African Americans are not mixed but have pure African blood unlike the Latin Americans have blood of native Americans Spanish blood as while you just can't deny that

@@Aldine281 What? African Americans are mixed because of white slave masters. That is one of the reasons why we have colorism in the Black (African) American community.
We can blame a lot of this confusion on the US educational system. Latin American culture as a whole isn't taught nearly enough in schools. As far as Afro-Latino culture is concerned, most artforms that gringos associate with Latin America have African orgins. Music genres like salsa, merengue, bachata, rumba, cumbia, samba, bomba y plena, etc. Not to mention the dances associated with these music styles. Religions like Santería and Candomblé. Martial arts like Capoeira. Athletes like Roberto Clemente, Sammy Sosa, Felix Trinidad, and Pelé to name a few. My point is that Latino culture is way more diverse than the media portrays.
@@sashanoel8766 Not true. The death toll of chattel slavery varied enormously from place to place depending on climate, the kind of work being performed, and the labor practices of the masters..In general, the enslaved were poorly fed, poorly clothed, and housed, had no medical care, and were over worked..Haiti and some of the sugar islands were literal death camps in which enslaved were worked to death because it was cheaper to bring more. In fact, some of those places could neither grow nor maintain population without a constant influx of new slaves until the abolition of chattel slavery. Think about that for a few minutes...In the US, the further south one went, the harsher the climate and harder the form of slavery; rice farming, indigo, sugar cane became. The US also had slave breeding farms and forced marches of slaves from one region to another after the land itself was worked to death, or when new land on the frontier was wrested from the Indians. There is nothing cute, pretty, or glorious in any of this even by the standards of those times. Moderns who make excuses for this while expressing horror over nazism are part of the same sickness.
Charlemagne isn’t the only one misunderstanding the term. WE (🇨🇺🇩🇴🇵🇷) ARE NOT LATINO. We do not lie within Latin America. We’re simply and technically “The Spanish Caribbean”. We were first purposely uncultivated in many ways so that we can be as lost and misinformed as we are today. Like English and french patois, we have Spanish patois. It’s only HARD TO SEE and say when blind folded by indoctrination. This was used, AND IT WORKED, to divide and conquer. WE ARE AS CARIBBEAN AS THE REST OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS (🇦🇬🇧🇧🇨🇺🇩🇲🇩🇴🇬🇩🇬🇾🇭🇹🇯🇲🇵🇷🇰🇳🇱🇨🇻🇨🇹🇹🇻🇮). Bless n love!
No we are latino. Iberian speaking countries in America are latino. Don't lump us in with the French or English. The Spanish were different in there colonization of the America's and how they ran colonies. Racial mixing in latin america was encouraged whereas in English speaking countries there were laws on the books from interracial marriage. So yea I'm proud to be latino and also Caribbean. All the other Latinos love our music aswell.
@james192599 calling your self a latino is like calling yourself white just saying I'm caribbean I'm indigenous to the americas American Indian which I have taino ! English , Spanish, French or Portuguese was not our native tongue we spoke our own language before these white Europeans came here that is truth rather u wanna believe it or not
I have a question. Yes you explained it but I had a debate with someone earlier and she basically said that not all Afro-latinos are from African decent...... So why call them Afro-latinos wouldn't they just be Latino. Yes they're now mixed. My question is :Are all Afro-latinos of African decent???
Afro-Latin also has to do with ancestry and features. We use the term for people who know their black ancestry and look like their ancestors. Not all Latins are Afro-Latin! It’s important to reiterate this, because we also experience racism within us!
I love this lady for keeping it all the way real. As most so called black peoples from Spanish speaking countries deny their true bloodline. Even Hatians be tripping like that. It’s whatever
I think the issue with the confusion is that a lot of folk do not accept race as some meaningful objective universal term. I am "Black" because of African-American Culture. Not because of race. If I could know things through skin color alone, maybe I could understand. But I am only "Black" because of the history, culture and tradition my parents and grandparents taught me.
Please be aware that the USA perspective on black history is not the ONLY reference of blacks on the American continent or in the Caribbean. We seem to want to rewrite history to fit modern usa perspectives. No other blacks had a Rosa Parks or MLK than the USA. Slavery was abolished in Latin n Caribbean before the USA, which makes black experiences in other countries DIFFERENT than the USA. Yes there is racism EVERYWHERE but the overall USA experience is unique ti USA. Stop making as if everyone who was brought out of Africa had the EXACT slavery and racist experience like in the USA.
And lastly, “Black” is not a race, but an ethnicity, while human is a race. Originally, the term “Latino” was more of a stigma and/or derogatory toward the Africans and Natives that the FRENCH in “Latin America” started, used as a separation mark. It meant you belonged to the French (Non British or Spanish). -Though The Father of BLACK History is the reason for many opportunities for blacks today, the real reason Puerto Ricans flag so much is thanks to Don Pedro “The Teacher” Albizu Campos.
This were I’m lil confuse on the explanation of Afro Latins belong to both groups due to black is a race and ethnicity is culture. So what other group does non Afro Latino belong to ? White ? Or is it just Latino?
This video says 'not approved' at my middle school. It is riddiculously sensored because of reference to the Fword you clearly did not even use, so I clicked 'Approve'. Everyone knows the word is for emphasis and I am not going to be one who throws the baby out with the bathwater on this one. I will show this video with pride to my middle school students starting at :13 seconds in to avoid the F in case anyone wants to get petty. Why? 3 of my students finally discovered through my teaching of black history month what to call themselves!!! They've never known there was a term: Afro-latino! They have parents from Cuba/Puerto Rico and a parent who is black. They have never fit a mold. They've always been asked questions they couldn't answer...till now. I believe it changed their life. Thank you for being part of their self-identity discovery. If anyone has a problem with that, they can talk to me personally. I am an educator. Prepared to educate even petty adults if I have to.
In the Americas, north, south, and central, not just the US, there has long been a tendency on the part of the white people in power in most of those places to "disappear" the black population or to marginalize it in every way possible, and, to dismiss the scale, duration, and the impact of the trans Atlantic slave trade on the Americas and on racial attitudes globally. When one compares the raw numbers of enslaved people brought to different parts of the Americas the question rarely asked or answered is why the US still managed to have the largest enslaved population in the Americas until 1865 when Brazil eagerly grabbed the title and kept it until nearly 1900.
You are way overestimating whatever amount of African ancestry she has and possibly underestimating her Latin ancestry (which you are calling "native"). Trust me, that's not her actual hair texture. She's playing all this up to make it seem that she is a black woman when she isn't. This is the result of the one drop rule being a thing in the U.S. and when African American men push on Latin women and want to have sex with them by forcing them to think that they are black. The woman here has fallen for it.
@@NomadFlow lmaoo you are deranged, and butthurt that Afro Latinos are standing up and claiming their identity. We been oppressed in Latin America for centuries under the lie that we're all one people.

