I'm Black, a military brat and knew two Puerto Rican families. We all lived on base in North Carolina and I used to hang with the girl from one of the families who was my age. while I was waiting for my friend, I had asked her mom Mrs. Uldanetta if she met the new Puerto Rican family down the block. She was like "Oh no honey they Black Puerto Ricans, I aint tryin to associate with that" I was floored! then her daughter Keisha came out and we left for school. She was the same complexion as them but her husband looked white, and Keisha who was a little darker than me...and her name was Keisha lol! Perplexing is right. That's when I knew there was Colorism with them just like it was with us.

Yes, and I wish that people would be more educated on the fact that "latinos" are made up of different races and ethnicities. If you go to any South American country, you will find that white people are the ones that are in power and control the wealth of those countries. Also, white skin is seeing as more desirable due to the hundreds of years of Spanish colonialism. Why would this mentality change once central and S. Americans migrate to the U.S.? The culture is just as racist as it is in those countries. I am an 85% indigenous South American and grew up with the sentiment that I wasn't beautiful because of my skin color and native feature. Models, actresses, even beauty pageant contestants were light skin and European looking. This is in a country that is made up of 65% Mestizos and 25% fully indigenous people.

Colorism and racism within Latino communities needs to be talked about and needs to be acknowledged. Even in Mexico where the Indigenous and mixed population is high people resist acknowledging being Native. You’re worse for wear in getting anyone to acknowledge blackness even though without Africans we wouldnt have some of our most cherished cultural traits. I think about La Bamba, a folk song, which is super Mexican but originated from Africans in Mexico whose ancestors were West African.

There is racism in us. We as societies survived and inherited Spanish colonialism that left as a sense of superiority towards the black slaves who became a part of society but, we were told, were less than us. Sadly, it's normal in Latin American societies to distrust blacks simply because of their color of skin. So, there is a lot self-study to be done to uproot these ideas.

I enjoyed this video, very educational and enlightening. Seeing this caused me to reflect on two former coworkers. I worked with people who were Black and White. Both of these coworkers were brown-skinned like me and my other African-American coworkers. The man would often say that he was Cuban and the woman would often say that she was Mexican. Neither of these people were born and raised in Cuba and Mexico, respectively. That annoyed me because they would bring up their "identity" in conversations that had nothing to do with race and ethnicity. It was obviously their way of telling their White coworkers and managers, "Don't get it twisted. Just because I'm dark brown skinned, don't confuse me with those Black, African Americans". As the man in this video said, Mexican is a nationality. BTW, the woman who said that she was Mexican had one African American parent and one Mexican parent. The irony is that they knew that anyone who saw them would see them for who they were: two BLACK people!

Will this country ever completely divest itself from this outdated mindset? The poison was so deeply rooted in a few remaining quarters long ago that even I (with my chemically straightened hair, big nose, barely average looks, but gold under toned tan complexion) have been chosen over an obviously lovely looking woman with dark skin and natural hair.

I am not sure it is true that Latinos identify more with culture and nationality vs race. The disparity of treatment, acceptability and opportunity for visibly black Latinos is just too pervasive. Black looking Latinos labor under a great deal of racism and prejudice in the Latin world. My grandmother-in-law shed her Latin identity when she moved to the US in 1974. When we watched this together she said that when she moved here from Mexico. The culture shock was profound for her especially where race was concerned. She was living in New York and she for the first time saw black people doing things, and holding jobs that it would be impossible for a person who looked like that, who looked like her to do in Mexico. She worked at a fancy restaurant owned by a black man, with a black wife who had black children and she had a hard time believing he was really the owner. How can a black man, a black family be able to do such a thing. Why had he married a black woman? didn't he know better? Meanwhile when she went home her fellow Latinos were treating her as if she were dirty or a slut. Mexicans would say she could not be Mexican. She told us that finally she decided to just cross the line and leave the Latin world behind her so she could have a better life and she has a very good life. In America the racial group after whites with the most millionaires in it is African Americans. Nowhere in Latin America is that even close to being true. Phenotype racism in Latin America translates into lack of opportunity, and a generous amount of self hate piled at the door of Latinos who look even a little too black. refusing to see or talk about the issue maintains that status quo.

How tragic that Sean Arce and Hateepah Clawbear are either unaware or hiding the Africanness in Mexico and Mexican culture. They only refer to their indigenous roots: great but they (or, rather, Mexican or Mexican-descendant people) are not only indigenous and, as horribly as indigenous Mexicans might experience colorism and racism, Afro-Mexicans have been told by Mexican society that they don't exist and have been treated, even by indigenous peoples, as such. The idea behind that is, as difficult as it is to be considered indigenous, it's better than being black.

Uh... no. There is no such thing as "white latino" or "black latino" or "Asian latino". "Latino" is a synonym for "Latin America" and as such Latinos are people who have Latin American ancestry/blood. Anyone in Latin America with no Latin American ancestry/blood is nothing more than a European or African living in Latin America just like there are Europeans and Asians living in Africa.

