Black Beyond America - Afro Latinos 

I’m Afro Latino 💪🏾 Puerto Rican 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 there are so many variations of Black that’s what make us so beautiful

Hi everyone. 🇵🇦 I am Afro-Panamanian and Jamaican descent . Born in Brooklyn New York. I live in Virginia. Panama is beautiful. I love my Afro-Latinas.

I'm Afro-latina. Cuban And Jamaican . And I'm Proud To Be 🇨🇺🇯🇲

Amara le negra is a proud confident afro Latina who will help other afro Latina realize embrace your blackness your like no other don't run away from your great complexity a great mixture of the two great cultures black and brown not to people can say that I love y'all now embracing your black side too cause in America u go definitely be put in the black category best believe that cause white America is so ignorant when it come to race they consider u black which u is so love who u are afro-latina as a badge of honor

I don't why some Mexicans don't think how can you be black Latin When there is A Whole Afro-Mexicans community in Mexico

I am mexican i am of african spanish and native american descent i am Proud of all my mixtures

The Cuban girl and the Venezuelan/Dominican girl are gorgeous 😍

I love being Afro Latino coming to you from San Juan Puerto Rico Wepaaaa

"Black" People come in ALL shades of Brown #BeautifulPeopke

I’m Jamaican of cuban decent and whenever I tell other Jamaicans that I speak Spanish they tell me to prove it 🙂🙃

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California but when I was 20 I moved to Costa Rica for a year to improve my Spanish / gain fluency. I loved the culture so much I felt at home and extended my stay. I feel Latin America deeply and people are often pleasantly surprised when I'm speaking Spanish now that I'm back in the US. Even when in CR, people assumed I was from Limón, on the Caribbean side. Before visiting, I had very little idea that Black people really were all over this world. ❤️

I’ve always received the Spanish test. Since i don’t speak Spanish some Hispanics dont accept me as Hispanic even though my dad was Mexican American. Once a Mexican American guy asked me why my dad didnt teach me Spanish. I told him that per my dad we were going to have enough issues with racists just with our being black and Mexican. He was right. to some Hispanic people,, it’s not possible for a Mexican American man and an African American woman could possibly be married for 25 years and have 4 kids. These folks are all telling the truth. I’ve been through all of that.

being afro mexican growing up my identity had always been in question, till this day even!. im glad i came across this video.

We need a Afrikan diaspora round table get to the root which we know what it is fight, cry,hug, forgive ,love each other and focus and take the world back

I love this ! When Amara first came and said she was afro Latina I felt something in my soul because I'm half Panamanian but I grew up with more mexican culture( I'm in south texas) and I never really knew what that meant because my dad loves all cultures. I even knew spanish when I was little! But now I can inform people and I really embrace being afrolatino.

Afro Latino here Haitian And Cuban American with lil white and native Indian roots 🇨🇺🇭🇹

Although I’m not Afro-Latinx, I really identified with what the beautiful chocolate sister with curls said because growing up in the African-American community I always got the what “are you mixed” or you can’t be just Black or African descent from my own people due to my hair being long and the curl pattern. It’s degrading towards my African heritage because it implies that is less than and anything else in my bloodline is beautiful when in reality the non-Black blood is present from rape. My people are starting to realize statements that reek of Anti-Blackness is unacceptable, but there’s still more work to be done in fixing our mentalities.

Yesss The Dominican Republic 🇩🇴!! This video makes me happy

This is beautiful ! Embrace and educate our Afro-Latinx!

Thank you for this video! I’ve been told “Oh that’s why you’re beautiful because you’re Cuban” Dang am I not beautiful beautiful I just am! 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺

YASSSSSS AFRO LATINOSSSSS

I am so proud of you. I am 83 years old Afro descendants from Cuba. Yes, we are here. Yes we are also black. We live with it. The rest will learn to deal with it. Just like we do. Thanks.

I absolutely loved this thank u

Love this so much!! Thank you!!

I am Trini, Bajan and Cuban. I love this video. It should be shown in all schools.

Awesome film. Thanks for putting some light on this topic. Salute from a Haitian born in the USA :D

Excellent topic. Currently having a conversation with my niece, who in a sense, is having a mini identity crisis. For all of you, my Afro Latino people, watch this video with your young ones and initiate this conversation

Cultural differences is what makes life interesting and Black “Negro” peoples live in many countries. It’s okay to be yourself regardless if your 10% or 100 % be Blessed and well 🙏🏼💛🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼👈🏼

Love to see the our beautiful Negras from every Latin American country and beyond what a beautiful culture and race .proud to be Dominican I am of lightskin shade but darn well know I am afro latino everytime I look at my dad and my grandmother it has always drove it home for me . 🇩🇴👊. For some.of.my Dominican people wake up we are a people of African descent and our genes , culture ,food and music tell it so.

This is nice. I can relate.

I love your videos. Do one on Canadian black people next please

Loved this!

Great video.

It's African born in Latin regions,Countries Like African born in America African American African Latinos

Great video

Y’all look just like us!! Beautiful 😍

This is wonderful 🇵🇦

Go through this every day I am Puerto Rican and black foot native don't even know and very proud of beIN Afro I was whitewashed my whole life so as I'm of age to further my knowledge I feel alot better bout myself

They think us are people dont have black in Latin America or central or the Caribbean

Very insightful

Peruvian, Jamaican, Taino, Bajan, I luv my flavor

"You listen to the music my people make"...that statement is deep. Im light skin and the more eyes turned has come from my own. I think is complicated, yet the mind does becomes a habit from what is used to.

Very good video.

