Is Puerto Rican culture Anti Black? No lies ❌ 

I would have thought colorism only existed in the United States.

​@@p51424 : Nope. It's all over.

@@Tippy2forU I know that. I am not American. But I live here. The way black girls behave, you'd think that the colorism in America is worse than it is anywhere in the world. But Kamala Harris would NEVER be the vice president in India.

​@@p51424 A lot of Mexicans were upset because Namor from Black Panther from Wakanda Forever was dark. Not black,keep in mind,but dark.

It's easy to hear in her accent she is not born and raised Puertorican. Me living and being born and raised here GenX... we hear people call each other negro or negra and it doesn't mean shit. It's not derogaroty, it's more of a slang, a way to address informally. For example I have a cousin that calls me negro every time he starts a sentence and I'm not even dark skin.

Damn

I'm proud you realize this.. many of your fellow brothers will lost causes because they worship anything non black and don't believe you can be racist towards a fetish

True

The point, they were jealous af of her (BEAUTIFUL 'dirty' no wrinkles, ages slow af DARK SKIN), TUH, she was on their pea-brained minds, NOT the other way around... 💯 💅🏾

They really think it's endearing and not racist.

exactly!

@@elizabethw4706 For real. I met these two white Uruguayan guys and they swore up and down that they could say racist things and their Black friends didn’t care. They said it was because they don’t have racism like in America I was like ‘nah they just won’t say anything.’

Delusional about colorism AND racism

What happened later with your Grandmother when you grew up?

The exact same thing happened to me

Beautiful put

Yes!. Thank you my Puertorican sister, for speaking the truth I'm proud to be Black & Puertorican , but i totally agree with you. Racism is alive.

Ur right cause our family did not allow any black Ricans around and till this day read my comment and if I was over there when it happen they will of never found that person as a child I never ever will forget what my uncles did to a black Rican they took him to the woods and I heard a scream and then silence my uncles came back with blood I ask were is the man they told me that he help them kill a pig and he left I was four at the time but the truth is that they buried his ass and they raised me to know the difference I started working on the fields at 3 years old I got pictures of me and my two brothers with our machete but the curve ones and I will never forget what they made me do to another person with the machete that's back in the early 70 s and I will die with that secret long story short do not go were my family lives cause u will get food water a place to sleep so welcome but u will never leave

Thank you been saying this for years. I’m African American. There is this exact problem in almost every culture. Example: India there is this term they use for darker people , it’s called untouchables. Dark skin people can only have lowly jobs like working as servants or in sewage, it’s extremely sad.

​@@beecasssoutherngal8974 Omg tha "untouchable" thing is horrible!

This is thanks to colonialism, Latinoamerica had a cast system spanning from Spaniards born in Spain to Africans forced into slavery, even if you were Spanish but born in America (continent) you were less in society than Spaniards born in spain

Take a biology class, everyone has melanin

I'm mixed an my black family treated me like trash smh jus saying

Wow, sorry you had to experience this

That’s horrible 💔😢.💋🕊🥀

He was truly not a friend.

With friends like that, who needs enemies. You're better off without him 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😘

You are sis he is a jerk

Girl yes 🤣🤣🤣

Sis, yes that's why we're ageless. We don't have all that hatred going on inside. We're not responsible for someone else's lack of inner peace. Go ahead, Coca-cola! He knew he wished he could be free to learn about you but momma and granny said no.

I'm rican and black and I'ma tell you this. Since people never tell the whole story. We call people and Nick name them based off of physical appearance. But it's up to context clues to determine if it's friendly or not. Some boul the other day was talking to me and referred to me as negrita because he didn't know my name and I was helping him look for something. Totally innocent, not offensive. He was really sweet as well. Now if he was saying it in a rude tone or trying to talk about me and using that same name, we would have a problem. It's like nigga. If friends use that name with me idc cuz we cool. But if someone I don't know is using it with me and they being dummy aggressive, it's not being used in a friendly way and now we gotta mix. Edit: Long story short, the guy was probably cat calling and complimenting you. Stay fine. :P

​@@rainnmoon114 yes i think americans have a hard time understanding cultures that are less sensitive about such things. I don't mind that we're sensitive, we have our own history and journey but I wish we wouldn't quickly assume every culture thinks like us about the same things. We're pretty soft on a lot of shit in comparison to other cultures, and that's oookkkk. We don't need to be like other cultures, but we do need more knowledge and respect for other cultures.

