I’m half indigenous and half mestizo. There is a huge difference between the way my lighter skinned family is treated vs the way my indigenous side is treated.
As a Marine I've been to a lot of different countries....you can find hate for black skin all over the world. Maybe I missed something but I'm still trying to figure out where all the hate for us came from.
Anti-blackness originated in the Talmud created by Rabbis. It's called "The Curse Of Ham". The Jewish merchants of Europe used this "Ham curse" to justify the lucrative transatlantic slave trade then Jim Crow and apartheid. White-Jews taught the idea that black skin is a curse to other races.

I'm afro Brazilian and born and raised was adopted to America and the hate here is real no one would think I'm Brazilian because I'm not white looking I'm glad this is coming to the surface
I live in Brazil. There is absolutely no such thing as AFRO Brazilian. That's a pure Anglo saxon term. People in Brazil are just Brazilian! Afro Latino, Euro Latino, Mestizo Latino... pure made up Anglo saxon non sense
The difference is America at least acknowledges it. And the people who are Black at least are vocal at dispelling racism. In latin American, many Black people are not self identifying, so they never really get a chance of being vocal against racism. That's why they continue to be on the bottom, because of the lack of action of self identifying as Black or Afro Latino/a.
@BEEN BRACKIN i don't see the problem being rejection, i think it's because they don't teach treatment to hair with textures, curls, and coils. Telling me you won't do my hair is doing me a favor.i rather go to someone that knows how to do my hair not bluffs and ruins my crown
" If you do not understand the system of White Supremacy, what it is, and how it works. Everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller Jr.
White Supremacy is not the only reason why people are nasty. Most of the nastiness I have encountered in life has been from people who are not white supremacists. It has been mainly from black supremacists and belligerently-inclined Puerto Ricans who don't give a rat's fat ass whether I am from their same island or not. My uncle was killed for fourteen dollars by NYC blacks, not white supremacists. I had all my property stolen from my house by Puerto Ricans, not white supremacists. In fact, in comparison to Puerto Ricans and blacks, I can honestly say that Anglo Americans have been much less of a problem in my case.
@@quwandathornton most Black Americans are mixed and are still black. Your race also has to do with societal treatment based on societal categorization based on first impression. She’s black.
Golden Voice I was dating a Dominican guy who was very light skin and had a brother who was darker. His mom would say about my bf “he’s my favorite, he’s so white” and she would call her other son “brother darkness” 😲😲😲😲 She would say other things too, random comments about color. I felt so bad for his brother It was very uncomfortable and I rarely visited him at his home.
@@src3360 I'm a Dark/Brown Black American but I was lucky I knew who I was at a very young age so the overt racism from both sides didn't affect me ( Getting ready to retire now from a long and successful career) however this bigotry hasn't gone away and I find that very sad.
I'm 🇭🇹 and we are black, we identify as BLACK. No Haitian person is running around calling themselves Latino. Considering how hard Hatians fought for their independence being the first BLACK ( not Latino) nation to be independent then to turn around and be called Latino. Sounds like some type of erasure. Hatians are BLACK not LATINOS.
Clarah Valme Extremely proud to hear you state this, Haiti has always served as a great inspiration to African Americans and many other right minded black ppl across the globe. Black First Sister!!
"outside of Nigeria, Brazil is the location with the highest percentage of people of African descent" ???? i think Tanya Hernandez meant highest POPULATION, not highest percentage... cause if she really meant percentage, well I'm pretty sure all 54 African countries have higher percentages of Africans than Brazil. and when she says "we had many more people of African ancestry", who is "we"? and "more" than what? confusing
Yap, she got it so wrong. But most of the african descendents in Brazil are mixed race, aka they also have European and even Southern native American ancestry. So, it's kinda confusing, in many ways. There is even people already mixed with Arabs,.Indians and Japanese, because Brazil has really a very diversified population.
By we she meant the Caribbean and Latin American.Only 4% of slaves that left Africa went to the US(which at that time only consisted of the 13 colonies)
she is right I think she meant in Latin America lol I heard from my Brazilian friends (also there are statistics) that there's a big percentage of black people in Brazil, the thing is they also have white people but the high population of black people is there
Can you please explain why there are no racial riots in Latin America as there are in the USA? I mean, if Afro Latinos were being mistreated as they are in the USA, then one would expect the same outrage. But such intense outrage simply does not exist among Afro Latinos. Also, there is absolutely no barrier that prevents any Afro Latino from being 100% Latino. because afro Latinos share enough of Latino Culture to qualify as Latinos and therefore have always been considered as such.
I met this guy who I really don’t talk to anymore who insisted on constantly telling me that he is “Puerto Rican, but a white puerto Rican”. Like every time I was around him, he would always bring it up. I never asked him anything about his ethnicity…but he would just feel compelled to always remind me. So I’m just sitting there like “😐 okayyyy??? Does that make you better or something??”…asking myself why he keeps insisting on explaining his racial identity every time I’m around. Like bruh…I heard you the first 3 times…and I still DONT CARE. I think it’s really weird how some Latinos will go out of their way to tell you they are everything but African…Be darker than Taye Diggs, but be out here talking about “I’m Spanish, Taino, Portuguese, European, Native American, extraterrestrial, blah blah blah…but will never claim African ancestry. Thank god for social media because a lot of that bullshit is being exposed and many of them have to face it because everyone is privy to it. The self hate in Latin communities is REAL and shameful. I think it’s kinda funny because the same way they discriminate against black people who stand in their blackness is the same way white people discriminate against them.
its out of insecurity meanwhile black and indigenous people created all of the culture all that rhythm and color in latin America comes from them yet these people be whitewashing everything. lmao
Most Latinos reject the description "latinx". In fact Spain and Argentina banned the word due to it violating the rules of the language. Spanish is a gendered language like German, French, and Italian. LatinX comes across as a progressive anglo white label.
True no such thing as Latinx or these invented terms. Be proud of your ancestors whether they from Spain Portugal Italy Ireland Canary Islands Africa Indigenous. They're descendants are Latino aka Puerto Rican Cuba Mexico etc
I hate that this video was made by a US citizen . If it had been made in Mexico, they would have shared how Mexico its transforming itself to honor and represent the ingenious communities. Also the word ' Latin ' might mean something in the US, but not to Spanish speaking part of America.
In Brazil i am what we call "Parda" which means mixed but not just white and black but with heritage thatsometimes we can't even explain because we lost so much of it's influence due to racism, colorism, xenophobia and etc, my great-grandmother was indigenous but so little was passed down to us and it is so sad both my grandfathers were black born and raised in Brazil but i don't know much about them, people in my country hardly talk about racism but it is very much alive and it is a huge problem people refuse to deal with as a result if you are black or pardo (or just anything other then white or fair skinned) you are deemed less important, not even relevant enough to be acknowledged.
You apparently don't watch the Spanish-language Networks (telemundo, etc). If you did, it would be impossible not to notice that virtually ALL of the actors and actresses, news reporters, and people in the commercials project eurocentric appearances and images. One could count on (no more than) two hands, the number of Afro-Latinos shown in any of these categories, after all these years. Is this just a coincidence?
@@DavidRamirez-ue8gv How about these for starters: Azteca America, Bandamax , Cine Mexicano, Centroamerica, EstrellaTV, Univision? Is this some f'ing test? For your sarcastic-assed information, I have studied Spanish for most of my adult life and speak the langauge (admittedly with some difficulty). Furthermore, I spend at least 1 - 2 hours every day of the week practicing it and use the networks to enhance my ability to understand the language as spoken in practical situations. So the next time you try sarcasm, you should have a clue about the validity of your sarcasm. How many Spanish-language many networks can you name? The tone of your message sounds like you're one of those who claims to be "Spanish" when your ancestry is clearly indigenous and African because you so badly want to be identified as white.
So gringos are going to tell us that we need to identify using their anglocentric system. Yes we are not homogeneous, yes there is racism in LA NO I won't identify as just one race because i am many and so are the majority of the population in LA (yes mostly from slavery and rape and then whitening but still we are mostly MIXED race), and I'm not going to adopt the one drop rule that grigos use. Why not choose to open the gringos eyes to explain that there are many races in LA and many many many mixedrace people, for Centuries now (I know in the states is still a novelty). Our languageS and culture and food and music join us together i don't see anything wrong as identifying as Costa Rican and Latin American, the only time people insist on knowing my race is when im in the states or talking to gringos and is so sickening!
It's true that some people in Latin America deny their non-European heritage, which is a shame. But isn't it also a shame that woke Latinos in the US choose to deny their European heritage and only identify with their African/Indigenous ancestry? There is so much beauty in being mixed-race, and everyone should embrace it.
no pueden escapar de las categorias raciales que ellos mismo tanto odian, no que se creen dicendole a la gente de latinoamerica como deben identificarse.
Why do you care so much if they want to be Latino, Dominican, Puerto Rican. Etc. If they don't want to be black , then why try to force it. They are all Mixed. Also maybe yal will learned N and S America was all Spanish Empire. Not British . SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE accounted for over 90%. Not US.
Hahahaha Jlo: Camilla cabello, and Sofia vergara are not white, their Mestizo’s, mixed indigenous and European descent. White Latinos would be someone like, Anya Taylor-Joy and Sara Paxton.

