Having grown up in NYC, where our communities were intertwined, a black person that spoke Spanish (Cuban, DR, Puerto Rico, Panama) was the norm. I think it is odd that people have not seen a black Latino. Have met some folks from DR here in Atlanta that thought it was funny that people saw them as an oddity.

Exactly. I find that Latinos outside of NYC are not exposed to that. I'm from Brooklyn, and when my mom married my little sister's father, that was my exposure to Afro-Panamians. He is a Black Panamanian from Bocas del Toro. His mother was a Black Nicaraguan. His family was dark-skinned and they spoke Spanish and English. I learned from interaction with him, his family, and the environment of Brooklyn (especially school). Now living in Georgia, and working construction, the Mexicans look at me like I am an anomaly when they hear me speak Spanish. The Venezuelans are not so amazed because there are significant amount of Afro-Venezuelans. I love the respect and acceptance that I receive once it's known that I speak Spanish. Everything this brother has experienced , I've experienced the same things.

Dude, you're a riot. I just started learning spanish a few months ago at age 53 so I still have a long ways to go. Sorry that you have to deal with the stereotype but it's cool that you just take everything in stride. Que tengas un buen dia!

I actually found your channel because I was looking for Spanish telenovelas with black people. Like, not as side characters, but as part of the main cast, and...surprise, surprise, found no telenovelas of this kind on KZread, but your video came up. Happy I found it. I think the mindset of what a Spanish speaker looks like is a mixture of personal exposure and media representation. There are a lot of Spanish-fluent black South Americans, but they do not get the kind of exposure as one would think. I'm learning Spanish myself, along with two other foreign languages. Please keep being you and I'll keep being me. Mantienes hacer que haces, mi amigo. Look forward to more vids.

I can totally relate. My dad is Afro-Panamanian and my mom is African American. As someone who speaks English and Spanish, I would get shocked looks from Black and Latino folks because of being able to speak Spanish with ease and without shame. It is so nice to see another Panamanian and represent the culture. Continuar representando la cultura y joder a los que odian.

A black man can do anything he puts his mind to. Im black....all black, but yet I speak Spanish. Not all self taught but mostly self inflicted. I can relate. Many just don't wanna believe what they hear, and yes black trip more when they find out I can. Who the hell are you when they find out. Most times its negative reactions. Most Spanish men seems to brush us aside and think the one thing we after is ....you guess it... Spanish cats. If that was the case more black men would learn. I learned because I can't stand not understanding.

In the states there are food vendors who don't speak English and I would translate for people on the spot, and I'd get compliments or looks of shock and Wonder.

@@Demontreeee Hola y Adios. That is a start. lol

I'm sorry is this normal in the US? I mean there is nothing shocking about a darker skin tone person speaking Spanish. I think it is normal, but that because it is normal in places like center America, South and in Spain and I actually left the bubble that was placed around everyone and actually traveled to places which destroys the stereotype that People from the North have like Canada and U.S.. I don't mention Mexico because they have all colours speaking Spanish as there first language yes, even Whites. Did people forgot as well that European have stole and mistreated People from africa and brought them to all of America not just North America which also includes Mexico too. It is so not shocking how ignore people can be around the world.

Is it very common around the US , especially here in Texas where I currently live! I don’t get why people are so ignorant about it, but then again it’s also not very common to see someone like me speaking Spanish Around here!!! The only people I know are my family… haven’t encountered anyone else really!

@@Demontreeee well my thoughts are not with you because thoughts alone are not enough. If you need some to bite people's head off online like on discord or on I can do that. I'll do my best to educate people when can. Stay safe and strong.

The truth is, you were better _off_ because you spoke Spanish!

If only the mexicans knew the Spanish language was force taught to them from the Europeans we are the same people divided but the same like literally our father is Jacob/Israel in the bible

Spanish is a second language in America lol they should believe it lol

🤔 I can’t tell what you mean by your comment , LMAOO! But these are MY experiences, sir!

I think the problem is that when you tell people you're black, it's interpreted as African American. I think you should identify as a proud latino, Panamanian 🇵🇦 forget the black community hermano, eres latino y ya 😉

Ummmm he's both. It's better to represent both sides. It's refreshing seeing someone represent both sides and not just favoring one over the other.
