@jacobR1377 Kalimba is Afro Mexican & so is Giovani Dos Santos who father is actually Brazilian. Afro Mexicans historically have been located in certain communities, most notably in two coastal areas of Guerrero and Oaxaca (called Costa Chica), and in parts of Veracruz, Colima, Campeche, and Quintana Roo. ach group is respectively named by their race, ethnicity, nationality, or phenotype alone. Afro-Mexicans are usually just called "Negros" or "Morenos" (Spanish for Black)
When the new Explorers came to the new world from Spain in 1492 a majority were Hispanic. Columbus from Italy, & also Portuguese & all these were from Latin Europe. Columbus actually name Hispaniola real name was La isla Espanola but the name was shortened in Latin to Hispaniola. On that island of Hispaniola were Taino or natives of the island who were dying off at a rapid rate due to disease & so a Decade later African Enslavement began & 2 decades is when mass importation of slaves came 1517
Well yea true, a bunch of mestizos predominate that country followed by the kriols, gosh that country is diverse but why SHYNE??? and that other afro lady? they are west indian
@fuckrock67 I went based on what I could find. Do you know of any other people from there that are well known here in the US? Now, that I think about it, both of them got a bad rep... I didn't realize that before. ooops!
@miacruz9 Actually Belize is not considered a Latin Country.
Belize is a former British colony It's not a Spanish or Portuguese colony there4 it's not considered part of Latin America u should feel proud of ur heritage Belize is a beautiful country with its own unique identity In Central America the other nations consider Belize a neighbor & respect her as such despite being different However people in da country don't identify as Latino or Hispanic Belize is a member of da Caribbean Community
@miacruz9 English is also the official language of Belize but it isn't the first language. Spanish is spoken by 46 percent of the population while 33% speak Kriol. Many people of Belize speak English well but do not use it as their primary language.
Just wanted to bring it to your attention because the people of Belize don't consider themselves Latinos but call themselves Kriols just which is basically the same as Lousiana but spelled Creole.
@miacruz9 Belize has a sizeable proportion of Africans from the ancient Kingdom of Kongo, who could have brought the name with them, as there is a Belize in Angola as well. English is the official language of Belize, a former British colony. Although only 4 percent of the population speaks it as their first language, a majority speak English very well. Kriol is spoken as the first language of 33 percent of Belizeans.
@miacruz9 . It is considered by some linguists to be a dialect of English, as the two are mutually intelligible. About 75 to 80 percent of the population speak some Kriol and English.
About Spanish
Spanish is spoken by 46% of the population but it is not a Hispanic or Latino country or part of Latin America.
@fuckrock67 It is not a Latin country it only has strong ties to its Latin America Neighbors.. Belize is culturally unique among its Central American neighbours; it is the only nation in the region with a British colonial heritage. As a part of the Western Caribbean Zone, however, it also shares a common heritage with the Caribbean portions of other Central American countries.
@sportsmarvel umm not the mestizos, most belizean mestizos have spanish roots, many of them came from the yucatan and quintana roo during the caste war as well as the spanish folks who live there
@fuckrock67 Well like they say their are exceptions to every rule and their is a Latin Population but the country itself is not a Latin country Just like Texas, California, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico Nevada, Utah, and Florida is part of the United States but their are Latinos.
honestly if they werent born in a latin country or celebrate latin holidays or SPEAK SPANISH as their FIRST LANGUAGE then they really arent hispanic or latino. Because it is not a race its an ethinicity/culture
@killacalred Well actually did U know that Spain inhabited much of the southern part of United States. So U R gonna tell me people in Florida R not Hispanic/Latino? I mean Florida was founded by Ponce De Leon Also U R gonna tell me California Arizona New Mexico Nevada Colorado & Texas just to name a few that were founded by & many of the cities like Los Angeles & San Antonio are not Hispanic/Latino I think u better read your history books & read up on Hispano & Latino. hint Hispania or Latim
@killacalred their are many Hispanic/Latinos in North America that actually received land grants from the King of Spain who was also ruled part of Italy Naples & Sicily to be exact that was part of Latin Europe. Their are Hiispanic/Latino families that have been in the modern day United States in Florida like Miami, Texas like San Antonio or much of South Texas before their was even an English colony. first English colony was founded in 1607 & the Spanish were already in California.
@sportsmarvel what does that have to do with me sayin Carmelo anthony is black or Fabolous is black.. I dint deny anything you said but it seems like you are denying what i said.
@killacalred Oh yes you are right they are black. I wasn't talking about them I was say that many people don't know that Spanish arrived in the United States b4 the English came & founded many towns in the southwest. What I am talking about is Hispano's who have been in the U.S in towns & cities founded by the Spanish. Look up Eva Longoria story on PBS American lives The Longoria family’s roots in Texas run back to a time before Texas even existed. Lorenzo Longoria,
@killacalred Through the generations, Lorenzo’s descendants moved north to the modern US-Mexico border. In 1767, Pedro Longoria, Eva’s 7th great-grandfather, received almost 4000 acres along the Rio Grande in a land grant from the King of Spain. This land stayed in the family for over a century, enduring even the influx of Anglo settlers in the aftermath of the Civil War. Though Eva celebrates her “Tex-Mex” heritage, she recognizes that a significant part of her bloodline runs back to Europe.
@sportsmarvel oh yeah i knew that.. i love history, i was merely pointing out that hispanic is a culture not a race. its like most "black people" in MLB are hispanic, but also black at the same time. to me it seemed like the video was only saying that they were :hispanic"
@killacalred Well it is good that you love history but the funny thing is that MLB has got it wrong. Hispanic comes from the word Hispania which was what the Romans used to identify Spain. Although "Hispania" is the Latin root for the modern name "Spain", substituting Spanish for Hispanicus or Hispanic, or Spain for Hispania, When Spain got its independence from Roman Empire they changed their name to Espana which is basically sounds the same just spelled differently.
