Hey papa thanks for this video it's Miguel. There is that internal racism that we get when we look the opposite of what others expect that we should like. I have gotten it from some American Blacks who are offended by a Moreno having a Latino ethnicity / back ground and I have gotten it from light skinned Latinos who were offended at me Black/Native 4 having Latino heritage as well. this makes for stronger self determination at least for myself to just live my life and be proud of who I am

@soymiguelalejandro23 You make to much sense, do you know that:) Peace, Blackman.

So you are saying if we are light skinned we are not Africans? Have u been to Africa? Even in Nigeria there are lighter skinned people, go to South Africa almost everyone is a honey/almond complexion. East Africa has light skinned people too. Puerto Ricans are more African than African Americans(and im African American) look at their culture and their dress. Stand together black people not apart.

And you also said it yourself, your father's side is white latino and on your mothers side there is black. Your own statement proves my whole argument, yes you have black in you, no you are not a cracka, but you are not a black man, now I ask you how is that bullshit?

@8400king94 Yeah but he is not full black

Speak the truth brother, this people are missinformed.

[twilson11208]

Someone like Ricky Martin, Carlos Ponce, albeit Puerto Ricans differ completely from the likes of say Rosie Perez, Roberto Clemente who themselves are Puerto Rican. Same nationality but are racially different. While it is good for black hispanics to come to terms with their afrocentric heritage its rather foolish to make those who aren't abide to something they aren't. Just adding my two cents in it.

[twilson11208]

Okay, I guess as an outsider and white individual I can make a far more unbiased analysis than some who do or don't have racial complexes from either side in the Puerto Rican nationality. 1st things first, the fool who made this video is mixed with all 3 of the components that have contributed to the Puerto Rican culture, ie Indian, White and African. However, to pideonhole Puerto Ricans to a specific race would be rather foolish as I've seen many who differ from the other genetically race wise

The only original Puerto ricans are the taino(think I spelled that correctly) natives. The ONLY reason they have 'white' skin or 'black' skin is that either those tainos mixed with the African slaves that were dragged half way across the world on a boat or the mixed with the Europeans that brought them over. Anyone who thinks 'white' Puerto Ricans are 'real' Puerto Ricans is delusional.

Smh, he knows he's not fully black. He just takes a lot of pride in his African ancestry, even though he doesn't look African.
