Shutting Down Reverse Racism

- Hola mi gente, soy Gadiel Del Orbe, from BuzzFeed's Pero Like I want to New York University. I was invited to speak in a panel for their 12th National Dominican Student Conference. I was quickly interrupted by Armando Guareno claiming reverse racism.
And this, among a myriad of other reasons, is why I will support Gadiel in all his endeavors. A fellow Afro-Latino who is LOUD and PROUD to be Black. Tan orgulloso de este tipo! Keep shining and speaking that truth bruh!
BeyondTheComfortZone 💪🏽✊🏽
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 As a Puerto Rican growing up in Spanish Harlem i felt every word you said!! You rep the Latin community well my brother!!!! #RESPECT
To say that you feel discriminated as a European in DR is mind boggling. The only reason the topic of "blackness" is brought up so much in the panel 8s because Dominicans don't like to acknowledge their blackness, despite being 80% African. It's this generation that's putting a stamp on being Afro Latino. To say I'm European Hispanic and not represented is ludacris because that's is the only thing that is represented.
adaizzymak this guy took an ancestry test and he only came up with 33% african blood. He's predominantly European and he's on this video calling himself black. ruclips.net/video/LCc1N52zSLg/видео.html
@@deepstate3358 exactly 👍 he's only 33% African, and 58% European and 10% native. his what he has more Latino people called Mullato or Mestizo
I watched the video before and he was 51 % European ??
But yeah I see what u mean he is actually more European then African.
I’m so glad you set him straight. It’s beautiful to see Afro Latinos embrace their beauty and power. I’m from a Veracruz, Mexico and there are people of African descent which I love, and it is painful to see our own discriminating against each other. I recently did an ancestry dna test and was so much happier to see my little 4% of sub Saharan African DNA and my native DNA, than the 52% European DNA, as it is a reminder of the pain our people went through. I don’t understand people who try so hard to distance themselves from the beauty of our heritage, and I pray that people with a platform speaking out will make a positive change in our communities. Gracias hermano ♥️.
“god damn why you look so miserable “ 2:01 lmao
Michelle Rodriguez I died lmao
Gadiel's mom has *resting* "boy don't bother me" face! She was not having it!
I loved his comments about "colorism" it hit home. So many Latino's fail to realize and/or embrace their "blackness".
KENNECTED because we’re not black
We’re more european
Gustavo Rodriguez exactly who are you referring to as "we"??
@@GustavoRodriguez-qr5po We're both.
Actually, being a light skinned Dominican can be hell if you live in a dark community. A lot of envy and anger is directed at your light skin and straight hair.
Vice verse. Dominicans call themselves white until when black people get resources and stuff you change sides
@@jaysbostonemergencyrespons8970 not a single Dominican I have ever met, including my blond haired green eyed half sister, have ever called themselves white. Nor do we want to be white. Y'all really have no idea how much most of us LOVE being latino, hispanic, Dominican. Y'all can knock yourselves out with your crayola colors and one drop rules.
I'm half Puerto Rican and Dominican but i have really pale skin but curly hair. I've been to DR like 3 times and where my mom grew up in Santo Domingo, it's very poor and there's lots of black Dominicans and boy did I feel the eyes on me lol. In the streets, restaurants, supermarkets, public transportation. I didn't feel any jealousy though because lots of Dominicans tend to "worship" los estranjeros which is me being from the US and being half boricua so I got kinda "praised" and it was obvious how differently many of them treated me and the way they treated the darker skin Dominicans. Shit's wild man lol.
This guy is reverse intelligent.
Low key I ship them so hard
Great answer Gadiel! It's great that more Afro-Dominicans such as yourself are speaking out about your black pride. Keep it up! #WakandaForever
khemanig2 wakanda isn't real. No african country is developed.
Lmao the guy that interrupted Gadiel clearly has african ancestry and he's out here "defending" europeans for supposedly being discriminated against in DR. The self hate, yo.