Soy Mexicano- Americano con padres de Los Altos de Jalisco, my mother is a white light skin Mexican and my father is a Brown skin Mexican, therefore my siblings are a mixture of white or light brown. There is always going to be discrimination anywhere you go, but I tell my people not to fall in that victim mentality, you can be anything you want despite of the troubles that you have gone or are going through. I am an ex convict, ex gangster, and I also got beat down by the LAPD at the age of 16 years old and left the back of the police car covered with blood. I no longer hate the police, I understand today that I put myself in these predicaments, It was wrong, what they did, but I was not coming out of Sunday school.. I have changed my life at the age of 35, I am now 51, I own a home that is going to be paid off in 12 years, I own a couple of lots in Baja California and soon we are going to break ground and build a couple of homes, I opened up a beauty salon for my wife and I am co-owner with my brothers and sister and we employ 45 people. I have had the desire in my heart to do good in my life and I have accomplished it don’t talk to me about that there is no equality, I am living proof that there is equality. Being a productive member of society is not easy, that’s why people rather get handouts. Today I walk tall, brown, and with dignity. VIVA LA RAZA

In truth, you rarely see afro-Latino actors or actresses working in any real numbers anywhere. Those who do get steady work are in roles as African Americans. The numbers and success stories really do not have the critical mass to be able to generate capital for that kind of undertaking. African Americans are the second largest group of millionaires in the United States and we have only begun to be able to tell our own stories in the past 15 years. Even so in a very limited fashion. to make what you suggest happen they would require a lot of support from the African American community. A community that is not really sure if the Latino community is in community with them when it counts. Time will tell.
@doubleutee8867

@@clementmckenzie7041 Well, you know something? You make very valid points. The reason I'm very interested in such an undertaking is, let's just say, I have a very sympathetic spirit. We'll go more into that in a bit. Anyway, as far as I can ascertain in my mini research, it was Black America's Carter G. Woodson who initiated "Black History Week" for the month of February. Black leadership, intellectuals, press members, and others helped propel the idea that would eventually evolve with congressional political support into what we formally have today as "Black History Month". In the contemporary politico-cultural climate there has been an intentional expedition by many in the Afro-Latino community to consciously push the idea of celebrating Afro-Latino heritage in the month of February as opposed to the months of September - October: Hispanic Heritage Month. Thing is, yeah, I agree with your detection, "Even so in a very limited fashion. to make what you suggest happen they would require a lot of support from the African American community." Black Americans endowed in the arts with proven empowerment capabilities whom are conscious enough to detect "mutinous" behavior would be suspicious of assisting someone's community whom they feel may have the proclivity of charlatans in their psychological development as pertaining to their success story: if they either fail to give credit to where credit is due, or if they speak out contrary political ambitions that sooth say the true root of where the assistance began. I on the other hand, am hoping for a beautiful mutual love story. For my entire life, I grew up as a Black American, and my mind was always wired in the thinking of a Black American. Then again, I took a ancestry genetic test a few years back, and of my 3 genetic groups, 2 were Black American genetic groups; however, 1 is a Puerto Rican genetic group. It's confidence level is higher than 1 of the Black American groups. That shocked the mess outta me. The company informed me I have ancestors in Puerto Rico. The difference is, most Afro-Puertorriquenos know about it, but somehow, someway, something got broken in my family lineage, or for whatever reason hidden, or taken as no big deal, and it likely happened in the 1800's. That DNA 'marker' is still inside me. My fiance is Puerto Rican but we didn't know about me til after the test. It's almost as if a supernatural mutual genetic recognition happened that brought us together; yet, I grew up in a shared Black American - Puerto Rican community; therefore, I am no stranger to the Puerto Rican community as if I grew up in Seattle. Anyway, gotta run. Thanks for the comment.

Correction , mestizo is white and indigenous, zambo is indigenous and black, mulatto is white and black
We can't generalize that all "LatinX" folks had dealt with colorism in our families. Firstly, education helps, a lot! And, education of self, history, and culture were a blessing in my family. We were "woke" before the term was co-opted by white racist Americans. We define ourselves. Nobody else does or has the power to do it. I've tried to engage and educate ignorant people within white America and within our own communites, and I have to say it's exhausting and, most times, gets contentious. I've always defined myself and was vilified for it. I was also asked to choose my identity several times. I can't deny any aspect of myself and culture. To ask anyone to do that is f'd up. But to be Black is not a definer. Black like who? White like who? Indigenous like who? There's nuance to all of this, and labels over simplify who we are as mixed people, especially when we ask folks, "Are you black ?" Or what are you? That can mean a lot of different things to a lot of people. Bottom line Europe really got us f'd up😂😂 But it's really up to us to define and know who we are. White America could give two f's about us. So, let's drop the in fighting and educate ourselves and also have compassion for each other no matter what stage of self-awareness we're at? Sadly, we're all victims of colonialism, colorism, and tribalism. It's also a part of the human condition. Just don't get stuck in it. We have too much as human beings to contend with. Higher consciousness is the job of all human beings in addition to a consciousness of our environment, resources, etc...
