My dad who was black dark skin would send me and my sister because we are mixed to look for apartments to rent because he wouldn’t be considered as a tenant due to his skin color . No joke . Very painful experience
Ok, I'll bite and engage with this video when I shouldn't. I'm an argentine, born and raised, brown skin. My mother is black, been living here since her 20s. There is racism in Argentina like in any other country in the world. Now, it's INCOMPARABLE to what happens in race obsessed USA. My friends, girlfriends and their families have treated me and my mother no different from "white" people. My employers too. It just not something people care that much about. They'll sooner treat you differently for being a foreigner (you would be treated like a gringo by the way you speak and act) than for the color of your skin. If you speak and act like them, you are a "porteño" like me, or a "cordobés" or wherever you're from. Keep race obssesion in your declining country, please. ❤ PS: The dude talking about a "reparación histórica" clearly wants 💸💸💸
I was born in Honduras, my father was Maya native of yucatan Mex. My mother was a native mix with misquito/African. I grew up in an afrocaribbean neighborhood, we spoke English as our first language, and our schools were English until the government closed the schools and went to Spanish, but later my mother sent us to a private bilingual schools. We had racism in my case both ways, we hid the fact of our Mayan and African heritage to avoid racism. Now is a lot better, the country tries to celebrate and be proud of the different ethnic groups. I married a Chinese second generation Canadian, my younger daughter had a DNA test done and came out with 22% African, go figure! I was taught to be proud of my heritage and instilled it in my daughters! Thanks for your videos, they will open many eyes everywhere and hopefully mitigate the racist phobia of many
People have been hiding their backgrounds since the beginning of time but when does it end? When those brave souls love and accept themselves and stand up in the face of racism. We shouldn’t allow people to shame us for ancestry.
My friend you are not African mixed, if anything your mixed between assimilated indian tribes and possibly the moors from Spain or Portugal and england who where exiled the same year of the conquest... Look it up. DNA test can not tell you a nationality
DNA test can not trace ancestry. Why?? Because these nationalities only existed the past 700 years or so. Secondly you can not trace ancestry without the DNA of your dead ancestors. What they doing is matching your DNA with living ancestors and that's just saying the % of people in that particular location who has genobes like you. That only means that somebody at some point in time possibly migrated through there that doesn't mean let you have DNA from someone who was actually there in your paternal or maternal lineage. It's 0.0002% accurate
What a wise 78 year old man. His daughter was so beautiful, feminine. and intelligent. I would love to visit Argentina and meet people like them. This video was the ish.
@@FC65188 Argentina is a racist country towards blacks, there is absolutely no disputing that. Only the ignorant would think otherwise. There are very few blacks in Argentina, and there is a very apparent reason for that.
@@FC65188 you probably should research the genocide of Black in Argentina carried out by the government. This is probably the worse genocide in human history.
That the man had to spend almost 4 minutes to explain he is not attacking a country, all because he wants to bring history to light is truly said, but you keep doing your thing bro, let the haters hate and lovers love.
So-called Europeans have taken their lack of humanity literally everywhere on this planet. A thorough cleansing is so deeply needed and the Earth is is current moving into that cleansing. It is time and then some!
I believe that the r4cist here is you, you should check yourself before going around spreading hatred towards Latin America. If you knew that of all the countries in Latin America, Argentina was the only country that was never clear, not even in its origins you can call Argentina racist so you better go wash your mouth, you gringos and we Latin Americans do not have the same culture racial.
The Sad part is that, people with a Grade school level of understanding of History, won't know how to Take The Truth., In 1492, in the Iberian Peninsula, you had Moros, Judios y Cristianos., The People in Latin America, who Consider Themselves Latino., In 15th- 16th Century IBERIA. , Would be MOROS, MORENOS, MORISCOS, CRISTIANOS O SEFARDIES!
