Fiesta Latina at the White House 2009

[Eclectic31]

does anyone know the name of the loser who sang that reggeton song? that was the worst performance ever!!

[MIGGZMUSIC]

QUE HORGULLO!! QUE VIVA LA RAZA!! ARRIBA CENTRO AMERICA, SUR AMERICA, MEXICO, PUERTO RICO, CUBA... AND ALL LATIN NATIONS!!

[KIZERVONZINGER]

Wepa Go my people show them how is done!!!!!!

[latina1499]

Great performance... Who is that guy Marc Anthony whispers too in 3:24 min... It looks a little fuzzy.

[elsadog9]

how are these cross-over successes

I am latina and none of these fuckers look like me!

[Xtrigit]

I have not seen the entire video but I would've liked to see more diversity here. From Black latinos to Asian latinos to Brown latinos to White latinos.

It kind of pisses me off to have to choose which box to check "white/caucasian" or "Hispanic/latino" when filling out forms.

It's annoying when you check the "hispanic/latino" box and people give you "that look" because you either don't look "latino" or just don't have a "spanish" last name.

*From someone who is tired of this nonsense.

[SPNSHBEUTE]

@Xtrigit true dat! frankly it's pretty offensive and although yes i am proud i am hispanic but i hate all that ooh she looks hispanic or she looks white shit

[congaddict]

I agree. At least I was glad to hear a Bomba Sica song from Puerto Rico sung by Gloria (Originates from the Ashanti people in West Africa transfered to those in Loiza and Ponce, PR).

[seurosuchil27]

los latinossss somos candelaaa y pasiooo ariva los latinozzzz y mi mexico lindo y keridoOoO

[Amfr33bitch]

Am so honor to be able to be a witness of all this!!! how far we have come ! who would of thought that we would see latinos and black in the white house partying! and the president being black!...smh..it feels sooo good to see this..!! que viva los latinos!

[cachito68]

[LANGEL1]

wow is so amazing we are in the white house stronger then ever Latinos estabos aldia

[Br3nda2607]

Exactly!!! Latinos ARRIBA!!!!

[nabrinar]

Im Mexican & if people want to classify me as Latino, Im all for it!! It is a wonderful thing!! I am truly blessed to be one of millions Mexican Americans out there! Call me Latino if you want, I will take it!

[Top100Guitarist]

without Jose Feliciano and his firsts musical crossover hit in USA and Grammy more than 40 years ago,

all this show today, at USA White House, was impossible.

So, Thank You Jose, the first crossover to change opportunities for all latin people

[JaeStar69]

I mean you might not be Latino if you chose not to be one but all I know Im Latino

[JaeStar69]

Mexicans are Latino. It's like saying Japanese are not Asian when they are part of asia Latino is from mexico all the way down to south america thats all latino

[webm22]

Don't believe me? Watch the Obama deception on youtube and other videos on youtube/google and yahoo etc. Even Michael Moore's latest film have some stuff to make you think about what's really going on!

[webm22]

Soon he'll create his "civilian" army (police state gives you a clue?) and the law was passed last spring though quietly, and I'm pretty sure Latins are on his hit list! Your kids are on his list and so you may be too for some other type of service! So don't let him con you again and fool you!!! He already lied to get elected and to me this is just another of his dirty tricks!

[Nyak81]

i think your watching too much alex jones

[webm22]

OK the music was just OK but let's face it, this is all about kissing up to each other. Latins should start using their own friggin brains and find out about Fraudbama's troubling and deceptive as well as puzzling past (like the fact his real name is Barry Seotoro and he never changed it legally) and using their brains when voting next time instead of their emotions! This guy has ties and affiliations and a mindset that make him dangerous...

[vgcq02]

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Karime18]

Fucking serious, you are suggesting me to read a book when you don't even know anything about the latin culture. Who the fuck do you think you are, you are so full of yourself. Get a fucking clue, are you seriously this ignorant or you pretending? never met someone so fucking retarded like you, seriously!

[Karime18]

"just pwnd you" LOL oh my god, are you serious? lol your comment made me laugh so hard! how stupid an ignorant are you? are you fucking kidding me? You think because you can copy and paste the title of a book, that instantly makes you smart?? fuck then we are all geniuses compared to you, fucktard! get a fucking clue and shove it up your ass you arrogant little FUCK! then after you have done than, reply with some respect.

[LizaLatin]

thats kool

[TheAxelrob]

thalia's pop-loaf fans at youtube removed jennifer's monologue.

bad taste and cheating as a way of life.

[Karime18]

Well for knowing the title of the book, doesn't necessarily mean you know the content of it! get a fucking clue dumb ass, what do you know about culture, and "tierra" when you don't even know what common sense is? This just shows me how ignorant and fucking retarded you are. And you expect people to understand you?

Get a fucking life, you dumbass stop embarrassing yourself!

[arielglory1]

mexican talent agent, thalia's, hijacks a Hispanic American event.

now we know who's running PBS.

[Mmecrevette01]

no importa de donde eres de donde tu estas siempre tedras sangre latina y tu tierra gravado en tu corazon!!!!!! orgullo hispano!!!

[perdejes]

uno tiene derecho a escribir en el idioma que desee, porque tanto problema, tenemos el privilegio de conocer y usar dos lenguas.

[julinadaleon]

son norteamericanos pero su lengua originaria no es la inglesa ademas no estoy poniendo en tela de juicio que aprendan otros idiomas..lo que pasa es que opinan sin saber de que estaba hablando,racistas estupidos..cuanta gente lucho al pedo por una latinoamerica unida!! es por ustedes que tengo razon para avergonzarme.

