampant racism among Latinos here in the US is absolutely staggering. I've noticed this as part of my job where I first encountered such attitudes, which are not confined to S. Cal, Florida, or Texas. It is a widespread malaise spread across Latino culture no matter which income level.

I'm black and I'm glad that I was raised by good parents to love all race no matter what!

It is time for people in the black community to encourage their children to go into politics and law enforcement just like every other race. Not to dilute the vote of others but to be the representation for their community. I have been in numerous settings where I was ousted by those in the Latin community, simply because I am black. Are all Latins like that, No, however, we have to admit, there is a significant who oppose those from the black community and think they have a higher status than us.

I used to work at a company where the lady in charge was a Latina [Mexican heritage] from TX, and she was the biggest Trump supporter [Qanon] and said comments that were homophobic, Pro-Trump Wall, and I knew she was anti-black from the treatment of myself and others at the company. Many also felt that hate was present over there; over the years, I saw it more and more of it and decided to leave. She was sick.

There’s no brown black unity 😂😂

The Prejudice, Colorism & Phenotypism is rampant in the Latino community. Especially so from the Mexican and Central/South American communities. I can personally speak from my experiences as a dark skinned Puerto Rican of African descent (Afro Puerto Rican) who’s both parents stem from Puerto Rico and friends and associates who are also dark skinned Afro Latinos stemming from the different Spanish speaking countries throughout Latin America (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil etc.,)

My understanding is Latino is a ethnicity, not a race. There are plenty of Black Latinos and Latinas. Prejudice is plain stupid in all colors and ethnicities 💯

I am an African American woman with an adopted son here in District 6 of Los Angeles CA Nury Martinez WAS my city councilman and I'm glad she's gone she absolutely did not represent me and how dare she attack an adopted child they have already lost so much and we work so hard to keep them from feeling that loss Nury Martinez racism and anti-blackness was not a shock for me because we deal with it way too often but I was appalled she attacked a child What shocked me was how quick the Latino community responded in rejecting her antics That made me so so proud They moved swiftly decidedly and with full force and I will always remember how many people came together for what is right in this beautifully diverse city I love love love ❤❤❤

Self Segregation is the key here. If the Asians and Indians could do it. So can us Blacks.

God is gonna uplift black ppl 🙌 so high. Everybody get ready! We are the chosen ones. ✨️

Sense we all can see these problems, we need to stop an recognize what we are doing here ,tearing down one another base on trying to be apart of someone else world. IF YOU ARE LATINO FINE, IF YOU MEXICAN FINE, IF YOU BLACK FINE, IF YOU ARE HUNGRY I WILL FEED YOU, IF YOU ARE NAKEDED I WILL CLOTH YOU, IF YOU ARE SICK I WILL HELP YOU, THIS IS WHATS IMPORTANT!! Don't take on that evil mind set of hate an bitterness.

It's odd how some Latinos like black music, from oldies to hip hop, yet they're so anti-black. Like what the 😮

The fact that black people have been able to be successful, let our light shine, and demand change in the midst of hatred like this shows how amazing and resilient we are. Keep on shining y’all. Let these haters wonder how we do it and how we could ever think we have the right to! Keep educating your children and let them be children.

Address the black racism on Latinos every day. It’s everywhere in Los Angeles why don’t you report on this?

How about addressing the anti hispanic in blacks, it gies both ways so stop

This door that u guys are opening swings both ways I have seen a ton of hate from black people to our people.... attacking Mexicans business in California...but let's not talk about that right

This kind of talk is exactly why I stopped voting Democrat

She said “they raising the kid like a little white kid, bouncing off the wall “, y’all conveniently left that out.

The racism of some Latinos doesn't represent all the Latino community. True, but when you ride on the backs of Blacks for certain civil liberties and then turn around and discriminate against them is a great "let down". Blacks need to know that they need to unite as a community as every one else seem to discriminate against them. This too is true.

What did she say? Did she just call Latino racism against African Americans white supremacy? How does that work?

❤ that this conversation is starting.

The sooner black people realise that there is no such thing as a “black and brown” coalition, the sooner we can treat these interlopers accordingly. To believe so is ignorant and dangerous, and anyone perpetuating this lie is suspect.