Some Dominican people tried to tell me the same one time and I was AW HELL NAH somebody lying

@@sabir1208 And y’all getting your hair done in those Dominican salons and they don’t even like you.

Crazy part is I bet most of them have never even stepped foot on the island

Big lie! Lol 😂

​@@curlyb4c95many blk woman are going natural and doing our own hair. If blk woman are going it's because they most likely are Dominican.

They deny it because they are not affected by it. It's the same as non-black people in the continental US claim racism doesn't exist. My fiance is dark and my last girlfriend was extremely dark. They go through the same things black people outside PR go through but nobody speaks out about publicly. Look at models in magazines and who is chosen for Ms Puerto Rico and nobody can deny black PRs are left out. Go to fine dining or fancy hotels and see the black PRs in the back and out of sight. The list goes on but people want to pretend.

@@mrjones4249 This is all so true

The Dominican Republic is the worst. They don't even acknowledge they are black some looking like Wesley Snipes "me no black". At least Puerto Rico acknowledges black even if it's with resentment.

@@flossyraven I've actually ran into some in PR that don't.

​@@mrjones4249 no you haven't and if so that's not the majority so 💁🏿‍♀️😘

You are beautiful and DONT let the past or family make you think otherwise ❤

Im the opposite...my mom is black and my dad is Puerto Rican and Im the lightest of all the kids. I got picked on bc of it. To this day, I still get called "white" at family functions. They joke but it still hurts my feelings

Your dad allowed this to happen? He should have gotten his wife to stop and not teach your siblings to not be that way.

I'm so sorry you went through this. I'm Puerto Rican and my husband is black and I am not going to have our future kids around my family because I already know most of them are racist. My family in PR are cool but in America....are some weirdos. I will not allow my anyone, especially my family, to make my future kids feel like they are less than because of their skin color. Your parents shouldn't have allowed that to happen to you. Sending you hugs, and hope your heart heals from this 💗 💛 💓

That's on your dad for not having a backbone.

I’m Puerto Rican American. All my sister’s friends are black Americans. I always get along with black people who don’t complain about racism all the time. This chick is also a Puerto Rican American who has no experience in Latin American countries at all I can tell by the way she speaks.

Thank you. I’m sorry you had to leave your family and so very happy you’re breaking the generational curse! God bless you!

They use to do the same in Jamaica but not anymore. The younger generation don't put up with that nonsense.

Facts. My husband is Honduran...I've heard all the colorism and racism. I have Indigenous Native roots through my father and many Latin speaking people often mistake me for Latin and approach me speaking Spanish. I understand some Spanish. Once, a Honduran man called out to me in a Walmart saying, "Hey, Black like me," in Spanish. I had to tell him I wasn't Hispanic. He apologized for assuming. I told him it wasn't an offense, I get that assumption all the time, especially when I used to relax my hair and have it bone strait and flowing down my back. I no longer care to use chemical straighteners. My hair is what it is. And I love it.

@@tameiadale5210 I have the hair issue in the fact that my mother was scared for so long that I would have “slave hair” as she calls it (when my sisters came out with kinkier hair, she told me that’s what they had) that she permed my hair excessively. I didn’t know I had curly hair until 5 years ago when I did a big chop. And that is when my mother started being nice to me. I have looser curls 3b-4a and she started saying we had the same type of hair, an even larger display of her shame for her black heritage. Her hair is 4c. When I told her the fact it was “no, you have hair like me.” And me pointing out the obvious texture difference was seen like some sin. She is technically biracial as both of my grandparents (one being the grandmother who called me blackie) are half black. But I swear she holds onto the fact that she is also half indigenous like it’s some oh so special thing to be multiracial.

