BLACK LATINOS HATE TO BE CALLED BLACK. IF U ASKED ANY OF THEM WHAT THEIR RACE IS THEY WILL SAY LATINO OR DOMINICAN cuban ect… HOW THE HELL CAN WE INCLUDE THESE BROWN PEOPLE AS US WHEN THE DARK ONES ARE ASHAMED.

just ask Zoe Saldana about how her black latin people dont consider themselves black. FORGET reading a book just ask 1 of them.

YES REAL BLACCS HATE MEXICANS CUZ THEY HATE US.

Denise Said: YES THERE ARE SOME LATINOS OF AFRICAN LINEAGE WHO DENY BEING BLACK, BECAUSE THERE ARE ASHAMED TO BE CONNECTED WITH THE LEGACY OF SLAVERY. THE IGNORANCE OF SOME OF THE WHITE SKINNED LATINOS, HAVE ALSO LEAD TO THE SHAME,FOR INSTANCE, TELEMUNDO TELEVISION; IF YOU WATCH THAT STATION YOU WOULD THINK THAT THERE ARE NO DARKER SKINNED LATINOS IN LATIN COUNTRIES, ALSO THE ECONOMIC DIVIDE BETWEEN DARKER LATINOS AND LIGHTER SKINNED LATINOS, HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE IGNORANCE OF SOME DARKER SKINNED LATINOS. MOST BLACKS IN LATIN COUNTRIES LIVE IN POVERTY,WHILE MOST OF THE WHITE SKINNED LIVE IN ARISTOCRATIC SOCIETIES AND RULE THE GOVERNMENT-JUST LIKE HERE IN AMERICA.

I AM NO RACIST, I AM FOR ALL PEOPLE, I AM OFFERING AWARENESS, NOT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO HATE LIGHT-SKINNED LATINOS.

THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS WHO ARE ASHAMED OF THERE AFRICAN ROOTS. THINK ABOUT HOW DARK SKINNED PEOPLE ARE CALLED “AFRICAN BOOTY SCRATCHER”; IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY, IF YOU ARE CALLED AFRICAN, IT IT AN INSULT. IN CONCLUSION,MOST DARKER SKINNED LATINOS SUFFER FROM THE SAME SELF HATE AS US AFRICAN AMERICANS. WHY DO WE CALL STRAIGHT HAIR “GOOD HAIR” AND KINKY HAIR “NAPPY” OR “BAD HAIR”. HAS ANY AFRICAN-AMERICAN HEARD OF THE BROWN PAPER BAG TEST. SO ONCE AGAIN MY FELLOW BLACK PEOPLE, LOOK AT YOURSELVES BEFORE YOU JUDGE OTHERS, HOW CAN WE CRITICIZE SOMEONE OF THE VERY THING THAT WE ARE DOING?

I admit that I was hit with the “Colorstruck bug” a few times myself, it is evident in some of the comments that I made ON CONCRETE LOOP IN THE PAST. EDUCATION IS THE KEY, IT HELPED ME AND IT CAN ALSO HELP OTHERS; THAT IS THE PURPOSE FOR THE AFRO-LATINO MOVEMENT, BRINGING AWARENESS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BLINDFOLDED.

MY FRIEND WHO’S BLACK HIRED A PUERTO RICAN WOMAN TO WORK FOR HIS COMPANY. IN CASUAL CONVERSATION, MY BLACK FRIEND TOLD HER THAT PUERTO RICANS WERE BLACK. THE PUERTO RICAN WOMAN TOLD HIM THAT SHE FELT HE WAS TRYING TO “OFFEND” HER AND QUIT THE JOB!! HOW PATHETIC IS THAT??

oh Denise i hear you. But for me it’s not about dissing that other dark skin black person or light. It’s about do you acknowledge that your black or have african blood at all. Black LATINOS are the only blacks on this planet i have ever ran into who didn’t acknowledge that they were black at all. African Americans know their black. It doesnt matter if they hate it or not.
I mean i dont even think it’s self hate anymore they honestly believe that their not black. If you hooked most of them up to a lie detector test and asked they would probably Pass with flying colors.