So "Black and Brown" never really was "Black and Brown" huh? 🤔

Addressing anti blackness in black communities

Black and Brown coalition😂🤣😂 The truth will always shine through.

those remarks made by those latino council members are not Isolated but a ingrained process of thinking

She has obviously never seen how latino kids act ANYWHERE in public

To much hate in the world today and that is what destroying the world. People hate their own family. Hate is a virus. One love people one love

It’s really annoying to hear anyone say, “their action don’t represent all” or “not all…” The same could be said about white people. All white people aren’t racist either, but the vast majority turn a blind eye or think, because it hasn’t affected them directly there’s nothing they can say or do about it. Not to mention, many benefit from racism systematically. I’ve been on this Earth for 54 yrs and have been around the “Latino” community for many of those yrs. I can wholeheartedly say that although “not all Hispanics” have that bias, or WS racist mindset, the vast majority don’t see it as an issue unless it directly affects them. Also, if it does directly affect them, as in the case with Florida, they more than likely welcomed it thinking that they weren’t going to be the target, and when they become the target they asked for Black people to stand with them. However, once Black people declined to help them fight, suddenly their true feeling about Black people shine through simply for being told NO. Miss me with the “Not all…”

Only took a million years for this to come to light

I know this channel won't cover all the Asians getting jumped by Africans....

What about the anti-white and definitely anti-Asian attitudes in the black community?!? I never hear anyone addressing this

Just so y’all know- EVERYBODY hates yall. It’s not just us. Everyone’s just too scared to say it.

As an afro-latino, I've grown up seeing both sides of the fence. My dad's side of the family is black, and my mom's side is Spanish. During family get togethers, on occasion friends of my extended family would visit. They were usually latino as well. Thinking they were in the presence of only latinos, I would sometimes here racial slurs about black people. My cousins would quickly correct them, b/c we were their black family members, and they had positive experiences with us all their life; however, I heard almost as many racial stereotypes and negative racial comments against the black community by latinos as I have from white communities. The big difference is that I see the white community largely changing and atoning for the sins of their fathers. However, the latino community stays stagnant b/c they have not changed their mindset, they still think they are doing nothing wrong nor do they think they are part of the problem.

At my old job, when Hispanics wanted to say something negative, they'd start speaking in Spanish. Little did they know that I, an African-American woman, could understand Spanish. Prejudice in the Hispanic community isn't as strong as in the White community, but it is there.

THIS IS SOMETHING PERSONAL TO ME SEEING MY DARKER COUSINS BEING NEGLECTED....it's in all Hispanic/ Latino families

The term latino does not exist in South America, you are from the country you were born in.

Asians are responsible for racism too🤣🤣....just because they are hard working 🤣🤣🤣

So we, latinos, specially Mexicans used the word changuito, as a boy who misbehave, thats it, no race involved, we used everyday with our kids, this is taking the victim card too far

Can we PLEASE STOP saying things like “brown” when referring to “Latinos”? “Latino” is NOT a race. And can we PLEASE STOP calling it a “community”? because it’s not… For starters, “Latino” means you speak a language derived from LATIN. So that would mean that Latin America consists of 19 Spanish-Speaking Countries, Brazil (Portuguese-Speaking), AND Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, French Guiana, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and (technically Quebec, plus Acadians) because these are French-Speaking places…. And even within the Spanish-Speaking countries we are very diverse, with completely different cultures, accents, music, etc. So how are we a community?? Not to mention there’s no UNITY, among us so we can’t call ourselves a commUNITY…. Most importantly, “brown” people are South Asians like Indians, Bengalis, Sri Lankans, Pakistanis, etc. Those stereotypical “brown” people the society SWEARS are what “Latinos” are supposed to look like are predominantly Native Americans with European and yes, believe it or not, African ancestry. 60% of (Spanish-Speaking) Latinos AKA Hispanics are of mixed ancestry. 25% of us are white people, yes, white people. 10% of us are Indigenous. And for some reason some people still don’t know this, but about 3% of are black people , like myself. We are extremely marginalized, ignored, discriminated against, overlooked, disrespected, and forgotten about. So there shouldn’t be any surprise that there’s anti-blackness in the “Latino Community”…. There are also very small populations of Middle Eastern, and East Asian people in Latin America…. Our genetic makeup on average consists of about 53% European ancestry, 36% Indigenous ancestry, and 11% African ancestry. Which obviously varies from one person to the next. Bottom line, we are NOT a race…..

We need this to be an hour long discussion at least

This and class is a culture all over latin America,it also applies to southern Asians ,Africans from especially east Africa do not identify with American blacks.

Some black people are racist towards Latino It goes both ways.

Are Hispanics aware that black people made the civil right act possibly.. and they would even be here if not for black people..or have rights here at all.. there were only two water fountains…not three…

Every race has its racist.