@killacalred So when people used Hispano the american version Hispanic it means they are saying their motherland is Spain. Latin Europe comprised of Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, & Romania & when people would go to Rome they would be asked from where are you from. If they were from Spain they would say Hispania. to identify where they are from. So when 2 Spanish citizens came to the new world & settled in the new world like Florida or California they would use Hispanos or Hispanic.
@killacalred Latinos/Latinas are the offspring of a union between 2 people from different places in Latin Europe. Example 1 person from Rome & another from Spain or Spain & Portugal or Portugal & France, or France & Romania their offspring would B Latinos/Latinas so in the new world a Spanish man would marry a Portuguese woman or vise versa their offspring would B Latinos/Latinas Meaning they were from Latin Europe. The kid would be from 2 places so instead of saying 1 place Latin Europe used.
@killacalred Now on the island of Hispaniola their are 3 peoples 1 who are Native to the island, 2nd that are from Hispania & the Latin Region of Europe & 3rd those that were brought from Africa to Hispaniola. In 1542 the Taino population was so depleted that the census reported only 5000 a loss of 98% of the population in about 4 to 5 decades. In 1574, a census taken of the Greater Antilles, reported 1,000 Spaniards and 12,000 African slaves on Hispaniola now modern day Dominican Republic.
@killacalred This is why MLB is so wrong because much of the Dominican Republic truthfully can trace their roots back to Africa not to Hispania or Latin Europe. I would say about 80% to 90% given the census numbers. People think that Hispanic/Latino was made up by the American government but it was not it was actually used by a people to identify from where their ancestors came from.
@killacalred When I said census numbers I meant the original census numbers that are not tainted under mixed race. Since Trujillo pushed to whiting the race called Blanquismo campaign. What happen is that many Taino died off due to disease & many Spanish left for the New world to get more gold once it was over mined on the island of Hispaniola & virtually dried up or for more land to claim in the new world. Also with pirates that island was were unstable & dangerous place to live.
@sportsmarvel right now you are really educating people. the funny thing is blacks from the caribbean and south america still to this day know what part of africa they are from and still celebrate some of the customs since they were removed from africa. aslo not many people know this but there are some mexicans with black ancestory from american slaves that went into mexico a couple hundred years ago.
@killacalred Afro Mexicans historically have been located in certain communities, most notably in two coastal areas of Guerrero and Oaxaca (called Costa Chica), and in parts of Veracruz, Colima, Campeche, and Quintana Roo. Yes Mexico was the first to have a Black President Vicente Guerro & also first country to abolish slavery well in Latin America after Haiti. Some of the Afro Mexicans in Yucatán relocated to Belize, where there is an African presence.
@sportsmarvel In Chiapas Mexico one out of twenty people have curly hair typical of the afrodescendant. People there don't notice the difference anymore, unless they have lived in the USA, these people are just called Coste~os. I'm from Chiapas and people tell me that they thought I was Creole until they heard me speak Spanish.
@killacalred In recent years, Afro Mexican numbers been have increased by immigrants from Caribbean countries and even Africans who came as contract workers. Many Afro Mexicans have migrated elsewhere to improve themselves economically. Most went to the United States, where they are simply included in the general category of Hispanic Americans.The black population of New Spain in the very early sixteenth century constituted only about one percent of the total. Nueva Espana Modern day Mexico
@killacalred The black population of New Spain in the very early sixteenth century constituted only about one percent of the total.[4] However, by 1646 their number had grown to 35,089 due to the importation of many African slaves. The number declined in later years, and by 1742 only 15,980 remained Source Wikipedia under Afro Mexicans if u would like to know more about this subject. Just Like U.S.A Many countries have an African Population, Asian, Arab I think their is a china town everywhere
@killacalred Most are from West Africa region. The Portuguese even had a colony called Angola. & the Spanish have one called Equatorial Guinea if I am not mistaken. Portuguese is the official language of Angola & Spanish is for Equatorial Guinea although I believe they also many can speak Portuguese as well.
@killacalred that is true all they really had to do was go into Texas back in the day to reach Mexico because Texas or Tejas once belonged to Mexico. If they fled from Slavery all they had to do is enter in to Texas or many other Southwest states like New Mexico, Arizona Nevada California or even Colorado This is why you don't hear of many plantations or slaves in the southwest. like you here about in the South eastern part of the United States. In fact many Natives fled to Mexico for protection
@sportsmarvel Alot of Mexicans could trace their heritage back to europe and at the same time trace their other heritage back to the native americans.
"Alot of Mexicans could trace their heritage back to europe"
---
So, can black people. It still doesn't make you white. It is estimated that almost 90% of all blacks in the Americas have some white heritage. That estimate is larger than Mexicans owning white ancestors. However, blacks nor Mexicans can claim they are white. You sound like you want to be white so bad. But you are not. You are still a beaner when you wake up and fall asleep!
@mikedav9O Wow, first, I just simply stated a fact, Mexicans on average are 60-70% European to that of blacks being only 4-10% ,look it up.
Second, you are ignorant on what Mexicans are, Mexicans on average are Mestizos (Native/European),and Mestizos could look brown like George Lopez, tan like Eva Longoria (who 75% European), or white like the boxer Saul "El Canelo" Alvarez.
Also don't forget,Mexican is a nationality not a race,and there are over 15-20 million white Mexicans in Mexico.
First, Mexicans are not 60% - 70% European. Mexicans are more indigenous Indian than any other ethnicity. European is a nationality and not a race. 15 million white Mexicans prove only that white people are a minority in Mexico which further destroys your argument. I don't care about you being Mestizo. That still doesn't make you white. If you are 50% white or 80% white, that still does not make you white and the world doesn't see you as white. Do you get it now, beaner?
