Gustavo Rodriguez for once? White Latinos are over represented in every Latin American country, while every other ethnic group is pretty much undermined
Not just white Latinos but white mestizos specifically are over represented as well. Northern Mexico. Southern Brazil. Parts of Chile. Uruguay. Argentina. Parts of Colombia. Parts of Cuba as well.
@FEAR KCP depends of what mixture you are talking about. It's true most latinos are mixed and good part of them have african ancestry but actually most latinos are mestizos, people of european and native american descent, there are also white latinos, black latinos like me and asian latinos
I’ve you travel to Salvador, Brasil you will see how much they embrace being African. I truly believe that is the most Afro place outside of Subsaharan Africa.
Nestor Paz Not remotely. El Salvador like Guatemala is primarily Mayan. I’ve been there many time and could count with one hand the actual blacks I’ve seen. Haiti on the other hand...
Random Ami you didn’t read the reply properly I said Salvador, Bahia Brasil... it’s by far one of the most Afro places in Latin America. Just do a quick search here on TH-cam or Google. I know El Salvador is mainly Mayan, I’m from Nicaragua we are as well.
Boiz Chillen you obviously misunderstood what I said all countries in the African Continent are obviously African, but it’s no secret that the tribes and people north of the Sahara have a different complexion, and also most of the African diaspora in the Americas is of West African ancestry. And I didn’t coin the term sub-Saharan and I also am not segregating “races” just stating facts that most of the people brought to the Americas during the slave trade are from a certain region and the people of Salvador tend to really embrace their culture more than other places I’ve visited. Now I don’t know how you could have taken offense to what I said...
Boiz Chillen I’ve seen it for myself as well as I have traveled the region. And I don’t know about other people I can only speak for myself and that’s not how I mean it. Either way the continent as a whole is beautiful and the diversity is what makes it what it is.
@Boiz Chillen Those in North Africa pick and choose when they will identify as Africans. Some of us dont see them as Africans because they are more racist against sub Saharan Africans than whites. They are in Africa geographically but we do not have much contact except in sports.
sameee both my parents from Panama 🇵🇦 . dad is black comin from Jamaican roots 🇯🇲 and mom is white/native (mestiza). im a mixed panamian american and born in memphis tn. gotta spread the love to my ppl grad to know we out here
W Gaston That’s under the assumption that nobody speaks Spanish in the USA when many people are bilingual already. With that logic are French speakers from Africa or Quebec “Latino”?
Say my boy...... y'all are indigenous to that area. Y'all are not shipwrecked African slave or nothing. Your people always have inhabited that area before the slave trade was thought of.
My parents are Nicaraguan from Bluefields. There were a number of Garifuna people around there. My grandma used to trade and sell with the local group to the point when she became fluent. Apparently my Grandpa was too. My mom said that whenever her parents argued they did so in Garifuna so that the kids wouldn't understand. Kids always do though.
@@knowledgeseeker8582 Stop. All African peoples in Latin America are descendants of slaves brought by the Spanish. I dont know what makes you believe otherwise.
@@ktiv12 Were are the descendants of the blacks that were seen in the Americas before the slave trade? Keep overlooking the dark skins woolly hair people that were seen and found(bones that similar to modern day blacks, not the east Asians and Siberians).
@@fiddlermike they dont have any, im mexican but born in America i technically cant put "latino" since im not of latin american orgin im forced to put "white" since "American" isn't a race
As a white-mestizo Colombian man, I didn't know that African Latinos were so unknown for US Americans. Afro-Colombians have an important history and a remarkable presence and role here. Yes, they are mostly concentrated on the Pacific coast, but also they can be seen throughout the whole land.
@@javiervega1065 Here, in Colombia, official census places whites and mestizos under the same category. I'm actually mixed Spanish, Italian, Muysca and U'wa. That means, I don't identify myself as white, but in writing “white-mestizo” that's my point: any categorisation is subjective.
@@javiervega1065 Dummy, the Spanish are European white! And, they mixed with indigenous (Native-American women) that gave birth to Mestizo. Over 85% of the population of El Salvador is white-mestizo, how is that? The Spanish mixed with the Lenca, Pipil, and other indigenous people!!!
Latin America was actually more heavily impacted by the Trans-Atlantic slave trade than even the U.S. *edit:* especially if you count Brazil, though calling Brazilians "Latinos" is very controversial
@@robertcuevas3602 where exactly in the comment is the comparison? Is English your native language? I think you should read the comment once more but next time more carefully.
I'm a black Colombian. Thank you for this video. People in Europe still gets shocked when I tell them I'm colombian because it destroys their ideas that blacks only come from Africa
That's crazy,cause African-Americans have been in Europe,since after World war 2? I myself was stationed in Berlin,Germany. I fought in the 1st Gulf War. I've been to Colombia but not as a tourist. I'm ex-Special Forces.
A big problem is that the world overall follows the US in trends and many things science are connected to our everyday lives and pop culture. The US (and Australia, UK) sets the great majority of world trends. Many people bash and point the finger at the US yet, they love this country. They love it's celebrities so much that many listen to what they have to say AS IF these celebrities were actually unselfishly smart. It's "America" that is the cause of the ignorance you mention: It is Latin America itself. They are not united. There is hatred in every country and towards neighboring countries. There is hatred among most various ethnicities of such whatever Latino-Americans (here in the US). While such hatreds and dislikes of fellow nationalities and races and ethnicities without fail exists all over the world, the Latino population in the US is the third largest here yet, they fight among themselves and therefore are kept from reaching obvious prosperity. Most "Caribbean" Latinos are respected here, and most who are black and white Latino's, but it is the Mexican, most Central Americans, and the Native-American-Mix Latinos who are targeted with mass hate (racism) here in the US. It is the voiceless Latino community that allows "America" to be "soo ignorant." Look at music. While there are many, many Spanish names in this industry, hardly any Spanish name ever makes it BIG. Pitbull (while in name is English everyone automatically knew he was Latino) had some big hits in the past but he needed black and white features in his songs (even so no one hated him here). Christina Aguilera. She was a big success, but I guarantee you had she come out today she would Not have been a third as big. Gloria Estefan. Carlos Santana. Who else? Ricky Martin? Shakira? Enrique Iglesias? Jlo? They had a couple hits and it took place during the height of the worlds Salsa music explosion which without it I doubt they would have had half the fame they now have or had. Its seems Santana, Xtina and Pitbull had the longest run yet they were nowhere near king or queen status. Selena Gomez? She has had success, and the media has taken notice of the mass "hate"(bigotry) she selectively receives and so she has been embraced by some Big named business (Coach, Pantene, Puma namely). Without their help or genuine liking of her, she would be successful but not as much. The racist masses have Selected Her, Selena, as the scapegoat for racists, and I mean racism comes from ALL races and ethnicities, not just from whites. East Asians are the only ones I have not come across by mass numbers as racists towards Selena. Racists come up with many and any excuse to hate on Selena: The Mexican--that is what they see about her. But is the Un-unity of the overall American Latino that keeps Selena, and other Latinos who want to reach the stars, from becoming a huge name in the world and respected. It is The Mexican, Central American (overall), and the Native-American-Mix (all of none "Caribbean" background) who are the real targets of racism in the USA, Australia and the UK, and from there is spreads world wide. These Latinos, most, don't support Selena's, Becky G's music, they don't support Spanish actors' movies, and so the Spanish name overall will keep being a thing to dismiss and ignore and no one will care what the Spanish name has to say. Latinos are not a race, but it should be.
There is a huge variety of races in Latin America, so we could be anything, such as Caucasians, Blacks, Mestizos, Native Americans, Mulattos, etc. In my opinion, using the term 'Latino' or 'Hispanic' as a race to refer or describe someone it's pretty dumb nor accurate.
I'm East African (Uganda) I shout out to all my brothers and sisters in Diaspora. Dance to the Drums of your African Ancestors. Be proud of your mother Africa.
Good to see you're proud, but Ugandans, stop having so many children, your country or the world won't resist so many people ._. making babies is not a competition, we're not rabbits and the world is already overpopulated, keep that in mind, Uganda has increased 6x times its population since 1960 and will multiply by 4 times more till 2100.

J V African roots have been in Latin America for a long time, do your history. Millions of slaves were brought to Latin America, even more than the U.S .

Stay woke to the truth ✊🏾✊🏾 don’t judge others if you don’t know yourself
@J V we actually already have that stuff here, I mean our culture is westerm. our religion is western, we for the majority look like western, but we aren't western in the views of the west, I mean I don't know a single bit about African culture and stuff yet people want to put us on the same box as those different from the west even if the US is kinda like a cousin for us
@@vitmartobby5644 It's called capitalism! They lump Hispanics with blacks based on class. Italians for example used to have a place in Harlem called Italian Harlem but they decided enough was enough and better themselves and got the fuck out. Hispanics could do the same thing but the Liberal party gives them free hand outs so they decided to allow themselves to side with the blacks willingly.
@Adrian Nieves African roots ??? We don’t even have Latino history in schools and if we do it’s massively incomplete or false. I agree with you that we should show our african side more but you should also want to learn your Latino history which is massively mis represented or not even talked about. Nieves ....from where ??

No, we are argentinian, chilean, peruvian, mexican, etc. The great thing about us, is that WE DONT LARP as the 'muricans do, so, we dont identify as other cultures to steal their achievements.

I’m Afro-Mexican and damn proud of my black roots. From la Costa chica de Guerrero and Oaxaca where the largest black population lives in Mexico. We still use African words in our vocabulary. Predominantly Bantu language words.
I am afromexican Phillipino Italian Spanish German Mexico used to have alot more blacks years back the Indians of Mexico were strong that's why there's not alot of blacks in Mexico
@@alancisneros5391 they were bred out when you have a population that is mostly made up of men that is what usually happens! This is why so many Mexicans especially from the South and Coahuila have percentages of African DNA! Don't get me wrong Coahuila aren't the same as those that are down South the ones down South are the descendants of Spanish slaves who were brought to Mexico and the ones from Coahuila/ Nuevo León are the descendants of runaway slaves from the U.S!
I also have African in me, so it's pretty common many Latinos have Native American, Afro and European, just everyone has one ethnicity features stronger than others.
But the percentages vary greatlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Someone who has 98% of European descent and 2% of Sub-Saharan African is a WHITE person period! But in the US, idiots actually believe in the ignorant, inane and illogical STUPID "1-Drop" Rule that was invented by WHITE, ILLITERATE, UNEDUCATED, SYPHILITIC, TOOTHLESS slave-owners to keep their mixed-race off-spring from inheriting their estate and to guarantee their WHITE off-spring would inherit it all...so they invented the "rule" to exclude any off-spring that was not all-White!
Charley G. Your not familiar, but Germans have a size able community in Southern Brazil, there are numerous towns that celebrate the Holidays and they even hold special Brazil Alamaò events and pageants for the German Brazilian citizens
Neither gisele nor amara are representative of latinas. Latinas are very diverse as well all know but if we wanna get down to it, your average latina is a mestiza like Gina Rodriguez.

My Father is from Guerrero Mexico I have a great great great grandmother who was straight up African but since my mother is from Jalisco I get confused for a Scottish lol
Abel, my mom is european (spanish and italian) and my Dad was from Veracruz. He was afro-mexican. There are many afro-mexican villages in that state and in Guerrero too were your african ancestors were settled. My skin is very pale but my features are black ❤️ Saludos desde la Ciudad de México
It is the other way around other races added beauty to a not very attractive African race. That is why you people see someone of the Black race who has mixed and the African features have been diminished almost washed out the African looks you are so self hating that you say OMG these people are so beautiful that I''m crying" why? because you people should accept your people looks do not straighten your hair or wear fake acrylic highly flammable Taiwanese extensions .
Black American. After doing genetic testing I found distant relatives all over Latin America, from Cuba and Puerto Rico to Brazil. It was interesting to find. Slaves were traded between the Americas as well as directly from Africa.
I've known this since I was a kid particularly through watching football (soccer) in the 90s , the Colombian , Ecuadorian & Peruvian teams showcased this diversity, but due to the American political identity naarative I never really embraced this notion "Latinos are not a race but a cultural identity" 👍🏽
pepe0801 African descent people from countries where sports are a big thing such as The U.S and some South American countries will always dominate. You saw how France won a World Cup cuz most the team are kids of African immigrants? And the U.S dominates in basketball and football cuz of black Americans? And Brazil best players are Afro Brazilians like Pele. if African Americans were in love with soccer as much as they love basketball they world be one of the biggest teams too.
@@xvxnzg9130 yes j agree but you can't say they are the best because like mostly white teams have won the world cup except France because of the massive amount f immigrants it has representing it's team but the sad thing is that European countries steal African players and then they claim them as their own but I mean yes Brazil has had great players of African decent
Dominican here, I can tell that for the most part you are right, but "negro" (black) is not only used for people of haitian origin, I could say it´s barely used at all. When we talk about "white" "indio" "mulato" "black" (we usually use prieto or moreno instead), we are usually talking about the actual color of the skin, not the racial background of a person, and it´s a very fluid thing. I myself have been called blanco (white), indio (indian), morenito (brown skin), moreno, and many others.
@Nplos Le error, o es negro o es mulato pero no existe tal cosa como "negro mulato", los mulatos son una mezcla entre negros y blancos, son un grupo aparte
Yes, “black blood” is present all over Latin America, even if you don’t think so. I myself am 2.2 % sub Saharan African. Might not be a lot, but if it wasn’t for those ancestor/s history would have turned out differently and I would not be here typing this comment :)
I love all my black people!!! Time we stuck together and showed each other love instead of focusing on our differences. You’re all my brothers and sisters! ✊🏾
No nos interesa sus locuras raciales EEUU. En America Hispana no tenemos esa idiotas de separar a la gente por razas por eso existe mezcla y no etiquetas .
Like how your basically destroying the one race of latin americans stereotype. You should do it with Middle East Oceania Central Asia. Like you have Or even Indian ocean
Myself and most geneticist don't believe in races anymore. My maternal grandfather was Lebanese but his Y DNA (R1b) was West European. My paternal grandfather was half Austrian but his Y DNA (E-M123) was middle east. My maternal grandmother from Martinique was blond with blue eye but her Mt DNA was African (L2A1). My paternal grandmother was native American and north African (Algeria). I was born in Bluefields Nicaragua.
Frido California Yep, it's pretty much been proven that race isn't actually a thing. It's sad that so many cultural divides in the US continue to exist because of this.
Dude. At least 18% of DR population consider themselves white in the last census out of those 10 "i believe" are 100% whites. Just like 11% consider themselves 100% black. Off course theres dominicans who consider themselves as white. My grandmother for example was the only of 4 siblings to be born in the DR. They came from Spain scaping the war. She's 100% white. Just like my great grandmother couldn't even speak spanish straight she was African or at least an 2 generation daughter of slaves.
So true, for them, doesn't matter how dark they might look, Dominicans always consider themselves whites. This doesn't happen with black Latinos in other countries, whom are always proud of their race.
I just think it’s interesting that most often, people omit Haiti as a Latin American country. I wonder how much of that is due to most Haitians identifying more with their African roots and Creole over French
Jess J and that’s a whole new debate for me because I never thought of Canada as possibly being Latin America. I always see LatAm as the Caribbean basically
@@bd9524 Or former colonies. Because France and Spain are not called Latin Europeans. So there is a lot of hidden meanings to the term. I dont care for it. I prefer Hispanic for former Spanish colonies which leaves Brazil without a similar label.
Once again you've presented the general public with a very educational and in-depth video. North-Americans and Europeans tend to consider "Latin Americans" as a racial/ethnic group. That simply doesn't exist. What exists it's a cultural background based in cultural features derived from the Iberian colonial powers, just that. By that standard, Québec should be considered part of the "Latino" world. Even the use of the term "Latino", presented in both portuguese and spanish languages, indicates this will of trying to transform a cultural background into a racial/ethnic denomination. To me this is extremely bothering, cause it seems that others tend to see us here as opposed to an idea of an "American" world. I mean: those born in the United States, with no Iberian surnames and no phenotypic characteristics that can be understood and read as "latin" (wherever that could be), will be considered white, and, therefore, "normal" according to the standards and aesthetic values of those with political and communicational power.
Don't be too prejudiced ;) I've always known (as a European) 'latin' is not a racial or ethnic group. How can curly-haired, dark-skinned, full-lipped people and blonde, blue-eyed, thin-lipped people belong to the same ethnic group? Latin America has a lot of diversity, and I just saw all Americans as 'Americans' when I was little and from the moment I heard of the 'white Americans', 'black americans' and 'latin-americans (which is white, black and everything else and in between) it didn't make sense to me.
The word "Latino" isn't even used by Latin Americans themselves, only the full term, "latinoamericano". Using the contraction is considered an Americanism perpetuated by Hispanic Americans and immigrants in the US.
@@1685Violin , yes, we dont't use (I'm Brazilian). In Brazil it's said latino-americano, with words separeted. But anyway, my point is the use of term with an racial/ethnic conotation, something that doesn't exist among us at all.
@@gittevandevelde2208 , have I done any prejudiced comment here? Listen, I'm Brazilian, with Italian and Portuguese roots, and I think I have first hand information, knowledge and understanding about where I LIVE. What I'm saying here is that this labels imposed upon people that live south of the US are totally arbitrary when considering that as a racial/etnical group, cause people that live in the area called "Latin America" are very, very heterogeneous. In Brazil, for instance, there people thar live in cities heavily colonized by Germans, others by people of African descent. The point is, once again, and in case you haven't got it yet: there is no such a thing as a "Latin American" people in racial or ethnic terms.
@The Guru of Kang , have you filled any form in the US, specially the form for the Social Security, from the The United States Social Security Administration? There they consider "Latin Americans" as a homogenic racial/ethnic group. Going further, have you ever watched sitcoms e movies from the US? It's commom to depict people from the south of the border as such. The majority of North-Americans and Europeans see "Latin Americans" as a homogenic racial/ethnic group indeed.
Actually Brazillian football team is Black; Marcelo, Maicon, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Carlos, Ronaldinho, Alves, Neymar, Adriano, Fernandinho, Casemiro, Maicon, Vinicius, Pele e.t.c They are Black
@@Dennis_Okelo no. None of them are black, all of them are mixed raced. If you think they're are black you probably never saw a real black person. Just Pelé and Vinícius Jr are black Call these people that mentioned like black is the same thing that call them white or indigenous. The logic for a normal person Milk: white Cofee: black Milk + coffee : mixed The logic for a dumb person Milk= white Coffee = black Coffee + milk = black It's like say 2+ 2 is 5 or something like this. Just look at images from angola, nigeria, congo (countries that afro-brazilians came) and you see that neither of the players of our team is like them. Obviously, they're all mixed, they're mulatos, caboclos, cafuzos, trirracials or white, just Vinicius Jr is black at our team. Obs: if you find some nigerian or angolan like these people, they're mixed, exist mixed people at these african countries too but they're few. Just South Africa has a great amount of mixed people (coloured)
@@bennomedina-quinsella4763You hit the nail on the head!! That is exactly right; and the way they keep minorities in their place is to fool them into believing there is no racism as their racism is more subtle and entrenched in a sort of class/caste system!
I am afrocubano and fall under the 5% who practice an African spiritual belief system only that we do not call it santeria but OSHA/IFA or lucumi. Santeria was a term used by the Spanish to describe our practices of using catholic saints to hide the fact that we were giving adoration to the orishas. Very good and informative video.

According to my DNA results I have 10% African genes. 20% Arab, 35% Native american, 35% European. We are not a race. We are a culture. Im from Honduras.
Drom Assault, if you’re going to use IQ as the standard of assessing the intelligence of groups of people, then Ashkenazi Jews are above you (assuming you’re not an Ashkenazi Jew), but Ashkenazim would not dare to claim to be smarter than any other group precisely because their intelligence allows them to realize that IQ testing is based on testing and assessment criteria that is culturally biased and will by their design make certain cultures score higher because they are based on those cultural assessment criteria.
La Mejor I’m from the state of Guerrero my family looks are of three different shades. Since I was little I always wondered why. I’ve always been a fan of history and ancestry. On my father’s there is black in our family, some look mulato with green eyes and on my mother side look Asian or Filipino. Look up La Nao de China. Acapulco was a very busy port of trade between Europe and Asia. Lots of people stayed. Look it up it’s so cool !
The real latin country's France, Portugal, Spain, Romania, Greece, Retia , Italy. And the latin language is a dead language. Know no country speaks latin.
I recently watched Beyoncé‘s film “Black is King”, it was an artist expression and celebration of the global black experience, tying it back to Africa, through the lens of ‘The Lion King’ story. However, I was shocked by the films omission of the strong diasporic ties between Africa and Latin America. Shocked but not surprised, it’s often a blind spot, but the film missed a big opportunity to put it centre stage, since most Africans outside of the continent are in Central and South America. Oh well ... 🤷♀️🤷
She actually did reference the experience if you observe more deeply: Jessie Reyez: Afro-Colombiana Toronto based rapper who interpreted the Scar scene Shake: Dominicana New Jersey based singer/rapper on the music track album Spiritual women dressed in all white gowns/headresses during the first scene, the Nile/Denial/funeral scene & My Power to represent the synchronicity of Yoruba Orisha worship garb in Cuban Santeria, Brazilian condomble Bahianas, Haitian mambo priestesses and New Orleans traditional Creole Funeral practices The Agogô instrument or iron cowbells rhythm of the track: Ja Ara E by Burna Boy resembling the Latin clave beat or Hambone and the club nightlife Water music scene: Traditional Cuban danza folklorico in the pink orisha dress & Samba dance and footwork at the end in the Bahiana/Axé style technique, Tofo tofo dancers from Mozambique the most Latin/Portuguese country in East Africa, similar champeta footwork from Afro-Colombian culture The entire Christian & Orisha theme of the film is the greatest homage felt to unite the Afro-Latin experience to augment her collaborations with Shakira and performances in Brazil and visit to Cuba. Artistic films are not meant to show some things as explicitly as we would like, sometimes we gota look deeper
F G Thanks for this I did actually recognise Jesse race and some other things you listed on my second viewing, the thing is a lot of these references go over the head of many people and it would’ve been nice to make it a bit more clear for Joe public, it’s heavily researched, however if they indeed want to be informative / educational it has to be accessible and digestible to the public..the nuance will be lost on millions. I would have insisted on partially shooting some of the film in Latin America, to make that link unmistakable, they clearly had the budget to 😂
F G When I was typing my response I thought to myself I hope you don’t think I’m coming across to judgemental, I actually did enjoy the film very much, But you give me such a snarky response 🙄 the Film was great but it’s not perfect, it has its flaws, as many film critics and think pieces have already pointed out.
Julian Castaneda Black (Negro as we are known is a race not a %)... Spain forced us out, the Portugal but us out sent us to west Africa... The Taínos are negro as well... Negro brought from west Africa spoke Spanish ... i don’t think your Afro Latino sorry bud...
MRXYZ sounds like u know what your saying but your a little confused with the bywords u are using ... All Tainos came out of Africa ...2nd .. they are not call American Indians when from the Island of Puerto Rico etc... ... 3rd Taions are a Negroid race.... thus the term African can be used... last my mom family are Tainos so I’m more than positive I understand our history ... just to make it clear- we speak Hebrew and the Ethnic Israelites
One of the many corrections I could make to this video:In Colombia, for instance, the reason why there’s no much black representation in the media has more to do with racism and colorism rather than location as you pointed out. In fact that’s the case in most Latin countries. We are also taught to hate our blackness and worship all things European. Also take into consideration how oppressed as a people Afrolatinos are. We are oppressed to the point of not even have had an actual civil rights movement.
Duece Lee Productions Thanks for pointing that out. It’s unfortunate when non- Afrolatinos try to misrepresent or dismiss our experience. Thanks for the kind comment 😊
I was glad to hear your comment that we Black Latinos are more of a cultural group rather than a racial one. Discrimination in all Latin America is more based on class structures and education rather than race. In comparison, I always remember what Malcom X said in a debate with a Black professor which basically said that no matter if you are a Phd, to a white supremacist in the the USA you are still the "N΅ word. We blacks in Latin America also had two other factors: the Church declared African "human" in the the 17th century and thus came under its protection with the black family becoming sacred and remaining intact. The second was that slavery under the Spanish and Portuguese was based on the ancient Roman system in which Slavery was an accident and anyone could be it victim. Under this system you could always buy your way out of being owned by another human. Whites, Brown people, Asians, and Blacks were always part of the slave populations in Latin America. In the USA black became synonymous with slave. It was like having a Star of David on your clothes during the Nazi era except it was the color of your skin. The influence of black culture especially its musical traditions and dance are part of rock, jazz, salsa, and all types of music throughout most of the world. You can say most of the world is has now become black via culture. I am 14% sub-saharan african (which under Jim Crow laws would put me in the back of the bus) but my paternal hapolog is J-P58 which witnessed the founding of agriculture and civilization. My ancestors probably painted the caves of Altamira in Spain and Lascaux in France. And this 30k years before the white race genetically existed which only sprang up 9 thousand years ago as these humans went north. Blacks in the West were always the dominant group and all people derived from us.
Some much knowledge in your comment.. thank you for noting the difference between chattel slavery in America & slavery in Latin America.. a black American's slave ancestry travels with them thru generations.. USA has made native born black Americans there the permanent bottom caste
The church declared us human wow we needed the church's approval to be human think about that in u.s. slavery has nothing to do with how black Latinos are treated amongst Latinos.
@@stefenjordan968 no do you realize African American slaves excaped the united states o go to the Spanish emote atleast the Spanish treated them in more humane manners and don't cry about it anyone could be a slave in the spanish empire even a Spaniard could be a slave if they did something very wrong so don't try to talk shit about Spain when you know the usa is much worse

All the horrible comments aside, let me clarify. In Texas, you will meet a lot of people who maybe or maybe don't self identify as "Mexican", have dark skin, and with a Spanish last name. For example, I have a friend that's from Houston. But I suppose he would tell you that he's "Mexican", even though his family has been in (what is presently called) Texas since before Texas was even a state / country / etc. Not 1st, 2nd 3rd generation Mexican Americans. the ones who never "migrated" but who just had the border changed on them.
I am Jamaican and proud of my African ancestry. Appreciate the video depicting Afro descendants in Central America, the Caribbean and South America from a Latino perspective. It is true there still exist class ism and colour ism base up looks, a sour fragment of the legacy of British Chattel Slavery which also applies to the Dutch, French, Portuguese and Spanish colonists. However, the Rasta Communities and the Maroon Communities In Jamaica are a great buffer to those negativism and thus is regularly played out in our social arts of which the music reggae is a great participant.
I'm a white Latino and my best friend is a black Latino. We have a lot of fun when we go to the US for work and people get confused when they see we have Spanish last names
Latino is not a race it's a culture dumbass you you are a mixed race you are not pure and you're definitely not and European Spaniard you want to be but it's not happening you are an mutts
Jeremiah 12:9-11 King James Version 9 Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. 10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. 11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

"Dark as night" dominicans as you say know that they're black but identify with their country because being dominican is not a race but a nationality. If a black Dominican from nyc calls himself black how would you know that person is dominican??? All you have to do is look at them to see their skin color. Country comes before race.
@@cecegiles7753 and who the hell are you? Lol... You know more about Dominican history than actual dominicans?... You sound like a Haitian nationalist.
Thank You Masaman for Bringing to the forefront a "hidden knowledge" within the latin community! I've Always known South and Central America has the most concentration of Black Life outside of Africa itself! Keep up the good work! 🙂
Obama denies his white race..as do so many mixed blacks... its funny how someone has little black DNA they supposed to call themselves black.. but people who have 50 % of more European DNA.. are still suppose to say they are black..
Yes, thank you! I am Puerto Rican and I am proud to say I’m mixed with black, white, and native. In the US, people would probably say that my dad is a light-skinned black man and my mom a regular ol’ Latina. But we’re all just one big racial soup, and as such everyone in my family looks different. Some are pale and blonde, some are very dark skinned with straight hair, some look black, some are medium-skinned with big curls, some are whiter than a ghost with afros! In PR we tend not to put people into racial categories, but if we label people it’s by skin color. My mom and brother would be blancos, my dad and I prietos, and my sister morena. My sister is very dark skinned with straight jet black hair and her oldest two kids are very white with curls and her little one is medium-skinned like me.
Ashley Valentin - do you have Instagram that you’re willing to share? I’d like to see what you look like, I know that’s weird but I’m a nosy person who’s interested in what ethnically mixed people look like given that I am one myself.
Lu Cer I’m a full person actually. If I were a hybrid person I’d have wings and a robot eye. Sounds like you actually hate yourself. Lol. I love who I am, and I love that I can read a history book and know that multiple parts are talking about my ancestors from all over the world. It’s great. You should try being less angry some time. Lol
I am light complected, curvy, Mexican American who for years people have asked me what my ethnicity is as by my looks it's very ambiguous. Of course I knew my great grandparents had Spanish blood as they had green eyes and said for years they were Meztizos. All of my grandparents were born in Mexico and I am 3rd Generation Mexican American. I am proud to say after many years of saying that I knew Mexicans have African blood and I knew I had some type of Asian in me bc of my eyes all of my assumptions were true! I recently got my DNA test and I have 8 ethnicities. Central American, Native American, Iberian, Finland, Nigeria, W. African, Eskimo Inuit, and Middle Eastern. What are the odds of having all those beautiful ethnicities in me?! 💝 I am proud of ALL of My ethnicities!! That's how God chose to make me and I love myself! I wish people would stop looking at people's color and just accept people by who they really are. Be proud of your history, of where you come from, different cultures, and languages are beautiful. I love learning about my history, thus why I am here! If I know of my past I will be able to leave this great history to my grandkids and generations to come. Like my 92 year old grandma always says, "Recordar Es Vivir". " To remember is to live!" There is too much hate in this world! How about some love for some change, but it all starts with us accepting ourselves how we are! We are mixed and it's okay! I like to call myself Mixican bc of all of my blends.
@@joneandi37 I have met plenty of people who only identified themselves as Mexican "Mestizo" or mostly European and a little bit of Indigenous American... and with curly a** hair and/or a big bubble booty and/or full lips and/or a broad nose... so on and so forth... will breeze over possibly have Black in them just because of certain recessive genes like pale skin, light eyes or very straight dark hair... which not all Mexicans have... It is 2019. Instead of arguing with a stranger on the internet... instead of defending yet another racial bigot who is so pissed off at the idea that there are Mexicans finding out that they have African blood (even though, anyone who has studied world history, especially in regards to the Americas would never be that surprised or angered by some of these results)... I say take an autosomal DNA test... along with a mitochondrial test if you are a woman and a Y-Chromosome test if you are a man... make it a family activity between you, your siblings and parents and then argue the whole "most of us don't have black in us"... ONLY when you've found out for sure. No need to debate with me, or convince me of anything when the technology is out there to confirm (or disprove) whatever you were raised to believe. But there are a lot of you in denial lol. But ok... BET. In closing... not all of you have Black in you... but a lot of you do and do not know it... and I know this by just looking at many of you. I'm from Southern Cali and have known plenty of Mexicans and others from Central America. And I've seen plenty dominant African physical features that for sure did not come from a pure European ancestor or Indigenous ancestor... but to each his/her own. ...lo siento no siento, mami... or muchacho if you're a guy lol.
@ameasdf So even with 2.7% that have shown itself via your hair and lips... your response is as though it equates to 0% and therefore that 2.7%, dominant Black blood, dominant enough to still SHOW in your phenotype... you rather give credit to ancestors who carried more recessive genes.. and weren't dominant enough to give you thin lips and bone straight hair... Lmbo. Whatever makes you feel better. Thank you for proving my point. Now if you re-read my previous comment... I make the point that many Mexicans have Black in them and do not know it... I never went into "how much". You know why? I know better to assume the definitive without tangible proof. I simply stated that by observation... I can see a mixture that goes beyond European and Indigenous. So my argument still stands ;-)
@Dan Field clearly You did not see the media comments when he was elected, they claimed him as the first black person to be elected presidente in the continent not only us
Mexico has Jewish President and the US a Jew is going the be the 1st Gentlemen if Kamala Harris (her husband is Jewish) of Jamaican Indian descent was elected her Vice President who’s Vice President is of Native American as Governor of Minnesota
I'm black, from Portugal! Some Ppl like to call me "African Latina" but I identify myself as "African descent" European or "Afro-Portuguese. not just because I have" Caucasian blood/white ppl " in my family but because how I was raised since young age! Even though not knowing much abt Western African culture where my father is originally from, I feel I have a strong connection with my African ancestors. ❤ #proudblackwoman #loveafrica ❤♥❤♥
@Horvat Lovren Spanish and British aren't races or ethnicities. Anybody that's from any country in Europe has every right to identify with that country. Just as any Asian, Indian, or middle eastern person born and raised here is American.
@@KingLeno lol I don't understand why youre wasting your precious time correcting a racist fool?! no matter what you say he will always hate and say foolish things. You can give a person knowledge, but you can't make them think. Some ppl want to remain fools, only because the TRUTH requires change. Don't waste your time mate. Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Why is it dumbass African Descendents go out of thier way to ignore national or tribal affiliation? West Africa isnt a fucking NATION OR TRIBE. So revise your comment to not be so helpful to White Supremacy. African Nation and Tribeof said nation. Dumb shit like that from "African Descendants" pisses me off. Its funny you mentioned Portugal (a country) and West Africa (a region on a continent). Goes to show how much you value that "African" or "West African" culture.
Great video ! I’m Panamanian and I make videos on my channel about this all the time. I speak on the fact that people come here from their countries and act like there are no black Hispanics . Africans were literally everywhere. English is not subjected to black peoples . It’s the colonizers language just as Spanish . So they act so shocked when I seal Spanish when they know damn well back home people look like me lol 🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦

@@og-greenmachine8623 it is because in Brazil we call black people "afro-descendente", their ancestors are black from Africa, most of us are mixed so a lot of dark skin and light skin is "afro-descendente", but a lot is not even called black, we called "pardo" which means that the person is not white and black neither.
*meets new Dominican friend *looks at picture he posted of himself me: oh I see you’re black him: im not black me: ok... my bad I meant African him: I’m not african either me: ... guess the rest of the story
The generalizations of dominicans in the comments is annoying like if there are only black people in dominican republic ie spanish expats, chinese expats, arab expats, jewish expats etc
Bobby Hill Well, in my case, I only assumed he was black *after* seeing his face. But I’d sort of agree with you I guess, because I’ve begun to think of the RD in a more generalized way (blacks / mixed people) than before I knew anything of it.. Still, I’m just saying that I met a Dominican guy who had a majority of “black” or African in him (like facial features) apart from his skin *tone* , which is pretty fair. My viewpoint, like others, see that the background with features a person exhibits the strongest dominate over other ones they possess, and from them is what they would belong to and look like. So because of this, I was sort of confused as to why he kept denying _at least half_ of what he is. But he just kept appealing to his culture/nationality rather than.. well...race I guess. I’m not sure how I should feel about it though.
elbasu libra well no, I agree with you on that part Dominicans who don’t see their blackness, me being American whose mom is a spanish dominican and dad is Peruvian, when I went to the Dominican Republic a family friend who was light skinned but obvious black facial feature they would call him blanco and I told my cousin he’s not white don’t you see his face, you see my point, it’s their culture, but when you have African Americans generalizing like that I feel less Dominican, because I’m not black, my mothers parents are spanish expats from Catalunya, it’s like mixed African Americans who feel less black when ridiculed by full black kids, I’ve seen it
elbasu libra I honestly do believe this is an American issue as race was the divider in America, and the term race was heavily used as propaganda for white Americans
Bobby Hill Yea there’s definitely a stigma here where any and sometimes some black in you makes you basically all black and no real consideration of other stuff you have within you.(a debate with the guy I mentioned helped me realize this.)Also, My uncle mentioned how if a black person and a white person have a baby then the baby is *black* (irregardless of their features or skin tone) which I find quite ridiculous but eh. Apart from this I find it hard to view other people in terms of their races/ethnicities, because at times people can be “black” yet full of other stuff. It’s more or so the things harder to put a finger on. But I think culture has to do with it as well, as most “light skins”are also are part of things black, raised similarly, live around/ the same environments, etc. so it’s easier to consider them as such.. I wonder, if a baby born from a white mom and a black dad came out with physical features majority from mom-like skin tone yet some from her dad-like her nose-would she be considered white?
hiya sisters yes you are the Haitians were the first county to gain independence. Brazilians are considered Latino and don’t even speak Spanish, why aren’t you? You’re just as Latino, you’re from Latin America and your diaspora of the Dominicans

@@mysyicbarbie I always say geographically I am Latin American as a Haitian American but I don't claim to be Latina nor do I claim latinidad unless on documents. One can have Black pride and Latinx pride at the same time but it's hard for me to rep a community that doesn't even see me as valid half of the time. I also don't want to be associated with a community that unlike us Haitians we reject our slaveowners and colonizers, much of the Latinx community wants so badly to claim ties to spain and europeaness.
I'm a black Venezuelan (Will Smith's tone) and some people from the States or Spain gets surprised as they don't know there are black people in Venezuela because on the media (news, tv shows, movies) everybody is white and black characters are always slaves or thugs, and if there are black people being interviewed on the tv they are athletes or singers. We black people were brought to the Americas and we got split onto many different nations with different 'massa' we need to come all together as one, share our knowledge and wisdom and built up a black nation worldwide.
In Europe we know you are a messed up bunch in the Americas. You do know most of the best South American football players are in Europe? And that Western Europe is currently the migration hotspot for the last 4 decades?
My father is from Puerto Rico. My grandfather is definitely non black but my grandmother's father is afro Latino and my great grandmother is black mixed race Puerto Rican. My family has always told me we are mixed and we celebrate all parts of us.
Great video as usual my friend. Just a small note because you mentioned it. Dougla is not so much a Latino term as it is an Anglo-Caribbean term, more specifically a Trinidadian and Guyanese term for someone of West African and East Indian background.

Take it from a black American that visits the Dominican Republic frequently. I both Love and hate their interpretation of their ethnicity. I love it because it shows how much they value the unity that just describing yourself as one race(mostly Latino) but I hate it because of the society it bred where those that are lighter are valued a lot more than dark skinned Dominicans 😞
@@donaldlyons180 Yes, most dominicans are of african descent, but what americans don't understand is that in DR (and a lot of other countries for whats it's worth) we don't apply the absurd one drop rule. For us black is just a skin color, not a race. When a dominican guy that looks like Colin Kaepernick or Drake tells you he is not black, he is not denying his african ancestry, he's just stating that his skin is not dark, that's it. To recognize our african ancestry we don't have to deny our spanish one, those thing are not mutually exclusive. And nobody in DR believes they are spanish, that is BS, we are just dominicans.
@@alexistaverasparra3842 but they are ALWAYS SO PROUD of their TAINO heritage! They go on and on about the TAINO contributions to their phenotype and their culture but HARDLY ever talk about the African part.
It is global, if you are light skinned in most of the world you will be valued, I was in Africa in the late 90s people saw white as god like this is like 20 years ago people thought this. It was worse 50 years ago, people thought whites were gods, were anyone who is white would be trusted unconditionally. some places are more open about it than others, white is seen as godlike and black is seen and sub par, below average, it is used in the language.
Alexis Taveras if Dominicans didn’t deny thier African heritage than they wouldn’t treat hatians with discontent.... When you have a chance watch “blacks in Latin America” by Skip Gates and you will see how brain washed they are

Very interesting video. Personally, I can confirm that part where you say "white" Latinos have at least 10% black on their ancestry DNA. I recently had a DNA test and found out that I have bits of different part of Africa (Benin, Togo, Ghana, etc.) and those conform that 10%, which I always suspect I had but in our family ancestry records and memories weren't clear. I also discover my European background is also more complex that only Spanish, also Italian, Portuguese, French, Celtic, Greek, Turkish, and furthermore Arabic and even Persian..., and the North and South Native American percentage (about 25%). So yes, basically I'm a DNA salad as I presume lots of latinamericans are.
As a person of Dominican origin I found this piece to be a rarity, a very fair and balanced representation of the racial dynamics in DR. Kudos to you, sir.
You have no idea how much I appreciated this, and I shared it with my wife who is from Mexico!! Thank you she got educated, and I am from a Caribbean parent who's family was Cuban and Haitian! I do speak Spanish!!
Courtney.My Haitian pastor spoke French,Spanish and English.Its so much ignorance.The Caribbean and Latin Americans are the same people.At times the ignorance frustrates me at times.
What I hate as a Hispanic or whatever I am is when you have to fill out the race section in any form/document. Can't there be a hybrid option at least.
@@rogerm7774 lmaooooo, you can be light brown and be considered "Black" in USA....No one's skin is actually black, in case you havent noticed dude lmaoooo
Religions such as Voodoo (Vudon), and Santería have NOT died out in the US but has more or less has gone underground. No one knows the exact numbers but it has been said that there are around 250,000 practitioners of Santería in New York City alone. It is practiced not only Latinos but, Black and White Americans as well.
Finally a video that raises awareness of Afro-Latino without taking the cringe BuzzFeed or AJ+ route

what are u talking about finally?
it be nice to demonstrate our European roots for once
daBIGJuiCE619 it’s almost as if Afro-Latinos have more to their history and culture than “racists say mean things to me”
Gustavo Rodriguez for once? White Latinos are over represented in every Latin American country, while every other ethnic group is pretty much undermined
Not just white Latinos but white mestizos specifically are over represented as well. Northern Mexico. Southern Brazil. Parts of Chile. Uruguay. Argentina. Parts of Colombia. Parts of Cuba as well.
I am from Colombia and my grandmother is black and I am proud of my roots.
Nice

USA from white riot was black stop is then history
Thank jesua

As black latino (colombian) I really appreciate this video. Good job Masaman !
Hola
@FEAR KCP depends of what mixture you are talking about. It's true most latinos are mixed and good part of them have african ancestry but actually most latinos are mestizos, people of european and native american descent, there are also white latinos, black latinos like me and asian latinos

I’ve you travel to Salvador, Brasil you will see how much they embrace being African. I truly believe that is the most Afro place outside of Subsaharan Africa.
Nestor Paz Not remotely. El Salvador like Guatemala is primarily Mayan. I’ve been there many time and could count with one hand the actual blacks I’ve seen. Haiti on the other hand...
Random Ami you didn’t read the reply properly I said Salvador, Bahia Brasil... it’s by far one of the most Afro places in Latin America. Just do a quick search here on TH-cam or Google.
I know El Salvador is mainly Mayan, I’m from Nicaragua we are as well.
Boiz Chillen you obviously misunderstood what I said all countries in the African Continent are obviously African, but it’s no secret that the tribes and people north of the Sahara have a different complexion, and also most of the African diaspora in the Americas is of West African ancestry.
And I didn’t coin the term sub-Saharan and I also am not segregating “races” just stating facts that most of the people brought to the Americas during the slave trade are from a certain region and the people of Salvador tend to really embrace their culture more than other places I’ve visited.
Now I don’t know how you could have taken offense to what I said...
Boiz Chillen I’ve seen it for myself as well as I have traveled the region. And I don’t know about other people I can only speak for myself and that’s not how I mean it. Either way the continent as a whole is beautiful and the diversity is what makes it what it is.
@Boiz Chillen Those in North Africa pick and choose when they will identify as Africans. Some of us dont see them as Africans because they are more racist against sub Saharan Africans than whites. They are in Africa geographically but we do not have much contact except in sports.
Both of my parents are from Panama 🇵🇦 and I was born and raised in Brooklyn NY. I still consider myself as a black Latina!

In Brooklyn you are black in Panamá just a panameña
@W Gaston what?? How you gonna look at a black woman and tell her she's an Anglo 🤣🤣
W Gaston That’s under the assumption that nobody speaks Spanish in the USA when many people are bilingual already. With that logic are French speakers from Africa or Quebec “Latino”?
My mom is Garifuna from Honduras. They speak Spanish. But our native tongue is Garifuna ✊🏾
Say my boy...... y'all are indigenous to that area. Y'all are not shipwrecked African slave or nothing. Your people always have inhabited that area before the slave trade was thought of.
That’s whats up I’m from there too
My parents are Nicaraguan from Bluefields. There were a number of Garifuna people around there. My grandma used to trade and sell with the local group to the point when she became fluent. Apparently my Grandpa was too. My mom said that whenever her parents argued they did so in Garifuna so that the kids wouldn't understand. Kids always do though.
@@knowledgeseeker8582 Stop. All African peoples in Latin America are descendants of slaves brought by the Spanish. I dont know what makes you believe otherwise.

Were are the descendants of the blacks that were seen in the Americas before the slave trade?
Keep overlooking the dark skins woolly hair people that were seen and found(bones that similar to modern day blacks, not the east Asians and Siberians).

As a white-mestizo Colombian man, I didn't know that African Latinos were so unknown for US Americans. Afro-Colombians have an important history and a remarkable presence and role here. Yes, they are mostly concentrated on the Pacific coast, but also they can be seen throughout the whole land.
What is a white, mestizo boy?
@@javiervega1065 Here, in Colombia, official census places whites and mestizos under the same category. I'm actually mixed Spanish, Italian, Muysca and U'wa. That means, I don't identify myself as white, but in writing “white-mestizo” that's my point: any categorisation is subjective.
White-mestizo should.be distinguosed from mestizo-whites.😂😂
Even the non - black Latins here act like they don’t exist
@@javiervega1065 Dummy, the Spanish are European white! And, they mixed with indigenous (Native-American women) that gave birth to Mestizo. Over 85% of the population of El Salvador is white-mestizo, how is that? The Spanish mixed with the Lenca, Pipil, and other indigenous people!!!
Latin America was actually more heavily impacted by the Trans-Atlantic slave trade than even the U.S.

pepe0801
And?
Thank you. Finally someone said it. LATINO/ HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE💗
A big problem is that the world overall follows the US in trends and many things science are connected to our everyday lives and pop culture. The US (and Australia, UK) sets the great majority of world trends. Many people bash and point the finger at the US yet, they love this country. They love it's celebrities so much that many listen to what they have to say AS IF these celebrities were actually unselfishly smart. It's "America" that is the cause of the ignorance you mention: It is Latin America itself. They are not united. There is hatred in every country and towards neighboring countries. There is hatred among most various ethnicities of such whatever Latino-Americans (here in the US). While such hatreds and dislikes of fellow nationalities and races and ethnicities without fail exists all over the world, the Latino population in the US is the third largest here yet, they fight among themselves and therefore are kept from reaching obvious prosperity. Most "Caribbean" Latinos are respected here, and most who are black and white Latino's, but it is the Mexican, most Central Americans, and the Native-American-Mix Latinos who are targeted with mass hate (racism) here in the US. It is the voiceless Latino community that allows "America" to be "soo ignorant." Look at music. While there are many, many Spanish names in this industry, hardly any Spanish name ever makes it BIG. Pitbull (while in name is English everyone automatically knew he was Latino) had some big hits in the past but he needed black and white features in his songs (even so no one hated him here). Christina Aguilera. She was a big success, but I guarantee you had she come out today she would Not have been a third as big. Gloria Estefan. Carlos Santana. Who else? Ricky Martin? Shakira? Enrique Iglesias? Jlo? They had a couple hits and it took place during the height of the worlds Salsa music explosion which without it I doubt they would have had half the fame they now have or had. Its seems Santana, Xtina and Pitbull had the longest run yet they were nowhere near king or queen status. Selena Gomez? She has had success, and the media has taken notice of the mass "hate"(bigotry) she selectively receives and so she has been embraced by some Big named business (Coach, Pantene, Puma namely). Without their help or genuine liking of her, she would be successful but not as much. The racist masses have Selected Her, Selena, as the scapegoat for racists, and I mean racism comes from ALL races and ethnicities, not just from whites. East Asians are the only ones I have not come across by mass numbers as racists towards Selena. Racists come up with many and any excuse to hate on Selena: The Mexican--that is what they see about her. But is the Un-unity of the overall American Latino that keeps Selena, and other Latinos who want to reach the stars, from becoming a huge name in the world and respected. It is The Mexican, Central American (overall), and the Native-American-Mix (all of none "Caribbean" background) who are the real targets of racism in the USA, Australia and the UK, and from there is spreads world wide. These Latinos, most, don't support Selena's, Becky G's music, they don't support Spanish actors' movies, and so the Spanish name overall will keep being a thing to dismiss and ignore and no one will care what the Spanish name has to say. Latinos are not a race, but it should be.
Lmao The Dotard isn't building a wall in the north. fucking imbicle.
Then what are we ???
There is a huge variety of races in Latin America, so we could be anything, such as Caucasians, Blacks, Mestizos, Native Americans, Mulattos, etc. In my opinion, using the term 'Latino' or 'Hispanic' as a race to refer or describe someone it's pretty dumb nor accurate.

Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

Yall ain't African. You're Brazilian. The non blacks are the ones not indigenous to YOUR land.
B. Wynn did I say I was an African? I just said about my roots and genetic heritage
Akanni maybe. As some other persons are not proud on who they are. That’s related to human nature to that ones which don’t have enough knowledge
Fu**in awesome. It’s about time African roots in Latin America are finally shown
J V African roots have been in Latin America for a long time, do your history. Millions of slaves were brought to Latin America, even more than the U.S . If you knew that, then you would think before speaking. My family and I have a mix of West African, indigenous American and Spanish blood. If only YOU knew the truth that this is real. Stay woke to the truth ✊🏾✊🏾 don’t judge others if you don’t know yourself
@J V we actually already have that stuff here, I mean our culture is westerm. our religion is western, we for the majority look like western, but we aren't western in the views of the west, I mean I don't know a single bit about African culture and stuff yet people want to put us on the same box as those different from the west even if the US is kinda like a cousin for us
@John Smith 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lmfaoooo
Exactly!
@@vitmartobby5644 It's called capitalism! They lump Hispanics with blacks based on class. Italians for example used to have a place in Harlem called Italian Harlem but they decided enough was enough and better themselves and got the fuck out. Hispanics could do the same thing but the Liberal party gives them free hand outs so they decided to allow themselves to side with the blacks willingly.
@Adrian Nieves African roots ??? We don’t even have Latino history in schools and if we do it’s massively incomplete or false. I agree with you that we should show our african side more but you should also want to learn your Latino history which is massively mis represented or not even talked about.

I am afromexican Phillipino Italian Spanish German Mexico used to have alot more blacks years back the Indians of Mexico were strong that's why there's not alot of blacks in Mexico
Afromexicans many are half native American half black geneticaly
@@alancisneros5391 they were bred out when you have a population that is mostly made up of men that is what usually happens! This is why so many Mexicans especially from the South and Coahuila have percentages of African DNA! Don't get me wrong Coahuila aren't the same as those that are down South the ones down South are the descendants of Spanish slaves who were brought to Mexico and the ones from Coahuila/ Nuevo León are the descendants of runaway slaves from the U.S!
I also have African in me, so it's pretty common many Latinos have Native American, Afro and European, just everyone has one ethnicity features stronger than others.
But the percentages vary greatlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Someone who has 98% of European descent and 2% of Sub-Saharan African is a WHITE person period!
But in the US, idiots actually believe in the ignorant, inane and illogical STUPID "1-Drop" Rule that was invented by WHITE, ILLITERATE, UNEDUCATED, SYPHILITIC, TOOTHLESS slave-owners to keep their mixed-race off-spring from inheriting their estate and to guarantee their WHITE off-spring would inherit it all...so they invented the "rule" to exclude any off-spring that was not all-White!
West African in u not African in general u got nothing of north or horn African in anyone in the americas

I agree black girls have gorgeous bodies. This coming from a mexican
Black American. After doing genetic testing I found distant relatives all over Latin America, from Cuba and Puerto Rico to Brazil. It was interesting to find. Slaves were traded between the Americas as well as directly from Africa.
I've known this since I was a kid particularly through watching football (soccer) in the 90s , the Colombian , Ecuadorian & Peruvian teams showcased this diversity, but due to the American political identity naarative I never really embraced this notion "Latinos are not a race but a cultural identity" 👍🏽
@pepe0801 well. Africans are better at football given the chance. Accept it.
@pepe0801 I repeat it again. Black people across the world don't get proper facilities to train and get an opportunity to enter the world cup.
@pepe0801 France won two world cups, and their squads aren't fully white.
pepe0801 African descent people from countries where sports are a big thing such as The U.S and some South American countries will always dominate. You saw how France won a World Cup cuz most the team are kids of African immigrants? And the U.S dominates in basketball and football cuz of black Americans? And Brazil best players are Afro Brazilians like Pele. if African Americans were in love with soccer as much as they love basketball they world be one of the biggest teams too.
@@xvxnzg9130 yes j agree but you can't say they are the best because like mostly white teams have won the world cup except France because of the massive amount f immigrants it has representing it's team but the sad thing is that European countries steal African players and then they claim them as their own but I mean yes Brazil has had great players of African decent
Dominican here, I can tell that for the most part you are right, but "negro" (black) is not only used for people of haitian origin, I could say it´s barely used at all. When we talk about "white" "indio" "mulato" "black" (we usually use prieto or moreno instead), we are usually talking about the actual color of the skin, not the racial background of a person, and it´s a very fluid thing. I myself have been called blanco (white), indio (indian), morenito (brown skin), moreno, and many others.
@Nplos Le error, o es negro o es mulato pero no existe tal cosa como "negro mulato", los mulatos son una mezcla entre negros y blancos, son un grupo aparte
@Nplos Le depende a quien le preguntes.

Myself and most geneticist don't believe in races anymore. My maternal grandfather was Lebanese but his Y DNA (R1b) was West European. My paternal grandfather was half Austrian but his Y DNA (E-M123) was middle east. My maternal grandmother from Martinique was blond with blue eye but her Mt DNA was African (L2A1).

Dude. At least 18% of DR population consider themselves white in the last census out of those 10 "i believe" are 100% whites. Just like 11% consider themselves 100% black.
Off course theres dominicans who consider themselves as white. My grandmother for example was the only of 4 siblings to be born in the DR. They came from Spain scaping the war. She's 100% white. Just like my great grandmother couldn't even speak spanish straight she was African or at least an 2 generation daughter of slaves.
If they have mostly European ancestry...then yea they can say they’re white. A white Dominican that is
So true, for them, doesn't matter how dark they might look, Dominicans always consider themselves whites. This doesn't happen with black Latinos in other countries, whom are always proud of their race.
I would believe them because the open door policy during ww2 gave DR a lot of white folks who are wary of mixing with blacks.
White Dominicans exist. As well as black but the majority are mixed
I just think it’s interesting that most often, people omit Haiti as a Latin American country. I wonder how much of that is due to most Haitians identifying more with their African roots and Creole over French

As an Afro-Latino (Black, Spanish/French Creole and Cuban), I take great pride in my both my Afro-American and Afro-Latino heritage.
Once again you've presented the general public with a very educational and in-depth video. North-Americans and Europeans tend to consider "Latin Americans" as a racial/ethnic group. That simply doesn't exist. What exists it's a cultural background based in cultural features derived from the Iberian colonial powers, just that. By that standard, Québec should be considered part of the "Latino" world. Even the use of the term "Latino", presented in both portuguese and spanish languages, indicates this will of trying to transform a cultural background into a racial/ethnic denomination. To me this is extremely bothering, cause it seems that others tend to see us here as opposed to an idea of an "American" world. I mean: those born in the United States, with no Iberian surnames and no phenotypic characteristics that can be understood and read as "latin" (wherever that could be), will be considered white, and, therefore, "normal" according to the standards and aesthetic values of those with political and communicational power.
Don't be too prejudiced ;) I've always known (as a European) 'latin' is not a racial or ethnic group. How can curly-haired, dark-skinned, full-lipped people and blonde, blue-eyed, thin-lipped people belong to the same ethnic group? Latin America has a lot of diversity, and I just saw all Americans as 'Americans' when I was little and from the moment I heard of the 'white Americans', 'black americans' and 'latin-americans (which is white, black and everything else and in between) it didn't make sense to me.
The word "Latino" isn't even used by Latin Americans themselves, only the full term, "latinoamericano". Using the contraction is considered an Americanism perpetuated by Hispanic Americans and immigrants in the US.
@@1685Violin , yes, we dont't use (I'm Brazilian). In Brazil it's said latino-americano, with words separeted. But anyway, my point is the use of term with an racial/ethnic conotation, something that doesn't exist among us at all.
@@gittevandevelde2208 , have I done any prejudiced comment here? Listen, I'm Brazilian, with Italian and Portuguese roots, and I think I have first hand information, knowledge and understanding about where I LIVE. What I'm saying here is that this labels imposed upon people that live south of the US are totally arbitrary when considering that as a racial/etnical group, cause people that live in the area called "Latin America" are very, very heterogeneous. In Brazil, for instance, there people thar live in cities heavily colonized by Germans, others by people of African descent. The point is, once again, and in case you haven't got it yet: there is no such a thing as a "Latin American" people in racial or ethnic terms.
@The Guru of Kang , have you filled any form in the US, specially the form for the Social Security, from the The United States Social Security Administration? There they consider "Latin Americans" as a homogenic racial/ethnic group. Going further, have you ever watched sitcoms e movies from the US? It's commom to depict people from the south of the border as such. The majority of North-Americans and Europeans see "Latin Americans" as a homogenic racial/ethnic group indeed.

I recently watched Beyoncé‘s film “Black is King”, it was an artist expression and celebration of the global black experience, tying it back to Africa, through the lens of ‘The Lion King’ story. However, I was shocked by the films omission of the strong diasporic ties between Africa and Latin America. Shocked but not surprised, it’s often a blind spot, but the film missed a big opportunity to put it centre stage, since most Africans outside of the continent are in Central and South America. Oh well ... 🤷♀️🤷
She actually did reference the experience if you observe more deeply:
Jessie Reyez: Afro-Colombiana Toronto based rapper who interpreted the Scar scene
Shake: Dominicana New Jersey based singer/rapper on the music track album
Spiritual women dressed in all white gowns/headresses during the first scene, the Nile/Denial/funeral scene & My Power to represent the synchronicity of Yoruba Orisha worship garb in Cuban Santeria, Brazilian condomble Bahianas, Haitian mambo priestesses and New Orleans traditional Creole Funeral practices
The Agogô instrument or iron cowbells rhythm of the track: Ja Ara E by Burna Boy resembling the Latin clave beat or Hambone and the club nightlife
Water music scene: Traditional Cuban danza folklorico in the pink orisha dress & Samba dance and footwork at the end in the Bahiana/Axé style technique, Tofo tofo dancers from Mozambique the most Latin/Portuguese country in East Africa, similar champeta footwork from Afro-Colombian culture
The entire Christian & Orisha theme of the film is the greatest homage felt to unite the Afro-Latin experience to augment her collaborations with Shakira and performances in Brazil and visit to Cuba.
Artistic films are not meant to show some things as explicitly as we would like, sometimes we gota look deeper

One of the many corrections I could make to this video:In Colombia, for instance, the reason why there’s no much black representation in the media has more to do with racism and colorism rather than location as you pointed out. In fact that’s the case in most Latin countries. We are also taught to hate our blackness and worship all things European. Also take into consideration how oppressed as a people Afrolatinos are. We are oppressed to the point of not even have had an actual civil rights movement.
The views of Afro latinos are under represented even here in the comment section. Thanks for your contribution.
Duece Lee Productions Thanks for pointing that out. It’s unfortunate when non- Afrolatinos try to misrepresent or dismiss our experience. Thanks for the kind comment 😊
I was glad to hear your comment that we Black Latinos are more of a cultural group rather than a racial one. Discrimination in all Latin America is more based on class structures and education rather than race. In comparison, I always remember what Malcom X said in a debate with a Black professor which basically said that no matter if you are a Phd, to a white supremacist in the the USA you are still the "N΅ word. We blacks in Latin America also had two other factors: the Church declared African "human" in the the 17th century and thus came under its protection with the black family becoming sacred and remaining intact. The second was that slavery under the Spanish and Portuguese was based on the ancient Roman system in which Slavery was an accident and anyone could be it victim. Under this system you could always buy your way out of being owned by another human. Whites, Brown people, Asians, and Blacks were always part of the slave populations in Latin America. In the USA black became synonymous with slave. It was like having a Star of David on your clothes during the Nazi era except it was the color of your skin.
The influence of black culture especially its musical traditions and dance are part of rock, jazz, salsa, and all types of music throughout most of the world. You can say most of the world is has now become black via culture. I am 14% sub-saharan african (which under Jim Crow laws would put me in the back of the bus) but my paternal hapolog is J-P58 which witnessed the founding of agriculture and civilization. My ancestors probably painted the caves of Altamira in Spain and Lascaux in France. And this 30k years before the white race genetically existed which only sprang up 9 thousand years ago as these humans went north. Blacks in the West were always the dominant group and all people derived from us.
Some much knowledge in your comment.. thank you for noting the difference between chattel slavery in America & slavery in Latin America.. a black American's slave ancestry travels with them thru generations.. USA has made native born black Americans there the permanent bottom caste
The church declared us human wow we needed the church's approval to be human think about that in u.s. slavery has nothing to do with how black Latinos are treated amongst Latinos.

It is 2019. Instead of arguing with a stranger on the internet... instead of defending yet another racial bigot who is so pissed off at the idea that there are Mexicans finding out that they have African blood (even though, anyone who has studied world history, especially in regards to the Americas would never be that surprised or angered by some of these results)... I say take an autosomal DNA test... along with a mitochondrial test if you are a woman and a Y-Chromosome test if you are a man... make it a family activity between you, your siblings and parents and then argue the whole "most of us don't have black in us"... ONLY when you've found out for sure.
No need to debate with me, or convince me of anything when the technology is out there to confirm (or disprove) whatever you were raised to believe. But there are a lot of you in denial lol. But ok... BET.

Now if you re-read my previous comment... I make the point that many Mexicans have Black in them and do not know it... I never went into "how much". You know why? I know better to assume the definitive without tangible proof. I simply stated that by observation... I can see a mixture that goes beyond European and Indigenous.
So my argument still stands ;-)

I'm black, from Portugal! Some Ppl like to call me "African Latina" but I identify myself as "African descent" European or "Afro-Portuguese. not just because I have" Caucasian blood/white ppl " in my family but because how I was raised since young age! Even though not knowing much abt Western African culture where my father is originally from, I feel I have a strong connection with my African ancestors. ❤ #proudblackwoman #loveafrica ❤♥❤♥
@Horvat Lovren Spanish and British aren't races or ethnicities. Anybody that's from any country in Europe has every right to identify with that country. Just as any Asian, Indian, or middle eastern person born and raised here is American.
@@KingLeno lol I don't understand why youre wasting your precious time correcting a racist fool?! no matter what you say he will always hate and say foolish things. You can give a person knowledge, but you can't make them think. Some ppl want to remain fools, only because the TRUTH requires change. Don't waste your time mate. Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
Why is it dumbass African Descendents go out of thier way to ignore national or tribal affiliation?
West Africa isnt a fucking NATION OR TRIBE.
So revise your comment to not be so helpful to White Supremacy.
African Nation and Tribeof said nation.
Dumb shit like that from "African Descendants" pisses me off.
Its funny you mentioned Portugal (a country) and West Africa (a region on a continent). Goes to show how much you value that "African" or "West African" culture.

Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

“Afro”?🤔
That’s a hairstyle
Even white people can grow Afros
@@og-greenmachine8623 it is because in Brazil we call black people "afro-descendente", their ancestors are black from Africa, most of us are mixed so a lot of dark skin and light skin is "afro-descendente", but a lot is not even called black, we called "pardo" which means that the person is not white and black neither.
@@hayslanesouza9421
Prove that you’re the white man who named it
now shut the fuck up troll
*meets new Dominican friend
*looks at picture he posted of himself
me: oh I see you’re black
him: im not black
me: ok... my bad I meant African
him: I’m not african either
me: ...
guess the rest of the story
The generalizations of dominicans in the comments is annoying like if there are only black people in dominican republic ie spanish expats, chinese expats, arab expats, jewish expats etc
Bobby Hill
Well, in my case, I only assumed he was black *after* seeing his face. But I’d sort of agree with you I guess, because I’ve begun to think of the RD in a more generalized way (blacks / mixed people) than before I knew anything of it..
Still, I’m just saying that I met a Dominican guy who had a majority of “black” or African in him (like facial features) apart from his skin *tone* , which is pretty fair. My viewpoint, like others, see that the background with features a person exhibits the strongest dominate over other ones they possess, and from them is what they would belong to and look like. So because of this, I was sort of confused as to why he kept denying _at least half_ of what he is. But he just kept appealing to his culture/nationality rather than.. well...race I guess.
I’m not sure how I should feel about it though.
elbasu libra well no, I agree with you on that part Dominicans who don’t see their blackness, me being American whose mom is a spanish dominican and dad is Peruvian, when I went to the Dominican Republic a family friend who was light skinned but obvious black facial feature they would call him blanco and I told my cousin he’s not white don’t you see his face, you see my point, it’s their culture, but when you have African Americans generalizing like that I feel less Dominican, because I’m not black, my mothers parents are spanish expats from
Catalunya, it’s like mixed African Americans who feel less black when ridiculed by full black kids, I’ve seen it
elbasu libra I honestly do believe this is an American issue as race was the divider in America, and the term race was heavily used as propaganda for white Americans
Bobby Hill
Yea there’s definitely a stigma here where any and sometimes some black in you makes you basically all black and no real consideration of other stuff you have within you.(a debate with the guy I mentioned helped me realize this.)Also, My uncle mentioned how if a black person and a white person have a baby then the baby is *black* (irregardless of their features or skin tone) which I find quite ridiculous but eh. Apart from this I find it hard to view other people in terms of their races/ethnicities, because at times people can be “black” yet full of other stuff. It’s more or so the things harder to put a finger on. But I think culture has to do with it as well, as most “light skins”are also are part of things black, raised similarly, live around/ the same environments, etc. so it’s easier to consider them as such..
I wonder, if a baby born from a white mom and a black dad came out with physical features majority from mom-like skin tone yet some from her dad-like her nose-would she be considered white?
🇭🇹it’s time someone finally says it 💯
so does that mean i’m afro-latino? cause i’m black and haitian
hiya sisters yes you are the Haitians were the first county to gain independence. Brazilians are considered Latino and don’t even speak Spanish, why aren’t you? You’re just as Latino, you’re from Latin America and your diaspora of the Dominicans
hiya sisters Haitians, you ARE AFRO LATINO! You were the first Latin American country to gain independence. Brazilians are considered Latino and don’t even speak Spanish, why aren’t you? You’re just as Latino, you’re from Latin America and your diaspora of the Dominicans
Juliana McFarlane thanks for explaining it to me :)
@@mysyicbarbie I always say geographically I am Latin American as a Haitian American but I don't claim to be Latina nor do I claim latinidad unless on documents. One can have Black pride and Latinx pride at the same time but it's hard for me to rep a community that doesn't even see me as valid half of the time. I also don't want to be associated with a community that unlike us Haitians we reject our slaveowners and colonizers, much of the Latinx community wants so badly to claim ties to spain and europeaness.
I'm a black Venezuelan (Will Smith's tone) and some people from the States or Spain gets surprised as they don't know there are black people in Venezuela because on the media (news, tv shows, movies) everybody is white and black characters are always slaves or thugs, and if there are black people being interviewed on the tv they are athletes or singers. We black people were brought to the Americas and we got split onto many different nations with different 'massa' we need to come all together as one, share our knowledge and wisdom and built up a black nation worldwide.
In Europe we know you are a messed up bunch in the Americas. You do know most of the best South American football players are in Europe? And that Western Europe is currently the migration hotspot for the last 4 decades?
Not everybody is white on the media from Venezuela..there's a lot of dark people.😂
I’m Puerto Rican born in Williamsburg Brooklyn and proud of my African roots.
Rodolfo Ayala tú tienes instagram papá?

@@SieraTheChosenOne u are right it just too much but I guess they just wanna conversate
How can you be puerto rican if you were born in USA?
My father is from Puerto Rico. My grandfather is definitely non black but my grandmother's father is afro Latino and my great grandmother is black mixed race Puerto Rican. My family has always told me we are mixed and we celebrate all parts of us.
Great video as usual my friend. Just a small note because you mentioned it. Dougla is not so much a Latino term as it is an Anglo-Caribbean term, more specifically a Trinidadian and Guyanese term for someone of West African and East Indian background.
I LOVE THIS ... We need to except this and have more respect for each other because we are ONE1.

I'm Argentinian, and i didn't know many of the facts presented here, Good Video.
Take it from a black American that visits the Dominican Republic frequently. I both Love and hate their interpretation of their ethnicity. I love it because it shows how much they value the unity that just describing yourself as one race(mostly Latino) but I hate it because of the society it bred where those that are lighter are valued a lot more than dark skinned Dominicans 😞
Hudrey Aepburn Latino is not a race....most folks in the DR are clearly people of African descent but they believe they are Spanish...
@@donaldlyons180 Yes, most dominicans are of african descent, but what americans don't understand is that in DR (and a lot of other countries for whats it's worth) we don't apply the absurd one drop rule. For us black is just a skin color, not a race. When a dominican guy that looks like Colin Kaepernick or Drake tells you he is not black, he is not denying his african ancestry, he's just stating that his skin is not dark, that's it. To recognize our african ancestry we don't have to deny our spanish one, those thing are not mutually exclusive. And nobody in DR believes they are spanish, that is BS, we are just dominicans.
@@alexistaverasparra3842 but they are ALWAYS SO PROUD of their TAINO heritage! They go on and on about the TAINO contributions to their phenotype and their culture but HARDLY ever talk about the African part.
It is global, if you are light skinned in most of the world you will be valued, I was in Africa in the late 90s people saw white as god like this is like 20 years ago people thought this. It was worse 50 years ago, people thought whites were gods, were anyone who is white would be trusted unconditionally. some places are more open about it than others, white is seen as godlike and black is seen and sub par, below average, it is used in the language.
Alexis Taveras if Dominicans didn’t deny thier African heritage than they wouldn’t treat hatians with discontent.... When you have a chance watch “blacks in Latin America” by Skip Gates and you will see how brain washed they are
Very interesting video. Personally, I can confirm that part where you say "white" Latinos have at least 10% black on their ancestry DNA. I recently had a DNA test and found out that I have bits of different part of Africa (Benin, Togo, Ghana, etc.) and those conform that 10%, which I always suspect I had but in our family ancestry records and memories weren't clear. I also discover my European background is also more complex that only Spanish, also Italian, Portuguese, French, Celtic, Greek, Turkish, and furthermore Arabic and even Persian..., and the North and South Native American percentage (about 25%). So yes, basically I'm a DNA salad as I presume lots of latinamericans are.
You truly are a mixed raced man in every sense then.
I'm about 7% African according to my DNA tests from Ancestry and 23andMe. I'm of Salvadoran descent btw.
Ancestry is 100% bull crap
So 93% is NON-African so I wouldn't start packing to move to Wakanda anytime soon.

Religions such as Voodoo (Vudon), and Santería have NOT died out in the US but has more or less has gone underground. No one knows the exact numbers but it has been said that there are around 250,000 practitioners of Santería in New York City alone. It is practiced not only Latinos but, Black and White Americans as well.
New York City is not representative of America. It has a heavily immigrant population, especially from all over the Caribbean.
