    The difference is America at least acknowledges it. And the people who are Black at least are vocal at dispelling racism. In latin American, many Black people are not self identifying, so they never really get a chance of being vocal against racism. That's why they continue to be on the bottom, because of the lack of action of self identifying as Black or Afro Latino/a.

    @BEEN BRACKIN i don't see the problem being rejection, i think it's because they don't teach treatment to hair with textures, curls, and coils. Telling me you won't do my hair is doing me a favor.i rather go to someone that knows how to do my hair not bluffs and ruins my crown

    I'm 🇭🇹 and we are black, we identify as BLACK. No Haitian person is running around calling themselves Latino. Considering how hard Hatians fought for their independence being the first BLACK ( not Latino) nation to be independent then to turn around and be called Latino. Sounds like some type of erasure. Hatians are BLACK not LATINOS.

    Anti-blackness originated in the Talmud created by Rabbis. It's called "The Curse Of Ham". The Jewish merchants of Europe used this "Ham curse" to justify the lucrative transatlantic slave trade then Jim Crow and apartheid. White-Jews taught the idea that black skin is a curse to other races.

    Can you please explain why there are no racial riots in Latin America as there are in the USA? I mean, if Afro Latinos were being mistreated as they are in the USA, then one would expect the same outrage. But such intense outrage simply does not exist among Afro Latinos. Also, there is absolutely no barrier that prevents any Afro Latino from being 100% Latino. because afro Latinos share enough of Latino Culture to qualify as Latinos and therefore have always been considered as such.

    White Supremacy is not the only reason why people are nasty. Most of the nastiness I have encountered in life has been from people who are not white supremacists. It has been mainly from black supremacists and belligerently-inclined Puerto Ricans who don't give a rat's fat ass whether I am from their same island or not. My uncle was killed for fourteen dollars by NYC blacks, not white supremacists. I had all my property stolen from my house by Puerto Ricans, not white supremacists. In fact, in comparison to Puerto Ricans and blacks, I can honestly say that Anglo Americans have been much less of a problem in my case.

    I met this guy who I really don’t talk to anymore who insisted on constantly telling me that he is “Puerto Rican, but a white puerto Rican”. Like every time I was around him, he would always bring it up. I never asked him anything about his ethnicity…but he would just feel compelled to always remind me. So I’m just sitting there like “😐 okayyyy??? Does that make you better or something??”…asking myself why he keeps insisting on explaining his racial identity every time I’m around. Like bruh…I heard you the first 3 times…and I still DONT CARE. I think it’s really weird how some Latinos will go out of their way to tell you they are everything but African…Be darker than Taye Diggs, but be out here talking about “I’m Spanish, Taino, Portuguese, European, Native American, extraterrestrial, blah blah blah…but will never claim African ancestry. Thank god for social media because a lot of that bullshit is being exposed and many of them have to face it because everyone is privy to it. The self hate in Latin communities is REAL and shameful. I think it’s kinda funny because the same way they discriminate against black people who stand in their blackness is the same way white people discriminate against them.

    For starters, there was barely any talk about Indigenous or anti-indigenous within the community. There are very dark indigenous too and with distinct features not just “Afro-Latinos”. Also, the creating of all these new terms like “Afro-Latinos” create a divide within, not the countries or nations nor race, but within the culture that is so diverse already. No need to create more divide or par-tide between all people within the community. There’s no one look or type of Latino. It’s also an ethnicity not a race and that’s the difference and being informed/educated on the terminology. Yes we do need more representation of all different looking types of Latinos in the media but hats all types not just certain ones more than others. Con mucho amor!

Due to the fact that Spanish colonizers created a cast system that permitted racial mixing and most Latinos are either mestizo or mulato, you don’t get to decide how much blackness it too little or too much, unlike the United States. They are very different stories, and this video seems like it is trying to impose one on the other.

    Race is viewed differently in Latin America than the United States because it wasn’t just black and whites but white, mixed, brown, and black. ethnic identity is very important to us which this video is ignoring the ethnic barrier between us because I noticed Latinos don’t like being connected to the other countries. Probably due to the history and blood spilled for their ethnic identity is very strong and sometimes stronger than race. An example, would be when you confuse each other from another country and they will very annoyed. Afro Latinos also do this with the black community of the USA. Also, this video ignored the enslavement and genocide of Indigenous people in Latin America. 90% of natives died from disease and many more were enslaved hence some areas don’t have high black populations like other areas because the native population was the enslaved work force in that area. For example the Andean regions and the Amazon. Enslavement of natives even happened until the 20th century hence this belief of black people being slaves isn’t unique to them, but in the United States black culture that is a very strong part of their identity. Latin America is very complicated because the biggest issue isn’t racism but just corruption and poverty. It’s hard to say a particular race is dominating when you see many of that racial group in the slums. To say lighter skin people have it easier has some truth, but it’s not like their living first world lives.