Wrong! There are no white people on this earth. Even the "white people" who claim to be white are really pink. You still are not white-Caucasian. Mestizo means mixed-race. No person can be white-Caucasian if they are mixed race. Listen to how stupid you sound. President Obama is also a Mestizo. According to your logic, he's white-Caucasian. WRONG! I have defeated your logic. You are just another beaner who wants to be white!
No. You are the idiot, because you did say that you were "white" (which in today's term means "white-Caucasian). Here is your direct quote, right here, dumb ass BEANER:
[["And third, you say that I want to be white so bad? I'm already white"]]
If Obama is a mulatto, then you are too. You are both mixed with white. Son, we are typing on a white background. Tell me what race of people is the same color as this background. NONE! Your stupid ass!
@mikedav9O That term "white" is only used in the U.S., Canada,U.K. Australia and other english speaking countries to refer to white-caucasians only, which is wrong since east asian Mongoloids could be "white" as well as Mestizos and Mulattos. Mestizos are people of NATIVE Mongoloid and Caucasian ancestry.
Mulattos are people of NEGROID (black) and Caucasian ancestry.
Now when I used the term white to describe myself, i was referring to my skin tone, not my race,dumbass.
Asians are not white. You are merely trying to flip the definition of white on its head so that you may be included in the white race. That's all you are doing. Son, you are not white. Even your children will not be white because of you. You are a beaner.
@mikedav9O That is exactly right. If you are not fully white u r not considered White Also Tony Romo's last name is Spanish & even his real 1rst name Antonio He is classified as Mexican Ancestry Derek Jeter he is half African American & half White. Jeter classified as African American Apollo Ono is half Asian half Caucasian Asian American U will never B considered white Read Barak Obama's book "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own.
@sportsmarvel It's a color, white caucasian and white mongoloid. Just like Brown Caucasians like indians and Brown Mongoloids. It's got nothing to do with trying to include Asians as white european caucasians, it's just saying facts in that some asians got pale white skin, just like some asians are brown.
Also some of us just go by looks and skin color not what mixes they may have. If people went by mixes then, Thomas Jefferson wouldn't be white for havning North African DNA same as Hitler.
And third, you say that I want to be white so bad? I'm already white, I'm a white-mestizo, I'm mix but I look more European.( also, i made a video in my channel to show how mestizos come in many colors)
Now let me ask you something, what is your ethnicity and race? Are you a Salvadorian? Just asking cause every time I encounter someone ignorant on this issue it always a Salvadorian .
By the way, a beaner is someone who eats beans, and not even mexican eats beans..
@killacalred I made this video for fun, I didn't get into the whole ethnic/cultural/racial/nationality because it gets complicated. I also know that Latinos are not only from the countries that are in the video, but those who speak the latin language. That includes "languages" that are not Spanish... but then that's a whole different topic and i would have a lot more explaining to do lol so i just left the description simple as "latinos"
@killacalred Here is the problem with this. Actually the term Latinos was first used - The term "Latin America" was used for the first time in the nineteenth century when the French occupied Mexico (1862–1867), leading to the Second Mexican Empire, and wanted to be included in what was considered Spanish America. source wikipedia
Mexicans were the first people to be called or referred to as Latinos in the Americas.
A huge part of North America was part of Mexico the southwest.
@killacalred Many Mexicans live in States that use to belong to Mexico like California, Tejas or Texas now, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado & Utah or in cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Fernando, Santa Clara, Las Vegas, San Antonio, Laredo, El Paso, Alamo, Palo Alto, Mission, ect ect. Many Mexicans became Mexican American and not all Speak Spanish but celebrate Cinco de Mayo and other Mexican Holidays and their Mexican Ancestry & culture and customs.
@killacalred One reason Hispanic advocates claim the assimilation of Hispanics in the U.S. is not comparable to that of other cultural groups is that Hispanic and Latino Americans have been living in parts of North America for centuries, in many cases well before the English-speaking culture became dominant. For example, California, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico (1598), Arizona, - First English settlement 1607 & first successful English settlement 1621. Nina Pinta & Santa Maria sailed in 1492
@killacalred Nevada, Florida and Puerto Rico have been home to Spanish-speaker people since the 16th century long before the U.S. gained independence from Great Britain. These and other Spanish-speaking territories were part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain & later Mexico (with exception of Florida & Puerto Rico) b4 these regions joined or were taken by the United States in 1848 Some cities in the U.S. were founded by Spanish settlers in the 16th century, prior to the creation of the 13 Colonies.
@killacalred America itself was named after and Italian amerigo vespucci who was Italian. We all know that Latin or the Latin Tribe began and came from Italy as well as Columbus who sailed for Spain and along with the Portuguese established most of the Latin American countries in the Americas.
Negro Latinos or Black Latinos are Latinized blacks who were cultivated & learned the language so they could communicate and teach it to the slaves that would be imported to the new world. They also adopted the cultures that were based of Latin.
Latino did not start in the New world like many people want to suggest it started way before the new world. It is like a Caucasian couple adopting an African baby and he grown up in that family. He will get their last name. He will learn their custom and culture and will become anglicized just like the Africans in Latin America were Latinized.
Latinos Origin started in Europe so Latinos are actually are Europeans & it began in Italy. The Latino countries in Europe are Italy Spain Portugal France Romania, & were formed under the Roman Empire It had nothing to do with Africans & Africans in the New world were actually brought over 2 B slaves & it was never envisioned they would be freed Da Latins were a tribe in Italy and they spread Language Religion Roman Catholicism, as well as Identity & culture
The entire Latino culture would not come to exist if it were not for African slaves and the mixing of European and indigenous people in these countries.
Here is the deal the Spanish actually founded the south of North America. Example