It is not like thay are black. Some may have some black dna. I'd say more than hald have native dna even if it is not visible... I am from Argentina. I have a black great grand father and no native blood. The rest of my family tree is spanish italian and basque 👋
She’s more beautiful, intelligent and interesting than most of the white Argentinians girls I’ve met. That being said a lot of the white Argentinians that travel around Latin America or abroad, and are young/educated etc, tend to understand the racism of their country’s past. Similar to young people and progressives in the US vs older generations who are either willingly racist or don’t recognize or acknowledge the systematic racism in our nations.
Estimado ACE, un simple ejemplo de como impacta este tipo de videos. Hace 1 semana estaba en la cola de una tienda de ropa en Miami con mi mujer, y la persona que estaba atras nuestro (era negro) nos pregunta "what lenguage do you speak" le decimos español, a continuacion de donde eramos?, "from Argentina", 3era interaccion..."porque hay racismo en Argentina contra los negros" y me empieza a mostrar este video en su celular.....Resumiendo, de la nada, estuve media hora explicandole que mi pais no era particularmente racista, que teniamos inmigrantes de todo tipo, tamaño y color, que algunos naturalmente pueden sentir curiosidad ante un negro caminando por las calles de Buenos Aires, asi como la tendrian los lugareños si yo fuese caminando por una calle de Mozambique....creo que al menos le genere alguna duda, pero estaba bastante convencido de que los argentinos odiamos a los negros (un boludez total). Ahora, si yo me acercara a vos en el supermercado, y te dijera porque odias a los blancos, cual seria tu reaccion??.....Este tipo de videos solo van a causar el efecto contrario que supuestamente persiguen. Saludos
Tambien incentiva la xenofobia que pueda existir en argentina. Porque si los negros extranjeros vienen a Argentina sea a visitar o a vivir con un pensamiento tan racista inculcado por sus naciones hace sospechar que vienen aca a generar odio racial.
@@GuilleArgies Los globalista a buscan generar un impacto para generar políticas de discriminación positiva o sea, racismo en contra de los blancos minimamente y beneficios raciales a negros.
@@celularfortuna Calculo que si, solo quise darle el beneficio de la duda, y darle una oportunidad para cambiar de bando (al bueno), despues de todo nuestros hijos van a tener que convivir con todas estas politicas nefastas...
not shocked by what this man said their is a lot of anti-Blackness throughout Latin America.which is so sad because a lot of the countries had help from African slaves to gain independence from Spain and Portugal and their influence on Latin culture remains till this day, but Latin peoples of African origins will never be given the proper acknowledgement or respect for what they have done or contributed to Latin culture.
Y los pueblos originario amigo? Que integraron en su mayoría los ejércitos patrios (las montoneras de Güemes, por ejemplo) por propia voluntad. Los indios que siguieron a Artigas... No merecen reconocimiento también?
THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Well done, Ace! Thank you for shining the light on our Afro Argentinian brothers and sisters. Wherever we African diasporans have been transported forcefully, they tried to crush our souls for centuries, but still like Air, we rise!!! We are powerful in our resilience…how much more so when we unite (the greatest fear of the oppressor no matter in which country the boats landed! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
I love this video, Ace! Hugo and his daughter had so much information. I enjoy ALL of your videos, but I especially love the ones where I learn about the people; some of my favorites are the videos in the Brazilian favelas, your friends traveling through the Colombian border to Venezuela, Blacks in Venezuela, Blacks in Mexico, Palenque, Recoleta Cemetery, The Citadel in Haiti, etc... Thanks for all of your hard work!
I think the problem with us, argentinians, is that since we don't have many black people around and since we do not separete people in races we sometimes think ''we can't be racist'' but we do act racist without even knowing it, so it is really important to show these experiences from the people who lives them. First step is to accept our issues, so we can have a better society in the future.
I knew that something fishy went down in Argentina history because we do not see black people represented on the media, but I didn't expect it to this bad.