@Beatrixx. Cé I'm black n Spanish n speak full Spanish I'm tired of racist Latin people always talking shit bout dark-skinned people stop hating so fucking hard,I bet you luvv rap music doe huh
Some of us were already here. Not all brown people were slaves. There were some indigenous brown Americans as well as carribeans. The truth shall come to the light
I remember one time I was flirting with this girl from the DR at her moms restaurant, and she was flirting back it was cool. Then somebody said “y’all look like your about to make a baby” or something, and her little pre-teen brother said “for the the baby to be black like that tire?”. Obviously because Im a bit darker than her. They’re trained young to hate dark skin and want to lighten the bloodline. It’s sick. I still hit tho. 🙃
I once entered an office full of Anglo Americans with my Puerto Rican co-worker and all the Anglo Americans immediately began asking him why he was several shades darker than me. "What the hell happened?"" They asked.
Just for the sake of clarification, there is no such word as “Latinx”. The word, “Latinx” was created in the USA for political reasons. But it doesn’t exist in the Spanish language. Regarding people in South America, the correct term for the women/girls is “Latina “ and the correct term for men/boys is “Latino.” If you’re referring to a group that includes both men/boys AND women/girls, use the all inclusive term “Latinos.”
They don't have to? Why generalize an entire group of people? I'm Black and I don't care about how these people feel about my Blackness. Y'all Black people are too pressed about these people. Stop begging to be loved and love yourself.
It’s nauseating and tiring… we don’t identify by race what’s so difficult about understanding that? Yet Hispanics are the first to be accused of being self haters and in denial. GTFOH. Good to hear a person with good perspective on the matter
@YUCAYEQUE "mejorar la raza" does very much still exist so I don't see how that constitutes, "not identifying by race." Just look at how many Mexicans complained that Nemore in Black Panther 2 was too "dark" to play the role in that movie, even though he wasn't that dark and looked more indigenous.
Lantindad to my knowledge is pride in being Latino. Latin x is a new term for those who feel left out from the looks of it. The mistake people have made us to think being Latino is a race. We’re a culture. The host is right she’s black but if she would deny being Latina that would be due to her life experience being negative on some level with that. Being Ecuadorian is your ethnicity and he country your from (I’m assuming you were born there or your parents are from there) in the US you’re looked at in group form before specifics or individually. People from north ,“central” , South America and the Caribbean are not the only ones affected by European colonialism. Everyone has pretty much. In the black community this is self evident in a variety of forms but sticking to the bad hair term how many black women do you see with their natural hair? I find it hypocritical to talk black pride when you don’t even realize you lack it. That’s not a reference to the host cause that may very well be her hair but there’s plenty of other women that fall into that category. As for the lady she’s interviewing she’s spot on with what she’s saying though it’s a different understanding from the US and those countries. I’m assuming the host is from here and that’s why she views it how she does. Also those of mixed “race” which is the majority of “Latinos” tend to not acknowledge all of their backgrounds saying I’m black or I’m white when in fact they are both or native, Asian etc etc. This is particularly true in the US. In Ecuador and other Spanish colonized countries I think moat people just look at them selves as Ecuadorian, Colombian, Dominican, Cuban, Honduran etc and not as a race. That’s the big difference between the US and those places. Some will tell you I’m not black I’m Ecuadorian but that’s just a lack of knowledge so to speak.
Fernando Bravo I go for Ecuadorian because of the arbitrary criteria that people use to merge Latinx people. And particularly because it’s culture related. I’m too ethnically ambiguous for me to have a generalized experience as being white, black, Asian, native, etc. that’s precisely why I rather just say Ecuadorian. It doesn’t matter if I say mixed race because you’ll judge me on what you see
Bryan Guevara I hear you I would answer just like you have. But being born here I recognize being Latino. As far as race I would just answer latino even though it’s a culture kind of like when you hear someone say there Jewish. In truth race wise I’m mixed. Racially ambiguous pretty much means your mixed. I don’t prescribe to Latin x cause that term is mentally off.
For starters, there was barely any talk about Indigenous or anti-indigenous within the community. There are very dark indigenous too and with distinct features not just “Afro-Latinos”. Also, the creating of all these new terms like “Afro-Latinos” create a divide within, not the countries or nations nor race, but within the culture that is so diverse already. No need to create more divide or par-tide between all people within the community. There’s no one look or type of Latino. It’s also an ethnicity not a race and that’s the difference and being informed/educated on the terminology. Yes we do need more representation of all different looking types of Latinos in the media but hats all types not just certain ones more than others. Con mucho amor!
You are ignoring the biggest issue in Latin Racism by not being inclusive. In current days, native indigenous people are stil the most marginalized, and racial targeted. These people don't have access to basic services, opportunities or education. Being born an indigenuos person means you will have a life that it's 3X times more difficult.
@Sabrina BillJoe "black latinx is below indigenous" Jajajaja absolutely not, please, there were multiple indigenous genocides just a few decades ago, don't talk about a region you clearly know nothing about I'm latin american
@Sabrina BillJoe Sabrina, I think you are not fully aware of the latin american indigenous people. If you are, your comment was very insensitive. We are not at a race to see who has it worse...but we're talking about people who don't have the minimum things to live a dignified life.
@Sabrina BillJoe who pretends that? Can you explain to me? We acknowledge black colombians (I talk about my country and culture because not every single latin country share the same culture) even though there are few racist issues, we are aware of our diverse and pluricultural, and pluriracial roots
@Sabrina BillJoe and, btw, Latinoamérica is a very poor continent...but being poor here and not having enough to live with dignity (again, at least in colombia) is not based on your skin colour. We have white, indigenous and black poor people...yet again, I don't think you know a single thing about indigenous peoples in Latinoamérica

