Support illegal immigration, brehs. There's no reason to support any type of immigration that isn't from a black country.

this is confusing, it says 24% of Latinos in the US identify as Afro-Latino, but only 18% of Afro-Latinos identify as being black?

Be Afro-Latino but not Black brehmanos

.... I'm trying to fathom this. Apparently the connotation that one is/likely is/could be Black coooned about 6% of Afro-Latinos....
Unless it's just a cultural misunderstanding, or just cultural outlook maybe.

There was no one-drop rule in Latin America, at least not one that was nearly codified like the U.S., so they would rather dilute into many smaller pieces......it's interesting.........

The AA part of me says they are Unconsciously Coooning, the more Anthropological side of me says, it's just their culture.....

As there is more crossover between AAs, Caribbean people, and Afro-Latinos, and even Africans in the Western Hemisphere, I wonder what perception of African Blackness will prevail more?

Hispanics invading the country and interfering with black people's lives. There's a Coli user who said he had to move from Miami because the Hispanics there (who aren't Mexican by the way) only hire Hispanics and cacs. Same is true in LA.

My husband ticks off black and he told me a family member of his said he doesn't qualify as black back home (in Cuba) because he is light skin. Mind you, this family member is even darker than me. Some people have this strange aversion to blackness.