@@jama3997 yes. My father used to reference having "good" hair vs. "nappy" hair and constantly adoring my other 4 sisters light complexions (I'm the "dark" one out of all 6 kids, (5 girls and 1 boy)) My mother finally let him have it one day as respectfully as she could. She impressed upon him therecwas no such thing as good or bad hair and no complexion better than another. He came to understand the error of his ways and stop using those stupid phrases and spewing those garbage ideas steeped in colorism. I miss my dad. He certainly is the example of, "When you know better, do better." I had low self esteem until he finally stopped praising my sisters' complexions because he didn't realize tgat by praising them for being fair, he was essentially saying my complexions wasn't worthy of praise because it was darker and thus lesser. When I share this story browner skinned women are confused because to them I'm light. But, it's all relative when your siblings are near white skinned.

Racism exists but it's not enhanced

I'm tired of children like you who know absolutely nothing. Who ejected a black President TWICE in the US? All the racists?

Prime example yesterday at work the lady told me she was running late and she didn't get a chance to take a shower but she's happy she has a toothbrush in her locker so she could at least brush her teeth 🤔🫢🫢🫢🫢😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐. I casually scooted 10 to 25 ft away from her. Held my breath when she walked in my area also.

Exactly! Like make it make sense

We know the truth about their culture.They have had a issue with water and hygiene for years.I always let that be known to the racist.

FACTS.

The washcloth thing is unnecessary/personal preference but def gotta wash your body everyday lol

Yes thank you. I was reading some comments and I was sad too see most ppl taking the opposite of how my family taught me. I was taught that that's a way of endearment. My abuela used to call me her negrita.

God's people are always persecuted.

They're not Black though as Black is an American ethnic group and not a race (race isn't real ) This is an example of colorism not racism.

​@@janiyahsandjujujohnson6755 have you been sitting out history? It's usually the other way around lol

You can phucking say that again! As a country of people that is 98% percent black, it is really disturbing and disgusting of how most Dominicans do not associate with being black, and they hate other groups of black people on top of that. Being born and raised here in NYC I'm around Dominicans all the time. They are an extremely whitewashed and brainwashed group of people, They're former dictator Raphael Trujillo really did a number on them.

Call them boy and girl!!! I really don’t see how a people so poor can actually think that they have the right to try and look down on someone else! That’s why I don’t mix with none of these immigrant groups they are just as bad if not worse than whites! Them whites enjoyed every bit of it also!! Just not to your face we have to unite we just have to the day black people do that that’s the day we turn everything upside down on its head! Stop spending with people who will never spend with you create our own we don’t need anyone they all need us! Without us a lot if not all other communities will fall be dirt poor!!

Girls don't carry the family name so it's irrelevant what they do.

@Bobby Drago I don't know what century you live in, but women don't always change their names, and their children don't always take on the fathers name, and they don't have to change their name. And what does that have to do with the topic?

This is exactly why I only worry about black PR whenever something happens in PR. I know for a fact they wanna divide everything

@@nownalolo2999 it’s rooted in colonialism and passed down there’s other stuff too but that’s the gist of it but honestly blacks do this as well “treat the light ones a little better” just with being Hispanic it’s not a race so it’s a wider spectrum of races I’m caught in the middle so I see both sides but I am glad that more Latinos are speaking more publicly about it bc it was the elephant in the room conversation growing up

@@desiregoncalves5219 You say it's rooted in colonialism and passed down there's other stuff too. mmhhmm blacks? black is not a color. Why do you and others say people black?

