Latinos come in all colors. We have black, white, and asian descent. Many puerto ricans, dominicans, columbians have african heritage. Many Argentinians are of European heritage, many mexicans have asian features. This lady is clearly of African descent. Your comment "latinos think themselves superior to anyone African or black" should be reconsidered.

Miss Vasquez needs to say in so many words that some Latinos are Racists and Fascists towards people of Afro-descent as proven evident in History! Latinos have a BIG Race problem in their countries of origin that no one talks about and it shows. Obama is not running as a black candidate but Latinos have a problem with that. I should know, I am Afro-Dominicano. This serpent does not speak for a lot of Dominicans who see no problem w/ Obama

She is speaking the truth Latinos majority of them are racist bastard specially Mexicans. In matter fact, majority of Latinos are racist even with their own people. No just Mexican what about Argentineans they think all of them are from Italy. Whoever think I am not speaking the truth is wrong. I am Latino but I have to admit, that the truth, I dont trust any Latino. I prefer make business with European, Canada and North American.

@smlvogue1 no the comment shouldn't be reconsidered. MANY LATINOS particularly dominicans swear they arent black.

Some commentors need to stop with their generalizations: about race, gender, creed, ethnicity, & etc. It puzzles me sometimes, especially, pertaining with people of "color" a lot of us (if not all) consists of multiple descendants. The United States is a place of democracy (allegedly)! So, vote for the person "you" want and hopefully whoever it is does what is ethical!

My question why is the racial issue with her opinion? Could it be a gender opinion? A woman supporting another woman. No, people have to say it's a race issue. She's from P.R. and people down here do not side based on color or race. That needs to be analyzed in its context. I don't see that here. I only see people saying she's racist this and that.

Salsa came from African and Taino roots (know the areito?!!!) so for you to say that it only came from Africans is illogical. And, why is she prostituting herself?

[EternalTDG]

She is truly a serpent and now a joke. As a Latina, I am embarassed for her standing there as an obviously Afro-Latino woman being ignorant.

Does this take hispanics back a few years?

[js2040]

Four hundred years of oppressed people now having to push for a forgiving and healing with these people.

blacks are prejudice too. Blacks are subject to the same evil and stupidity as whites and hispanics. Black people are more prejudice to themselves in singleing out there own women by chasing everything else that is not an African American women. Then get mad when there with thier women. In return though black women will defend thier ignorance like they showed that battered shelter oc African American women cheering on OJ Simpson for being let go. Blacks are a very screwed up race.