The society however will vary because some countries societies will have more racism than others but if you ever notice it’s more often in the urban areas than suburban. This is because urban areas is where rich White people live and the look down on everyone that aren’t white or rich.

In contrast, Anglo Americans considered it a curse on the black race uttered against Noah's Son Ham. Latin Americans viewed slaves as human beings. Anglo Americans viewed them as mere property. Latin Americans had laws protecting slaves from being separated from their close family members. Slaves were also allowed to work to earn their freedom. Anglo Americans had no such provisions. Of course, to Anglo Americans, Jim Crow was merely an extension of a previous belief of black innate inferiority.

British were so tribal that the island next them, the Irish, were seen as second class and inferior. While the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) had more relations with African and Arabs. Some Africans were in the Iberian peninsula with wealth and even joined the conquistadors conquering indigenous. However, the Spanish were still racist like everyone else in the world at the time and still placed African descendants at the bottom of the hierarchy of the colonies. Though, the racial caste allowed lighter skin indigenous and blacks to be respected more. Also, with the indigenous being included into the Spanish society unlike British tactics of removal and genocide, the Spanish would use blacks to be in charge over natives in many situations like soldiers. Like I said before Latin America is a mess where you could find various points where different groups become the most abused and switch to another.

    I hate to be the "Acktually" guy, but this video is wrong. So, "LatinX", "Latino," or "Latina" is a term that refers to anyone whose "home language" (the language they speak at home with their parents) happens to be a "latinate" or "romance" language. That is, someone who speaks Spanish, Portuguese, Galician, Catalan, Occitan, French, Romanian, or Italian (these languages are collectively called "latinate" or "romance" languages, cause they come from Latin, hence "Latino" (mas.) or "Latina" (fem.) or "LatinX") is a Latin X. "Hispanic" means Spanish-speaking, "francophone" is french-speaking, and "lusophone" is portugese-speaking, etc . These are sub-groups within "Latino X." Meanwhile, there are other cultures, like 'Anglo-Celtic or "anglo" who speak English. Separate from culture is race. African ("black"), European ("white"), and Native American ("Red") are three racial phenotypes here in the western hemisphere/New World/Americas. Classically, in US English before the 1960s civil rights movements, we had special terms for mixed races. "Mestizo" was Red/White, "Mullatto" was black/white, and "Pardo" was black/red. If you go back and read old writings, like Mark Twain and H.P. Lovecraft, you will encounter these terms. During the civil rights era, a lot of these terms were sanitized from the language. Basically, imagine a cartesian field, or x-y axis. "Race" is the x-axis, and the ethnolinguistic group is the y-axis. On x, we have six types (White, black, red, mestizo, mulatto, and pardo) and on the y are two (anglo and Latino). So you can mix and match across x-y. Cameron Diaz and Alexis Blendl are White-Latina, whereas Dolly Parton is a White-Anglo. Beyonce is a black-anglo, and Christina La Negra is a Black-Latina. Bill Richardson (half white, half Navajo former governor of Arizona) is a Mestizo-Anglo, while Juan Gonzalez (half white (Spanish), half red (Zappatecas Indian)) is a Mestizo-Latino. This shit isn't difficult to understand.

    Lantindad to my knowledge is pride in being Latino. Latin x is a new term for those who feel left out from the looks of it. The mistake people have made us to think being Latino is a race. We’re a culture. The host is right she’s black but if she would deny being Latina that would be due to her life experience being negative on some level with that. Being Ecuadorian is your ethnicity and he country your from (I’m assuming you were born there or your parents are from there) in the US you’re looked at in group form before specifics or individually. People from north ,“central” , South America and the Caribbean are not the only ones affected by European colonialism. Everyone has pretty much. In the black community this is self evident in a variety of forms but sticking to the bad hair term how many black women do you see with their natural hair? I find it hypocritical to talk black pride when you don’t even realize you lack it. That’s not a reference to the host cause that may very well be her hair but there’s plenty of other women that fall into that category. As for the lady she’s interviewing she’s spot on with what she’s saying though it’s a different understanding from the US and those countries. I’m assuming the host is from here and that’s why she views it how she does. Also those of mixed “race” which is the majority of “Latinos” tend to not acknowledge all of their backgrounds saying I’m black or I’m white when in fact they are both or native, Asian etc etc. This is particularly true in the US. In Ecuador and other Spanish colonized countries I think moat people just look at them selves as Ecuadorian, Colombian, Dominican, Cuban, Honduran etc and not as a race. That’s the big difference between the US and those places. Some will tell you I’m not black I’m Ecuadorian but that’s just a lack of knowledge so to speak.