​@@daniellelynch5592

I knew my country (D.R.) wasn't far behind in all this hate. Lol. Yo, yes it's messed up if you ever felt shunned within your OWN family just cuz of your skin tone. No one should have to go through that. Now, like it or not, being called negr(@) in D.R. is a compliment. Like it or not!!! Having lived thru both types of racisms, u.s. /D.r. I say the difference is abysmal. I'm sure black latinos do not feel offended by being called negro or moreno by me. Shooot, they call me the same and we move on. I call my black niece mi chocolata, or my love, or my hunny or by her name. She is NOT self conscious about her beautiful skin tone at all. Black is beautiful! My 4 kids mommas are all black. Black American women whom never had those hang ups either, thank God. Granted, racism is an evil disease. I'm so glad It was never a thing at home. I felt it daily in the streets for sure, but not at home. I grew up around mainly boricuas, Cubans, black Americans and Dominicans and even white boys. The only condition needed was that you were fully down. That you were real and you kept your word. This race or color b.s. was never a BIG thing back then. We were poor and we put our energy towards bigger concerns, like getting paid to provide for all our families. We came up proper and provided our kids what we never enjoyed and at the same time, we raised some soft ass children. That's how I see it. This chick in the video ain't explaining it fully tho. She making black Americans think that racism in l.a. countries is exactly the same as in u.s.a. when it is not. Then, she does nothing to clarify the difference. Sounds more like she come from a messed up family. But it certainly ain't the rule, but the exception. She shoulda checked her gramma then n there for calling black people dirty. THAT IS FOUL! As far as the d.r. deporting haitianos cuz they black, no ma'am, they deporting ilegals. Not only haitianos. You cannot be dee peed if you legit period! Like UNICEF, reported on an international news outlet that d.r. separated 1800 haitiano kids forcefully from their parents and dee peed them to their luck all alone. BUT, UNICEF D.R. reports in a local d.r. paper that the country did no such thing! But they won't report both internationally. The hypocrisy is glaring. Back to the chick in the vid, she talking like she invented the wheel lmaoo. So ask black latinos how they feel, what changes would they like to see. Seems to me like your dumb ass the only 1 annoyed or worried about this. Maybe others in these countries have so much more to worry about than this that it ain't nothing maybe...ion know myself, but I never heard this being an issue in my years. If it indeed is that big of an issue now, address the damm thing. These are real interesting times we living in today. Soon, men gonna cry cuz manicure prices are too high...

Facts. I just came back from DR and the way I was treated and other dark skinned ppl were treated was disgusting. Just rude. Yet they treated the white ppl like Gods.

Do you remember the history between these ppl ? You understand what Haitians did to Dominicans ? Just wondering we’re actually mixed alot more because of the rape went on when Haiti liberated itself 😮😢❤

This negatively destructive racist behavior introduced to the world by melanin recessive (wht/blanco) people is a poison to ALL indigenous/native melanin dominant people (blk/brwn/red/yellow) in the way they want to imitate and assimilate their european oppressor and enemies ill racist behavior therefore some becoming even more racist than their oppressor and enemy.

Lol you island nekkas heads all jacked up. I understand now why those countries are only seen only good for sex tourism.

When you are mix-race, you don't belong to either group. You can go to África and Africans will discriminate against you, they know you are not pure black. God blacks discriminate against blacks. White European people bought slave from black, they didn't go hunting blacks in Africa. White bought slave from established slave markets. Do your kids a favor and don't race mix, protect your ethnic group, its important.

Panamanian here too and can confirm lol

It's just cuz this I never think about skin cancer or burns but I think it's just not common with us cuz melanin does protect against bad effects from sun exposure at least a teacher said that and tried to prove it with facts from geographic and genetic proof she'd gathered but I had faded in and out of that class with paying attention cuz ADHD is rough , but I've heard similar arguments online which I know isn't a great source lol, anyway, skin cancer doesn't seem prevalent among us but again, I am just going on experience and half a class time talk I looked out the window allot during 😐 so what do I really know?

​God will fix all.

It's not always due to racism. People from the islands tend to refer to people by their physical attributes. Gorda, flacca, blanca, negra, etc etc. Because I was the first dark baby in the family (and my abuela was practicing English) she literally calls me her chocolate candy bar. It's endearing. No one complains when light skinned Ricans are nicknamed Blanca (white).