Florida, Texas, California New Mex Arizona & the people who settled there had offspring who were not from Latin America but R Latinos Being Latin American has nothing to do with being from a Latin American country When Spanish lost control of the Southern States & it became part of the US their was a huge Hispanic/Latino Population who named cities like Miami, San Antonio, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Fe ect
Belize is generally not considered part of Latin America. They are an English-speaking country, sharing a cultural influence from the British Empire, like some of the Caribbean islands.
I have heard & read where Dominicans & Puertoricans are now wanting to be called caribeano instead of Latino/Latina due to the fact they feel they have more indo blood then Spanish or African blood. In fact that is what most black color people are called in the Dominican Republic is Indio. Many are tired of trying to justify that they are Hispanic/Latino so they rather avoid the label since they are not consider to be. Others want Afro Descendientes because they feel its more accurate label.
Many people say well the reason is because of the Romance Language because it is derived from Latin that people call themselves Latino. Where did the language originate from? Europe of course Again the original Latinos were from Italy and created the Roman 'Empire who countries language was based of Latin. Italy, Spain, Portugal France Romania - Consider to be part of the White race - Descendants founded Latin America - Columbus Italian - Sailing in Spanish ships for the King & Queen of Spain
Black in Latin America Haiti & the Dominican Republic: An Island Divided
Just type in google search bar link below
video.pbs org/video/1877436791/
I was reading a good point by a few people that the Caribbean should be called the Afro Caribbean & not be called Latin America because it is not even in the Americas & the majority of the population of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, & all other islands is majority of Afro Descendants. Opinions
Ok just to add more credibility to what I have said listen to this if you under stand Spanish I will also translate for you both in English & Spanish in the comment section of the youtube video. Read the why is that Antonio Banderas, Penolope Cruz the one below Hot chocolate comment then go to the video of the link below
Why is it that Antonio Banderas Penolope Cruz who are Spanish get mistaken
for Latino & play Latino parts? Why is it that Tiziano Ferro & Laura pausini who are Italian can cross over so easily& sing in Spanish? Why because Latino has a typical look I read where Lala Vasquez who doesn't even say here name correctly was stating that she would not be consider for the typical Latina parts Well their is a reason for that she is not a typical Latina Zoe Saldana made the same statement It is crazy
Latin is a Lenguage that originated in Europe Italy to be precise. This is why Latinos have European traits & share similar genetic features. I guess to put it simple a Latino could go to Spain, Portugal or Italy and be mistaken for a citizen due similar features. Example Sofia Vergara She could go to Italy, Spain or Portugal and blend in quite easy. Now if Sammy Sosa or David Ortiz went they would think he is African even Rosario Dawson or Zoe Saldana would be classified as African.
Now their are many Spanish names that are from Italy orgin. Roman, Romero, & Romo just to name a few. oh yeah and guess what the Spanish brought to the New world? Religion. What Religion you may ask.-----. Roman Catholicism------- & were their to convert the indigenous people as well as the imported slaves from Africa. Gee I wonder who brought Roman Catholicism to Spain maybe the Romans. Just a guess well maybe not. This is why the majority of Latin America is Roman Catholic
Lets start with Italian girls to see if we can see similarities Why did I include Spanish & Italian girls? because this is the foundation of the Latino look. It is a fair to light complected look. It can also come from Portugal, Romania, & even France. I want to say that a person can have Native American or Amerindian or Afro descendent's blood and could look latino/latina but it is like a super fine line and I want to say their is nothing wrong with that either. Their is a Typical Look 4 Latins
Now what is the typical Latino look or who really falls under Hispanic/Latino
People
Remember rulers in Italy were white so they can be fair skinned & light eyes. August Caesar for example
Now also remember the King & Queen of Spain Fair Skin. Ferdinand II of Aragon & Isabella I of Castile & Leon. Ferdinand was king of Aragon, Sicily, Naples & Valencia Do they sound familiar they are Italy
type in Ferdinand II of Aragon in Wikipedia for more information.Now what is the typical Latino look or who really falls under Hispanic/LatinoPeopleRemember rulers in Italy were white so they can be fair skinned & light eyes. August Caesar for exampleNow also remember the King & Queen of Spain Fair Skin. Ferdinand II of Aragon & Isabella I of Castile & Leon. Ferdinand was king of Aragon, Sicily, Naples & Valencia Do they sound familiar they are Italy
Take for example Tony Romo his dad is Mexican & his mom is Caucasian but Hispanic Latinos had fair skin could have light eyes. Now examine his name and you can see that it is Romo. Their are Spanish names that sound Italian. Like Roman, or Romero which can shed lights on roots and ancestry.
The truth is Hispanic Latino is a misused by many in the Caribbean & the Americas due to the lack of research of history & ignorance. However it is changing many people are not using Afro Cuban or Afro Colombian or Afro Brazilian or even more correct Afro Descendente copy and paste video below for this awesome song and video in address bar
if you know Spanish or even if you don't this is a good Telenovela based on a true story though like a movie not all historical facts are correct. It is based on a Colombian Heroine who revolted against the Spanish. La Pola
Just paste in address bar above. I just started from where I was at.
Latinos came from Italy and established their presence in the Iberian peninsula. If you look at a old Roman maps they called Spain Roman Hispania If you take Italian and move around the letters you get Latin the language spoke by many of Romans territories. Romantico is derived from Roman and in English is Romance.
@sportsmarvel and what mexico all the way to the tip of south america doesn't have italian blood in them? I can easily understand an italian without taking any italian classes.... doesn't that tell you something?
When the Spanish invaded the new world they were Spanish and eventually Criollo people meaning the people of Spanish decent but born in the new world. Now if you were born in the new world & not born in Spain you could be discriminated & not given high positions. The Hispanic/Latino was the new name of these people born in the new world that were born in the Americas of Spanish decent.