Wednesday, June 13, 2007 /

@152 yeah they hate it if you tell them that. They don’t won’t you saying they have anything to do with black. A few of them were ready to fight me because i said they had african blood. Quit the job though? dang we can’t be that bad! ):

@153 yeah bet became a joke they might as well change the name. I don’t know why new york blacks have to include latins on our tv you won’t see us on latin tv.
You won’t see fab and eve at the black parade or any famous latinos later this year i can guarantee that. Maybe angie martinez because stations go. It’s her job.

also mexicans LATINOZ hate blacks where i’m from for no apparent reason. I know that’s how it is on the west to.

Fantasia KILLED it at the Tonys. Of course the white people didn’t appreciate her type of voice tho. I loved her performance, the dress on the otherhand…not so much. we both cried when she sang (Fantasia and I lol). I saw the original cast of the Color Purple and, I wasn’t sure about the idea of her joining the cast of the Color Purple as Ciely with her type of voice, but since that performance I see that she can hold her own.

These are the kind of comments that come from non-African American people regarding Fantasia. Some of you could take a page from their book. This is appreciation for hardwork:
What gets me about Fantasia’s performance of “I’m Here” is the raw emotion she brings to it. It was the same during the performance of The Color Purple I attended: she was almost overcome with emotion and it projected powerfully into the audience. I don’t understand how someone can do that night after night.

This is instant classic. Fantasia at the Tony awards! Amazing. Awesome shot. That’s a movie poster. That’s a commemorative cover. That’s the centerpiece of a collection of mementos. Great, great picture. It reminds me of that classic Star Wars poster from the 1970’s, with Luke holding a light saber. The background is kind of like the Matrix, at the end of the first one where all three agents raise their weapons in unison. It just calls out to you. She’s triumphant, she’s strong, she’s perfectly lit, and powerful. I can’t stop looking at it! Great, great shot. She’s transcendant once again. The Tony’s, the Grammys, the Kennedy Center Honors, Broadway, A.I., Carnegie Hall.

She’s 22. 22!

Fanty was fabulous. What a thrill for her to perform for that crowd. The girl is truly a star

She was freakin’ awesome. Few have such an innate gift for genuine heartfelt delivery. If breaking Tony Award show “rules” produces that kind of moment… fine by me.

Awwww man, Fantasia was fantastic tonight. I bet she lost it after she left the stage because she was dayum near tears during her performance. What an experience for her tonight. Just WOW!

It brought me back to the Season 3 finale when Fantasia somehow managed to turn in an extraordinary performance with a piece of poop song.

What gets me about Fantasia’s performance of “I’m Here” is the raw emotion she brings to it. It was the same during the performance of The Color Purple I attended: she was almost overcome with emotion and it projected powerfully into the audience. I don’t understand how someone can do that night after night.

LITTLEMAMAJTB…What do you mean by “most of you wish your kids had hair like that”? Like what? Straight? Curly? You mean to say “good hair” don’t you? Believe it nor, some of us actually think black, strong Negro hair is “good hair”. You know what is ever worst? You didn’t stop showing your ignorance there. How dare you assume we would want light skinned children (not that there is anything wrong with that because you are what you are). Just because you still have your shackles on doesn’t mean that all blacks do. You obviously don’t love yourself. Once you’ve gotten rid of that complex let me know.

COMMENT ABOUT FANTASIA….THANK YOU. WE(BLACKS)HAVE BEEN COMPLAING TO NO AVAIL,SO MAYBE ANGEL WILL LISTEN TO YOU.

Thank you to all who told the truth about Hispanics.F. them. all.!; and you can throw africans from the continent in as well.Whetther Latinos are dark or light they are racist scum.Alot of Africans are scum too.Thses Africans have so many names to describe Black Amer. and West Indians.This is why I shake my head when Blacks are supporting these people.They are no good, most of them.Here you have Black Americans crying about Darfur!!!!Do you know what these Sudanese(Darfur is also in Sudan) call Black Americans and West Indians? ABID-which means slaves!!!!. I have been around and have had relationships with both groups. THEY ARE NO GOOD!(most of them).As for Black Hispanics,they might be even worse than The lighter ones. In closing, F!@#$.THEM.ALL. THEY CAN ALL GO TO HEll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Amend: Black Hispanics might be even worse than the light ones(If that is possible.) Always keep an open mind to everyone and everything but some of them will talk and laugh with you and in your face but behind your back,watch out!;and some of them cant even do it behind your back, IT ALWAYS COMES OUT.Again, F!@@#$.THEM.ALL! THEY CAN ALL GO TO HELL!!!!!. KEEP IT MOVING,MY PEOPLE.NONE OF THEM CAN TEST US!

It’s funny i don’t really watch that shit but i was watching howard stern and these spanish pornstars were on. They said they dont fuck black guys because their families would be devastated. WTF….so it’s all good you’re a whore sleeping every white guy in front of millions. Your family is ok as long as it ain’t black…lol.I don’t know i just found that funny.

I have no idea why some blacks think their our brothers and sisters when they hate us more than whites. Blacks and whites actually get along just fine here but latinos hate us with a passion. They try to start shyt almost everyday at my sisters high schools.

yeah anyway black white green yellow fantasia is butt ugly to me.
fab eve = clowns for being at that parade hope to see them at west indian parade.

and the only reason vannessa is with kobe is because he has millions. If he was a regular nukkah on the streets her or her mexican family wouldn’t have any part of him.

I myself am a African-American/Dominican male, and YES, we are comprised of African genes as well as latin. Whats the big deal. I do think that non Puerto-Ricans should keep they monkey ass away from the PR day parade. You dont see Mexicans celebrating MLK Day on your local MLK BLvd do you? Nutn wrong wit jus havin a good time. Fab was there for the chicks, plain and simple. Dont know WTF McTonight-Face ass Eve was doin there….Ah well.

@18:

Here in Dallas there is the MLK Day Parade and the Juneteenth Picnic that takes place this Saturday. So, I guess there are Afro-American Days in other cities.

Ta-Ta…um, Boo…..that dress is not working. I’m sure the performance was GREAT!

I don’t like Kobe but the family pic is cute. Don’t know why the oldest baby has that HUGE bow on, but oh well! The kiddos are the cutest! No comment on Mom and Dad! Next!

ALL OF YALL WHO R SAYING THAT LATINOS ARE RACIST AGAINST BLACKS OR ARE ASHAMED TO BE HALF BLK, YALL NEED 2 REALLY OPEN YALL EYEZ & SPEAK THA TRUTH. YALL KNOW DAMN WELL DAT MOST OF YALL DONT LIKE LATINOS SO IT GOEZ BOTH WAYS!!! EVERYBODY NEEDS 2 REALIZE THAT BOTH RACES HAVE THEIR DISLIKES ABOUT OTHER OUTSIDE RACES, BUT AS “MINORITIEZ”, WUT ARE WE GAINING FROM THIZ? WE ADD FUEL 2 THE FIRE BY FIGHTING ABOUT ISSUES LIKE DIS, AND IT JUST MAKES US LOOK STUPID. I HAVE MANY FRIENDS THAT ARE BLACK AND WE GET ALONG FINE AND WE DONT CARE ABOUT WUT EACH OTHERZ ETHNIC BACKGROUND IZ. THATS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF. AND YALL SHOULD KNOW DAMN WELL THAT MOST WHITE PPL STILL ARE RACIST AND DISLIKE BOTH LATINOZ & BLACKZ. WE ARE THE BLAME FOR EVERYTHING WRONG IN SOCIETY, AND WE ARE THE “MAJORITY” THAT ARE LOCKED UP AND COMMITING MOST CRIMEZ. BUT WUT ABOUT WHITE PPL, CAUSE I KNOW DAMN WELL THEY AINT SAINTS!!!NOW I EVEN SEE IT MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. (SO LETS JUS CONTINUE 2 FIGHT & DESTROY EACH OTHER BECAUSE THATS WHAT WHITE PPL ENJOY SO SEE.)

well, hip hop artists have always represented in the ny puerto rican parade. krs one, diddy, fat joe, marc anthony, maxwell, and so on and so forth. j-lo has been in it thousands of times so her being in it is nothing new. the problem is that the puerto rican parade is less and less of a family parade by the year, and it has become a place where one can “rep their hood” and cause problems. it is definitely not the same parade that i went to when i was a child and am highly over it.

as for eve and kobe, they look good and at least hes in the spotlight for something positive.

