  • Just how African or "Black" is your average Latin American? Today let's discuss how the African slaves and immigrants since have radically impacted pretty much all of America's Southern neighbors in Latin America and the Caribbean.
    Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the Afro-Latino community. Thanks for watching!
    Sorry it's been taking so long to upload videos guys, but I can't thank you all enough for coming out of the woodworks with your support.

    Latin America was actually more heavily impacted by the Trans-Atlantic slave trade than even the U.S.
    *edit:* especially if you count Brazil, though calling Brazilians "Latinos" is very controversial

      And I didn’t coin the term sub-Saharan and I also am not segregating “races” just stating facts that most of the people brought to the Americas during the slave trade are from a certain region and the people of Salvador tend to really embrace their culture more than other places I’ve visited.

      A big problem is that the world overall follows the US in trends and many things science are connected to our everyday lives and pop culture. The US (and Australia, UK) sets the great majority of world trends. Many people bash and point the finger at the US yet, they love this country. They love it's celebrities so much that many listen to what they have to say AS IF these celebrities were actually unselfishly smart. It's "America" that is the cause of the ignorance you mention: It is Latin America itself. They are not united. There is hatred in every country and towards neighboring countries. There is hatred among most various ethnicities of such whatever Latino-Americans (here in the US). While such hatreds and dislikes of fellow nationalities and races and ethnicities without fail exists all over the world, the Latino population in the US is the third largest here yet, they fight among themselves and therefore are kept from reaching obvious prosperity. Most "Caribbean" Latinos are respected here, and most who are black and white Latino's, but it is the Mexican, most Central Americans, and the Native-American-Mix Latinos who are targeted with mass hate (racism) here in the US. It is the voiceless Latino community that allows "America" to be "soo ignorant." Look at music. While there are many, many Spanish names in this industry, hardly any Spanish name ever makes it BIG. Pitbull (while in name is English everyone automatically knew he was Latino) had some big hits in the past but he needed black and white features in his songs (even so no one hated him here). Christina Aguilera. She was a big success, but I guarantee you had she come out today she would Not have been a third as big. Gloria Estefan. Carlos Santana. Who else? Ricky Martin? Shakira? Enrique Iglesias? Jlo? They had a couple hits and it took place during the height of the worlds Salsa music explosion which without it I doubt they would have had half the fame they now have or had. Its seems Santana, Xtina and Pitbull had the longest run yet they were nowhere near king or queen status. Selena Gomez? She has had success, and the media has taken notice of the mass "hate"(bigotry) she selectively receives and so she has been embraced by some Big named business (Coach, Pantene, Puma namely). Without their help or genuine liking of her, she would be successful but not as much. The racist masses have Selected Her, Selena, as the scapegoat for racists, and I mean racism comes from ALL races and ethnicities, not just from whites. East Asians are the only ones I have not come across by mass numbers as racists towards Selena. Racists come up with many and any excuse to hate on Selena: The Mexican--that is what they see about her. But is the Un-unity of the overall American Latino that keeps Selena, and other Latinos who want to reach the stars, from becoming a huge name in the world and respected. It is The Mexican, Central American (overall), and the Native-American-Mix (all of none "Caribbean" background) who are the real targets of racism in the USA, Australia and the UK, and from there is spreads world wide. These Latinos, most, don't support Selena's, Becky G's music, they don't support Spanish actors' movies, and so the Spanish name overall will keep being a thing to dismiss and ignore and no one will care what the Spanish name has to say. Latinos are not a race, but it should be.

      Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

    Dominican here, I can tell that for the most part you are right, but "negro" (black) is not only used for people of haitian origin, I could say it´s barely used at all. When we talk about "white" "indio" "mulato" "black" (we usually use prieto or moreno instead), we are usually talking about the actual color of the skin, not the racial background of a person, and it´s a very fluid thing. I myself have been called blanco (white), indio (indian), morenito (brown skin), moreno, and many others.

    Once again you've presented the general public with a very educational and in-depth video. North-Americans and Europeans tend to consider "Latin Americans" as a racial/ethnic group. That simply doesn't exist. What exists it's a cultural background based in cultural features derived from the Iberian colonial powers, just that. By that standard, Québec should be considered part of the "Latino" world. Even the use of the term "Latino", presented in both portuguese and spanish languages, indicates this will of trying to transform a cultural background into a racial/ethnic denomination. To me this is extremely bothering, cause it seems that others tend to see us here as opposed to an idea of an "American" world. I mean: those born in the United States, with no Iberian surnames and no phenotypic characteristics that can be understood and read as "latin" (wherever that could be), will be considered white, and, therefore, "normal" according to the standards and aesthetic values of those with political and communicational power.