Its not your grandmothers fault. Its how they were taught and conditioned by their own parents going back to slavery. Where the white man taught our ancestors to HATE THEMSELVES!!! To hate their skin and heritage. Our ancestors would be PROUD of us today to know that we love ourselves and our culture and kinky hair and wide hips and thick lips!! Thats why the term "Black is Beautiful!" is so REVOLUTIONARY!!! Cause they taught us to hate Everything about ourselves and to try to assimilate to white society!!

It's so crazy like living in an alternative universe that we can be so despised by the world to the point it's demonic even by some of our own.

@@flossyraven it’s really scary to think about. There is really no place safe to be black.

@@immaculatepeter5529 absolutely scary nowhere safe for us.

😔

Fuck'em! You're beautiful. Melanin is the color of all living things on this planet. The Universe is black.

@@jamiekoga1903 thank you, sis! You are, too! In adulthood I had to restructure all my thinking. When I was younger I was told to avoid the sun, try and find skin lighteners, etc. And when I came back from college in my first semester, having to walk across campus in the sun, EVERYONE in the family commented on how "black" I got, not even "dark." My mom was a white Spaniard Puerto Rican with green eyes and reddish hair. And my dad was the taino/black Puerto Ricans, but was light skinned. And all my sisters came out like my mom except me. There is a lot of both racism and colorism, but now I love my skin and hair, and I'm proud of all parts me. Everything she said is the truth.

Where these Mexicans and Central Americans

@@petergeramin7195 I’ve been more accepted by Every other Race but my own unfortunately. I wish that wasn’t true but it is.

& you just proved her point

@@sherayyvette7878 Explain to me what is her point

Bruh most black ppl wouldn’t even claim her lmao, she’s not black she’s just brainwashed.

So that said black girl can’t be from Puerto Rico right? You sound racist

@bertlenny5571 I absolutely agree with you. She trying to be black if you asked me. I'm Puerto Rican and Identify as Puerto Rican

I hate that shit so much. Like why the fuck do I have to be mixed to be pretty. Or why do any of us have to be mixed to have a certain hair type. Like no bitch, we range the spectrum in every way there is... That's That

You can’t be mixed with a place of origin. That’s how dumb y’all be sounding. I might as well say I’m mixed with Georgia and South Carolina.

Do not allow anyone's ignorance control your voice in identifying who you are!!!

​@@Teddy_Grahamyou can though? That's just how language works. You often refer to yourself as the place you were born. Like how Chinese person is from China. If one of their parents is Japanese then they be mixed with Chinese and Japanese like I really don't understand what you're trying to say here?

​@@blueismylove3128black is not a place tho so saying I'm mixed black and Dominican don't make no sense.

That’s your grandparents self hate coming out

Yup, I’m the lightest one in my family & throughout my childhood was called high yellow, lil yella, YT girl, light bright & so on. And @ 39, my family still feels the need to acknowledge my color as compared to the rest. It could be divisive but I would always just laugh it off & not feed into it, though clearly it was more of a thing for everyone else than it was for me.

Yes, it is ingrained in a lot of black families over generations

I'm mixed with black and white. The worse racism I experienced growing up, was by white kids at Catholic school. The black community accepted me as a light skinned black man

@Ricky Raven wow. I'm sorry. I have heard if you are mixed they see you as black. Hate is taught. We love you. ❤️

Wowww

Sorry to hear that 😢 sending you love ❤

@@JerseyJD24 Thank you so much boo 🙏🏽❤️

God LOVES U!

@@joydorsy3341 Thank you so much amen 🙏🏽

We did come from the same ball of dirt.

Yesssss 🤝🏼

We didn't

never they never will

It’s never going to happen

Haitians should stop acting demonically

I'm half Panamanian and half Puerto Rican, shes speaking facts

My brown Panamanian grandmother told me stories how she was treated compared to fair skinned sisters. Disgusting.