Does she even know the Africa part is the most important since it takes you back in time. Most African Americans nor Afro Latinos are unaware that black pharaohs founded Kemet/Egypt and built those pyramids and temples in Africa. One of the greatest civilizations in history... the creators of makeup and that hairstyles. And even fashion, art and music. In addition, algebra, geometry and trigonometry. And, the father of medicine.
@@mgmhispano836 You got it the other way around. She is quite possibly an actual Latin woman (meaning having actual ancestry of the original people of Latin America cause "white latinos" and "afro latinos" are not a thing) who has fallen for the ruse that many thirsty African American men do when they want to have sex with Latin women: Pressure them into saying that they are black by using the one drop rule which is only a thing in America and not in the rest of the world.
My family came from Puerto Rico and we been taught this we are black what’s so hard for white Latinos to understand a lot of Mexicans are waking up saying there natives so leave us tf alone frfr Yal annoying
Bruh stfu Spain was the first to invent a classification based on skin color. It's not some gringo BS, in Latin America we have this myth that there's racial solidarity and we don't see color that shit is a lie Latin America is racist as hell. Latin America people constantly deny our blackness, black people are at the bottom of society in Latin America and get no representation in media. And why is it that most of our rich and political leaders are white and mixed raced majority in the middle. We literally have the same societal racial make up that was ingrained in us by Spain hundreds of years ago we just drank the Kool aide that were not a racist society to justify the racism.
Anti-Africaness anti-blackness are equally evil. The tendency of many people in Latin America to worship whiteness while denigrating others especially black people makes them no better than the gringos whom they accuse of being race obsessed.
Still Latin. There’s a difference between being Hispanic and Latino. Haitians and Brazilians are Latino but not Hispanic, whereas Hondurans and Cubans are both Hispanic and Latino.
Black features dont give you the right to consider yourself black. Be who you are. Stop being a culture vulture. Leave black people alone man Black is BLACK & Spanish is SPANISH
As someone with a Mexican mother and a black/euro father? Would I JUST be black? I had a son with a Mexican man and my child is fair skin with wavy hair and green eyes. I don’t think it’d be right to call him JUST black and Mexican.
There is no such thing as a Afro-Cuban or black latino the only thing there is just Cuban Columbian mexican latinos period we don't see color they are not from Africa nor Spain but from the Latin American lands

You realize that there's a lot of black history in the Latin community, right? The African diaspora is huge in Latin America. When African slavery occurred, it didn't just stop in the US. It occurred all over Latin America and the Caribbean. Only about 6% of Africans went to North America. The majority of them went to Brazil and the Caribbean, so Latin America and the Caribbean actually had a larger slave trade than the American south. Also, Santo Domingo was the first place to transport African slaves in the Americas. That means that the Dominican Republic, which is where my family is from, was home to the first black people in the Americas. That's why a lot of Dominicans today have more African ancestry than Spanish ancestry, but the sad reality is that we don't celebrate our African history as much as we celebrate our Spanish history because of anti-blackness. African history is deeply ingrained in Latin American history, but because the legacy of white supremacy has produced anti-black beliefs across so many of our cultures, we don't celebrate blackness in our community as a whole. That's why so many people in our community, like yourself, don't acknowledge the fact that Latinos can be black as well. African Americans are not the only black people and their history is not the only black history. The black diaspora is huge and diverse, so please learn your history before you spout ignorance.