I just identify as Puerto Rican but I was foolish to think that all people knew that PUERTO Ricans are mixed with African. European, and Native ancestry. I never say I'm all 3 and that was based on the assumption that people should know.
But not all PR are all 3 and honestly most PR have hardly any to no Native ancestry because the natives of the island died off very quickly at the start of colonialism. Most PR are different degrees of African and European mix, with a lot being just black and a lot being just white.
@@JD-ny3vz Well, it sounds like you took a dna survey of all PR's?...My PR wife will disagree with you, she's at least 36% NA, her family is mostly white skin or light brown. Don't believe all the UTube crap you read. ✌
Stevo Devo and a lot of Puerto Ricans don’t know that, some say there’s no such thing as dark puerto rican’s, im not even dark, im light skin. an my family is African/ Taino
And some Puerto Ricans are straight up of Black African descent (or close to it). I have met these people, and they still try to deny their African heritage. This denial is not limited to Puerto Rico; it is prevalent all of the Latin countries and territories that have a population of African descendants. It is a mental pathology brought on by centuries-long subjugation by the European colonizers.
You're stereotyping. Saying all Latins are anti black is very racist. It's bad enough the way you talk about whites. What the world needs is less black racism, which is widespread now.
1) This is an over simplification of many other long-term issues. 2) This is nothing new because Henry Gates already did an excellent episode on anti-blackness called “The Black Grandma in the Closet.” 4) You cannot simply group all Latino cultures and countries into one video, because they are certainly NOT the same and they do NOT share the same history. 5) You are CLEARLY ignoring many BLACK ancestry Latino artists who are super famous: Don Omar, Ozuna, Tego Calderón, Gloria, Megan Good, Zoe Saldana, Cardi B, Laz Alonso, Tessa Thompson, Rosario Dawson, among others. Due to the fact that Spanish colonizers created a cast system that permitted racial mixing and most Latinos are either mestizo or mulato, you don’t get to decide how much blackness it too little or too much, unlike the United States. They are very different stories, and this video seems like it is trying to impose one on the other.
You do have a point! The thing is that the content of this was to discuss how there are different realities for afrolatinos under the umbrella of latinidad. Also, all of the artist/actors you mentioned were either initially underground with urban/reggaeton which definitely received heavy backlash in its infancy or actors in the United States (not in the latin countries themselves). She talked about the magazine covers/ beauty pagents and the lack of representation there.
Karol G, for as much as I love her and appreciate her musical contributions is in fact benefitting off of the backs of years of innovation and struggle of the reggaeton and urban movement primarily spearheaded by the afrolatinos from Panama and Puerto Rico.
Race is viewed differently in Latin America than the United States because it wasn’t just black and whites but white, mixed, brown, and black. ethnic identity is very important to us which this video is ignoring the ethnic barrier between us because I noticed Latinos don’t like being connected to the other countries. Probably due to the history and blood spilled for their ethnic identity is very strong and sometimes stronger than race. An example, would be when you confuse each other from another country and they will very annoyed. Afro Latinos also do this with the black community of the USA. Also, this video ignored the enslavement and genocide of Indigenous people in Latin America. 90% of natives died from disease and many more were enslaved hence some areas don’t have high black populations like other areas because the native population was the enslaved work force in that area. For example the Andean regions and the Amazon. Enslavement of natives even happened until the 20th century hence this belief of black people being slaves isn’t unique to them, but in the United States black culture that is a very strong part of their identity. Latin America is very complicated because the biggest issue isn’t racism but just corruption and poverty. It’s hard to say a particular race is dominating when you see many of that racial group in the slums. To say lighter skin people have it easier has some truth, but it’s not like their living first world lives.
@@radrook7584 In Latin America depending on the country because the institutions don’t oppress minorities like in the USA because a lot of the time the governments have fallen apart and been replaced with other governments that also been ineffective. Therefore, if a Latin American country had try to implement Jim Crow laws then it wouldn’t have work because the governments also doesn’t work. The society however will vary because some countries societies will have more racism than others but if you ever notice it’s more often in the urban areas than suburban. This is because urban areas is where rich White people live and the look down on everyone that aren’t white or rich. Also, these countries are very mixed while in America they followed the one drop rule and the attitude of intermixing wasn’t good so culture didn’t mesh together cause of segregation. This one is probably the most important one is that everyone is poor, so to say a certain race is privileged is weird especially when everyone is living in shitty situations. Hence, class is more important to them because everyone is desperate for money, so if you Black and have money then they love you
@@brotherjay4614 The reason why Jim Crow was never attempted in Latin America was because Latin Americans had a completely different view of slavery than the Anglo Americans did To the Latinos, slavery was merely a misfortune that could befall anyone. In contrast, Anglo Americans considered it a curse on the black race uttered against Noah's Son Ham. Latin Americans viewed slaves as human beings. Anglo Americans viewed them as mere property. Latin Americans had laws protecting slaves from being separated from their close family members. Slaves were also allowed to work to earn their freedom. Anglo Americans had no such provisions. Of course, to Anglo Americans, Jim Crow was merely an extension of a previous belief of black innate inferiority. In contrast, Latin Americans could not institute Jim Crow because they viewed blacks as fellow human beings which needed to be treated as such. .
You made some valid points though this subject is many layered. Who said Zoe Saldana Isn't considered Latina. She's always been that Dominicana flaquita. And I for one, feel there's a push to have us embrace ONLY African American culture.
@@radrook7584 blacks were viewed differently In Latin America because the Spanish were not as tribalistic like Britain. British were so tribal that the island next them, the Irish, were seen as second class and inferior. While the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) had more relations with African and Arabs. Some Africans were in the Iberian peninsula with wealth and even joined the conquistadors conquering indigenous. However, the Spanish were still racist like everyone else in the world at the time and still placed African descendants at the bottom of the hierarchy of the colonies. Though, the racial caste allowed lighter skin indigenous and blacks to be respected more. Also, with the indigenous being included into the Spanish society unlike British tactics of removal and genocide, the Spanish would use blacks to be in charge over natives in many situations like soldiers. Like I said before Latin America is a mess where you could find various points where different groups become the most abused and switch to another.
This discussion kills me ... the influence of american culture to create a black white dichotomy in latin america is really unrealistic in latin spaces especially when you leave out the native american component which is equally as ignored and when you realize a majority of latin americans are mixed race despite apperances making our problem a colorism issue and class problem more than just afro latinoes (who are also usually mixed with native and european) and the rest....you see i cant say black and white the way inwould in america where the average white person is just that
You are missing the point. Tell me if there was no dichotomy embedded in latin american or carribbean countries, why all over in latin american and carribbean countries, white/light skins are in positions of power/money and darker skin at bottom/poor? Why TV in those countries shows mostly people of white/light skin? Please explain it to me. If you are black, they are trying to instill in you the consciousness of your blackness so you can take the power back. Your white/light countrymen are trying to convince you that there is no racism or there is no white or black but how come they are the ones who have the power?? Think about it.
Even in Africa people are bleaching their skin. We have every right to call out the unwarranted hate and disrespect we receive but we have to love and respect ourselves/each other first. Ados fba and similar movements are toxic. Diaspora wars won't get us anywhere.
ADOS centers the Black American ethnicity and calls for specificity. Folks who label it “toxic” tend to view Black Americans as political mules, a resource to expand redress to unaffected groups, and maintain a domestic stigma against Black Americans for their own gain. The Diaspora enjoyed decades of resource mining and replacement, that time is over.
Thank you for this video. I'm showing this to my students who are primarily from Spanish Speaking Caribbean countries--mostly from DR. This will help unpack a juicy discussion.
As a Latina, I think it’s fine as long as you’re not telling them to forsake their culture, language, and make them choose a side. They should embrace their African Roots, and acknowledge the Colorism problems within the community, without hating their Latino culture. As long as that is respected I’m sure it will be a positive experience for them.
Sometimes it's not anti- blackness, it's more anti- black Afro-americans, where, say Dominican and Cuban and. Boricuas do not want to lose their cultural identity which is more than skin color. It's about ways of interacting with others
Argentina is one of the most racist countries I've ever visited. It barely admits that there were once African slaves there, or that it genocided the indigenous population during the Conquest of the Desert. The US and Brazil fantasize that they are "racial democracies." Argentines fantasize that they're European.
@jrjoseph9213 yeah you identify as Argentinians period? So tell me why in your country, most of the power is in the hands of people of European descent?
@jrjoseph9213 it is all related my friend. If you are all argentinians (period), why your fellow brown argentinans are being discriminated against? Although Argentina still denies the existence of black argentinians - Different topic-
Very educational and useful information. I’m an educator who aspires to be more aware and inclusive about racial and ethnic groups and their history in the Americas. Thanks for this great content. We have much work to do as black folx to acknowledge and celebrate all our diversity.
an american talking about this outdated and racist meaning of this word and referring to us as latinx is deeply offensive and uniformed. as a pardo brazilian this is not even close to what latinidad means in latin america, latinidad is us embracing our mixed heritage and emphasizing each of our ancestral cultures. you are applying american racial ideas to non-americans.
seems that blacks are jealous of the fact that European features are desirable. As white europeans have features that are pure, precious, unique, beautiful, and truly one of a kind. Whitening a population is a noble cause that helps make any society better.
wtf is latino or latinidad, seriously people come up with the most stupid terms. There is no such thing as a "latino" race, latinoamerica esta habitada por personas de diferentes razas, mezclas y culturas. El concepto de "latino" es de lo mas absurdo que hay. Es como decir que un Dominicano y un Argentino son similares porque son latinos. Nada que ver! Solo porque se habla el mismo idioma eso no significa que compartamos las mismas costumbres, valores, o seamos del mismo origen racial. Dejen de confundir a la gente con conceptos absurdos. Yo soy de Ecuador y aqui hay de todo, indigenas(nativos americanos), negros, blancos, asiaticos. hay mestizos, hay mulatos, hay zambos, hay mezcla de todo. Tu no vas por la calle y dices ese es "latino". Si ves a un blanco a o un Negro sino abre la boca no sabrás si es de Latinoamerica, de Uganda, de Francia o de la China. Cada quien es de el pais que es, y eso es lo que es, que importa su raza. Yo soy mayoritariamente indigena de sudamerica, descendiente de la etnia Inca, un imperio con siglos de historia. Y no voy a dejar que nadie me encasille, con "latino" o lo que sea que eso signifique. respeten las diferencias de todos, y dejen de ir imponiendo sus doctrinas absurdas. Como si no tuvieramos suficiente con la mayoria de latinoamericanos diciendo que son mestizos cuando en realidad son racialmente INDIGENENAS y ESO es motivo de mucho orgullo.
