Sudaka: A United Latin America

[Ric419]

SUDAKA is derogatory term from Spain, referring to South Americans.

[loveisloveluv]

Latin America alone is so diverse and people/countries in the region have different mentalities, cultures, concerns and goals. The idea of a "United Latin America" only makes me think that this will bring nothing but more challenges and conflicts as only very few countries inthe region are capable of achieving successful/transparent results that benefit the people. Instead poor countries should seek help from the ones that are on their way to developement and seek better standards 4 their ppl!

[PriestessLeah]

I am Native South American and I am VERY offended by the term "Latin America." Please refer to it as South and Central America. I don't think anyone of you would be able to tell a Cherokee that this is called "British America" and that he is a "Brit" because he is living here (the same as calling us southern Indians "Latin"). We are NOT "Latin"!

@PriestessLeah Do you speak spanish?, ¿Hablás castellano?, si es así entonces sos latina. Eso es todo lo que significa, que hablás un idioma romano o derivado de este. Con el que también adoptás algunas de sus costumbres -no digo que vos lo hagás-. Si hablaces frances o italiano o portugués también serias considerada latina. Mi intención no es ofenderte, sólo decirte que no hay porque enojarse. Saludos.

@ratonL una persona no es Latina por el solo hecho de hablar Castellano o adoptar costumbres, el hablar Espanol a lo maximo lo hace "Hispano" y el hablar un idioma no significa que automaticamente adoptas costumbres. Si yo me pongo a hablar en Chino no significa que soy ni tampoco me hace Chino por lo mas que yo me acerque a la cultura asiatica...America Latina es tan multicultural y diversa que hasta en la America Latina no todos son "Latinos"...si vos te vas a vivir a U.S.A sos gringo?...no!

@PriestessLeah why do you get so offended if I may ask? The region has been given its name solely to identify a group of countries... its just like saying south east asia or the middle east. In this case the countries in the region dont all share the same cultures (every country in the region is different, they are NOT all the same as some people might say) but the one thing that ties them all together are the languages spoken which all happen to be Latin languages, thus, Latin America.

united we stand but with communism we fall, democracy is the way.

5. ?

6. The U.S economy's embarrassing state of affairs is due to an unpoliced economy where companies loaned money that didnt exist. This suggests governments involvement in the economy is crucial.

[kendalkempsey]

4. The economy of the country will not grow when it is subservient to a greater powers' interests. The export price will be raised on the country's natural resources, which belong to the people of the given country, and have until recently been exported to the said greater power for an undignified amount, now providing more money for the government to reduce the rich poor gap, and leaving the same amount of money for consumers to spend on goods and services to grow the economy.

[kendalkempsey]

3. Everything is not shared, people who work harder are rewarded. There is greater impetuous given to supporting and educating the majority of poor people in the given country.

[kendalkempsey]

Thanks for providing some background.

What is being talked about in the film is not socialism, but a form of democracy that is more representative of the given country's population and it's interests.

1. In this form of government there is system of checks and balances, as is there a separation of power.

2. These leaders are only powerful because they are democratically elected and have popular support.

[kendalkempsey]

...But i see you have some bizarre fixation with homosexuality which isn't really helping your cause.

[dadecountyhustler305]

Lots of things but I'll name a few off the top of my head...

1. No system of checks and balances

2. Opens the door to corruption because of all powerful leaders.

3. Why should you work harder, when everything is shared.

4. To many taxes to pay for these programs. Very little left over money for the consumer to spend on goods and services to help grow the economy.

5. Kills motivation...

6. Every time the government get heavily involved with the economy it either collapses or sinks greatly...

[dadecountyhustler305]

You should watch a video about "socialist thanksgiving". Its very interesting and proves a lot of points

[kendalkempsey]

I'll check that video. You should watch a film called 'The War on Democracy' by John Pilger. It documents the United State's involvement and systematic intervention in the countries of Latin American and their democratically elected governments.

[dadecountyhustler305]

If Latin America thinks it can solve all its problems with socialism then its wrong. It may fix a few problems but it will bring a lot more.

And how dare this fucking homo compare hitler, stalin, and bush together. Fucking faggot bitch.

[dadecountyhustler305]

Actually I don't know why im getting all worked over a homo with a gay ass hair cut

[kendalkempsey]

If you could expand on your opinions with some examples or facts that would be great...

[ratonL]

@dadecountyhustler305 jjejje...he got a little bit over the top, huh?

[Nightz1111111]

Suduka means southern shit, you fools!

[kendalkempsey]

...suduka? fool

[mezzzico]

why in englis?

[kendalkempsey]

yo soy un cineasta inglés, entonces la idioma es inglés para educar a gente quen son ignorante...

...la gente de américa latina sabe su propia historia, no pienso que necesito educar ellos.

[Bluesgirl28]

Muy bueno el video. Thanks for your initiative K.

Proud Sudaka :)

[taisentetsu]

un sudaka que no habla en sudaka?

[gotten18]

sudakas dan ascoooooo

[kikemaiden]

mira... si damos asco, es por que viene de antes. so hubiesemos sido colonia inglesa, como intentaron entrar un par deveces en mi pais, argentin, no seriamos lo que somos. pero en cambio, fuimos colonia española, lo que nos dejo marcado para mal.

la verdad que no me interesa lo que diga una español sobre nosotros, ni nadie, pero pensalo.

[gotten18]

Que cojones tengo que pensar sudaquilla? Ojala y os encerrarn a todos en camaras de gas. Dais un asco te rrible, venis a españa a robar y a quitarnos el trabajo a los españoles? Pero de que vais? quedaos en vuestro puto pais sudacas de mierda

[kikemaiden]

recurrir a los insultos es mas facil que criticar con fundamentos. disculpame, pero que vamosa españa a robar?? quitarles el trabajo??

yo tengo el culo sentado en argentina, no se de que me hablas. mi apellido es español, para ser mas exactos, catalan. sabes por que? no se si te suena la emigracion hacia nuestra tierra durante las guerras mundiales, barcos llenos de españoles

[ratonL]

@gotten18 Tenés que admitir que te cago en argumentos. Vos sólo te hiciste quedar cómo arrogante, patán, racista...Nadie va a robar nada, solo a hacer los trabajos que ustedes no quieren tomar. Hoy por ti mañana por mi, ¿no es cierto?

[enrique097]

Latinamericas must first know their origin (the true origin of the Incas and Aztecas, the races where they come from, red and yellow races) before attempting to envision their destiny, the decisions of the today are better made in light of yesterday(past) and tomorrow(future). Read the Urantia Papers to know who are our ancestors.

[franklingra]

I am latin-American and I am proud to be it and i like my pies and I expect not to have that to go to another pies never in my life

[cruzpercy]

I hope it happens that Latin American countries become one nation or a confederation. The word sudaka is not known to many people in Latin America, and we shouldn't give it too much importance since it's a word created and probably still used in Spain. But it's a fact that there is still racism in Latin America and it's something to work on so we become more united as Latin Americans.