Everyone is racist. Deal with it. Let your ego down, be humble and act right in public.

what about the anti Latin feelings coming from the black community ?

Address anti-blackness inside the black community instead of trying to change others.

I really like Tiffany Cross. Really smart and good at moderating honest conversation.

Theres also anti mexican discrimination in the black community so its no big deal. The problem is when anti latino or anti black policies are written and passed by those groups. Im not saying its no big deal really but rather quite common which is annoying and perplexing

Firstly, I am a black man and I am not a democrat or republican. Secondly, there must be more that she said that i did not see in this video because I didn't see any anti-blackness in her statements. What I heard was her saying that a black kid was misbehaving. She pointed out that there was a white man who she assumed had guardianship over that black child and she assessed that the scene looked like the trope of white parents not disciplining their unruly child. Now when you factor that into the mix it seems to me she really was saying that she believes this child needed to be told not to behave in a way that the white man was allowing and that she would add the discipline that this child obviously seem to be missing. Are we now becoming that boy that cried wolf? Outside of politics there has always been a "black and brown" coalition in the ghettos were we have been regulated to. I am from NYC and this black vs brown agenda is foreign to me. now to be truthful there are blacks against hispanics and hispanics against blacks in isolated incidents but that is only a small percentage of the daily interactions between two groups who really are the same. the only real difference is one slave master taught his slaves english (britain) and the other slave master taught his slaves spanish (spain). after that the two groups were pitted against each other to instill the divide and conquer tactics that still shows it's affects with this brown vs black narrative that is so dangerous and being pushed so hard right now. she, from the snippet shown in this video, was pointing out a misbehaving child and because the child was black we are supposed to automatically see it as racism from one of our hispanic sisters and not see it as a disciplinary issue? now, do not misjudge my sentiment. i know that we have self hatred in our communities. and regardless of the last 400 years of subjugation and degradation and division i still see our hispanic/latino brothers and sisters as our family and nothing will change that. nothing. the children of hispanic slaves are not the same as the children of the conquistadors. the children of the hispanic slaves are the same as the children of black slaves. and just because some hispanics, children of hispanic slaves and those conquered/colonized, are light skin does not mean that they are now not our people because of their light skin and straighter hair... if that is the case then all blacks who are light skin and/or do not have the kinkiest/whooly hair should be dismissed as being black too. and lastly, many see hispanics with lighter skin and say "see they can not be black like us"... well, spain had over a 100 year head start in reshaping the world and complexion of our hispanic brothers and sisters that they conquered starting in the 1400's before the british had there impact on who we call blacks today. there is more to say but my comment is long already.

Not all but many have an arogance about themselves.There is no black and brown just us .So we must learn to work and grow among ourselves.

I am white, Latino, some Americans tell me that I look European, I have suffered racism and discrimination from both white Americans and even more from African Americans only when they notice my language, first I feel helplessness but then I feel pity, I just keep quiet and think within My that they are not yet free, because I feel a man is not free until he contemplates his heart free of hatred, whatever the reason, God bless you.

Anti-black racism is the result of trying to impress yt people.

Oh, I'm not sure of your areas and particular situations but - in my times - I grew up in the ghetto with mostly Blacks, Puerto Ricans and some Whites. We were always ' tight ' with each other without any negative friction whatsoever against each other. I was fortunate not to be contaminated by any bias or racism. I don't know if you can accept this, depending on your own personal experiences: But I'm Puerto Rican and I love my black brothers and sisters. SOLIDARITY ✊

That was _NOT_ what she said at all. I know mexicans and latinos can be racist. In fact, I antagonistically looked up this video just to see if anybody else sees the undertones. But the actual point she made was that "Black" and "Brown" people are raised different, and certain behaviors look just as strange on them as they do on white kids. Hiwever, whites have a very _VERY_ socially liberal culture, which withoholds discipline. She didn't want that kid goijg down that same path. Learn to analyze without emotion.

First, her comments are disgusting. She ought to be God damned ashamed of herself. Secondly, I have never experienced these black/brown issues. I’m for solidarity.

Let's not pretend there isn't anti-White, Anti-Latino, Anti-Indian, Anti-Asian.,etc in the Black communities. We are encouraged to only deal with black people, only vote black, buy black and support black and criticized when we don't. If that isn't racism I DON'T know what is. Every community has racism. You'll never eliminate it. But to pretend Black people are excluded from these sentiments is intellectually lazy.

The answer is : 1. Both ( either) sides working on being polite and kind one to another in every way.

