Black Latina Univision Report confronts KKK leader

[Perfectson]

That was a just a professional response. Some of y'all man...

you black colombian or the Asian guy in her picture? Geez man

 

[Bawon Samedi]

that wasn't her agenda but something implicitly in their heads whenever race comes up - they can't help but differentiate themselves from Black (African and Black Americans) and Latinos and very rarely do they call themselves Black Latinas, maybe at most negras which has very large color spectrum in latin america.

The bolded is VERY true and spoke to some Dominicans online who claimed they were Afro-Latino but for the life of them could NOT separate "Black" from African-American/ethnicity. Its like they KNOW they are Afro-Latino but once the term "Black" comes into play they have a brain fart.

Finds out real quick, she's black

Uh she states she's black.... and didn't deny her blackness one bit...

Am I missing something? The woman clearly said she was a black immigrant.

thanks, if you haven't encountered it, it's hard to wrap your head around - so I understand why people are getting all tight about it. I see it from a different angle because I know how alot of these latins think and behave.

I would never go to a white person and tell them I'm Nigerian, I'm black and if they ask me from where i tell them. Especially a fukkin KKK person

You would never go to a white person that can tell you're visibly black and tell them that you're black? Well duh!

I seriously think some of y'all are on drugs.

saying "my skin color doesn't define me" = rejecting blackness. what the hell was she supposed to say? "yes, i am a ******"?

 

[Bawon Samedi]

Black Latinos are not AA and never will be... You really expected this chick to say she just black?

She accurately describe who she is and what her origins by saying a black person immigrant. Nikkas really need to stop looking for some sort of acceptance from these black latinos. At the end of the day these latinos might be black but they are still "Latino" and will represent that just like any other group of blacks in the diaspora...

Here is the confusion being displayed. @Perfectson @Poitier @Akan

i literally have never heard the term "black immigrant" used....

she made sure to properly categorize herself though.

Breh. I think some of these people are mentally disturbed.

I'm outta here.

so being a professional means you can't be yourself?

She back peddled. plain and simple.

She wouldn't be less of a professional if she stood on what she originally label herself as.

BLACK.

Watch the second clip. Pay attention to her face twitch when she says the word 'black'. Pay attention the the small grin in the upper left corner of the KKK spokesperson's mouth when he mentions her claiming to be Cuban.

Give the feminine melodrama a rest, breh. This is not the Salon.

 

[Hoodoo Child]

How is she denying being black by saying she's Colombian?

She put her Nationality first before her racial heritage.

Skin color doesn't define anybody. People that make that type of statement seem to be implying being Black (which is shorthand for African) is a negative thing.