I'm African-American. I tried to wake up a Dominican friend years ago. He just shut down. Sigue en tu camino, Gadiel. !Buen trabajo!
Wether you agree with him or not Gadiel is speaking FACTS!!! Don't stop mi hermano este es sólo el comienzo!! #PlatanoPower
you handled that so well,
so proud to be latino! ✊
andy he's actually a liar and is being paid to promote an agenda. He took an ancestry test and it came out with him being predominantly European. He is only 33% African ruclips.net/video/LCc1N52zSLg/видео.html
I can relate to this so much! My dad is Colombiano and black like Obama and people get so surprised when they hear him speaking fluent Spanish! It's sad that our Afro-Latinos are ashamed of their skin color. Soy mulata and I'm proud of it. This video is a real eye-opener for those who are so close-minded and don't think about how race has evolved and how we are all mixed and we should accept it and be proud.
Actually, Barack Obama is half Caucasian and half Kenyan
As a Nigerian I have never wanted to identify with being European white there really nothing special about them other than there power in society
Does Julissa has a youtube channel? If not Que esta haciendo? We need that from her!
Yaaaaaaassss I mean....Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Awesome! I just subscribed!
I STAND WITH YOU 100% MY BROTHER!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO, YOU'RE A GREAT SPEAKER!!! INTELLIGENT MAN YOU ARE FOR EMBRASSING WHO WE ARE! MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND THE FAM BRO!! I HAVE MAD LOVE FOR OUR DOMINICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS! PEACE
Wow....Gadiel really bout fine as hell 🤤🤤. Plus he's woke, perfection at its peak
John Doe you can’t say that you’ll be called a racist 🤣
So when I was going to a barber shop close to my street were mostly arabs and poc goes, made a appointment and got send away because “we dont cut cheese heads” isn’t racist?
Y-you didn’t shut down reverse racism. It exists🤦♂️ it’s actually just racism and not reverse racism but i will ignore that. Please educate yourself!
finally somebody who understands me
Your comeback was priceless Gadiel! Made me proud of having you and Julissa at my school! Our representation is necessary! Embracing la belleza de ser de raices negra. Gadiel for the win!!!
Gadiel, this was such a proud moment for all Hispanics!!!! Never mind that fool that asked you the question, your words were so on point and you did it so eloquently that i almost shed a tear LOL . i'm a white skinned Puerto Rican that has a rainbow for a family, every shade there is. But I HATE it when people think i'm lucky to look European because I supposedly don't get discriminated against. NOT TRUE but even if that was the case I still make it known we Hispanics have Black in us regardless of our skin color. I love my Hispanic/Latino people, my culture, my heritage, my African ancestry and I think we ALL need to be represented in our communities, we need to speak up, we need to unite, represent and keep our culture alive.
There's so many things I wanna say to this right now... You handled that "reverse racism" crap, really well. Colorism is such a big thing in the latin community and it really gets to me sometimes. Thank you so much for reminding people that we need to embrace our blackness. I love this. Ugh, I'm happy and irritated at the same time.
Bro I truly stumbled across this but then I wanted to watch the video as the title in itself peeked my interest. To hear you speak... It was so sobering, so woke, so honorable!!! Brother you're going places! A lot of people have really lost touch with their roots and almost ashamed to acknowledge their heritage man. It's craaazzzyy. But this was beautiful. Loved how you answered the question and how you pretty much liberated everyone in that room. God bless you. This made my day!
I love everyone who is doing their part to break the cookie cutter stereotype mold. That’s why I how diverse Pero Like is. Hell I want to see a gay Latino in a novela who isn’t a hairdresser.
Let’s embrace our skin color, don’t be afraid to be proud of the many shades Latinos come in.
Love this! Loved meeting you and Julissa at the NYU conference!
