Don't people realize that SOME so called Latinos are actually black as well?

Question

Such as Zoe Saldana (guess who) (drumline), Tatiana Ali (fresh prince of bel-air, Merlin Santana ( Romeo from steve harvey, Rosie Perez (Do the right thing, white men can't jump), Sammy Sosa (baseball player), Christina milian (singer) and Rick Gonzalez (Coach Carter, Roll Bounce). They might have other admixture just like most Blacks outside of African but at the end of the day they ARE black.

Answer 1

So? Some are white also. What are you trying to prove?

Answer 2

youre right, but not some ALOT.
i have been to brazil and puerto rico and they are black some of them are white but mostly they are mixed with black, native american and white

most of the slaves during the slave trade were brought to south america and the carribean

like black americans are not 100 percent african american
most of them have other stuff in them

all these latin country their african heritage has a lot to do with their culture now, so u shouldn't be suprised when u see that most latinos know how to do the dutty whine

brazil expeccially is influenced by it's african culture the way the move the type of music they listen to, how there bodies are shaped.

Answer 3

I hope that people realize that. They would be pretty ignorant not to. The Latino culture does have a reputation for disliking any link to being black. If you ever look at a Spanish language channel you would never know that Latino people come in many different shades from fair to dark dark brown. And any one who disputes needs a history lesson on how slaves were brought over to places like Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic by people from Spain, That is why they speak Spanish. The history is very similar to people from the west indian islands, and people consider them black.

Answer 4

Yes there are black Latinos, but mostly concentrated in the
Caribbean. The Spanish had African slaves as well as the English, Mostly for the sugarcane industry for the making of Caribbean rum.

Answer 5

Yes, I don't understand how people don't realize that; Latino is their ethnicity but black is their race; most black Latinos come from Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Panama, Cuba, and Colombia if I am correct

Answer 6

You forgot Giancarlo Esposito. RIP Merlin Santana!!!

Answer 7

Tell them that !!!!

The slave trade brought many blacks to Mexico. Old marriage records suggest mixed marriages existed e.g. if an Indian married a mulatto or if a mestizo married a black.

But, how many will acknowledge that ???

Answer 8

Did you know that all of us are actually "mixed race"....?
There is no such think as a "pure blood line" or a pure race...
it is just completely impossible.

There is no such thing as a "pure race" [such as the one Hitler attempted to create, unsuccessfuly].

I think it is a GOOD thing that we are ALL mixed races....
: )
I just wish we could all get along....

xoxox

Answer 9

that's like saying a latino who passes easily for being white is white at the end of the day,,it's just skin color

Answer 10

OMG! THANK YOU! That is so true...blacks are everywhere in South America...Like the Domonican Republic, Brazil, etc. They dont want to identify with us because we're americans...