It was just a way to trace your roots to where you were from originally. If you were noble origin many could trace their roots back to Rome in Roman Hispania and they called themselves the Latinos. Eventually it became one Hispanic/Latino but then the new Name became Espana when the Roman Empire fell and people just called themselves Spanish or espanoles.
Example if y0u say you are Hispanic and you are from the Americas you are saying your ancestors came from Spain & if you said Latino you are saying that your roots go all the way back to Italy. Really Spanish & Italian are super similar languages and if you speak one well then many of the words can be easily identified.
Now if you are saying that you can call Sammy Sosa & Felix Trinadad Latinos or even Hispanic you are saying that they can trace their roots to Spain or Italy & their family roots are European. Now if you say that of Selena Gomez, Ricky Martin, or Christopher Columbus it would actually make sense.
Just an example Christopher Columbus offspring would need a way to connect with the homeland of their ancestors so Latino would make this connection. A lot of Roman soldiers married women from Hispania and this is another reason people make the connection to Italy & the Spanish which is how Hispanic/Latino was derived.
Now if you say Afro Latino it makes the connection to African origin & you are from Latin America. Words are not just there they mean something. It is a way to identify where you are from.
Now Just because you eat Bannas and they are called Platinos or it chicken & rice or Arroz con pollo on the same Island doesn't mean you have the same roots. A good example of this is the Dominican Republic Sammy Sosa & Alfonso Soriano both have Spanish names but if you comapire them to Evan Longoria & Jorge Posada you see a difference.
MLB will call all of them Latin Player however it is not really correct. Example many of the MLB Players from Cuba actually avoid Latino and call themselves Afro Cuban so their is no confusion. Why because of the racism that existed in the island & never being accepted as a true Latino. Afro roots African & 2nd part from Cuba.
Now the difference in the Dominican Republic was they need to convince the Africans to fight for on the side of the Hispanic/Latinos by convincing them they were not African but Latinos.
Haiti was the first black independent nation and want to end slavery throughout the island. In order to form resistance you need man power & the rest is basically easy to figure out. This is why their is so much racism between Dominicans & Haitians. This is why Dominicans call themselves Latinos/Latinas & not Afro Dominicans
Their is a saying that if you tell a lie enough times people will actually believe it. Example Rush Limbaugh/Glenn Beck/Shawn Hannity saying Barak Obama is a Muslim. This is incorrect he is a Christian however they continue to say it & ignorant & easily manipulated people believe it. Same with the birthers saying he was born in Kenya. Their are morons in the world that believe lies that are intended to manipulate them.
You see Tori Hunter was right Sammy Sosa is an Impostor but he has it the wrong way. If you bleach your skin to be lighter and put in green eye contacts you are then crossing the line & saying you are of a different origin. However if Tori Hunter is to stupid to understand history that is just ignorance & should maybe read a few more books about the African diaspora.
Tori's Ancestors just got sent to North America while Sammy Sosa stayed in the D.R or Hispaniola. tori doesn't have the exclusive rights to Blackness or is he the Spokesmen for Africans since he has not real knowledge of the history of Slavery. What he may want to do is do some research and get the facts before speaking about who is black and who is not black.
The reason Tori Hunter says Sammy Sosa is not black is because you will see Sammy Sosa attend the Latin Grammys and other Latin events however have u ever seen him attend the BET awards or other events that are for black people. Probably because he doesn't consider himself a black person.
However he is not the only one. Rosario Dawson, started a movement to vote Latino but what has she ever done to help Africans represent themselves not just in the U.S but Latin America where they are under represented and not even counted. Where racism is high and many people are not considered of Latin Orgin? The answer is nothing.
If you were to ask people what races Rosario Dawson & Zoe Saldana look you would get African & if you asked Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato you would get Hispanic/Latina Why? Well because their is a look closely or typically associated with both that goes back centuries
Also some Native Americans helped and Joined in rebelling against the ruling Native American class who sacrificed many indigenous people. When they had the chance the changed side to help Europeans change their society. Of course their were abuses and even unjustified acts that were uncalled for by the Spanish Conquistadors
In fact the Caribbean & Brazil had the highest amount of Slaves imported. Each has 4 to 5 million range where America only had around half a million. Slavery was already practiced in Africa when the Europeans or Portuguese came to Africa. The first slaves were captured in war and made to work but once they were sold or exchange to Europeans they could be kidnapped or stolen against their will.
If you were to DNA test Torri Hunter & Sammy Sosa you probably find their are more related to each other than. Sammy Sosa & Oscar De La Hoya or Sofia Vergara I just wonder how many Julius Caesers or I mean Julio Cesars were named after the after the Roman Emperor in Spain when he reigned over the Roman Empire?
Real talk, some people think latinos look one way, they come as diverse as the american spectrum of people, also many different last names, majority of the people in Brazil and Argentina are Italian and Germany decent, in Argentina they say they are a bunch of Italians that speak bad spanish lol One love.
@jahmaicajames actually brazil has the largest black population outside of nigeria... meaning there are more black ppl there than in any other african country accept for one... they do have a sizable amount ppl who are german or italian but it is a huge stretch to say the majority of them are from those 2 countries when about 85% of brazilians are decendents of africans and about 45% are black... brazil also has the largest japanese population outside of japan
Actually, Alfonso Riberio is Trinidadian American. He is not Dominican.
Trinidad and Tobago does have a Spanish heritage though. Its Latin roots are mainly Spanish and French when looking at the culture and some of its history.
@chsn09 Thank you for pointing that out! I just googled it and and you are right! I guess my first resource was wrong..... Tatyana Ali, is also half Trinidadian, and half Panamanian.
belize was part of guatemala but once they became independent and go with england there hispanization was lost

Afro Mexicans historically have been located in certain communities, most notably in two coastal areas of Guerrero and Oaxaca (called Costa Chica), and in parts of Veracruz, Colima, Campeche, and Quintana Roo. ach group is respectively named by their race, ethnicity, nationality, or phenotype alone.

When the new Explorers came to the new world from Spain in 1492 a majority were Hispanic. Columbus from Italy, & also Portuguese & all these were from Latin Europe. Columbus actually name Hispaniola real name was La isla Espanola but the name was shortened in Latin to Hispaniola. On that island of Hispaniola were Taino or natives of the island who were dying off at a rapid rate due to disease & so a Decade later African Enslavement began & 2 decades is when mass importation of slaves came 1517

This land stayed in the family for over a century, enduring even the influx of Anglo settlers in the aftermath of the Civil War. Though Eva celebrates her “Tex-Mex” heritage, she recognizes that a significant part of her bloodline runs back to Europe.

killacalred 5 months ago
@killacalred Well it is good that you love history but the funny thing is that MLB has got it wrong. Hispanic comes from the word Hispania which was what the Romans used to identify Spain. Although "Hispania" is the Latin root for the modern name "Spain", substituting Spanish for Hispanicus or Hispanic, or Spain for Hispania, When Spain got its independence from Roman Empire they changed their name to Espana which is basically sounds the same just spelled differently.
sportsmarvel 5 months ago
@killacalred So when people used Hispano the american version Hispanic it means they are saying their motherland is Spain. Latin Europe comprised of Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, & Romania & when people would go to Rome they would be asked from where are you from. If they were from Spain they would say Hispania. to identify where they are from. So when 2 Spanish citizens came to the new world & settled in the new world like Florida or California they would use Hispanos or Hispanic.
sportsmarvel 5 months ago
@killacalred Latinos/Latinas are the offspring of a union between 2 people from different places in Latin Europe. Example 1 person from Rome & another from Spain or Spain & Portugal or Portugal & France, or France & Romania their offspring would B Latinos/Latinas so in the new world a Spanish man would marry a Portuguese woman or vise versa their offspring would B Latinos/Latinas Meaning they were from Latin Europe. The kid would be from 2 places so instead of saying 1 place Latin Europe used.

