  • 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.

If you knew that, then you would think before speaking. My family and I have a mix of West African, indigenous American and Spanish blood. If only YOU knew the truth that this is real. Stay woke to the truth ✊🏾✊🏾 don’t judge others if you don’t know yourself

Hispanics could do the same thing but the Liberal party gives them free hand outs so they decided to allow themselves to side with the blacks willingly.

      Dude. At least 18% of DR population consider themselves white in the last census out of those 10 "i believe" are 100% whites. Just like 11% consider themselves 100% black.
      Off course theres dominicans who consider themselves as white. My grandmother for example was the only of 4 siblings to be born in the DR. They came from Spain scaping the war. She's 100% white. Just like my great grandmother couldn't even speak spanish straight she was African or at least an 2 generation daughter of slaves.

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.

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.

As an afro-brazilian, I may look more stereotypically brazilian than my white friend that was overwhelmingly asked about his nationality when in Europe because he was suposedly "to white to be brazilian". I really appreciate your willingness to show people how important these cultural interactions are for the modern world make up. I'm sorry for my broken english btw.

As well as the Garifuna people of Roatan Island off the coast of Honduras in the Gulf of Mexico. They are a maroon colony of Africans with some Tariano mix who came to Roatan Island approx 400 years ago, from St. Kitts. They are not descended from the maroons of nearby Jamaica. Believed to have been Africans that escaped from a wrecked slave ship who hid in the bush and mountains of St Kitts and also mixed with the Tariano Indians on the island.

      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.

      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?

      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.

    People, let's get something straight. The "Latin" in Latin America is NOT referring to race but to language. Indeed Spanish and Portuguese are nothing more than glorified dialects of the Latin language. Also, the religion of the vast majority of the region's people is STILL the state religion of the late Roman Empire. These are not tenuous links to an alleged Latin past but realities.

      @@cmatin01 you're contradicting yourself in your very statement. How can your own roots have "robbed and enslaved" you? You may choose to limit the interactions of my genetic pool to one of shear violence and exploitation but I see it simply as the human story being played out. The Spanish don't spend time thinking about Roman colonialism. Yet the Romans removed more silver from Spanish mines than the Spaniards would later mine in the New World. Neither do the French dwell too much on the Roman conquest. Yet Ceasar might've killed a million of their Celtic ancestors. A broad perspective is needed to put things into their place properly. One that most lack, unfortunately.