Other than JHo, are any of those people even partially Puerto Rican, or is that not a requirement to be on a float?

Kobe’s kids look ugly sometimes and really cute some other times.

licious32

Wednesday, June 13, 2007 /

its not a requirement to be puerto rican to be on the float. r&b station 98.7, and hip hop’s hot 97 and 105.1 have had floats in the parade for years! and as for all this black/latino racism, i honestly didnt see it until i went to college and was shocked. i have african features and am proud, and to this day, love black people as much as i love my latinos. as a matter of fact, i relate more to the black community than the puerto rican community. only when i went to parts of brooklyn and spoke w/people from other states did i truly see this “racism” some of you have spoken of.

the racism by both parties is pointless. both cultures (hispanic and black) have the least amount of people in colleges, make up the majority of the jail populations and overall go through the same crap when we go for jobs and the whole nine. puerto ricans were involuntarily used as guinea pigs for birth control in the 1940’s. south america still is feeling the aftermath of slavery much deeper than north america in regards to dark skinned hispanics and native american hispanics.

everyone needs to accept their past, move on, and rise up against all that is holding us back from becoming successful, which includes ourselves. and even though the prican parade is centered at one culture, parades should be enjoyed by all people.

LATIN KING…you know damn well most white people are not racist. ignorant statement. BLACK PEOPLE have never had anything against latinos..i mean never. The hate we have against latinos all started because of the latinos.
When the black ones hate black americans you know yall started it. Outside of new york blacks and latinos really dont get along and it will never change.
What you seem to dont understand is MOST BLACKS DID NOT grow up around latinos. WE grew up around more whites than latinos. We went to school with more whites than latinos. You people need to get out that new york state of mind and look at the rest of the country.

blacks celebs shouldn’t be at that march if their not gonna come to the black one. ONLY Thing we need is BLACK UNITY we dont need no latinos.

ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE SUM1 THAT NEEDS 2 THINK B4 THEY SPEAK. THAT WAS A IGNORANT STATEMENT! EVERY WORD U SAID WAS A LIE AND U NEED 2 LOOK IN THE R.E.A.L. WORLD AND SEE WUTS GOIN ON. WHITE PPL DONT LIKE NEITHER OF US, AND IT IZ A WHITE WORLD. THEY BUILT SOCIETY TO WORK AGAINST US AND BLAME US AND SUPPORT THEM. WE ARE THE BLAME FOR EVERYTHING, WE ARE THE MAJORITY IN PRISON, WE ARE COMMITTING CRIMES, WE ARE THE POOR AND LESS EDUCATED ONES. WHITE PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE MORE EDUCATED THAN US, HAVE MORE MONEY, BETTER JOB, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A WHITE PRESIDENT, AND WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER AT EVERYTHING. U SAY BLK PPL DONT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST LATINOS AND NEVER HAVE?? U SHOULD RE-READ YOUR COMMENT AND THE OTHERS B4 YOU BRO. AND I CANT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND WUT U SAID ABOUT BLACKS GROWING UP WITH WHITES AND GOING 2 SCHOOL WITH THEM AND BLACKS&WHITES ALWAYS GETTING ALONG, BUT WHITE PEOPLE MADE SURE SEGREGATION WAS ENFORCED IN THEIR COMMUNITY, THEY HAD SEPERATE SCHHOLS, BUSES, EVERYTHING. BUT YALL SEEM TO GET ALONG FINE, RITE?? YEA ITZ CHANGED BUT PEOPLES MINDS HAVENT CHANGED. I MUST BE THE LONLY ONE THAT SEES WHITE PEOPLE DONT LIKE BLACKS AND HISPANICS OR ITZ JUS LIKE THAT HERE IN DALLAS. “LICIOUS32″, THANK U FOR YOUR COMMENT. “everyone needs to accept their past, move on, and rise up against all that is holding us back from becoming successful, which includes ourselves.” AND IF SUM OF YALL STILL DONT AGREE…THAN FUCK IT.
