How do y'all feel about Afro Latinos

[beanz]

That's because you are probably somewhere in the northeast, where a lot of the people are from foreign land or their people are. Plus, they don't have that type of patriotic way of thinking due to the history of the black power movement being strong there, and they have certain ideologies about blacks, and America, hence your Malcom X reference, but go to the south, and you WILL see an American flag waving from a black house. I seen all the time.

yea im in new york city up in harlem. i have yet to see a black person repping the USA. its news to me that they rep it down south i gotta admit. i never expected that. if anything i thought it would be repped even less down there but u learn something new everyday.

Don't get me wrong now, blacks aren't waving flags on every home in the south, but they rep America as their home strong. Remember a lot of them have been in the service, and believe in it strongly. There whole family have been here, celebrate 4th of july waving that flag, and know no other cultures, so they feel very strong about being American.

In the north, there are more black americans dealing with other cultures, learn more about history, at least back in the day, and have a strong connection to Africa, and hate for White America based on learning how things went down. Remember it is normal for us to walk down 125th st., and see brothers debating about blacks, and racism. That is unheard of in the south, or the majority of America, unless you run into hebrew Israelites, and that is rare, so all they know is America. Yeah, we have a fukked up history here, but it is still home.

They're Latin I've worked with Mexicans before, and some of them were cool, and some were just pendejos. I suspect it was because I was black that some of them didn't like me. After all, this is a Mexican stamp, and hes also a comic book character

Piri Thomas wrote Down These Mean Streets. His life and experiences parallel those of Malcolm X. But in Thomas case, his family looked down on him because he was dark skinned. He wrote about the color complexes within the Puerto Rican community.

I read a Source article about Noreaga years ago where he talked about his first time being in prison, a Borica called his name out, which was Victor Santiago. Noreaga answered, and the Borica didn't believe he was Latin, due to him being dark skin. I read another Source article years ago about PR Rock, hes the light skin dude wearing the PR flag bandana around his head in the video below near the end and throughout,

but he said he used to listen to rap when he was younger, and his older brother said why you listening to that monkey music
In summation, I think a apt sports metaphor would be while they play in the same league as us, they're in a different conference

I identify as African-American because my history is here in America but it didn't begin here. My heritage is in Africa. as far as whites, you have Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, and some others. And yes some simply identify as American, but that is bullshyt. The only true people of this land are the Native Americans and they have their own names that they use to identify. Everyone else comes from somewhere else, Black, Brown or white, this is not our land.



nah, Americans are not indigenous at all, Native Americans are indigenous, everyone else is a foreigner, include white Americans.

naw Americas are our homeland...no wonder we still lost

Check this video out with Paul Mooney talking a little about this. He's funny as a muh. He basically described the stuff @King P said that his mother does, by calling African-Americans black, and other blacks by their country instead just calling them black, but she doesn't believe black is a race. It's a subtle putdown:
