SURVEY: U.S. Afro-Latinos More Likely to Identify as White Than Black

[razassin]

Im done with this topic I gotta go out n cant keep comin back n forth

Last thing Im gonna say is that the problem is not them, The problem is the system, which makes people identify themselves as either black or white when sometimes they're neither... they're somewhere in a grey area

Peace

Latin America is so diverse it changes from country to country... One thing is bein' black in the domincan republic another thing is being black in argentina...

Im just tryina rationalize why a lotta these light skin latinos find it hard to recognize themselves as bein' black or white

even taking that into account the majority Afro Latinos black by most anyone's ..what is your definition of light skin latino? I see i'm not one them nikkas that claim every latin has black roots or mulatto. wouldn't expect Argentinians to claim black considering the country is almost pure cac

there would be no confusion about the race of most of these Afro latinos in the US

 

[Sauanaffe Tustunnagee]

Latinos are just confused mixed race people
It's hard for them to pick a race because they don't even know what race they are to begin with.

but white supremacy is the rooot of thedr Sammy Sambo nikkas racial complex....trust me all non white racially confused Latinos know they brown/native or black

why u nikkas keep talking like the average African origin person in latin America looks like Mariah Carey or somethingfrom what i've seen most Afro latino identified people in the region are regular blackfolk
i wouldn't be suprised if this study was bullshyt/propaganda but i'm interested in seeing the alleged Afro latinos polled

Not at all... a domican may be black in the US, but he never felt part of bein' black back in the dominican republic where most of the population share his complexion... To them bein' black is being a darker skin haitian.... N even tho in the US they are black to the general population, they don't feel like bein' black themselves... Its all about perception... Danny trejo may feel white next to wesley snipes, but he may not feel white next to brad pit... u feel me?

Not true because they still separate themselves from Africa Americans who have a vast amount of skin colors, so no they know what black is so their full of shyt.

It's that they may idenify with their African lineage, and do not deny that, but they don't consider themselves black. If they're mixed (with more white than black), they may consider themselves white or just mixed. It goes back to slavery and the fukkery the Portugese and Spaniards did, to the point where some even simply refer themselves as "Spanish". Unlike the British, they didn't hide the fact that they were impregnating slaves because they wanted to weaken to the bloodline. That's literally where the term "improve the race" comes from. They wanted blackness to cease to exist. Hence the ruling class of Creoles from French Louisiana, except after the Code Noir, the British still enforced the one drop rule. For the Spaniards/Portugese it was more like the reverse one drop rule.

He touches on exactly what you posted at the 27th minute mark.

I'm Afro Latino and I identify myself as black

No self hate here brehs

 

[beanz]

I'm just Latino/dominican

My dna results says I'm 58 percent European and 30 percent African and 10 percent native.

Later for all of that tho

I'm just a dominicano vacano con un palo y dos granos

How you gonna identify as white when your ethnicity has the word afro in it?

If I ate a fukking cake and had icing on my lips, if I told you I never ate cake you'd look at me like I lost my fukking mind.

That self hate though
That desperation to be accepted by whites

long as your skin is darker than theirs and your hair wavy they ain't gonna call you one of em

 

[Dihsarm]

Is anyone surprised though? I've known some very dark 'afro-latinos' who try their best to hide from their blackness.

 

[The Nigerian]

I would say fukk them but the world already does that daily so fukk it.

How do you even hide from your blackness?

Wear crocs?
Go to farmer's markets?
Not season your food?
Listen to country music?

While I agree that the system is at fault, you can't beat it if you refuse to see how its gaming everyone.