@killacalred Now on the island of Hispaniola their are 3 peoples 1 who are Native to the island, 2nd that are from Hispania & the Latin Region of Europe & 3rd those that were brought from Africa to Hispaniola. In 1542 the Taino population was so depleted that the census reported only 5000 a loss of 98% of the population in about 4 to 5 decades. In 1574, a census taken of the Greater Antilles, reported 1,000 Spaniards and 12,000 African slaves on Hispaniola now modern day Dominican Republic.
sportsmarvel 5 months ago
@killacalred This is why MLB is so wrong because much of the Dominican Republic truthfully can trace their roots back to Africa not to Hispania or Latin Europe. I would say about 80% to 90% given the census numbers. People think that Hispanic/Latino was made up by the American government but it was not it was actually used by a people to identify from where their ancestors came from.
sportsmarvel 5 months ago
@killacalred When I said census numbers I meant the original census numbers that are not tainted under mixed race. Since Trujillo pushed to whiting the race called Blanquismo campaign. What happen is that many Taino died off due to disease & many Spanish left for the New world to get more gold once it was over mined on the island of Hispaniola & virtually dried up or for more land to claim in the new world. Also with pirates that island was were unstable & dangerous place to live.

Take for example Tony Romo his dad is Mexican & his mom is Caucasian but Hispanic Latinos had fair skin could have light eyes. Now examine his name and you can see that it is Romo. Their are Spanish names that sound Italian. Like Roman, or Romero which can shed lights on roots and ancestry.

The truth is Hispanic Latino is a misused by many in the Caribbean & the Americas due to the lack of research of history & ignorance. However it is changing many people are not using Afro Cuban or Afro Colombian or Afro Brazilian or even more correct Afro Descendente copy and paste video below for this awesome song and video in address bar

if you know Spanish or even if you don't this is a good Telenovela based on a true story though like a movie not all historical facts are correct. It is based on a Colombian Heroine who revolted against the Spanish. La Pola
Just paste in address bar above. I just started from where I was at.

Latinos came from Italy and established their presence in the Iberian peninsula. If you look at a old Roman maps they called Spain Roman Hispania If you take Italian and move around the letters you get Latin the language spoke by many of Romans territories. Romantico is derived from Roman and in English is Romance.

When the Spanish invaded the new world they were Spanish and eventually Criollo people meaning the people of Spanish decent but born in the new world. Now if you were born in the new world & not born in Spain you could be discriminated & not given high positions. The Hispanic/Latino was the new name of these people born in the new world that were born in the Americas of Spanish decent.

It was just a way to trace your roots to where you were from originally. If you were noble origin many could trace their roots back to Rome in Roman Hispania and they called themselves the Latinos. Eventually it became one Hispanic/Latino but then the new Name became Espana when the Roman Empire fell and people just called themselves Spanish or espanoles.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
Example if y0u say you are Hispanic and you are from the Americas you are saying your ancestors came from Spain & if you said Latino you are saying that your roots go all the way back to Italy. Really Spanish & Italian are super similar languages and if you speak one well then many of the words can be easily identified.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
Now if you are saying that you can call Sammy Sosa & Felix Trinadad Latinos or even Hispanic you are saying that they can trace their roots to Spain or Italy & their family roots are European. Now if you say that of Selena Gomez, Ricky Martin, or Christopher Columbus it would actually make sense.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
Just an example Christopher Columbus offspring would need a way to connect with the homeland of their ancestors so Latino would make this connection. A lot of Roman soldiers married women from Hispania and this is another reason people make the connection to Italy & the Spanish which is how Hispanic/Latino was derived.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
Now if you say Afro Latino it makes the connection to African origin & you are from Latin America. Words are not just there they mean something. It is a way to identify where you are from.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
Now Just because you eat Bannas and they are called Platinos or it chicken & rice or Arroz con pollo on the same Island doesn't mean you have the same roots. A good example of this is the Dominican Republic Sammy Sosa & Alfonso Soriano both have Spanish names but if you comapire them to Evan Longoria & Jorge Posada you see a difference.

