Let's be honest, a lot of the immigrant Hispanics find dark skin to be superior and ugly. But the vast majority of American born Hispanics generally get along with black people and associate more with black people than white people.

I'm not sound on black + brown = unity but the narrative here makes it seem like every Hispanic out there is going around shouting racial slurs and committing hate crimes.

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

Or any country at all. 300 million people here is enough.

afro latinos need to only check hispanic.....they don't check black because: black = African-American to most of them......... They're not doing it due to self hate, rather cultural affiliation.... :manny:

Then why do they check white?:martin:
Mixed people aren't black anyways :yeshrug:

Claim Bob Marley isn't Black, brehs:upsetfavre:

But aren't "Afro-Latinos" heavily mixed ? They're not Black. Nor are they White. They're mixed.

Then again, why do they check White?:upsetfavre:

I've never gotten any of this and my experience has been the total opposite. When people find out I'm Dominican, they refuse to acknowledge my blackness. But if I never mention I'm Dominican, they'd never peg me as a Latina. Literally I have people straight up TELL me I am not black, I'm Dominican. This happens to me all the time, at every job, any function I've ever been to. And that comes from white, African-Americans, East Asians, Dominicans. If I say I'm black, people will be like ".....wtf you speak Spanish?" and if I say I'm Dominican, people will be like "you're not black....." because around my way, to most people black=African American. And as a non-AA, to them I am not black enough or not "really black". Literally the only people who've never done this are other Afro-Latinos who claim their African roots who understand where I'm coming from.

I remember the first day of one of my classes in college, this girl that I have never spoken to came up to me and she's like

"You're Dominican? :leostare:"
and i'm like "Yeah....." and she's like
"But what do you identify as :wtb:"
and it was like "What do you mean...Afro-Dominican?" and she was like
":blessed::krs: I DO TOO. THERE'S THREE OF US SO FAR! WOULD YOU JOIN MY CLUB!"

And it was so funny to me. :bryan:

My mother was born in Puerto Rico, and My father was born in North Carolina, but nobody can tell which one is Black an which one is Puerto Rican. Wen I go to family functions, I see no cultural difference in between either side. I grew up in an area of the Bronx, which quickly became mostly Dominican and Puerto Rican (had a larger Black population when I was like 5-6 years old). I always say I'm Black and Puerto Rican, don't used Mixed, Afro-Latino, Hispanic, Latino. It's on applications and forms where it turns into bullshyt.


But I am about to get fluent in Spanish and Dominican Spanish though because I'm tired of feeling left out, them talking about me in the barber shop, and I know it's needed for my career.

He isn't. He's Jamaican :heh:

You need education: Jamaican is a nationality, not a race or ethnicity. Jamaicans are virtually all black. Usain Bolt is Jamaican by nationality and black by race. There are Jamaican descended people in the NBA and NFL yall think are black American. So as you can see, nationality is not the same as race.