El concepto de raza es una construción social y abilita a que un determinado grupo de personas tienen mucho en común. La Raza Latina si era un concepto hasta que un europeo vino y dijo que las razas estaban asociadas a la biolgia humana, lo cual se ha comprobado imposble con los avances y el ADN. Entonces, eliminando esa teoria absurda, La Raza Latina si es una raza. Raza no significa color, ni mucho menos que se parezcan fisicamenre. Por ejemplo, La Raza Asiatica (Si, es una raza/no sólo un continente) incluye a los Chinos, Japoneses, Coreanos que se parecen mucho entre ellos, pero tambien incluye a India. La mayoria de los de ese pais son morenos, sin embargo son parte de la misma raza que los chinos, que se podria decir que nada tienen en común fisicamente, pero si culturalemnte, como las religiones y tradiciones asociadas con las mismas. Así es que partiendo de esta premisa, un Argentino puede estar en la misma categoría que un Dominicano o Colombiano o Boricua, etc. La Raza Latina. Latin Race. Búscalo! BTW: Cuando se dividieron las razas por colores, se estipulo que la raza blanca era superiora a todas las demas, este fué el unico motivo para hacer esto. por los años 1800s sin ninguna pruaba cientifica que sustentara dicha teoria.
Siento llevarte la contraria pero somos latinos porque nuestro origen biológico es indígena y español. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo en que la cultura americana habla de nuestras raíces como si realmente las comprendieran o como si nosotros los que tenemos la fortuna de crecer y vivir en nuestros países indígenas hablàsemos de su origen africano y les inventaramos nuevos adjetivos para describir su cultura y origen como lo hacen ellos. Aparte del idioma tenemos algo muy importante en común ecuatorianos, mexicanos , cubanos, puertorriqueños, argentinos, colombianos, peruanos, uruguayos, paraguayos, costarricenses, chilenos, guatemaltecos, hondureños, cubanos, haitianos, venezolanos, panameños, dominicanos y nicaragüenses: Herencia, cultura y diversidad. Esto provoca envidias (aunque no lo creas) y junto con nuestro dominio del español nos ha hecho lo que somos; una potencia multicultural , multiétnica e idiomática, que nadie más que nosotros posee y esto nada ni nadie lo puede negar o cambiar por más que nos quieran encasillar con terminología inexistente. Es un privilegio formar parte de una cultura con verdadera herencia ancestral y diversidad, y tu herencia mayoritariamente indígena es la parte esencial de esto que hoy nos conforma... de esto que hoy somos. No renuncies a ése privilegio.
@@copeyano718Latinidad is a legitimate Spanish word but Latinx is gringo shit that breaks basic Spanish grammar rules and is very widely hated by the people it was supposed to represent.
Stop trying to make "latino" an identity...latino is no race, so we don't look any particular way, we don't talk any particular way and not every single latin american is the same
Neither it is...as mostly USA citizens use it, it is a category to throw everything that is south from the USA fuck that, I'm colombiano, an my culture is not latin culture...it is colombian culture
Latino means one who speaks Latin (the Romans), or a Latin derived language, like Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French. Interesting that this person links Hispanic to Spain but leaves out linking Latino to Europe...
@@robertday-i3kIn Latin America we are mostly mixed, even those who have more indigenous, black or Caucasian ancestry is to have something in common and build a national identity and not a racial one like in the US.
There’s too much to unpack here on this sensitive issue with historical, global policies clearly pulling the strings and influencing people’s behaviour. The only way to create a truly diverse, welcoming society we need to come out and discuss these issues. I don’t see Indigenous Latinos come out in the way African descent Latinos do. As a matter of identity- I don’t see those Latinos who call themselves Afro Latinos identify themselves through their indigenous ancestry as well when they have both ancestries. I suppose it’s influenced by the African American legacy. In any case I love both of my ancestries.
In Latin America, as well as the rest of the world, it is OK to identify with how you look. They do not honor your Anglo American, racist slave-master-derived, one-drop rule.
I see antiblackness in the comments for sure. Here we have a black latina speaking and people telling her she's wrong and acting like she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Unfortunately, I don't see this changing because of the strong anti- blackness that exists in Latin America. I love Mexico, but even the Anti- Indigenous attitude that exists, surprises my when so many people are brown. Univision does little to represent the diversity of Latin America. I'm really surprised at how Anti-Black Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic and Cuba can be when Africa is so well represented in the food and music.
Hate is a byproduct of just how weak someone is internally. You cant get me to be so conditioned to be so disenchanted with someone being lighter or darker than me, that i'll react positively or negatively towards them. This is because i deem myself as a true leader and one who cuts against the grain.
Ironic you mention “white latino” racism against afro-latinos yet you leave out Belize’s discrimination against the Maya peoples. So it’s only racist when “white latinos” discriminate but when black belizeans do it it’s not even worth mentioning, right?
It *IS* always _bad_ when the Amerindios/Mestizo and/or Afro-Latinos-as are racist with the criollos-as/castizos-as (btw, *NONE of these terms are in actual use today* ). That's perfectly acceptable. Nobody cares. Because I am _suuure it neeeeever happens._ You did *_NOT_* know that?! 🙃
Colonizers are not included but y’all the ones who are descendants of the colonizers and also Latino is just Spanish for Latin so how can u take their identities and not include them? Italy is Latin too.
It is a term that they gave in the United States to people from the south who speak Spanish, it is not a term that Spanish-speaking countries gave themselves.
Yes you are black. Yes you are Latina. European colonialism isn’t exclusive to just “Latinos” that’s across the board. There’s a disconnect from the US point of view and those within the countries. It’s a different mentality.
wtf did i just watch... lol. The spanish empire controlled all of south america.... IT was called el Rio de la plata. We are all latinos because our language comes from the Latin language. Leave my black hispanics alone we are all latinos. This video is stupid. Sech is a reggaeton artist and he's black. Obviously his background is African if you trace it, but he is latino theres no discrimination. stop the division. we are all equal.
What about here in America, Beyonce is light-skinned and most African American actors male /female are light with long curly hair and in reality, they mostly don't look like that?
Those governments should of create conditions for the African populations living in those countries for them to return to Africa, which is a continent that offers plenty of economic opportunities. Besides, Europeans don't actually need the Blacks anymore since the end of slavery, their presence is but a nuisance in Latin America nowadays, besides they don't wish to be part of those nation's cultural and political lives. I believe this would be the best solution to this problem.
Yeah, but in lots of countries in Africa there’s poverty problem and corruption/crimes. The only country I can think about that’s decent is Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, South Africa which most of them I mentioned are Berber/Arab states
Given the US’s economic power, it has been able to project its cultural norms onto countries with less economic, and thus, cultural power. The concept of Latino in the US was not one originally used to unite a people. It was used by identity those who weren’t white or black in a race-conscious America, the Mexican of ambiguous ancestry or, with the annexation of Puerto Rico and the large migration in the early 20th century, legions of racially-mixed Puerto Ricans that were hard to place into the America boxes. Brazil was Latin America but the people were not considered Hispanic or Latin in the American context (see early US Census definitions) just like Haiti is Latin America but the people are not considered Latin in the American context. A better understanding of the usage of the term is needed, not simply jumping from the first use of Latino to today’s usage without examining how population percentages have changed to where people of Latin American descent outstrip those descendants of enslaved Africans in the US. This was not the case until quite sometime after the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
the situation is different with indigenous people. cause afro Latinos are completely excluded as if they didn't exist. whereas for indigenous, they try to lump in indigenous things like culture and physical features like skin color, facial features ect. as part of a single "latin" culture that "came from spain" according to them. like how at the beginning of this video when you showed JLO as a example of a "white latina" because of her skin color and facial features, not noticing that any indigenous person can be the same skin complexion and have the same facial features as JLO. So they ignore the presence of black latinos, and with indigenous people, they try to culturally appropriate indigenous things. well I am here to tell you that europeans didnt bring light skin and straight hair and keen facial features to america, our native ancestors already had those physical traits.
True, those things were already in the Americas. Strange, But I have never heard any Latino saying otherwise. Also, in Latin America Jaylo is not viewed as white.Instead she might be viewed as Mestiza or Triguena and never used as an example of a white Latina. Actually, her facial features clearly indicate a non-European ancestry.
@@radrook7584 well I would say more she is indigenous passing cause she has been in demand to play Mexican roles in many movies like in Selena and the movie "my family" where she plays a Mexican mom. And us Mexicans usually look indigenous. If they were to make a film abt colonization and jlo was in it, she wouldn't quite fit into the colonizers white spaniard wife role. And she wouldn't fit into the black african slave role either. She would fit into a more Pocahontas, daughter of the tribal chief role.
@@radrook7584 Jlo has had at least 3 surgeries, on her nose, cheeks, and jawline. She's had her brows lifted as well. Most Latina winners of beauty pageants have had rhinoplasty surgery, as many stars of Latin cinema.
We're proud of our latinidad, it doesn't if we look black, white, Amerindian, arab etc etc, we embrace latinidad. Our customs is based on Spanish/ Southern European with African and Amerindian influences and admixture, not Anglo Saxon. We will not change it for anybody else, it's our identify. This video is offensive to me because these Americans are trying to divide us and destroy our culture and identity just like they did to themselves
That woman is a fake, she talks about Latin America without being Latin, our culture is different from Yankee, we are brothers, we don't discriminate against anyone, that's why there is no BLM in Latin America
Here in Brazil we had a fascist and eugenist movimment supported by the government on the 30's (AIB - Ação Integralista Brasileira). Based on a eugenist pseudoscience, saying black and natives were from an inferior race and to save the country they need to make bigger the white population. That's why they asked for white european immigrants come to Brasil. On the world war 2, we had an immigration of retired nazis and other germans and Italians scaping from the war. On a diferent situation of that others immigrants. But much before that, in 1818, when Brasil was an empire, we received deserters from the south of USA, confederates. The brazilian's government gave lands and money to them, to they be stabilized here. That's because the brazilian's crowd was into masonry, like those deserters soldiers. Yeah, we have a huge native and black population, but as colony we were destroyed by racists governments.
As a Colombian, of course there are racist people everywhere, but I can say racism in my country is way less institutional and violent than in the USA, the police here is very corrupt and yet I have never seen a single case of a cop commiting a racist hate crime in my country, and also people here are less obsessed with race in general, blacks here identify as blacks, but not with the same level of obsession blacks in the USA do, latinos are okay with NOT being special and don't have this weird obsession for believing they are special or standing out that Americans have. Don't get me wrong, there are problems with racism in my country such as job opportunities and prejudice, but it's not as blatantly hateful and violent as the cases you can see in the USA with racist cops for example, and classism is a bigger problem than racism here, people who come from poor regions of the country could be discriminated if they go to the capital, regardless of their skin color.
It's cicologically and emotionally. It's does not mean lesser than the Black America. Comparing does not help, bcs the racist started differently in all countries. Like in Africa racist is not the same as America, in Europe and in Brazil. Everywhere is different and the all have different results to it. So plz don't compare

