    I am a black woman(identify)who grew up in NYC and I get mistaken for Afro Latina most of my life. When they speak Spanish to me and I tell them I’m not Spanish, I immediately get the nasty looks or they start speaking in their language and I’ve definitely heard the word “Negra”
    I find it weird that without me uttering a word, they were willing to embrace me but as soon as they realized I wasn’t a part of their “group” I was immediately ousted..... this entire divisiveness is so so deeply rooted that it seems impossible to address.

      Me too. I'm a mixed-race Jamaican. African Scottish and English. Most Hispanics believe I am Hispanic. Until they realize that I'm not Hispanic at all. Then they treat you like garbage. I was friends with a Puerto Rican guy at my job. When he discovered I was Jamaican, he actually said, "So you're black then." I just shook my head and walked away. After many such interactions, I avoid them like the plague and dislike them intensely for their stupidity. Not only are they racists, but they also like to sit with and interact with other Hispanics. I find it amusing that they like to invade my personal space. I never speak to them. The curiosity on their faces is priceless.

    It’s crazy! I am Afro Latina and I am having a baby by my African American fiancé. My mother is Afro Latina all but was told by her mother she was white her whole life. She has told me that I am suppose to date lighter skin men to continue to better our race/features. My father is a white facing PR man and she used to tell me she worked hard to give me nice hair and features and I am going to ruin it dating black man. It breaks my heart but I have had to set boundaries with her on visiting my children if she thinks she’s going to bring that bullshyt mentality and her own insecurities with her. I won’t allow anyone to give my children a complex or make them feel insecure about their features. And don’t get me started on Latinos from the Bronx saying the n word. I have also had to that conversation with a lot of my family. You won’t be saying the n word casually around my children or you won’t be around us. Pray for me 🙏🏽 I feel like I am fighting an uphill battle most days.

    I had an Afrolatino colleague who said as a small boy he walked a fairskin schoolgirl home. On sjght of him, her mother pulled her inside, slammed the door and lectured her to "Uplift Her Race". Decades later, he returned home to stock and manage the business he had established when a crackhead begged him for money to buy a bowl of rice. He looked at her, and recognized her as that mother who had crushed his feelings. He asked her "Mama Did YOU Uplift Your Race?" Touché

    My Puerto Rican friend described this perfectly and it goes way beyond just black men. This is a huge problem in the entire Caribbean and the reason why my dark skinned Jamaican grandmother pushed a move to the US with my Chinese Jamaican grandfather. Colorism is rampant in the islands. My Puerto Rican said this and it’s true. As soon as the lady starts talking about her Columbian friend I knew where it was going. Colombians look down on Puerto Ricans, Puerto Ricans look down on Dominicans and Dominicans look down on Haitians. Funny how it’s based on who has the most dark skinned people. It’s a big problem. I also have a Dominican friend who is pretty dark. Among other black people he calls himself Dominican. But among white people he calls himself black.

      Actually, a lot of Colombians look up to Puerto Rico as a way to obtain US citizenship in any way possible. Once they get it, then they look down on Puerto Ricans. Puerto Ricans are US citizens. Since I'm biased and my woman is Puerto Rican, I consider Puerto Rican Hispanics at the top of the US Hispanic food chain. What can I say, they are born US citizens by default.
      The people of the Dominican Republic are the most sensitive and insecure among Hispanics because they share the island with Haiti - a country that is more than 95% black.

These are some of the protections that families are able to offer young people as the young people prepare for marriage, sex, procreation, etc. rather than just throwing young people to the wolves.

And you are correct to an extent, Puerto Ricans for the most part do embrace their African heritage unlike Dominicans. But of course you still have that population of Puerto Ricans that embrace and worship their Spaniard slavemasters heritage. The reason why most Puerto Ricans (and cubans) embrace their African heritage is because, A lot of it has to do with the enslaved Africans brought to the islands of Puerto Rico and Cuba, they were allowed to practice their indigenous African religions and culture openly along side the indigenous native Indian population (taino, Arawak) unlike Santo Domingo...WICH IS A ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY OF IT'S OWN. unlike Puerto Ricans, Dominicans for the most part hate and despise their African ancestry.