Latin America has a lot of diversity, and I just saw all Americans as 'Americans' when I was little and from the moment I heard of the 'white Americans', 'black americans' and 'latin-americans (which is white, black and everything else and in between) it didn't make sense to me.

      Well, in my case, I only assumed he was black *after* seeing his face. But I’d sort of agree with you I guess, because I’ve begun to think of the RD in a more generalized way (blacks / mixed people) than before I knew anything of it..
      Still, I’m just saying that I met a Dominican guy who had a majority of “black” or African in him (like facial features) apart from his skin *tone* , which is pretty fair. My viewpoint, like others, see that the background with features a person exhibits the strongest dominate over other ones they possess, and from them is what they would belong to and look like. So because of this, I was sort of confused as to why he kept denying _at least half_ of what he is. But he just kept appealing to his culture/nationality rather than.. well...race I guess.
      I’m not sure how I should feel about it though.

      elbasu libra well no, I agree with you on that part Dominicans who don’t see their blackness, me being American whose mom is a spanish dominican and dad is Peruvian, when I went to the Dominican Republic a family friend who was light skinned but obvious black facial feature they would call him blanco and I told my cousin he’s not white don’t you see his face, you see my point, it’s their culture, but when you have African Americans generalizing like that I feel less Dominican, because I’m not black, my mothers parents are spanish expats from

      Yea there’s definitely a stigma here where any and sometimes some black in you makes you basically all black and no real consideration of other stuff you have within you.(a debate with the guy I mentioned helped me realize this.)Also, My uncle mentioned how if a black person and a white person have a baby then the baby is *black* (irregardless of their features or skin tone) which I find quite ridiculous but eh. Apart from this I find it hard to view other people in terms of their races/ethnicities, because at times people can be “black” yet full of other stuff. It’s more or so the things harder to put a finger on. But I think culture has to do with it as well, as most “light skins”are also are part of things black, raised similarly, live around/ the same environments, etc. so it’s easier to consider them as such..
      I wonder, if a baby born from a white mom and a black dad came out with physical features majority from mom-like skin tone yet some from her dad-like her nose-would she be considered white?

    One of the many corrections I could make to this video:In Colombia, for instance, the reason why there’s no much black representation in the media has more to do with racism and colorism rather than location as you pointed out. In fact that’s the case in most Latin countries. We are also taught to hate our blackness and worship all things European. Also take into consideration how oppressed as a people Afrolatinos are. We are oppressed to the point of not even have had an actual civil rights movement.

    I was glad to hear your comment that we Black Latinos are more of a cultural group rather than a racial one. Discrimination in all Latin America is more based on class structures and education rather than race. In comparison, I always remember what Malcom X said in a debate with a Black professor which basically said that no matter if you are a Phd, to a white supremacist in the the USA you are still the "N΅ word. We blacks in Latin America also had two other factors: the Church declared African "human" in the the 17th century and thus came under its protection with the black family becoming sacred and remaining intact. The second was that slavery under the Spanish and Portuguese was based on the ancient Roman system in which Slavery was an accident and anyone could be it victim. Under this system you could always buy your way out of being owned by another human. Whites, Brown people, Asians, and Blacks were always part of the slave populations in Latin America. In the USA black became synonymous with slave. It was like having a Star of David on your clothes during the Nazi era except it was the color of your skin.
    The influence of black culture especially its musical traditions and dance are part of rock, jazz, salsa, and all types of music throughout most of the world. You can say most of the world is has now become black via culture. I am 14% sub-saharan african (which under Jim Crow laws would put me in the back of the bus) but my paternal hapolog is J-P58 which witnessed the founding of agriculture and civilization. My ancestors probably painted the caves of Altamira in Spain and Lascaux in France. And this 30k years before the white race genetically existed which only sprang up 9 thousand years ago as these humans went north. Blacks in the West were always the dominant group and all people derived from us.

    I recently watched Beyoncé‘s film “Black is King”, it was an artist expression and celebration of the global black experience, tying it back to Africa, through the lens of ‘The Lion King’ story. However, I was shocked by the films omission of the strong diasporic ties between Africa and Latin America. Shocked but not surprised, it’s often a blind spot, but the film missed a big opportunity to put it centre stage, since most Africans outside of the continent are in Central and South America.