Amazing!!!! One of my fav videos on RUclips ever.
the guy who interrupted you, such a pendejo! I like how you addressed his questions and comments in such a polite, and professional manner.
Naomi Barona is this sarcasm?
Estaba esperando un video tuyo
Nana Chan 😊
my husband is so woke bruh
wait...tf is nevel pepperman doing here
@@kimmin-jae2483 he's supporting his husband
I LOVED this video. Thank you Gadiel for this it means so much to Dominicans everywhere.
I love this video so much! I needed to hear this from a fellow Dominican! Platano power all day everyday, baby! You represent us so well!
Wonderful, Gadiel! I love it! So sad that people Latin America, in the U.S., they say and truly believe such foolishness. You handled that well, brotha! I'm Black American, and I almost cried when you talked about the relaxer and the natural hair. I have natural hair after 20 years relaxing, and my family is still probably half and half, some say great and some hate it! It makes me sad that we don't see where that comes from. Power, my people! We must believe Black is beautiful and live it out.
Loved this! We still have a long way to go like you said but at least we have y’all along with others who are speaking up about it
Love pero like and love all these videos.good job Gadiel of this video
I'm so glad that Mr. Del Orbe is addressing this issue. speaking up is the only way to upset the status quo. Thank you.
Gadiel por PRESIDENTE!. ahora, no soy Dominicano, soy Mexicano pero que chulada oir un Latino decir cosas real! #Gadiel4President
Todo lo que dijiste fue profundo. Y cierto. 👏👅🙌🇩🇴
I JUST FOUND OUT GADIEL HAS HIS OWN RUclips CHANNEL AND LITERALLY CAN'T STOP SMILING HE DESERVES THE WHOLE WORLD AAAA
You handled that like a pro bro!
OMG how did I not see this that's my cousin Amanda next to you. I knew she met you and was there but I had no idea you posted this. #PROUD
I freaking loved it , I experience this everyday in LA. I am half Cuban Half Puerto Rican. I either get the "Oh you must have married a hispanic because of your last name" (Lopez) or the "wow you speak spanish so well, where did you learn?" And all these staements always come from the Latinos.
Mi chocolate hermoso💖🔥
Thank you for showing your thoughts.
There's nothing chocolate about him .🤔 He's too pale.
This is amazing! Thank you for all that you stand for and continuing to embrace your AfroLatinoness. Gadiel you’re truly a role model!
This generation of Dominicans are so much fckng WISER!!! I'm proud of you my young Dominicans.
Todo puedo decir es...YESSSS
I love this so much.
Hi, and thank you for sharing.
as a Dominican, I find that you both are wrong. Playing the race card on either side is wrong, but I understand why you did it, i think we should look at people as individuals instead of our identity. I still respect your opinion though. god bless.
Mishelle Alta But wouldn't that be ignoring race and racism?
Bob Kuusela, I don’t look at the world like that, I grew up in a farm mainly supported by females, and I was exposed to many different types of people, and suffering along with that. I became aware of race when I arrived to the US, and found it weird. anyways below video explains how I look at the world.
ruclips.net/video/gR65N6a3x_Y/видео.html
Thanks for sharing. Food for thought.
@Mishelle Alta The original person mentioned race whereas Gadiel focused more on colorism than race. There is a difference.
Wow Mishelle, spoken like somebody with a brain! Great response! Gadiel is truly an idiot. A very lucky (to be in the general ears of this poor, confused new group of young people) idiot. I feel so sorry for the followers.
ohmydays this guy is from buzzfeed
love you guys 😘😘😘 Julissa (chia pet) a gorgeous one by the way
Great video. I didn't really understand my white privilege until I moved to NYC, but it's one of those things that once you know, you can't un-know it. There's no such thing as reverse racism; it's just sounds better to some than to admit they feel threatened by the beauty that is black empowerment.