Also, why are black men offended that they aren’t the first choice of Afro-Latinas or Latinas when there are so many other women to date? The black men commenting in one of the video shorts was talking about Latinos not being warm towards them. However, there have been accounts of some Black Americans giving the cold shoulder to Haitians and West African immigrants when they first arrive here.

I've said that I wouldn't date a white man or a black man, but it was never because of the color of their skin. It's because I was specifically referring to white and black americans because we're culturally different. I would and have dated men of those shades and everything in between as long as we come from the same culture because we have more things in common. It's not racism. It's a preference, and no one should take offense to that. It's no different than when black people say that they date within their own race, referring to their own people, community. I understand that Black people see themselves culturally different from white and Latinos, and many prefer to stick to their own. There is nothing wrong with that.

      As a result, her mother raised her to be like her: NOT A WIFE. That's because her mom's teachings raised her to be a user=selfish, via "Find someone to take care of you vs to be a wife (lover/confidant)." Therefore, she got EXACTLY what her momma got: pumped and dumped.

I was interested in a guy who was also Puerto Rican, and he happened to be super light and I remember we were out with a few friends and he was making fun of how “black looking” my hair was. And I was like sir, we’re from the same island you have the same ancestry I do. Needless to say, that was a complete turn off and crush ended. But also, I’ve heard from the black community that all Latinos are white. I’ve always been taught that as boriqua you are a combination of three races. And in my family the African portion of that combination was always appreciated. But it feels like no matter where you go, you can’t win among any group. Which is unfortunate.

I feel like we've reached a point where people are no longer shedding a light on racism and colorism but rather claiming being victimized for controversy and views. It just keeps the negativity going, and nothing ever gets better.
      A lot of what the second girl in that video said is simply untrue. "Obama es un negro" doesn't mean "Obama is a Black". That actually made me laugh at how ridiculous her claim was. That is a literal translation, a word for word translation that doesn't actually convey what is being said. What it actually means is: Obama is a black person/man. If they wanted to use "negro" as an insult, it would have been followed by an insulting adjective. Using "negro" as a noun in spanish is not racist unless you're saying it with disdain. The "cocolo" thing is also inaccurate. Firstly, you really only hear that in the Caribbean, and it actually refers to African descendants (which is 99.9 percent of Carribeans lol), traditions, culture, etc. within our own. Pretty much anything of ours that comes from our African heritage. Where I'm from, I've only ever heard of Cocolo being used when referring to a person who is a huge Salsa music fan, salsa singers/bands, as the core of Salsa comes from our African heritage.
      I hope most people don't believe everything that she said because the last thing Latinos need is people who know nothing about us policing our language.

She married a Midnight Black Man and so did my Mom. Mommy would tell me when Gram would come to school about her and her brothers, her white class mates would look at her and look at Gram and say " She can't be your Mother, your to dark". Mommy said, " Then Gram would start cussing them all out saying " Leave my damn kids alone"! I was very close to her. Gram and I would always hang out and go everywhere together. Mommy wanted me to help take care of her when she got older and frail. I used to take her to the doctor in her wheel chair. One day while wheeling her out to the car one of my Hispanic lady friends saw me pushing her wheel chair and asked me "Who is this?' I told her this is my Grandmother she said "NOOOO!" Gram said :This is my grandson and we are going to the doctor" Then the Hispanic girl yelled out "SHE'S BEAUTIFUL"!! and just stood there just stunned as I wheeled her away. At that time Gram was 87 years old and was still a raving beauty.
    One day I had the nerve to go into one of my hate-whitey rants in front her during the Black Power era in the 1970s. Gram looked at me, Gram waved her hand at me and said 'Boy there is good and bad in ALL RACES"! Well that ended my hate-whitey rants in front of her. She paid for my drums lessons for years. She was so proud of me when she came to one of our shows with all her friends(all black) and they raved about how great the band and my drumming was. Boy you could not anything bad about me to her, man she would come for your throat. Even in her old age she was fearless. Having her as a Grandmother taught me how silly, sad, and psychotic all this colorism from these Hispanic wanna be white people is. The most amazing thing about Gram. SHE NEVER SAID SHE WAS WHITE!!!