But in Central America there are millions of black people though. I am not black but I just love my black People.

that's right my family from colon

Speaks Beyond language and perception

I love this topic because I'm afro Panamanian n mi love my cultures my black n latin side we in Panama come in all shades but here in Brooklyn's community we Panamanians love our culture

As a BLACK African American man i love my people from whatever country you were taken to as slaves because we are the same people whether you are Afro-American Afrocuba Afro Mexican Afro Asian Afro Europe Afro Philippines Afro Columbia Afro Spain Afro-german and etc and this is how the white man has kept us divided.

My great grandfather and grandfather speak full Spanish also worked on the 🇵🇦 canal they are Jamaican 🙏🙏🙏🙏

My family is from Panama. There is many countries in Latin America that have Afro Latinos.The school only teaches students about slavery in America. The school never discuss slavery in Latin America and the Caribbean. You find blacks from Colombia,Panama ,Ecuador,Peru,Bolivia, Puerto Rico,Dominican Republic,Cuba outside Havana. There is small section of Buenos Aires in Argentina where black people live. Uruguay there is a small section not far from Montevideo. Where black people live. Paraguay have a small Black Population outside Asuncion. The slave trade started in Santa Marta in Cartagena ,Colombia and Panama. Latinos should talk about racism,colorism many years ago.

Listen we should respect all people it don't matter where you come from cause we are all gods children

My cousins are Afro-Mexican. I learned very early about how we are the same; however, acculturated differently.

Good video!

Las negras tienen tumbao!❣️

I’m Black American. Partially of Hispanic descent. 20% Latin European all together. I’m Creole. I’m also Afro - Latin. I don’t speak the language, because the Hispanic is down the line. My grandfather and my dad’s older siblings spoke Creole and Spanish. Then, it was banned in schools. Here in Louisiana. I’m Louisiana Creole.

thank God we need more forum.

at 14:19 she said it right there. I am tired of being told from Black Non Latinos that, "Oh you guys must deny your blackness." NO! we are all black. IF a cop pulls me over and in a racial profile kind of mood, he is not going to be like.... Oh my bad, you're not black. We all black. PUNTO.

You all are beautiful and I love each of your cultures! In America things go in categories. They need things to be in nice neat little boxes so it makes it easier for them to identify. That's what they did with the Indians (Native Americans) they didn't care that they were of "different tribes" So, long story short, with no more confusion. Over here? your Black. When someone gets to know you, there the disrinction can be made and they can see that your more than your skin color. But again, for the sake of time and also nobody really giving a shit about this subject really, you're Black. So, you know, be ok with that. Love to all

Interesting 🤗

I am Somali and love to learn from other blacks. I am sorry to ask but why many blacks in diaspora always love to emphasize their mixture with Indians even if they don't look it particularly AAs? Just curious. Beautiful black people 👍

THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜,

Good video. Set it face book to for shating

The most beautiful of diversity human being that God creation myself black Mexican Latino I never fell inferior from others people color thanks God for who I’m as long they respect me I get along with every body

In California they are still not used to afro latinos....still ignorant out here

Yes..I .get.it...we..are...same...Marvin...Jones..from..Philly

All true the whole thing everyone said.

Amen tell the truth

2:54 - 3:14 On point!

Am all for black people. to speak about their culture don't say it as if you are explaining yourself to anyone you are not an abject you are human fearfully and wonderfully made just know who you truly are define yourself

I don't know why people with one black parent and non-Black Latin parents refer to themselves as afro Latino. I thought afro-latino was a term used to describe black people whose black African ancestors were enslaved in Latin America. Not someone with an African American Dad and say nonBlack Mexican mother

Minute 8 .... I has happened to me !

Yasss Panama!!! :)

Shame on the haters raise your fist in the air one time

I legit thought the girl in the white jacket was Lala. ..lmaooo

Esoooo🇲🇽

Ms. Ortega

I don't think most people know how and why Latino and Africa cultures are so intertwined. How caste systems are used to keep people separated and under control. We have been taught "his story" but we don't really know world history. Why don't we know most of Columbus's crew were marranos (Black Moorish Jews of Maghrib, Sudan and Iberian Pennisula: the Marranos) and that all had Latino sir names but were Afro Latinos. Check out "Columbus" and his Negro friends". Peace and blessing to all, familia 🙏

When you come to the African continent there are tribes that resemble each of this people

Only if people knew the undertones of what amara is actually doing sigh if they only knew

I guess I'm on the other end I'm a black woman both parents black I speak read and write Spanish .......I identify and say I'm black because I am but damn I get tired of people assuming im.not black. Several times a week " ooh I thought u were mex/black.....or Dominican main one is Puerto Rican smh what about the other end.....people not thinking u r black.

I am sure people know that Africans were not only brought to America. People like to talk about racism in America BUT, white Latinos are racist against the black Latinos, and many of the black Latinos & Latinas won't accept that they are black. No matter what part of the world you come from. If you look like any of the people in this video, then you are black. We may all come from different cultures but the bottom line is our ancestors are African. I am American of Caribbean decent, and I applaud each one of these people for acknowledging that they are black.

LMAO when there are more Black people in Central, South and Latin American than in North America but ppl wanna act dumb. BRING VISIBILITY & REPRESENTATION.

A

Can I get intouch with cuban lady please

Maybe it's me i don't care where in this world you were born and how mix you if you are black you are black you know who you are some people just want a part of this or a part of that therefore they created confusion for themselves

Black.latin.and.black..Usa.are.the.same.race..Marvin.Jones.from.Philly

Amara has Europe features and dark skin and her mom is lighter I think she a good representative of an Afro Latina she can date a man with her same phenotype and have children that look at her mom and people don’t understand that

We were shipped to the four corners of the earth as prophesied in the Scriptures, we are in all nations, the Diaspora is one people. Deuteronomy 32:26. 26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

I'm Afro-latina. Cuban And Jamaican . And I'm Proud To Be 🇨🇺🇯🇲