I would love to find my white privilege can you bring to me? I've been white for years and still can't find it
Felicidades Gadiel sigue así de bello y positivo
I hope Sammy Sosa is watching this
He say ahhhh welll I feel white so I’m trans racial yoouuuuuu seeeeeeee
Sammy Sosa is Haitian descendants if you dont believe me look it up.
It's good that the youth can learn that they're very much black and always have been!! I'm black and speak English and Dominicans are black that speak Spanish. That's it!! European oppression and separation
Couldn't love Gadiel more!
Gadiel the activist!
✊✊ luchar contra el poder!! Ur inspirational bro!!
I like how you blurr people's faces if they don't know you're vlogging (and probably don't want to be on RUclips)👌❣
Have pride in who you are. It’s doesn’t matter what others think.
Well according to wikipedia here are the actual numbers :
72.9% mestizo
16.1% white
10.1% black
0.1% asian
72.9% are actually mixed Europeans and Blacks, you Gadiel are clearly one, your mom looks pretty light skinned to me, I personally don't know if I have african in my blood because both my parents are white, and their parents as well, but the 80% figure is inaccurate, being 50/50 doesn't make you a black, it makes you a mestizo, and in DR only 10.1% is fully black.. the rest is either mestizo or white, and 0.1% Chinese.
Why can't people stop obsessing over their race???
Wow. Very satisfying to watch. 💯👍🏿
Reverse racism? Its just racism mate
He went from 80 to 90% European all in the same breath 😂
Social insecurity causes racism. So you either create social security or
learn to be socially secure or have your mind and actions be ruled by
it. You can even go as far as learning to be socially secure when you
are under social threat. Social security and the seduction of commerce and wealth creates a sense of royalty and disdain.
Bruh his mom is me in the morning lmaoooo
How you handled That “oppressed” guy is great. Now I’m not good at math but he said 80% of his family is European then he said 90% European and 25% African American... where did the 5 or 15% come from?🤔
Gadiel is cool as hell
love how you talk
Is that Brooke Simpson next to Gadiel?
Que lo que 👏
The hilarious part is that Armando Guareno is not even close to "passing for white." He would never be confused for any kind of European, so I sincerely have no f***ing clue how he would even feel discriminated on account of his "European-ness." This Dominican ( I am Dominican, too, by the way) internalized racism is so absurd.
Es chistoso porque nosotros los blancos les decimos a ustedes "gente de color". Pero yo como persona de piel blanca, pues mira, cuando tengo coraje me pongo colorado. Cuando estoy celoso me pongo verde. Y cuando me muera me voy a volver azul. Total que... ustedes son negros. ¿Nosotros? ¡C*** chico, nosotros sí que somos gente de color! Que Dios te bendiga.
Literal straw man to the finest. That is not the definition of Reverse racism, and you were not discussing about reverse racism whatsoever
Is that GreyWorm?
I love you Gadiel you're so funny
Im so glad youre during this... Next step, darker brown.. like me :) People don't know lol
I thought reverse racism was like in the military the white dude in charge would let the minority’s due whatever due to him actually being a racist. I am learning Spanish thank you YOO you all are slow lol MANNY RAMIREZ NAVY
I have Dominican friends they cool no dought but if you think that there are no Dominican roles in novelas don't bellyache stand up and be counted....jump on casting roles. There's plenty of opportunity in this city..💯.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
❤❤❤❤All the love ❤❤❤❤
Bien hecho Gadiel.
uyy si asi es cuando se enoja, suertuda la que lo enamore
So let me be the devils advocate here and ask the question. Granted that yes, the europeans and spaniards specifically are responsible for many inexcusable atrocities, does that fully mean one can't be proud to have ancestry from there? I get where he was going with it, he felt that the dominican panels focused too much on the blackness when there's other parts too. While the 80% of the dominicans are black, theres still that 20 percent that was left to feel marginalized. Hispanics as a whole say we feel underrepresented and left out all the time, how there's very little representation of us in the mainstream media, yet, when he says he feels left out of dominican representation, we flip the script on him. I can almost see where he's coming from.
