Dude, your religion is yours; other people should have the right to believe in whatever they please. So, humble down and practice the teachings of your faith rather than lecturing other people.

What's a latino? A race or a series of ethnic groups who have the spanish language in common. As far as I know there are white latinos black latinos, chinese latinos and mixed latinos!

[Obatalasito85]

@malfini1 - Also, not thoe that have spanish language in common. Don't forget about our portuguesse cousins that settled in brazil, as well as the french settlers that settled in Haiti until they were kicked out after the rebellion. A Latino is pretty much someone who has cultural roots from the Roman-Latin Empire. These people broke up and made up Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French (and also Romanian).... and these were the colonizers of what was known as "Latin America". :-)

@AFRIKTODAY Where exactly did i lecture others?

[truth7seeker]

@sth119 Will you pay me to be your professor? Because it seems to me that you know history but the corrupt part of it not the real one. Anyway, I am not going to waist my time with you, you have the internet and you can educate yourself if you want to understand my comment, and if you don't ...then is not my problem.

[sth119]

@truth7seeker In what way does your comment relate to what the commentator said. I hope you are aware of the difference between colonisation and slavery. As @TCt83067695 said, colonisation was carried out by white catholics that is the British, in what frame of mind would you link slavery to colonisation in relation to what the person said. Before you start lecturing people on the history of our forefathers, i advise you to read the comment first and stop flinging insults at people.
