STOP BEING AFRO LATINO FOR CONVENIENCE ! RIP GEORGE FLOYD ! 

Wait wait I consider myself an Afro Latino I’m mixed with Dominican and Puerto Rican And I grew up with black and spanish culture the way I see it is there’s sooo much internalized racism in the Latino community cause of the old heads and the white supremacy made them feel like being black is bad so they taught their kids that being is bad when it isn’t so many Dominicans in my family made fun of my brother for being darker than me and my sister and as I grew up I realized how soo many Latinos are afraid to accept that they are black

@@paulmartinez2629 very well said. But unfortunately you have racist family members in your family. I have a little cousin who is mixed (white mom, blk dad) and she says her mom's family (some of them) won't even talk to her without her mom being present.

@@paulmartinez2629 Exactly

Amen

thanks keith i hadnt heard the saying before but im gonna use it forever!

I'm going to use that adage all the time now. Thanks

Golden Heart I hear you!

Keith Myers Yeah we get it. Can we stop saying these same old lines every time this topic is touched on though? And instead give sound, intelligent and thoughtful opinions/comments?

Preach it sis.

Just like Haitian was colonized by the French.

Indeed hermana

Litten is so lit Well apparently not, cause you're not acting like it. Also, hispanic people took on their enslavers culture far more than black people did and are a lot more mixed. So not really, we're not exactly the same. If you have no choice but to be black and can't escape your blackness and pretend to be morena or mestizo etc, then you're black.

Abraham isaac Jacob Yisrael I’m actually tempted to make a video and shine a light on our darker skin Afro Latinos and our history and erasure and show that we do exist.

Rico Taylor I’ve definitely had black Americans treat me differently once they find out that I was born in Brazil. They then claim I’m not black which is funny cause when they think of Brazilians you definitely don’t think about people who look like me. We just need to inform people more. The issue is the media and also the Latino community in America. They like to think all Latinos are mixed when that’s not the case. There are plenty of full white Latinos, full black, full Arab, full eastern Asian etc. Latinos ESPECIALLY in Brazil the largest Latin American country. Heck people still think we speak Spanish 😂. We just need to make ourselves know and push representation for us darker skin black Latinos cause our lighter skin counterparts and white Latinos are not doing for us nor want to.

Hi Izodora, watch the watchman reports about the twelve tribes charts. It gets down to who are the actual Afro Latinos, like you stated. Take care sis!

@@izadorad PLEASE make a video on this very topic. PLEASE! You'd gain a subscriber.

Izadora Dau do it!!! You matter and we want to hear your thoughts and experiences

G Johnson Yes

Black people are like no other.... blackness within itself.... god’s children of the universe... no wonder why everybody hate us, envy us, look down on us..... and always think thier better than us!!....#BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL✊🏿😏

They hate to love us , but want to be us!!👊🏽😳

Victor Johnson You preaching Victor. Comment went unnoticed cause you preaching, but I see you 😏

florence namata i am Latino ...and i can stand up for myself! U sound very racist! I don’t need your love! I love people of all color..brown..black..white! All lives matter!

Victor Johnson no they don’t! ...please!

Facts#.........

They wanna be black enough to be cool, but ambiguous enough to be “cute.”

The police don't give two shits what stop the slave ship dropped off your ancestors. All they see is black and that is how they treat all of us who are black.

Exactly

@Rico Taylor Racism is not a big issue in the Latino community? Lol. Maybe not at your home. Yet, it's a huge issue.

nati c thank you 💕

Mohamed Hussein thank you for youre response, i appreciate you for explaining. But let me just say i never felt like i wasn’t black, I’ve always had, but when society see a bi-racial they make you feel less than what you are because the color of your skin. Colorism is real and ppl always told me i was black enough or Spanish enough. It took a toll on me , but i explained you them i am black, never felt like i wasn’t black enough. And i am so proud to be black.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yes dis! I'm african and i have never been to the state but his death still hunts me to this date. It broke my heart and i will never forget him

Right. She basically said she's not empathetic. Tbh I expected a comment like that from her though.

Speak on it.

@S.G You notice how light skin and dark skin was pointed out on her comment, Your right that's colorism.

It will never happen so the only thing we can do is support other black people period!

PERIOD

Goddess Of light ....o boy, way to be positive miss. U suck.

Facts#.........

My thing is the without african americans always fighting these damn battles no minorities would be able to live here comfortably. Civil rights werent just for black people. How many latinos/afro latinos/asians (clearly including Indians from india) had families here before 1965?? I'll wait. And clearly I know about the land that was taken and all that, but I specifically mean after that, to live together. Without my ancestors none of yall would be here.

🖕🏾😂

It’s sad because they feel that way, but they’ll figure it out. The world views them as what your friends do not like.

Taylor Ceirra Didn't know that there were Dominicans out in that Town... I'm from NYC & I'm Dominican or American of Dominican Descent... Now, most of the time Black Dominicans don't want to be called Black because they think they're being associated with Black American since they're Hispanic by Ethnicity... But, a lot of them would deny that they have African Ancestry - that's due to massive Brainwashing from the Colonizers & the Dictator Trujillo

So true, but sad. I have a story my daughter told me, it happened on her job. She said, it was 5 females working on this particular day. She said, they all noticed, the dark skinned sisters working that day. To make along story short, a customer came into the store and noticed that too. The customer said, oh it's nice to see all black people working in one place. MY daughter said, the Dominican girl blurted out, oh I'm not black, they had no idea she felt that way.

Well said

That was sooo soulful 🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️

They all know we are gods universal children✊🏿😏

That's awful you shouldn't have to deal with that as a Latina no matter if you're dark skinned or a light skinned latina.

Kimmminem West What part of the AFRO Latino term is confusing to you?

Kimmminem West And you are part of the problem.

@Kimmminem West you are the reason why a lot of afro latinos don't know where they fit in. Do your research before you come on here tryna tell me wtf I am and what im not.

Why do you feel like it’s not your place

I was saying that about the colorisim part he was talking about i should’ve specified that but I still spread and shed light on black lives matter.

Your not Afro Latina you are a multiracial.

Princess peach first off if she identifies as Afro Latina you don’t get to decide that she isn’t, second most Dominicans have a lot of African ancestry making them have black physical features, you see her profile picture and you see a black woman. she is black and she is Latina.

@@princesspeach9755 stop telling people what they are. People like you are so tiresome