I honestly can’t
You have a point, but I see it like this (I'm not Dominican, so this is an outsider's view. I'm Ecuadorian). Latinos who look white doesn't need the empowerment. Yes you can say "I don't feel represented" but the thing is that it goes farther than that. You have a lot of media and history that show how proud you should feel of being white. We don't (I have African roots). We have always been told that our color is less and our hair is messy. So, generations need people in the media claiming how it is okay to be black and have curly "messy" hair.
I get your point, but I don't think it's something to feel bad about. You have had a lot of representation during the history of our countries, let us have the empowerment. It's not like we are denying your nationality or whatever :)
Madda Córdova we've had Ricky from I Love Lucy and Marc Anthony. I take it that people might be under the assumption that just because we're light skin hispanics that we can identify with generic white people. Its not the same, it's not the same features, nor culture and no light skin hispanics look at Eminem, nor Seth Rogan, nor Brad Pitt and think, "hey, that guy is just like me." Theres also many latinos who look, for lack of better word, like latinos. Olive skin, dark features, and dont look so black nor white. As latinos, we fall under too wide of a spectrum, and a very miniscule part of that would even resemble what Hollywood has to offer, even our whiter people. Plus, I doubt many people from DR are watching tv thinking "wow, Lil Yachty/50 Cent/Jay-Z (i almost said Drake, but Drake look mad dominican lol) is exactly like me."
Ghostface Chilla okay, but still. You mentioned Marc Anthony, and like him are a lot of other Latinos with lighter skin in the media (Mario Lopez, Shakira, Sofía Vergara, Lin Manuel Miranda, Luis Fonsi, Camila Cabello, Jennifer López, Gael García Bernal, etc). And again, more than representation it's about the message that our heritage is something we should be proud of. I'm proud of being white just as I'm proud of being black, I'm proud of coming from everywhere and still have a nationality and a very specific culture. And that last parts are what have been missing during history. I get that you may feel a little left out, but what I meant with you having media and history is just that. You just have to look around to find people like you, African-Latin American people don't have that due to decades of racial issues. So we need activists to explain how it's okay to be darker. We need it because we have it attached to the back of our brains that being darker is being less than.
Again, I get your point (we are not screaming how proud we are of being part-European) but having in mind our history, it's not necessary. We have to balance the importance we give to our heritage. Also if you are Latino, you may have black or at least some indigenous heritage, the fact that you don't look like them doesn't mean that you are not a part of them as well (imo, that's the beauty of our people's hues).
You cannot be serious! When you look at Univision, at Telemundo, at People en Español, at Music videos , and almost every other form of Latino medio 95% of the faces presented are people of predominantly European descent. What films or television shows feature Latinos of African , Indigenous, or Asian ancestry? Name one! Univision and Telemundo have show hosts who are from Spain. Telemundo does not have even one host ‘con piel canela o más oscura’ on any of their shows.
Well done brother ABE Navy CVN 75 jersey boy I don’t see color only individuals homie God bless do u
lol Ocasio Cortez in the cut
narcissism at its finest
90 +25 = 115😂
Nice
Bello te quiero muchoo i love you😘😍
Me parece que a Gadiel le falta mucha cultura y educación , es impresionante como los medios le dan voz a personas tan ignorantes como el.
FACTS.
Is it not your human duty to be compassionate towards those who feel discriminated, and help them find their power, as you have, whether you think they are discriminated against or not?
*Edit: spelling
te amooooo
Your mom is pretty. She looks like she could be your sister. Honestly.
Colonizers feeling discriminated l...smh
I kind of feel like you just proved his point. There is discrimination against African-Americans, but that doesn’t mean that the Europeans can’t discriminated against as well.
💯💯💯
IQ = 85
Yessss👏👏👏👏
bien ditcho papa😘🤗😇
