I'm in Puerto Rico right now in a place called Loiza. It's mostly "black". It tripped me out that damn near 80% of Puerto Ricans identify as white. nikkas blacker than me identify as white and that's true for most of Latin America.
There is no black - brown alliance. It's a tool used by Latinos and misguided black Americans to displace black Americans by playing on black American insecurity.
Black Americans are not respected politically by any group because we y'all just let any body into our circle.
Black Americans should not trust Latinos and assume that, even though there are some overlap in our experiences in America, that their agenda is the same as ours. They immigrated from an antiblack culture to another antiblack culture. WTF do you expect from them?
Puerto Ricans and Dominicans are the most treacherous of the latino "allies" because they play both side of the fence more than any other latino group. Black Americans allow them into the fold and allow these white identifying Puerto Ricans and Dominicans to call them nikka. WTF kinda shyt is that?
Black Americans are too naive and accepting which is why they continue to get played by everyone including some black immigrants too.
Visit these latin american counties and see this shyt for yourself.
Part of the con is that the rest of the "colored" world is using a different definition of race than the definition that black Americans use. You can't play the same game with different rules.
Those Ricans in Loiza don’t identify as white like that. They still do African traditions there and Tego Calderon was pro black. Loiza identifies as 65% black.
Puerto Rico as a whole is white as fukk a lot of Irish, Italian, Spanish descendants when you read the history. I done went to school with ghetto ass Ricans with white ass skin and light eyes and hair and shyt.
Black Ricans like Tego, Clemente, Schomburg are the minority just like black folks in America
That “Latino” shyt is a myth it’s not a united front it’s a wildly different group in ethnicities, races, issues, beliefs