Latinos and Hispanic ain’t a race. All we ever see is White Latinas and Hispanics. A lot of trends Latinos partake in such as laying their edges came from black Americans which include the Black LatinX and Hispanics.
That's not correct because if you call a Spaniard a Hispanic they will lose their mind they will tell you quick they are not Hispanic they are Spaniard they do not consider Hispanics Spaniards they may have Spaniard blood in them but they are not on the same level
I dislike the term Hispanic, it was invented in the '70s in the U.S. we know who we are, Hispanic just grouped many of us together. Latino is better imo. If you're from Spain, your Spanish!
"they may have Spaniard blood" who? the 1,2% of the population? argentinians, chileans or uruguanyans with spanish grand parents from the 50s inmigration? If they have indigenous or black phenotype, the looks, they have nothing spaniard in them. I can assure you. No more than a black american with 5% of european DNA. Is that clear?
So you speak from experience? Spain has over 40 million plus people. You are saying they all think the same? Even if they did nobody gives a damn. Stop worrying about Hispanics and worry about your people

It came from European colonialism and the legacy left behind from it.
White Supremacy ideological doctrine.
Anti-blackness originated in the Talmud created by Rabbis. It's called "The Curse Of Ham". The Jewish merchants of Europe used this "Ham curse" to justify the lucrative transatlantic slave trade then Jim Crow and apartheid. White-Jews taught the idea that black skin is a curse to other races.

Also in America you can’t just walk into any salon without someone saying “we don’t do your kind of hair.”
The difference is America at least acknowledges it. And the people who are Black at least are vocal at dispelling racism. In latin American, many Black people are not self identifying, so they never really get a chance of being vocal against racism. That's why they continue to be on the bottom, because of the lack of action of self identifying as Black or Afro Latino/a.

White Supremacy is not the only reason why people are nasty. Most of the nastiness I have encountered in life has been from people who are not white supremacists. It has been mainly from black supremacists and belligerently-inclined Puerto Ricans who don't give a rat's fat ass whether I am from their same island or not.

Yap, she got it so wrong. But most of the african descendents in Brazil are mixed race, aka they also have European and even Southern native American ancestry. So, it's kinda confusing, in many ways. There is even people already mixed with Arabs,.Indians and Japanese, because Brazil has really a very diversified population.

Thank god for social media because a lot of that bullshit is being exposed and many of them have to face it because everyone is privy to it. The self hate in Latin communities is REAL and shameful.

