Bump

this is our fault. we got too comfortable with them and let these people leech off us.

now they're on a mission to replace our existence

They already succeeded.

The only thing black people can do now is damage control. And it will only benefit the richest black social classes

nikkahs talk all of that shyt about them all day but Tariq, Jason Black, Boyce are the only few thats checking these people about this bullshyt.

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

[DrexlersFade]

The lady who was hosting corrected him at the end, and said that AAs also fought in every American War.

The thing about his comments are....if you include the Africans who were brought to Spanish speaking territories, people from all the Original Nations in the Americas, and the Spaniards, that's a LOT of people and descendants. A lot of accomplishments to list, I guess.

If somebody wanted to comb through and verify what he said, he'd be wrong on maybe 2-3 things. That won't happen, though.

Hispanics have as much connection to North America as Greeks have to Scotland. I wish y’all take a history course. Hundreds of years ago the dominant region was Central America. That was their Rome. You had the Mayans, Toltecs, Aztecs, all in that Central American region. They barely ventured into most of North America (though admittedly some CA tribes came up to Arizona, California and New Mexico). But the Deep South, Midwest, Mountain West, East Coast? It was all a cultural backwater to them. They barely interacted with the tribes in these places. A Lenape Indian had no clue what a Mayan was nor did they care. Acting like these people were all the same is dead ass like saying Sean Connery is the same as Al Pacino.

Built off the false pretense that “Latino” is an actual ethnicity in the first place.

Dude thinks he is slick. He is mixing in the indigenous peoples and the Spaniards and their descendents who would later rule Latin America. Counting indigenous people as Latino or Latin X.

Literally claiming "both sides".

I bet most of those people he mentioned didn't identify as "hispanic" or Latino.

Is the whole latinx thing also a thing to Latino countries? Like I'm assuming they're still saying shyt like hermano vs hermana instead of hermanx. Maybe that's a dumb question.