@@Thinkaboutit121 My aunt told me when I went to Panama. I always wondered why I never really seen her growing up when visiting. That's why. She left home a very young age

They be looking like us (black folks) but talking shit

Some of them be looking more black then some actual black folks

@@asiachestnut4210 exactly smh it’s nothing but self hate

It's pea-brained racist foolishness... and they could NEVA, that's why they stay mad...💯

​@@StoneyLover93 went through the same thing. They racists as hell smh...

There's more people with African ancestors in latin America than USA even Mexico has black people the first Mexican president was a black man

Look it up

She's ignorant asf a lotta people are under the impression that if a Black person lives in a Latin American country and speaks Spanish he's not Black! But if this same person was born in Chicago and his name was Maurice Jackson and English was his primary language then he would be considered Black.Smh it's a lotta ignint mfers out there!😂

She more than likely meant that he's not African American since the word Black is Synonymous with them.

@@roshellegouldbourne787 No. she meant blaaaaack. I know a sneer when I see it. I know mortification when I see it. I know racism when it’s slapping me in the face. No. I’m not overly sensitive or traumatized or whatever your going to say is wrong with me. That puerto ricana was/is racist. She’s card carrying. I knew her. Worked with her. You never met her. Go sit somewhere. You have no clue as you weren’t there, don’t know her or me. 🙄

But he is black regardless

@@Nature-ep5cu black is a culture not a race. Only in america is it a race. To our brothers and sisters living in the islands and latin america when we call them black they get mad because to them black is a culture and culturally THEY ARE NOT BLACK. Racially they are mixed with African the same west african we are mixed with to varying degrees which some of them do not deny and some do. Racially we are indegenious and African. Read they were here before Columbus.

😳👊🏿🤦🏿‍♀️👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😇🧚🏿‍♀️

It’s because social media made it ok & almost cool to be a rude douchenozzle to ppl and it’s starting to leak out & effect society on a major level .Really just a bunch of mean, anxious & drugged out people with a lot of malice in their hearts taking their issues out on others and sabotaging good things coming to a good person because of jealousy. I still try to believe majority of people are inherently good but it’s becoming harder & harder everyday🤦🏽‍♂️

I was up till after 6am this morning 🌄 thinking the same thing. It is very disheartening.

@@theresac.9203 I’m a big lord of the rings/hobbit fan. And there’s this quote Gandalf said that stuck with me. “I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keeps the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.” It encourages me ❤️

😁😁🤭🤭 poor guy But do u mean Spanish speaking though not originally from Spain?

There's so many things wrong with this statement but sometimes u just gotta let ppl do geography 🤣🤣

People are dumb

Damn😂

@@Nature-ep5cuand whats that about?

Colorism at its worst.

Sad!

So sad!

That exists in Asian cultures as well. It's not even surprising to me anymore. I work with a lot of Asians as a flight attendant since we go to lots of Asian countries with my airline. There's a pecking order I've learned. Korean and Japanese like to believe they are top. Chinese after that. And then of course all the darker Asians like Philippines are seen as the "blacks of Asians" and at the bottom of the totem pole. Literally I've been told this straight from their mouths. They even have drama on their flights when they work together cuz it's like they clique up and look down on one another. It's so sad. Colorism is global unfortunately.

Smfh this shit gets under my skin.

Crooked tooth bro on the screen????

@@jackmeoff5121 still gorgeous af lets see a picture of you

I hope that you'd say the same about Monica, smh.

​@@jackmeoff5121a crooked tooth means she is not beautiful? Yall are grown ass bullies.

@@jackmeoff5121 at least she’s not hiding that pretty face. where’s your pic ?🤣

This doesn't happen in PR like you saw it in the states though

You have pride and know who you are people like that are disgusting

Lol DR woman w/ blk features 🤣 YOU ARE BLACK (Haitian) born n raised in DR!!

@@emo12886 born in DR raised in America .and i say black features so you understand what i look like. I may be light skinned but there is no mistaking when you see my face i am black thats that and yup with Haitian familia

@@boxfancb i live in New york.

You said that to say what exactly???