MLB will call all of them Latin Player however it is not really correct. Example many of the MLB Players from Cuba actually avoid Latino and call themselves Afro Cuban so their is no confusion. Why because of the racism that existed in the island & never being accepted as a true Latino. Afro roots African & 2nd part from Cuba.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
Now the difference in the Dominican Republic was they need to convince the Africans to fight for on the side of the Hispanic/Latinos by convincing them they were not African but Latinos.

Haiti was the first black independent nation and want to end slavery throughout the island. In order to form resistance you need man power & the rest is basically easy to figure out. This is why their is so much racism between Dominicans & Haitians. This is why Dominicans call themselves Latinos/Latinas & not Afro Dominicans

Their is a saying that if you tell a lie enough times people will actually believe it. Example Rush Limbaugh/Glenn Beck/Shawn Hannity saying Barak Obama is a Muslim. This is incorrect he is a Christian however they continue to say it & ignorant & easily manipulated people believe it. Same with the birthers saying he was born in Kenya. Their are morons in the world that believe lies that are intended to manipulate them.

You see Tori Hunter was right Sammy Sosa is an Impostor but he has it the wrong way. If you bleach your skin to be lighter and put in green eye contacts you are then crossing the line & saying you are of a different origin. However if Tori Hunter is to stupid to understand history that is just ignorance & should maybe read a few more books about the African diaspora.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
Tori's Ancestors just got sent to North America while Sammy Sosa stayed in the D.R or Hispaniola. tori doesn't have the exclusive rights to Blackness or is he the Spokesmen for Africans since he has not real knowledge of the history of Slavery. What he may want to do is do some research and get the facts before speaking about who is black and who is not black.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
The reason Tori Hunter says Sammy Sosa is not black is because you will see Sammy Sosa attend the Latin Grammys and other Latin events however have u ever seen him attend the BET awards or other events that are for black people. Probably because he doesn't consider himself a black person.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
However he is not the only one. Rosario Dawson, started a movement to vote Latino but what has she ever done to help Africans represent themselves not just in the U.S but Latin America where they are under represented and not even counted. Where racism is high and many people are not considered of Latin Orgin? The answer is nothing.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
If you were to ask people what races Rosario Dawson & Zoe Saldana look you would get African & if you asked Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato you would get Hispanic/Latina Why? Well because their is a look closely or typically associated with both that goes back centuries
What race does Rosario Dawson look mostly?
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
Compaired to Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato who mostly got Hispanic/Latino or even Mexican. With Mexican their can be
a percent of Native American included depending on the person.
Example Hernan Cortes conquered the Aztec was the first to have a union with a Native princess who was his translator and guide.
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
Also some Native Americans helped and Joined in rebelling against the ruling Native American class who sacrificed many indigenous people. When they had the chance the changed side to help Europeans change their society. Of course their were abuses and even unjustified acts that were uncalled for by the Spanish Conquistadors
What race are Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato?
sportsmarvel 10 months ago
In fact the Caribbean & Brazil had the highest amount of Slaves imported. Each has 4 to 5 million range where America only had around half a million. Slavery was already practiced in Africa when the Europeans or Portuguese came to Africa. The first slaves were captured in war and made to work but once they were sold or exchange to Europeans they could be kidnapped or stolen against their will.

If you were to DNA test Torri Hunter & Sammy Sosa you probably find their are more related to each other than. Sammy Sosa & Oscar De La Hoya or Sofia Vergara I just wonder how many Julius Caesers or I mean Julio Cesars were named after the after the Roman Emperor in Spain when he reigned over the Roman Empire?

Real talk, some people think latinos look one way, they come as diverse as the american spectrum of people, also many different last names, majority of the people in Brazil and Argentina are Italian and Germany decent, in Argentina they say they are a bunch of Italians that speak bad spanish lol One love.

@jahmaicajames actually brazil has the largest black population outside of nigeria... meaning there are more black ppl there than in any other african country accept for one... they do have a sizable amount ppl who are german or italian but it is a huge stretch to say the majority of them are from those 2 countries when about 85% of brazilians are decendents of africans and about 45% are black... brazil also has the largest japanese population outside of japan

Actually, Alfonso Riberio is Trinidadian American. He is not Dominican.
Trinidad and Tobago does have a Spanish heritage though. Its Latin roots are mainly Spanish and French when looking at the culture and some of its history.