They don't have to? Why generalize an entire group of people? I'm Black and I don't care about how these people feel about my Blackness. Y'all Black people are too pressed about these people. Stop begging to be loved and love yourself.
It’s nauseating and tiring… we don’t identify by race what’s so difficult about understanding that? Yet Hispanics are the first to be accused of being self haters and in denial. GTFOH. Good to hear a person with good perspective on the matter
@YUCAYEQUE "mejorar la raza" does very much still exist so I don't see how that constitutes, "not identifying by race." Just look at how many Mexicans complained that Nemore in Black Panther 2 was too "dark" to play the role in that movie, even though he wasn't that dark and looked more indigenous.
Never heard of latinidid. I just consider myself Ecuadorian with all the amazing ambiguity that brings :))
Karen Aguilar yeah I hate that. that’s why I use Ecuadorian.
Lantindad to my knowledge is pride in being Latino. Latin x is a new term for those who feel left out from the looks of it. The mistake people have made us to think being Latino is a race. We’re a culture. The host is right she’s black but if she would deny being Latina that would be due to her life experience being negative on some level with that. Being Ecuadorian is your ethnicity and he country your from (I’m assuming you were born there or your parents are from there) in the US you’re looked at in group form before specifics or individually. People from north ,“central” , South America and the Caribbean are not the only ones affected by European colonialism. Everyone has pretty much. In the black community this is self evident in a variety of forms but sticking to the bad hair term how many black women do you see with their natural hair? I find it hypocritical to talk black pride when you don’t even realize you lack it. That’s not a reference to the host cause that may very well be her hair but there’s plenty of other women that fall into that category. As for the lady she’s interviewing she’s spot on with what she’s saying though it’s a different understanding from the US and those countries. I’m assuming the host is from here and that’s why she views it how she does. Also those of mixed “race” which is the majority of “Latinos” tend to not acknowledge all of their backgrounds saying I’m black or I’m white when in fact they are both or native, Asian etc etc. This is particularly true in the US. In Ecuador and other Spanish colonized countries I think moat people just look at them selves as Ecuadorian, Colombian, Dominican, Cuban, Honduran etc and not as a race. That’s the big difference between the US and those places. Some will tell you I’m not black I’m Ecuadorian but that’s just a lack of knowledge so to speak.
Fernando Bravo I go for Ecuadorian because of the arbitrary criteria that people use to merge Latinx people. And particularly because it’s culture related. I’m too ethnically ambiguous for me to have a generalized experience as being white, black, Asian, native, etc. that’s precisely why I rather just say Ecuadorian. It doesn’t matter if I say mixed race because you’ll judge me on what you see
Bryan Guevara I hear you I would answer just like you have. But being born here I recognize being Latino. As far as race I would just answer latino even though it’s a culture kind of like when you hear someone say there Jewish. In truth race wise I’m mixed. Racially ambiguous pretty much means your mixed. I don’t prescribe to Latin x cause that term is mentally off.
I never heard that term either. I guess I fully Americanized now
For starters, there was barely any talk about Indigenous or anti-indigenous within the community. There are very dark indigenous too and with distinct features not just “Afro-Latinos”. Also, the creating of all these new terms like “Afro-Latinos” create a divide within, not the countries or nations nor race, but within the culture that is so diverse already. No need to create more divide or par-tide between all people within the community. There’s no one look or type of Latino. It’s also an ethnicity not a race and that’s the difference and being informed/educated on the terminology. Yes we do need more representation of all different looking types of Latinos in the media but hats all types not just certain ones more than others. Con mucho amor!
theres no one look to any race, some more than others
You are ignoring the biggest issue in Latin Racism by not being inclusive.
In current days, native indigenous people are stil the most marginalized, and racial targeted. These people don't have access to basic services, opportunities or education.
Being born an indigenuos person means you will have a life that it's 3X times more difficult.
@Sabrina BillJoe thats a false statement Sabrina
@Sabrina BillJoe "black latinx is below indigenous"
Jajajaja absolutely not, please, there were multiple indigenous genocides just a few decades ago, don't talk about a region you clearly know nothing about
I'm latin american
@Sabrina BillJoe Sabrina, I think you are not fully aware of the latin american indigenous people. If you are, your comment was very insensitive. We are not at a race to see who has it worse...but we're talking about people who don't have the minimum things to live a dignified life.
@Sabrina BillJoe who pretends that? Can you explain to me? We acknowledge black colombians (I talk about my country and culture because not every single latin country share the same culture) even though there are few racist issues, we are aware of our diverse and pluricultural, and pluriracial roots
@Sabrina BillJoe and, btw, Latinoamérica is a very poor continent...but being poor here and not having enough to live with dignity (again, at least in colombia) is not based on your skin colour. We have white, indigenous and black poor people...yet again, I don't think you know a single thing about indigenous peoples in Latinoamérica

I just identify as Puerto Rican but I was foolish to think that all people knew that PUERTO Ricans are mixed with African. European, and Native ancestry. I never say I'm all 3 and that was based on the assumption that people should know.
Not all PR's have African, you should know this, nothing against Africans!
But not all PR are all 3 and honestly most PR have hardly any to no Native ancestry because the natives of the island died off very quickly at the start of colonialism. Most PR are different degrees of African and European mix, with a lot being just black and a lot being just white.
@@JD-ny3vz
Well, it sounds like you took a dna survey of all PR's?...My PR wife will disagree with you, she's at least 36% NA, her family is mostly white skin or light brown. Don't believe all the UTube crap you read. ✌
Stevo Devo and a lot of Puerto Ricans don’t know that, some say there’s no such thing as dark puerto rican’s, im not even dark, im light skin. an my family is African/ Taino
And some Puerto Ricans are straight up of Black African descent (or close to it). I have met these people, and they still try to deny their African heritage. This denial is not limited to Puerto Rico; it is prevalent all of the Latin countries and territories that have a population of African descendants. It is a mental pathology brought on by centuries-long subjugation by the European colonizers.
You're stereotyping. Saying all Latins are anti black is very racist. It's bad enough the way you talk about whites. What the world needs is less black racism, which is widespread now.
True. This video has a few selected half truths, and then heavily relies in opinion.
1) This is an over simplification of many other long-term issues. 2) This is nothing new because Henry Gates already did an excellent episode on anti-blackness called “The Black Grandma in the Closet.” 4) You cannot simply group all Latino cultures and countries into one video, because they are certainly NOT the same and they do NOT share the same history. 5) You are CLEARLY ignoring many BLACK ancestry Latino artists who are super famous: Don Omar, Ozuna, Tego Calderón, Gloria, Megan Good, Zoe Saldana, Cardi B, Laz Alonso, Tessa Thompson, Rosario Dawson, among others. Due to the fact that Spanish colonizers created a cast system that permitted racial mixing and most Latinos are either mestizo or mulato, you don’t get to decide how much blackness it too little or too much, unlike the United States. They are very different stories, and this video seems like it is trying to impose one on the other.
In other words, you didn't watch the video?
Agreed.
Megan Good is latina?
You do have a point! The thing is that the content of this was to discuss how there are different realities for afrolatinos under the umbrella of latinidad. Also, all of the artist/actors you mentioned were either initially underground with urban/reggaeton which definitely received heavy backlash in its infancy or actors in the United States (not in the latin countries themselves). She talked about the magazine covers/ beauty pagents and the lack of representation there.
Karol G, for as much as I love her and appreciate her musical contributions is in fact benefitting off of the backs of years of innovation and struggle of the reggaeton and urban movement primarily spearheaded by the afrolatinos from Panama and Puerto Rico.
Race is viewed differently in Latin America than the United States because it wasn’t just black and whites but white, mixed, brown, and black.
ethnic identity is very important to us which this video is ignoring the ethnic barrier between us because I noticed Latinos don’t like being connected to the other countries. Probably due to the history and blood spilled for their ethnic identity is very strong and sometimes stronger than race. An example, would be when you confuse each other from another country and they will very annoyed. Afro Latinos also do this with the black community of the USA.
Also, this video ignored the enslavement and genocide of Indigenous people in Latin America. 90% of natives died from disease and many more were enslaved hence some areas don’t have high black populations like other areas because the native population was the enslaved work force in that area. For example the Andean regions and the Amazon. Enslavement of natives even happened until the 20th century hence this belief of black people being slaves isn’t unique to them, but in the United States black culture that is a very strong part of their identity.
Latin America is very complicated because the biggest issue isn’t racism but just corruption and poverty. It’s hard to say a particular race is dominating when you see many of that racial group in the slums. To say lighter skin people have it easier has some truth, but it’s not like their living first world lives.
How exactly is it viewed differently?
@@radrook7584 In Latin America depending on the country because the institutions don’t oppress minorities like in the USA because a lot of the time the governments have fallen apart and been replaced with other governments that also been ineffective. Therefore, if a Latin American country had try to implement Jim Crow laws then it wouldn’t have work because the governments also doesn’t work.
The society however will vary because some countries societies will have more racism than others but if you ever notice it’s more often in the urban areas than suburban. This is because urban areas is where rich White people live and the look down on everyone that aren’t white or rich. Also, these countries are very mixed while in America they followed the one drop rule and the attitude of intermixing wasn’t good so culture didn’t mesh together cause of segregation.
This one is probably the most important one is that everyone is poor, so to say a certain race is privileged is weird especially when everyone is living in shitty situations. Hence, class is more important to them because everyone is desperate for money, so if you Black and have money then they love you
@@brotherjay4614 The reason why Jim Crow was never attempted in Latin America was because Latin Americans had a completely different view of slavery than the Anglo Americans did
To the Latinos, slavery was merely a misfortune that could befall anyone. In contrast, Anglo Americans considered it a curse on the black race uttered against Noah's Son Ham.
Latin Americans viewed slaves as human beings. Anglo Americans viewed them as mere property. Latin Americans had laws protecting slaves from being separated from their close family members. Slaves were also allowed to work to earn their freedom. Anglo Americans had no such provisions.
Of course, to Anglo Americans, Jim Crow was merely an extension of a previous belief of black innate inferiority. In contrast, Latin Americans could not institute Jim Crow because they viewed blacks as fellow human beings which needed to be treated as such. .
You made some valid points though this subject is many
layered. Who said Zoe Saldana
Isn't considered Latina. She's
always been that Dominicana flaquita. And I for one, feel there's a push to have us embrace ONLY African American culture.
@@radrook7584 blacks were viewed differently In Latin America because the Spanish were not as tribalistic like Britain. British were so tribal that the island next them, the Irish, were seen as second class and inferior. While the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) had more relations with African and Arabs. Some Africans were in the Iberian peninsula with wealth and even joined the conquistadors conquering indigenous.
However, the Spanish were still racist like everyone else in the world at the time and still placed African descendants at the bottom of the hierarchy of the colonies. Though, the racial caste allowed lighter skin indigenous and blacks to be respected more.
Also, with the indigenous being included into the Spanish society unlike British tactics of removal and genocide, the Spanish would use blacks to be in charge over natives in many situations like soldiers.
Like I said before Latin America is a mess where you could find various points where different groups become the most abused and switch to another.

This discussion kills me ... the influence of american culture to create a black white dichotomy in latin america is really unrealistic in latin spaces especially when you leave out the native american component which is equally as ignored and when you realize a majority of latin americans are mixed race despite apperances making our problem a colorism issue and class problem more than just afro latinoes (who are also usually mixed with native and european) and the rest....you see i cant say black and white the way inwould in america where the average white person is just that
You are missing the point. Tell me if there was no dichotomy embedded in latin american or carribbean countries, why all over in latin american and carribbean countries, white/light skins are in positions of power/money and darker skin at bottom/poor? Why TV in those countries shows mostly people of white/light skin? Please explain it to me.
If you are black, they are trying to instill in you the consciousness of your blackness so you can take the power back. Your white/light countrymen are trying to convince you that there is no racism or there is no white or black but how come they are the ones who have the power?? Think about it.

Even in Africa people are bleaching their skin. We have every right to call out the unwarranted hate and disrespect we receive but we have to love and respect ourselves/each other first. Ados fba and similar movements are toxic. Diaspora wars won't get us anywhere.
ADOS centers the Black American ethnicity and calls for specificity. Folks who label it “toxic” tend to view Black Americans as political mules, a resource to expand redress to unaffected groups, and maintain a domestic stigma against Black Americans for their own gain. The Diaspora enjoyed decades of resource mining and replacement, that time is over.

As long as that is respected I’m sure it will be a positive experience for them.

wtf is latino or latinidad, seriously people come up with the most stupid terms. There is no such thing as a "latino" race, latinoamerica esta habitada por personas de diferentes razas, mezclas y culturas. El concepto de "latino" es de lo mas absurdo que hay. Es como decir que un Dominicano y un Argentino son similares porque son latinos. Nada que ver! Solo porque se habla el mismo idioma eso no significa que compartamos las mismas costumbres, valores, o seamos del mismo origen racial. Dejen de confundir a la gente con conceptos absurdos. Yo soy de Ecuador y aqui hay de todo, indigenas(nativos americanos), negros, blancos, asiaticos. hay mestizos, hay mulatos, hay zambos, hay mezcla de todo. Tu no vas por la calle y dices ese es "latino". Si ves a un blanco a o un Negro sino abre la boca no sabrás si es de Latinoamerica, de Uganda, de Francia o de la China. Cada quien es de el pais que es, y eso es lo que es, que importa su raza. Yo soy mayoritariamente indigena de sudamerica, descendiente de la etnia Inca, un imperio con siglos de historia. Y no voy a dejar que nadie me encasille, con "latino" o lo que sea que eso signifique. respeten las diferencias de todos, y dejen de ir imponiendo sus doctrinas absurdas. Como si no tuvieramos suficiente con la mayoria de latinoamericanos diciendo que son mestizos cuando en realidad son racialmente INDIGENENAS y ESO es motivo de mucho orgullo.
El concepto de raza es una construción social y abilita a que un determinado grupo de personas tienen mucho en común. La Raza Latina si era un concepto hasta que un europeo vino y dijo que las razas estaban asociadas a la biolgia humana, lo cual se ha comprobado imposble con los avances y el ADN. Entonces, eliminando esa teoria absurda, La Raza Latina si es una raza. Raza no significa color, ni mucho menos que se parezcan fisicamenre. Por ejemplo, La Raza Asiatica (Si, es una raza/no sólo un continente) incluye a los Chinos, Japoneses, Coreanos que se parecen mucho entre ellos, pero tambien incluye a India. La mayoria de los de ese pais son morenos, sin embargo son parte de la misma raza que los chinos, que se podria decir que nada tienen en común fisicamente, pero si culturalemnte, como las religiones y tradiciones asociadas con las mismas. Así es que partiendo de esta premisa, un Argentino puede estar en la misma categoría que un Dominicano o Colombiano o Boricua, etc. La Raza Latina. Latin Race. Búscalo! BTW: Cuando se dividieron las razas por colores, se estipulo que la raza blanca era superiora a todas las demas, este fué el unico motivo para hacer esto. por los años 1800s sin ninguna pruaba cientifica que sustentara dicha teoria.
@Diego Gallego jajajajaja se nota
Siento llevarte la contraria pero somos latinos porque nuestro origen biológico es indígena y español. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo en que la cultura americana habla de nuestras raíces como si realmente las comprendieran o como si nosotros los que tenemos la fortuna de crecer y vivir en nuestros países indígenas hablàsemos de su origen africano y les inventaramos nuevos adjetivos para describir su cultura y origen como lo hacen ellos. Aparte del idioma tenemos algo muy importante en común ecuatorianos, mexicanos , cubanos, puertorriqueños, argentinos, colombianos, peruanos, uruguayos, paraguayos, costarricenses, chilenos, guatemaltecos, hondureños, cubanos, haitianos, venezolanos, panameños, dominicanos y nicaragüenses: Herencia, cultura y diversidad. Esto provoca envidias (aunque no lo creas) y junto con nuestro dominio del español nos ha hecho lo que somos; una potencia multicultural , multiétnica e idiomática, que nadie más que nosotros posee y esto nada ni nadie lo puede negar o cambiar por más que nos quieran encasillar con terminología inexistente. Es un privilegio formar parte de una cultura con verdadera herencia ancestral y diversidad, y tu herencia mayoritariamente indígena es la parte esencial de esto que hoy nos conforma... de esto que hoy somos. No renuncies a ése privilegio.

There’s too much to unpack here on this sensitive issue with historical, global policies clearly pulling the strings and influencing people’s behaviour. The only way to create a truly diverse, welcoming society we need to come out and discuss these issues. I don’t see Indigenous Latinos come out in the way African descent Latinos do. As a matter of identity- I don’t see those Latinos who call themselves Afro Latinos identify themselves through their indigenous ancestry as well when they have both ancestries. I suppose it’s influenced by the African American legacy. In any case I love both of my ancestries.

