Not sure what this photo proves?

Someone could take a picture in 1900 with a group of black people and say "Americans in the year 1900" without discussing the demographics of the place in that year.

They don't look nearly as jaded as most other Blacks from that era. They must have been well off. In fact, minus the clothing, they'd fit right in with modern society.

Why are these discussions always so binary? Panama and Puerto Rico are both multi ethnic countries with people of varying ethnicities and ancestries.

So we couldve already been here is what your saying?#WeWereAlreadyHere

You’re expecting shades of gray on an extremely bipolar and polarized forum where we all pretend the world fits into neatly defined categories.

Me no reasonable papi.

From my experience, Puerto Ricans and Panamanians embrace more of their African heritage than Dominicans or other Hispanics

Grew up with quite a few and they all looked like me too

There's still Black people in Puerto Rico. The demographics didn't change in 124 years

Why are we so pressed for Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, etc. to acknowledge they're black or whatever?

The level of self awareness needed to answer that question truthfully won’t be found or admitted to here.

What do we gain when any of them acknowledge it, is the next question.

its dark ricans and light ricans

If you grew up around them you already know the deal some
of them have more Taíno blood and some have more african

and then you have the ones that are basically white or white passing like j-lo

Why are y'all hellbent on making these beige greaseballs Black? I'm not talking about the people in the photo, or Afro-Latinos, but the triguenos who aren't as Black as you or I

 

[Illuminatos]

Who didn’t know there were Black Puerto Ricans?

Bruh, just enjoy lusting after latinas without trying to find a way to capitulate it into still loving black women