I am from Argentina and i also think something fishy happend because my "sibblings", countries next door, have more african descendents than we have. I belive they were probably killed along natives 'cause they used them as "shields" in different wars (against natives and against Spain). But nonethe less they're still here and part of our society since the begining. Now we have the privilege of having more black pepole coming from Africa as well other latinamerican countries. I REALLY HOPE WE.TREAT THEM BETTER THIS TIME.
And i think and hope this time... Well.. we have 200 years of history that tought us to be better humans. As for myself im in love with meeting different people and since i cant afford to travel across the world i feel very thankful to have different ethnicities everyday everywhere, just right next door.
@@gabydq Years ago my late dad said a black Cuban reported that Fidel Castro made his countrymen participate in wars fighting on the side of Africans. Deliberately put Afro Cubans on the front lines.
There are almost no black people in Argentina, they assimilated, mixed, all ethnic groups, Italians, Spanish, French, everyone. There was no segregation.
I like most people had no issue with anyone no matter their colour but when a group starts identifying as 'black' and different and that you are not black and therefore racist, this gets people's backs up. We're not responsible fo4 slavery 300 years ago or what happens in the US. The world has 6 billion people, the US is a small part. Don't push your problems and close mindedness based around skin colour to the rest of the world. The true racists are those who bang on about people's colour.
She is so right about the derogatory cat-calling . I'm Jamaican born and have traveled all over, 52 countries currently. I visited Buenos Aires in 2016 and I had that same experience of being treated as a sex worker. At first I couldn't figure out why random men were making kissy faces and yelling "mami,mami" at me, it wasn't the usual flirtatious appreciation of a woman's beauty. By the third day there I was over it, I took the double decker city tour bus and sat on the top deck, I was so embarrassed and annoyed when the bus pulled up to an area with some construction guys on a roof, they were heckling at me saying things like "mami Brazil?", laughing and carrying on like school boys. Most women in official places were rude to me for no apparent reason as well. The entire trip wasn't bad, ate lots of good food, brought home good wine and learned some history. But much like Slovakia or Hungary (went to a bath house and as soon as I got in the water all 8 or 9 people there immediately got out, they looked at me like I was mad or I pissed nuclear waste in the water 😆) I'm not in a rush to return. I went to Chile for a few days after Argentina on that same trip and it was night and day, people were much more polite and friendly.
Sabias amiga que en Buenos Aires la mayor cantidad de obreros de la construcción son paraguayos y bolivianos, por esa época era común la sexualización de la mujer, le gritaban a cualquiera cosas, luego hubo varias denuncias y en las obras de construcción dejaron de hacerlo.
If you want to know if racism exists in argentina go ask african black people vendors in the street of constitucion and you will know the truth, cheers
Thank you very much for this video. To expose people’s realities is the first step to bring light to a problem and find its solution. Thanks again to you and to these beautiful people you had the chance to interview.
Am not afraid of saying this, BLACK PEOPLE is in every Island and country in this world, remember Black's were once king's and Queens of this world. The first will be the last, and the last will be the first - again (forevermore)............
@@YoureRightIThink your point is taken, but we are talking about BLACK people, NO other race, the bible only mentioned Israel, the blessing was only given to one (1) kind of people, Yahshua only given the law, commandments and promise to Israel (Israelites) no other nations...... Shabbat Shalom.
Because they are very few (today like 1% of the population) and most of them are very admixtured, therefore locally they are not considered black (not even by themselves usually, also because there is not much knowledge about their ancestry), and foreigners maybe will see them just like average "brown" Latin Americans or mixed people. In this video they are saying bigger numbers (in percentage) because they are counting people that have some significant level of black ancestry but it's predominantly white or amerindian, and even in that case I think that they are exaggerating saying 5%. I don't know to what places you come here, but probably you noticed that there is a very important minority of "brown" people, and if you pay more attention on them, you will see that only a few look black at some point (the rest are admixtured whites, naturally tanned whites - like people of Middle Eastern descent - and amerindians with or without admixture...). So, obviously is not true that they are like 5% of the population, in that case they would be much more visible. Dark or phenotypically more regular blacks are a minority into the 1% that I mentioned (although due to recent immigration are much more visible today than some decades ago - especially in important urban agglomerations - and probably in most cases are foreigners).