What needs to stop is referring to the Latino community as if there aren't black Latinos. Let's start there. You have to actually acknowledge that there are black Latinos if we're going to get anywhere.

I've heard it my whole life. I used to look at my skin and ask why would God make me dark. Amongst Latinos it is ingrained to breed out the dark skin, which comes from the Spanish colonizers or Europeans. I used to hate Black people because I am of African decent and was put down low for it. It's the self-hate that you have to live with as an adult. The prison and gang culture push that as well. It's shameful to admit but it's a self-hate issue that's based in colonial racist brainwashing. It's very prevalent and needs to be addressed as an issue for us because no one is coming to help.

Ive heard black people say the same thing about latinos lol

hispanics you mean. latin was born in rome italy 3000 yrs a go .meaning only italians are latins and latina is a real city in italy ,not jennifer lopez. spanish culture is castillian.

Weird wasn't the serial killer in Stockton a black man killing Latino men tho

Lets address anti-latinoness in Black communities which is far worse

That black brown coalition is just going wonderful 😒

As a mexican American thats why i dont say black and brown collation because i know that we both fight and hate on each other for stupid reasons and that it going to get worse in the future and tbh it goes both ways i said

I love the wording " white-anglo whiteness. " Since I'm French , I assume I am not white ? Germans, Dutch ? etc.etc. Why is it so important to be called white anyway ?

YOu should adress anti-latino racism in black society

They are wyt "appearing." They aren't anglo. STOP making excuses. THAT is what the latino community DOES: it always provides cover for discrimination in its community. Which means: this ISN'T a honest discussion.

Why can't we be latinos! Why do we have to be white or black! We are mix people we are the raza ! I would never disrespect africans Americana culture because we don't know what are their struggles are. We have to build our communities ! We don't have to pick side!So sad.

Well this certainly explains Enrique Tarrio.

The amount of racism I have experienced as a black man from Hispanics is appalling.

People look on the outside, But God looks on the heart; 💖 When love exist in the inside, Bigotry cannot pull us apart. 🕊️

Latin America percentage of black is big and they're not on Hispanic tv

some years ago a professor from the dominican republic told me in the dominican republic they have something like 26 terms to describe shades of brown. in brazil they have 120 terms to describe the same shades of brown! i was amazed to say the least.

I might be a hypocrite but I love my black brothers and sisters. I have some sort of hatred for americanized Latinos, they treat us like were inferior, I've introduced my black girlfriend at the time (now wife) to my family in sinaloa and they showed nothing but respect but the moment I took her to my neighborhood and americanized family members in the US all I heard were backstabbing whispers every time we left family functions.

Perhaps stop calling it 'bias'. It's rational. People don't hate black culture for no reason.

My daughter was in a kindergarten class of mostly Latino children. She was the only black girl, there was one black boy, and one white boy. They mercilessly teased my daughter daily. She told me, "being Black means I'm dirt." This is what the children drove her to. That is learned and modeled behavior. The racism can be there but its not always present because I have had so many other positive relationships with Latinos in my community.

As a black born European, from generations ago, I naturally connect with African ancestry more than my European part, yet my family has been in Europe for centuries ago! I can't understand what makes those so calls'' Latinos think they are white and Latinos when no one has ever heard of them before Columbus got here! History tells us exactly the combination and the making of these people who called themselves''Latinos! People from Dominican Republic, México, and all the south America are mostly African and Native Indians! Most of the Taino's naturally have yellow skin tone, and when you mixed Yellow with Chocolate you will ended up with an Olive skin tone, and that is how those people became a nation! Being colonized by the Europeans, most of them have lost their original native dialect, they now, learned Spanish from their masters! As a result, they think they are Spanish because they have learned the language! Reality is, most of them don't even have a tiny blood line with the Spainards, but they all think their ancestors came from Spain because they speak Spanish!

I'm white and dated several black girls and ladies over the years. I actually prefer black and brown. I experienced hard core racism from my closest friends. They all thought, and hoped I was racist. And the black people all took for granted I was racist. I believe it's all because the way that I look. A big hairy white dude. People need to wake up and accept people for who they really are. We all share this planet and we all need to be accepting enough to allow our fellow humans to live their lives as they chose, or we will just keep killing each other.

Is what she said about the kid true? She said that the guy was raising the kid like a white kid, which is anti-white, not anti-black.

What sort of a society deifies criminals when there are so many good people among you who are working to make the world a better place? Model your lives after them.

Boo freaking hoo!! Endless victimhood. Maybe your own actions have caused this type of attitude towards you???