[glopari1]

I was going to reply but..nah....wasting time with you..not cool

[NewYork2Chicago]

they forgot about SANTANA.....

[213rooster]

serio homie

[julinadaleon]

hermanos mexicanos..por favor no tiene nada que ver que vivan en USA..porque escriben en ingles? hay algo en ustedes que no se entiende..defienden su cultura hablando y escribiendo en ingles todo el dia? LATINOS LUCHEMOS POR NUESTRAS CULTURAS!!

[OrquideaFeroz]

Escribimos en ingles porque somos norteamericanos tambien. Que tiene de malo que usemos el ingles?

Apoco en orden de comprobar que somos "Mexicanos" lo suficiente tenemos que solo escribir y hablar en espanol? No seas ignorante.

[xoxoritzxoxo]

soy Peruana , pero entiendo tu preocupacion , pero nadie rechaza su cultura por aprender nuevos idiomas.

Lo que si es imperdonable es avergonzarse de donde provienes

[AwwRats]

It makes political sense to join together under an umbrella term like "Latino" or even "Hispanic." However justified your reservations, you must admit that there is power in numbers and we all stand to benefit from an alliance. We can celebrate our differences even while we recognize our common ground.

[AtTheCornerCafe]

Murd777; estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo! De donde eres? Yo soy de la Cuidad de Mexico.

[murd777]

Lamentablemente la mayoria de la gente latina en USA tienen muy poca educacion. Por Favor para otra oportunidad deberian de invitar a mejores representantes de la musica en "Espanol". Es una verguenza que nos sigan mirando como esa gente que escucha "Reggaeton", Los latinos no solamente es eso, somo mucho mas, con mucha educacion en todos los aspectos. Tarjeta roja para los organizadores de ese evento. Una verguenza para La Cutura Latinoamericana.Gracias

[xoxoritzxoxo]

disculpa`pero creo que juzgas mal , ellos estan orgullosos de ser latinos ,y creo que con eso basta , tu no eres nadie para juzgar el nivel de artistas que son , ademas eso no nos define como latinos .

ignorantes hay en todo el planeta es por eso que nadie puede representar a todos , somos unicos !!! que viva esta hermosa TIERRA , y por favor dejen de juzgar que con personas como ustedes este mundo no progresa , y que vivan todas las culturas !!!!!!

[murd777]

Los mexicanos tambien son "Norteamericanos" . Mexico esta situado en Norteamerica junto con USA y Canada.

Creo que Gloria Stefan y Marc Anthony estuvieron a la altura de representar a nuestra cultura, PERO por favor senores productores como es posible que un tipo como "El Bambino" haya podido estar ahi,

[xoxoritzxoxo]

juzgando como siempre , quien eres tu para juzgar el tipo de calidad de artista que es el bambino , por favor dejen de juzgar solo estan pasando un buen rato celebrando sus culturas y el esta orgulloso de donde proviene con eso basta .

[gogosan1]

Estoy 100% de accuerdo contigo. no endiendo porque "el bambino" fue a tenllir el show con sus vulgerias.

[beornborg]

There are many different cultures within the Latino communities which cannot be presented in this one video. However, the video does present how happy and vibrant the Latino is. This makes me proud to be a Puerto Rican and a Latino.

[stylecollective]

All this bickering over nothing....all I care is that I got a chance to see some of my favorite contemporary Latino artists get onstage and tear it up...well as much as can be expected for a State concert...Even the legendary r&b diva Patti Labelle tones it down a bit for White House shows and refrains from kicking off her shoes onstage as is usually de rigeur for her performances. The Washington politico crowd is a bit uptight and unfortunately need their performances with less spice.

[casablanca7772002]

true JLO looked good but president Obama is such a smart guy that he only paid tribute to GLORIA!!!!!!

[jenboo08]

I dont think JLo should be their although she is a successful woman she has not done anything for her community and fellow latinos.

[Karime18]

Get a book and get lost in it! educate yourself dude, you are talking a lot of none sense.

[nessitta11]

Latinos somos los mexicanos, cubanos todos los de centroamerica, y america del sur........pero en realidad no entiendo pork le ponen asi....si todos los k vivimos en america, somos americanos....no nada mas los de norteamerica...........

[lyam409]

@nessitta11 me lo he preguntado millones de veces. Los latinos tambien vivimos en AMERICA asi que somos americanos tambien. No se porque classifican a los estadounidenses como los unicos Americanos.

[loveusher05]

xm377 you sound ignorant!!!

[aamador712]

Well, xm377, everyone in the world calls Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries in the continent, Latin America. As minority groups in the US, those coming from such countries are in America, 'latinos' by group. I don't feel offended by that and I am very happy to be perceived as latina together with my Mexican, Puerto Rican, etc. fellows. But as u say, it means different things to different people. just that, here, it is not an exonym.

[aamador712]

sorry, but why are Mexicans not Latinos, again? I don't think you made that clear, and I am very confused now. Thx

[aamador712]

Well, I just thought Mexicans spoke Spanish, which is a latin language. I am not sure what Latino means to you, but to me Mexicans, Central Americans and South Americans ARE Latinos. If you have definition different from mine, I'll appreciate the tip. thx

[aamador712]

Mexicans are not latinos???

[carmenligia]

This is a cuban song, talcking about Cuba and performed by a cuban singer Gloria Stefan .

This have nothing to do with Mexico

xm377 needs to come back to reality....

[miguelgarciagines]

Puerto Rico Presente!

[James3093]

This is awesome...I wish we had a Hispanic Heritage month over here in the UK!! Q sigan adelante... :)

[jimmymor23]

latinos stand up!!!!
