Is Carmelo Anthony Acknowledging His Puerto Rican Roots Disrespectful To His American Mom?

[Ozymandeas]

He has always talked that PR stuff though for damn near 20 years.

Matter of fact he said he went there as a child, but his first visit he really remembered was in 02

Melo dishes on his Puerto Rican heritage

On Tuesday, the NBA announced its annual Noches Latinas, which pay tribute to Latin heritage. The New York Knicks will wear "Nueva York" jerseys during their March 12 game at Chicago and on March 14 at home vs.

I get you. I was just saying I wasn’t expecting to see a family photo of dark chocolate black people.

Imagine being a grown man, caring about some shyt like this.

It’s pathetic.

That's irrelevant. Carmelo's family was black. You just talking and don't even know what picture I was referencing.

It was Carmelo, his mom, and like 3 other siblings/kids. They were ALL BLACK.

It's funny hearing him talk that PR stuff, and his family looked like that.

No i know the exact picture you’re talking about tf. shyt was posted itt and all over Twitter. Let’s use some common sense here

Again I know a Dominican family that looks exactly like melo’s because I rent to them. Do you think looking “black” stops outside the US? Again there are actual black Latinos or do you think black ppl don’t exist outside the US or do you think all Latinos look mixed race?

how is it mixed race if all my people's are of African decent. And both sides of my family are descendants of slaves. One in the sugar fields the other in the cotton Fields.

Again you’re verbiage of the phrase is throwing ppl “Black and Dominican” does not sound the same as “Black Dominican” which is what I think you’re trying to imply

I actually been all over the continent of America except for the Guyana's and there is a bunch of black people which is why I think Diaspora wars threads are stupid.
And when I say I'm black and Dominican I meant it. Because I'm both "african American" and "afro Caribbean"

I got no issue with him repping his PR side. I think what throws people off is it appears he didn’t really start repping until he got to NY.

You are responding to the wrong message. That wasn’t the response I meant for you. It was the very last paragraph but you just answered the question

PRs live all up and down the east coast. What if he has family right here? Flights to PR are dirt cheap, how do you know he wasn't there all the time? If he's giving props it must have some impact on his life.

From “deport Puerto Ricans” to “how do you know he wasn’t there all the time”

Do you really want to die on this mothafukkin hypocritical hill?

Fail to get the joke brehs. But honestly with the environment on this board I can understand how you thought I was serious.