Kwan King- Why do you travel so much to Argentina? It for work, business and/or pleasure? How do they treat you? Obviously well, otherwise you do go to any place where you don't feel welcome.
Nobody's trying to count immigrants as part of the senses. this family I interview ancestors have been here since slavery time. This is why I keep the emphasis on generations He was born in 1944 His 6 generation his family has been there since 1764 Before Argentina had their 1st president. you have to be careful when you use the word native because no one's native to Argentina but the indigenous.
@@ACEDTVL -I don't recall reading anything of significant historical importance about black slavery in Argentina. I believe Uruguay does have more history, but Argentina has very little if any history. It was only used as a stopping point for transshipment and redistribution of slaves to other parts of Latin America. Unlike other areas of the new world like nearby Brazil, there was no solid slave economy in Argentina.
they are very few but exist. I would say asian argentines are more common than blacks but one of my friends from my friend group is black( mixed) and he is 100% argentine.
I am a Argentine - African American born & raised in Houston Texas. My mom is Argentine and my father is black. Glad to learn about this. I hope the day will come when I visit my cousins in Argentina.
Your mother is Argentinian, and your dad black???? Huh, so your dad Is just black but your mother comes from somewhere. I get it you don’t like to say you are from African decent.
As an African, Argentina is one of the countries that I will never visit, there history of racism is appalling, unlike this host, I do not tolerate racist as a South African
Is all spreading hate - Argentina like any other country have good and bad - but you can’t call everyone racist - same applies for any other country - everyone is welcome in our country! All the best!
Ace, This is very necessary information for all of us to be aware of.. Traveling is fantastic.. However you are covering an issue that all walks of life, need to eliminate.. All societies should evolve beyond ignorance and hatred that of racism brother.. Thank you very much for this particular content sir
In my 17 years living in Buenos Aires I've witnessed less racism than I did in 1 year in Los Angeles, CA (my home city), the supposed progressive heaven.
Argentina has much less of a racism problem (specially against african descendants) than the United states due to the segregationist laws the US had until the 60s. With that Said i think in this case (racism against african descendants) personal experiences would be better given by someone black. its not like in argentina racism towards blacks doesn't exist, but argentina being an specially racist country i do think Is mostly a myth, specially when the United states is one of the most racist countries in the world along with southafrica and Israel.
@@ahmedalzubairi3218 How so? Did you visit Argentina and suffer prejudice from argentines? They use the term “negro” (black) to refer to someone very casually, but they intend it as a synonym to “buddy”.
Hoy en dia todo el mundo necesita ofenderse de algo, victimizarse, haganlo pero en sus paises en todo caso, decir que en Argentina existe el racismo es una locura.. cuando en eeuu y europa es terrible comparado con nuestro pais.. no hay hay nativos negros porque Argentina nunca fue un pais colonizador, punto. No rompan mas los huevos ❤
Actually many European from Spain and Portugal invaded the land in America and brought their racist idealogy to the Africoid and Siberian Asian Natives their racist cast system.
At least 60% of the population in Argentina have native ancestry but still there is discrimination against native people. However our best president, Juan Peron has native origins and he new a native language.
It’s crazy how genuine and caring and respectful Ace is reporting his trip. But they are getting angry at him for telling the truth and experiences. That’s really sad
THEIR ARE DELLUTIONAL AND MAKING UP STUFF. BERNARDINO RIVADAVIA WASN´T BLACK. THERE´S PORTRAITS OF HIM AND NOWHERE IN HISTORY SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT HIM AS A BLACK MAN
Ace, thank you so much for making this video! I`ve been always interested in afro-descendat history and culture. And I am an afrodescendent aswell. My mother was born in Estanislao del Campo, wich is in the province of Formosa, in the north of Argentina. She used to tell me about her great-grandmother, Asucena, who was black and had long white hair she used to brush. Asucena was afrodescendat, his parents arrived to this area escaping from slavery in Brazil.
Los nativos son los pueblos originarios no los negros, hay una gran diferencia entre indígena y negro, dejen de invisibilizar los pueblos originarios del continente y creo que todo es solo blanco o negro
Wow 78 still got it! He can dance! He's daughter is very pretty God bless her parents. I love their Afro style of dance, it's very unique!! It makes me feel good to see father and daughter representing their heritage. Thanks ACE forevermore.
As an argentinian this is so interesting to learn, hope this community have the recognition it deserves in a near future, we love all people here and wish them the best!
Great, I agree. Now push to get that constitution changed to recognize the Black people living there. And compensate them for the slavery and discrimination. It is not forgotten that Blacks were placed on the front lines to be sacrificed during your wars.
My 5 grandfather came from Argentina by way of Italy. The Spanish brought Italian slaves with them to Argentina. He was brought to America in the early 1700’s and married my grandmother (5) who was an indigenous person and they had five children. I saw a sales slip selling them to a plantation in the Mississippi delta, which is where I was born. I can pass for white, but I don’t. My family were black activists and we were proud people.
I lived in Argentina for two years. I never had any racist encounters and I didn’t live in the capital where all the TH-camrs go. I lived in Pablo Podesta near the cemetery with the regular people. I walked everywhere I rode the bus never had any problems based off of race. I drink mate with my neighbors I got invited to Asados. The only thing is no one learned my name. I was only known as Chino but that’s fine everyone has a nickname over there.
A teacher once told me you’ll know a country is racist if you don’t see diversity in their national team. I’m a big fan of soccer I never really see a black player in Argentina national team except for Juan Sebastián Verón
Maybe you didn't see black, but brown people,mixed. Pay attention to Di Maria, Tevez, Riquelme, Romero, Agüero (idk just the first names that came to my mind) Here it is common to deny even our indigenous ancestry.😒
Love the Intro Homie!!! Keep doing your thing.. crazy how life works my actual interest led me back to someone I knew from my past sometimes you never know how much you really have in common with people because we never talk about things sometimes that are not the popular opinion.. extremely proud of you extremely motivated by you always now that I've discovered you I will continue to support. stay driven, continue to inspire. I appreciate you
so, unfortunately, these Americans come to Argentina and expect their own beliefs are streamlined as theirs. The culture is totally different than the America. It is built on racism and developed based through those lines. I am not saying racism does not exist but it is another culture and should be looked in those terms.
Great content. Thanks for posting. Good to see people quietly getting on with their lives. I was born in the UK to Jamaican parents. I am now a senior doctor ( for more years than I want to say😊). My experience growing up in UK in the 80s was tough, probably like many African diaspora in The West. All we can do is make the world around us a better place, despite the obstacles we face. I really admire the young lady for working to improve the lives of others 👍🏾👏🏾
The new generation has a new theory. Vote w/your money and your feet. When all blacks from all over the globe start generating the money in black communities only and educate the kids themselves to stop the brainwashing is when all of it stops. It's just like Democrats being disgusted by the Republican Party and not knowing that they're buying Republican goods w/their Democratic $.
Vote w/your feet meaning leave the city/state/country if they don't appreciate you. Vote w/your money meaning only spend your money where it's appreciated and mainly in black owned businesses. Just to clarify ✌
Yh but you don't like black people not only black as long they not white you all win cupa America and sing a song about mbappe abut his father's black and about the French side when they were born in France so they not african the reason you sing was because they black basically say F him go play for africa i listen to the song it not good at all
Ace, yet another informative professionally done video interview. Well done. The content was provocatively disturbing at times, but reality is like that. Argentina insists on a culture of racist marginalization still needing oppressive validation of their existence. How sad that enlightenment eludes them. However, I’m confident despite generational indoctrination, common sense will ultimately prevail. For a country to have reduced an indigenous population by over 80% is beyond barbaric. It’s well worth the time to appeal on an international scale the crimes against humanity in Argentina. The lack of empathy emanating from many of the responses only strengthens the argument of oppression in that country and begs further investigation. Governments must be held accountable for their intolerance to marginalized citizens.
Also, when you're a native indian Hispanic like full blooded you're totally discriminated against like a black person .....no difference and that's very common in all Latin America. And the social lives divide people from poor to rich and there's no middle class in Latin America
I don't blame the people who are afraid to be labeled black. You've seen so much you don't wanna go through the same treatment . AND YES THEY ARE RIGHT CAUSE WE ARE NOT BLACK!!! Why accepting a status that's not you own...
This gentleman and his daughter was just a joy to watch and listen to! Her father raised her well! He is a beautiful BLACK man and has kept himself up in the myst of that mess created by WS! I am happy to hear that she is there fighting for the African rights in Argentina.
the people of African diaspora have largely influenced the cultures of Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil in particular yet are afforded so little in terms of political representation, let alone social or economic.
It is curious the fact that the first "black" person who appears in this video of Argentina is not technically a "completely" black person... and yes! any person can attend university in Argentina and get a degree.
It's not Afro-Argentinian it's African-Argentinian. It's amazing, I can't believe what she is saying. There should be an international organization to link Black people of the diaspora. We all could support each other in one way or the other. I am a Black professional that would offer my service.
@@mercandog507 why you'll going to open the doors for 3rd world countries? Black or not. Tourism is Business and it's logical to free Visa on Europe/N-America/Asia.
First.... Argentinian Obama is KILLIN IT at 78! President Obama should link up with him for sure! Second, I applaud you for keeping your composure around the lawyer, because.... WOW! Lastly, I'm living vicariously through you. In the Navy, I traveled throughout Central and South America and looked for Afro- descendants as well. Being fluent in Spanish was a blessing and a curse....because I got to hear/experience what they truly thought about black people. Again, there were more good interactions than bad, thankfully...but it truly let me know what the Afro-descendants had to put up with in those countries. Looking forward to more videos. Animo✊🏾
many comments from white argentinians saying that you are wrong and even insulting you, say a lot, truth really hurts, it means you are doing a really good job.That's the purpose, making more awereness about racism or any other social issue, that part of the society and goverments want to hide, avoid or don't want to see. BRAVO.
Of course they will say he is wrong truth really hurts. Why would so many people go through so much trouble to hate harm hurt and steal a race of people and their castles and true identity 🤔 Looks like the Bible already told this story and will not end well for the thieves or their descendants
No entiendo el problema de que en mi pais no halla gente africana en abundancia caminando por las calles como lo quieren los progresistas afroamericanos... es la solucion a nuestros males? te mejora la economia?.. baja la inseguridad?.. mejora la educacion?..
Argentina has a very poor history with Black Argentinans. During their wars with Paraguay and Uruguay they sent Blacks to the front at extremely disproportionate numbers on purpose.
@@juandomingo8271 busca Juan Domingo, hay datos por muchos lados. La gran mayoría de la población afro del país se fue a luchar todas las guerras que hubo en esa época, el Ejército de los Andes estaba compuesto casi en un tercio por negros. Lo tenes a Cabral de ejemplo! Como dato de color, para que te des una idea, al momento de la revolución de 1810, el 25% de la población de la ciudad de Bs As, eran negros. Esto en el resto del país no era tan así, por que se usaba mano de obra indígena, pero en Bs As es bastante notable la cantidad. Pero no es culpa de la gente que los mandaba a combatir que fueron borrados de la historia, la culpa la tienen Sarmiento y las lacras que le sucedieron. Ellos se encargaron de construir el relato de nuestra historia a su modo, no por nada Sarmiento hizo traer miles de maestros de USA. Pero por suerte ese relato se esta diluyendo y estamos empezando a concientizarnos sobre nuestra verdadera historia
Good video, Ace. I'm argentinian and I don´t agree with the things that she says. But it's all right, you are showing the various aspects of the black people in Argentina. If you want to talk someday about how argentinian people see this theme, please feel free to contact me. Cheers and good luck.
The work you do is so important! Do not let these people in the comments try and contort the history of these people, denial is often Racism's first line of defense!
What a phenomenal in-depth discourse with Mr. Hugo who resembles Barack Obama and Ms. Milien, his splendid daughter, about racism and the eradication of Afro- Argentina his/herstory. I was astonished how Milien was picked on due to her race. Racism is a global phenomenon. Ace- I immensely enjoyed this documentary and interviews.
In the schools they represent what was a reality in colonial Argentina, there were slaves and they were generally street vendors, they are acts with total respect, in no way is it about offending but rather portraying the reality of the time, and I never saw that portray them in a mocking tone. As for racism, there is no doubt that there was and is, but it is not exclusively against an ethnic group, but rather with social strata, and based on statistics, we are one of the least racist countries in the world. Another clarification with what the lawyer says, here in Argentina saying black is not only negative, most of the time it is affectionate and is used with close people. He also lies and exaggerates that housewives are black, education from kindergarten to university is free and whether from any social class they have the opportunity to graduate from a university career, he also lies that people of color have salaries minors only because of their skin color, totally false, it is not true that they are fired because of their skin color, otherwise they would not be hired in the first place, the rights are equal for everyone, no one fires without having any consequence, there are laws that protect to EVERYONE, regardless of ethnicity. Being a lawyer, she does not know what the constitution says, "Foreigners enjoy all the civil rights of citizens in the territory of the Nation; they can exercise their industry, commerce and profession, they are not obliged to admit citizenship, nor to pay extraordinary forced contributions "Tell me where it says Europe...? She is middle class, she is a professional and says that she has fewer rights, fewer opportunities because of her skin color? It can be seen at the end, when he says that Alberto Fernandez is a good president and that they have more rights... Just by remembering what he said in a conference “The Mexicans came from the Indians, the Brazilians from the jungle, but the Argentines from the boats”, it is very obvious that he has no objectivity...
@@LythoERM Also-the President's comments were racist and xenophobic. " Brazilians emerged from the jungle." He was trying to fraternizewith the Spain Prime Minister and made a vast blunder.
This video was incredible. I read about the history of Afro-Argentinians back in college. I'm glad Hugo and his daughter(😍) cleared up the history. Also, Ace it's "colorism" not classism when people of darker skin are discriminated against for the complexion.
Exactly, and they discriminate against African hair texture as well . When you come with dark skin or light skin and your hair texture is kinky you are treated differently. If you are brown skin with straight hair you are still treated better than light skin with kinky hair. Rise up people of African and African descent . Wear you hair and be proud. Ase'o
I'm Argentinean. Son of Italians and Spanish. I have never seen a story as well told as this one about the Afro descendants of my country. Thank you!!!!
Lee Aaliyah, a black born to a Ghanaian father & an Argentinian mother plays for Argentina's youth basketball team & is one of the most acclaimed & valuable players.
Exactamente, lo que cuentan esas personas que aparecen en el video no representa en absoluto lo que es Argentina. La primer persona que aparece en el video la única experiencia que cuenta sobre racismo en el país fue hace 40 años, ya eso lo dice todo...
Ace, if there's someone worthy of touching on this subject, that is you. If ANYONE dares to criticize you for talking about this, well... They're probably the kind of people we need to educate. EDIT: Great video. I'd like to add that the younger generations have a loooooooot less prejudice in almost every aspect. It's probably something more prevalent in older people, and (and I just realized of this after listening to the girl's point of view) there are many racist undertones in some things we do or say everyday and we don't even notice. I hate when people say 'n*gro de mierd@' (sh!tty n!gger) as an insult. It's terribly common, but it's so engrained in our slang that many pepole don't see an issue when they say it.