Those governments should of create conditions for the African populations living in those countries for them to return to Africa, which is a continent that offers plenty of economic opportunities. Besides, Europeans don't actually need the Blacks anymore since the end of slavery, their presence is but a nuisance in Latin America nowadays, besides they don't wish to be part of those nation's cultural and political lives.
I believe this would be the best solution to this problem.
Yeah, but in lots of countries in Africa there’s poverty problem and corruption/crimes. The only country I can think about that’s decent is Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, South Africa which most of them I mentioned are Berber/Arab states
Given the US’s economic power, it has been able to project its cultural norms onto countries with less economic, and thus, cultural power.
The concept of Latino in the US was not one originally used to unite a people. It was used by identity those who weren’t white or black in a race-conscious America, the Mexican of ambiguous ancestry or, with the annexation of Puerto Rico and the large migration in the early 20th century, legions of racially-mixed Puerto Ricans that were hard to place into the America boxes.
Brazil was Latin America but the people were not considered Hispanic or Latin in the American context (see early US Census definitions) just like Haiti is Latin America but the people are not considered Latin in the American context.
A better understanding of the usage of the term is needed, not simply jumping from the first use of Latino to today’s usage without examining how population percentages have changed to where people of Latin American descent outstrip those descendants of enslaved Africans in the US. This was not the case until quite sometime after the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
the situation is different with indigenous people. cause afro Latinos are completely excluded as if they didn't exist. whereas for indigenous, they try to lump in indigenous things like culture and physical features like skin color, facial features ect. as part of a single "latin" culture that "came from spain" according to them. like how at the beginning of this video when you showed JLO as a example of a "white latina" because of her skin color and facial features, not noticing that any indigenous person can be the same skin complexion and have the same facial features as JLO. So they ignore the presence of black latinos, and with indigenous people, they try to culturally appropriate indigenous things. well I am here to tell you that europeans didnt bring light skin and straight hair and keen facial features to america, our native ancestors already had those physical traits.
True, those things were already in the Americas. Strange, But I have never heard any Latino saying otherwise. Also, in Latin America Jaylo is not viewed as white.Instead she might be viewed as Mestiza or Triguena and never used as an example of a white Latina. Actually, her facial features clearly indicate a non-European ancestry.
@@radrook7584 well I would say more she is indigenous passing cause she has been in demand to play Mexican roles in many movies like in Selena and the movie "my family" where she plays a Mexican mom. And us Mexicans usually look indigenous. If they were to make a film abt colonization and jlo was in it, she wouldn't quite fit into the colonizers white spaniard wife role. And she wouldn't fit into the black african slave role either. She would fit into a more Pocahontas, daughter of the tribal chief role.
@@radrook7584 Jlo has had at least 3 surgeries, on her nose, cheeks, and jawline. She's had her brows lifted as well. Most Latina winners of beauty pageants have had rhinoplasty surgery, as many stars of Latin cinema.
Native Americans are Caucasian peoples, coming from Siberia.
Why is Jamaica highlighted at 1:00 ... and it isn't hispanic??? 👀
I understood it is Hispanic since it was colonized by Spain many years ago
We're proud of our latinidad, it doesn't if we look black, white, Amerindian, arab etc etc, we embrace latinidad. Our customs is based on Spanish/ Southern European with African and Amerindian influences and admixture, not Anglo Saxon. We will not change it for anybody else, it's our identify. This video is offensive to me because these Americans are trying to divide us and destroy our culture and identity just like they did to themselves
Shes half african american
Shes is an infiltrator cant even speak Spanish
@@mr.parkens7459 I'm not surprised......she got her colorism side from her papi lol
@@ericktwelve11 yup
That woman is a fake, she talks about Latin America without being Latin, our culture is different from Yankee, we are brothers, we don't discriminate against anyone, that's why there is no BLM in Latin America
Latinidad is not linked the cultures of Latin America but the Latin word and that includes Latin Europe!!!
Here in Brazil we had a fascist and eugenist movimment supported by the government on the 30's (AIB - Ação Integralista Brasileira).
Based on a eugenist pseudoscience, saying black and natives were from an inferior race and to save the country they need to make bigger the white population.
That's why they asked for white european immigrants come to Brasil.
On the world war 2, we had an immigration of retired nazis and other germans and Italians scaping from the war.
On a diferent situation of that others immigrants.
But much before that, in 1818, when Brasil was an empire, we received deserters from the south of USA, confederates.
The brazilian's government gave lands and money to them, to they be stabilized here.
That's because the brazilian's crowd was into masonry, like those deserters soldiers.
Yeah, we have a huge native and black population, but as colony we were destroyed by racists governments.
As a Colombian, of course there are racist people everywhere, but I can say racism in my country is way less institutional and violent than in the USA, the police here is very corrupt and yet I have never seen a single case of a cop commiting a racist hate crime in my country, and also people here are less obsessed with race in general, blacks here identify as blacks, but not with the same level of obsession blacks in the USA do, latinos are okay with NOT being special and don't have this weird obsession for believing they are special or standing out that Americans have.
Don't get me wrong, there are problems with racism in my country such as job opportunities and prejudice, but it's not as blatantly hateful and violent as the cases you can see in the USA with racist cops for example, and classism is a bigger problem than racism here, people who come from poor regions of the country could be discriminated if they go to the capital, regardless of their skin color.
It's cicologically and emotionally. It's does not mean lesser than the Black America. Comparing does not help, bcs the racist started differently in all countries.
Like in Africa racist is not the same as America, in Europe and in Brazil. Everywhere is different and the all have different results to it.
So plz don't compare
I'm Cuban; I'm Cuban and nothing else.
Cuban isn't a race.
@@GDino33 Most hispanics don't identify by race, just by what country they're from.
Am white Mexican
tell TRUMP that !
Tiene cojones que los gringos traigan todos sus prejuicios y clasificaciones al mundo latino para decirnos cómo tenemos que comportarnos para arreglar nuestros problemas.
Que existe racismo y discriminación en América Latina ? ... es cierto, nadie sensato puede negarlo. Pero tampoco nadie puede negar que existe una convivencia y mezcla racial muy superior a la que tuvo jamás USA. A tal punto que un latino puede tener cualquier tono de color de piel y se reconoce como tal.
Dejen que arreglemos nuestros asuntos a nuestro modo ... y la señora garífuna podría haber explicado cómo y porqué llegaron sus antepasados a las costas de Belice, Honduras o Nicaragua y de quién huían, y dónde consiguieron establecerse formando una comunidad.
Tiene cojones que vengan dando lecciones estos del norte ...
Latinos and Hispanic ain’t a race. All we ever see is White Latinas and Hispanics. A lot of trends Latinos partake in such as laying their edges came from black Americans which include the Black LatinX and Hispanics.
Loved this video. Definitely subscribing.
That's not correct because if you call a Spaniard a Hispanic they will lose their mind they will tell you quick they are not Hispanic they are Spaniard they do not consider Hispanics Spaniards they may have Spaniard blood in them but they are not on the same level
I dislike the term Hispanic, it was invented in the '70s in the U.S. we know who we are, Hispanic just grouped many of us together. Latino is better imo. If you're from Spain, your Spanish!
"they may have Spaniard blood" who? the 1,2% of the population? argentinians, chileans or uruguanyans with spanish grand parents from the 50s inmigration? If they have indigenous or black phenotype, the looks, they have nothing spaniard in them. I can assure you. No more than a black american with 5% of european DNA. Is that clear?
So you speak from experience? Spain has over 40 million plus people. You are saying they all think the same? Even if they did nobody gives a damn. Stop worrying about Hispanics and worry about your people
@@YUCAYEQUE usais lo de "latinos" como raza cuando os interesa y os conviene para vuestra narrativa. Cuando hay un inmigrante mexicano o hondureño con cara de Evo Morales, entonces es "latino" para todos vosotros.
@@tonymontana9754 Many Latin Americans especially Puerto Ricans, Argentinians, Uruguayans, and Chileans have over 50 percent Spanish ancestry. I for example have 60 something percent Spanish ancestry and over 75 percent European ancestry overall. I don’t look mixed either so don’t even think about it.
Wow your post is great 👍 I will be watching for more from you