      Spiritual women dressed in all white gowns/headresses during the first scene, the Nile/Denial/funeral scene & My Power to represent the synchronicity of Yoruba Orisha worship garb in Cuban Santeria, Brazilian condomble Bahianas, Haitian mambo priestesses and New Orleans traditional Creole Funeral practices
      The Agogô instrument or iron cowbells rhythm of the track: Ja Ara E by Burna Boy resembling the Latin clave beat or Hambone and the club nightlife
      Water music scene: Traditional Cuban danza folklorico in the pink orisha dress & Samba dance and footwork at the end in the Bahiana/Axé style technique, Tofo tofo dancers from Mozambique the most Latin/Portuguese country in East Africa, similar champeta footwork from Afro-Colombian culture
      The entire Christian & Orisha theme of the film is the greatest homage felt to unite the Afro-Latin experience to augment her collaborations with Shakira and performances in Brazil and visit to Cuba.

    Yes, thank you! I am Puerto Rican and I am proud to say I’m mixed with black, white, and native. In the US, people would probably say that my dad is a light-skinned black man and my mom a regular ol’ Latina. But we’re all just one big racial soup, and as such everyone in my family looks different. Some are pale and blonde, some are very dark skinned with straight hair, some look black, some are medium-skinned with big curls, some are whiter than a ghost with afros! In PR we tend not to put people into racial categories, but if we label people it’s by skin color. My mom and brother would be blancos, my dad and I prietos, and my sister morena. My sister is very dark skinned with straight jet black hair and her oldest two kids are very white with curls and her little one is medium-skinned like me.

    I am light complected, curvy, Mexican American who for years people have asked me what my ethnicity is as by my looks it's very ambiguous. Of course I knew my great grandparents had Spanish blood as they had green eyes and said for years they were Meztizos. All of my grandparents were born in Mexico and I am 3rd Generation Mexican American. I am proud to say after many years of saying that I knew Mexicans have African blood and I knew I had some type of Asian in me bc of my eyes all of my assumptions were true! I recently got my DNA test and I have 8 ethnicities. Central American, Native American, Iberian, Finland, Nigeria, W. African, Eskimo Inuit, and Middle Eastern. What are the odds of having all those beautiful ethnicities in me?! 💝 I am proud of ALL of My ethnicities!! That's how God chose to make me and I love myself! I wish people would stop looking at people's color and just accept people by who they really are. Be proud of your history, of where you come from, different cultures, and languages are beautiful. I love learning about my history, thus why I am here! If I know of my past I will be able to leave this great history to my grandkids and generations to come. Like my 92 year old grandma always says, "Recordar Es Vivir". " To remember is to live!" There is too much hate in this world! How about some love for some change, but it all starts with us accepting ourselves how we are! We are mixed and it's okay! I like to call myself Mixican bc of all of my blends.

      I have met plenty of people who only identified themselves as Mexican "Mestizo" or mostly European and a little bit of Indigenous American... and with curly a** hair and/or a big bubble booty and/or full lips and/or a broad nose... so on and so forth... will breeze over possibly have Black in them just because of certain recessive genes like pale skin, light eyes or very straight dark hair... which not all Mexicans have...
      It is 2019. Instead of arguing with a stranger on the internet... instead of defending yet another racial bigot who is so pissed off at the idea that there are Mexicans finding out that they have African blood (even though, anyone who has studied world history, especially in regards to the Americas would never be that surprised or angered by some of these results)... I say take an autosomal DNA test... along with a mitochondrial test if you are a woman and a Y-Chromosome test if you are a man... make it a family activity between you, your siblings and parents and then argue the whole "most of us don't have black in us"... ONLY when you've found out for sure.
      No need to debate with me, or convince me of anything when the technology is out there to confirm (or disprove) whatever you were raised to believe. But there are a lot of you in denial lol. But ok... BET.
      In closing... not all of you have Black in you... but a lot of you do and do not know it... and I know this by just looking at many of you. I'm from Southern Cali and have known plenty of Mexicans and others from Central America. And I've seen plenty dominant African physical features that for sure did not come from a pure European ancestor or Indigenous ancestor... but to each his/her own.

Lmbo. Whatever makes you feel better.
      Thank you for proving my point.
      Now if you re-read my previous comment... I make the point that many Mexicans have Black in them and do not know it... I never went into "how much". You know why? I know better to assume the definitive without tangible proof. I simply stated that by observation... I can see a mixture that goes beyond European and Indigenous.

For example, I have a friend that's from Houston. But I suppose he would tell you that he's "Mexican", even though his family has been in (what is presently called) Texas since before Texas was even a state / country / etc. Not 1st, 2nd 3rd generation Mexican Americans. the ones who never "migrated" but who just had the border changed on them.
