Benno, everything you say here is true, however, I wouldn't waste my time writing here too much. As you can see the intelligence level in youtube is somewhere between swamp amoeba and ghetto ass wipe. I read this crap all the time and I regret that YT doesn't have an editorial board to check on the bullshit that is written here. Readers are the ones that lose if they believe this nonsense. Thanks though.

I see where you are going with this,,, if i'm not mistaken, the latest appointee for supreme court judge was Sonya Soto Mayor,, a Puerto Rican wise women who meaningly fully grew out of the projects and into the highest court in America... we need more people like that can "influence and better yet stir the media into a better view of "Latinos"... we need people in office!!!!!

What are Latinos? You mean Mexicans? Because what if you asked a Black person who was Latino like a Puerto Rican or a Dominican? Lol Latino shouldn't ever be used as terminology.

African Americans paved the way for immigration whether we choose to be here or not

@mrchrmedone Actually I have met Italian Americans , Irish Americans Scottish and German/French that still hold those traditions. Your confusing ETHNICITY with NATIONALITY. African Americans are a confusing case because of slavery ,but America is a special case. I think its perfectly find to identify yourself with a certain group

[mrchrmedone]

i would love to know. why people call the blacks and mexican african/american mexican/american and the white people just americans? should we call them european/americans coz clearly theyre white. them ancestors came from europe? does them white people have american bloo? or do they have either irish german italian polish blood? i'd like to know.. i need a little help here thanks

Gosh, this lady is so insightful. This interview was excellent. She didn't speak racism as most of some would call it---she spoke the truth. Thanks for the interview Carlos.

These people who come over here are anti black but I have no time to deal with their ignorance. Blacks are not in their country they are in our neighborhoods who benefitting off of our struggle. That's fucked up and they are racist against us too. I am not putting up with that shit. Latinos like everybody else just use blacks.

Blacks need to worry about themselves forget white, Native Americans, Asian, Latinos, etc. They don't care about us.