I suppose it’s influenced by the African American legacy. In any case I love both of my ancestries.

Es como decir que un Dominicano y un Argentino son similares porque son latinos. Nada que ver! Solo porque se habla el mismo idioma eso no significa que compartamos las mismas costumbres, valores, o seamos del mismo origen racial. Dejen de confundir a la gente con conceptos absurdos. Yo soy de Ecuador y aqui hay de todo, indigenas(nativos americanos), negros, blancos, asiaticos. hay mestizos, hay mulatos, hay zambos, hay mezcla de todo. Tu no vas por la calle y dices ese es "latino". Si ves a un blanco a o un Negro sino abre la boca no sabrás si es de Latinoamerica, de Uganda, de Francia o de la China. Cada quien es de el pais que es, y eso es lo que es, que importa su raza. Yo soy mayoritariamente indigena de sudamerica, descendiente de la etnia Inca, un imperio con siglos de historia. Y no voy a dejar que nadie me encasille, con "latino" o lo que sea que eso signifique. respeten las diferencias de todos, y dejen de ir imponiendo sus doctrinas absurdas. Como si no tuvieramos suficiente con la mayoria de latinoamericanos diciendo que son mestizos cuando en realidad son racialmente INDIGENENAS y ESO es motivo de mucho orgullo.

    El concepto de raza es una construción social y abilita a que un determinado grupo de personas tienen mucho en común. La Raza Latina si era un concepto hasta que un europeo vino y dijo que las razas estaban asociadas a la biolgia humana, lo cual se ha comprobado imposble con los avances y el ADN. Entonces, eliminando esa teoria absurda, La Raza Latina si es una raza. Raza no significa color, ni mucho menos que se parezcan fisicamenre. Por ejemplo, La Raza Asiatica (Si, es una raza/no sólo un continente) incluye a los Chinos, Japoneses, Coreanos que se parecen mucho entre ellos, pero tambien incluye a India. La mayoria de los de ese pais son morenos, sin embargo son parte de la misma raza que los chinos, que se podria decir que nada tienen en común fisicamente, pero si culturalemnte, como las religiones y tradiciones asociadas con las mismas. Así es que partiendo de esta premisa, un Argentino puede estar en la misma categoría que un Dominicano o Colombiano o Boricua, etc. La Raza Latina. Latin Race. Búscalo! BTW: Cuando se dividieron las razas por colores, se estipulo que la raza blanca era superiora a todas las demas, este fué el unico motivo para hacer esto. por los años 1800s sin ninguna pruaba cientifica que sustentara dicha teoria.

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo en que la cultura americana habla de nuestras raíces como si realmente las comprendieran o como si nosotros los que tenemos la fortuna de crecer y vivir en nuestros países indígenas hablàsemos de su origen africano y les inventaramos nuevos adjetivos para describir su cultura y origen como lo hacen ellos. Aparte del idioma tenemos algo muy importante en común ecuatorianos, mexicanos , cubanos, puertorriqueños, argentinos, colombianos, peruanos, uruguayos, paraguayos, costarricenses, chilenos, guatemaltecos, hondureños, cubanos, haitianos, venezolanos, panameños, dominicanos y nicaragüenses: Herencia, cultura y diversidad. Esto provoca envidias (aunque no lo creas) y junto con nuestro dominio del español nos ha hecho lo que somos; una potencia multicultural , multiétnica e idiomática, que nadie más que nosotros posee y esto nada ni nadie lo puede negar o cambiar por más que nos quieran encasillar con terminología inexistente. Es un privilegio formar parte de una cultura con verdadera herencia ancestral y diversidad, y tu herencia mayoritariamente indígena es la parte esencial de esto que hoy nos conforma... de esto que hoy somos. No renuncies a ése privilegio.

Based on a eugenist pseudoscience, saying black and natives were from an inferior race and to save the country they need to make bigger the white population. That's why they asked for white european immigrants come to Brasil. On the world war 2, we had an immigration of retired nazis and other germans and Italians scaping from the war. On a diferent situation of that others immigrants. But much before that, in 1818, when Brasil was an empire, we received deserters from the south of USA, confederates. The brazilian's government gave lands and money to them, to they be stabilized here. That's because the brazilian's crowd was into masonry, like those deserters soldiers. Yeah, we have a huge native and black population, but as colony we were destroyed by racists governments.

So they ignore the presence of black latinos, and with indigenous people, they try to culturally appropriate indigenous things. well I am here to tell you that europeans didnt bring light skin and straight hair and keen facial features to america, our native ancestors already had those physical traits.