Yea we are some dark skinned Mexicans and my parents call us Negra and negro 🤦‍♀️

So how r u Puerto Rican if u r from NYC? Were u born n Puerto Rico? Wouldn’t that simply b ur heritage/lineage?

I kid you not, there’s a Spanish family across the street that don’t like Blacks BUT has an Afro wearing father 😮 he tries his best to intervene when there’s drama tho 😅

My niece is black and very light skin she hate when people call her red but she tells them I am black .

Wow

Because that's all they know. Pathetic really.

Good point! Why? No one has yet to get the Answers...so sad! Stop the hate!!! People. For the Record!! I'm not Dirty!!! Ever!! Ever!!! What the Hell????

The ones who are yelling, screaming, being demanding and cruel to others are these same people! Ironic, huh?

True

wow I'm sorry you went through that you precious beautiful soul I'm African American and I'm all natraul I'm dark skin with a large afro and I have lots of haters but I don't care long as they don't touch me

Exactly right 👍🏾

Exactly. They get that work in the south when they try it tho

Great move! He came first and you did not join in.

That's a commendable mama

What does it mean??

Meaning if you're black you're not even human. They're white Supremacists. They literally breed the blackness out of their blood proudly.

@Ace. Hi🙋🏽‍♀️ The first time i heard the word -Morano-was in Mexico... Are you from mexico?? Years ago when the Slave ships docked in Mexico, the people there said 'We are not like them-We are Moreno people. So the Blacks from the ships we given a different side of mexico to live, now down through the years they are All Mixed Up through births...

@@birdielee6718 So my father was the result of Taino people mixing with the African slaves. this would be considered Moreno The Taino we'er the Native American Indians from "Puerto Rico". In Mexico you have the incas & mayans and if they mixed with blacks they would be considered Moreno as well. To get an idea my father looks Ethiopian with loose curls and a sprinkle of Native American. Now so that we are clear Moreno means BROWN - its when a negra dark skinned person mated with gringo or native light skinned person and has a baby that's not ' white or light passing ' essentially. BUT if the child comes too light with dominate white features - they won't be considered Moreno or Morena - if your features are in the middle you will be considered Moreno or morena the color of your skin determines the nick name. we should consider that Spanish culture is different because if your fat you'll be called "gordo(a)" or if too skinny called flaka(O) it just depends on how you look and what's the feature that sticks out the most about you. I'ts kinda like a term of endearment Another example is that the Irish somehow got enslaved in Puerto Rico so there's a lot of white assssssss people from Puerto Rico so freckles and green eyes are common and they would be called gringa(o) but be talking Spanish right along with you And because of this mix of people a lot of Morenos also have green and hazel eyes but more darker skin and features.

@@acemanifester1401 Oh Thanks a lot..👍🏿

@@acemanifester1401 my rican sister you good love!! I’ve read n heard about racism in PR && Brazil being the worst. I know families mean a lot to us but just learn to love yourself from the inside out. Peace be on to you

@birdie lee in other countries Morena can mean a black person

u are so smart my friend. do not indulge in all the hatred and negative vibes 🙏

Spanish in nothing but the colonizer and the language spoke bc of them smh * sigh*

Keep it up young black girl proud of yourself.

So you're a black supremacist? Exactly counter to what this country/world needs right now.

You do? With both hands or just one?🤣

Seriously, democrat commies are quick to make the worst racist comments if you even question their religion of climate gender change.

Some do it as an endearing tone. Not derogatory way.

Why would an afro Latino get mad at being called black when we're literally black

Racism taught through colonialism supported by social caste systems

That’s sad

They are very racist I’ve only experienced racism from Mexicans never the white ppl and I’m black and white. They often confuse me for being one of them and get mad at me for not knowing Spanish

🇵🇷🎯🇵🇷🎯🇵🇷

Shades of brown? lol have you heard of Spaniards?

@@meep3035 so racist there is a whole ass informal way of talking to one another in the language that they didn’t teach it to indigenous peoples? Doesn’t mean we have to perpetuate the hate.