Negro itself doesn't mean n*****r , as a matter of fact I had an uncle that we called " Tio negro" that was his nickname and was ment as a term of endearment.
Lo sapevi che ci sono dei neri razzisti, me l'ho ha detto un mio amico Nigeriano, in Italia tanti non vogliono proprio integrarsi e non vogliono approfondire l'amicizia con gli italiani, ci rimango male per questo, tu vieni a casa mia , io cerco di diventare tuo amico e tu mi giri le spalle, perchè sono bianco? Perché non sono un tuo bro? Quando ero in Olanda mi trattavano non bene molti olandesi e sarei stato contento se qualcuno avesse voluto essere mio amico, è uno sbaglio enorme stare sempre e solo con la propria etnia, si forma un divario e non si comunica, non c'è empatia. Mi dispiace.
Ace I must congratulate you and thank you for bringing these series of videos to the world. I hope everyone wil nowl take notice and begin to help improve the plight of the Black population in Argentina. Blessings my brother.
I am from Brazil and every time the Brazilian soccer team plays with the Argentinian one, the players keep calling the Brazilian black ones "monkeys" and all kinds of pejorative names... it's rough and tough.
The Italian majority ethnicity in Argentina 🇦🇷 can be blatantly racist and insensitive towards blacks. My black Cuban🇨🇺 grandfather, used to describe living in Argentina was the worst and that many of it blacks flee to other Latin countries for safety, primarily Brazil, Colombia and Panama. So it's not shocking hearing her struggles whatsoever...🤔
Now Is not that way. But you compared Brasil with a high black population against arg with very few. Just to be inmigrant Is harder un any other country than arg
Regrettably, Argentina, like the majority of the countries of America, has received immigration from the lower classes of Europe before and after the First World War. Mainly from nationalist peoples such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Jewish people, Ireland, states that later formed the German empire, etc. Each people that arrived in Argentina brought with them a lot of racist ideologies corresponding to the spread of nationalism throughout Europe at that time. Obviously the predominant people are Spanish, due to the conquest and colonization of the Rio de la Plata started in 1516 under the authorization of King Carlos I of Spain. After the colonization, around 1580, the migration of African slaves took place and continued until the 1810s. These waves of immigration due to European wars and slave trade ended up forming an Argentine people full of divisions, where racism continues to this day towards a lot of minorities. Also existing racism among the minorities themselves "inherited" from their European ancestors and their conflicts of yesteryear. In this mix of races, I think, the African people was the most damaged. The indoctrination was total and they lose all kind of knowledge about their origins and traditions.
They want to destroy any country in which immigrants all get along. They want to make sure they can still divide us playing on race. The African Americans have been lured into victimhood by those who wish to control them. And because it is easier to make others responsible, instead of standing in their greatness, most of them revel in the role. Argentina is the most accepting country to immigrants in history. Argentines are ALL mixed race by now, racism as a concept is ridiculous and 99% of Argentines would agree with this statement unless they are absolute hypocrites. When they deride what they call “cabezas” they do not refer by this to any color of skin in particular but to ANY person who acts in an uncivilized,disrespectful and selfish manner. The woke nonsense won’t go far in Argentina. Stop trying to introduce it.
As a Black man from the USA who has travelled extensively throughout South America...what struck me most about racism as experienced in South America was the power vacuum. The social racism actually felt a bit more relaxed to me as there's more of an open shared denial of the issue. However, there's no denial of the power vacuum. Black people are limited to lower level jobs. Every once in a great while, you might find a Black in middle management, but you'll never see one above that. That's the reality of South American racism. Anybody can sleep with anyone...but putting a Black in a position of real authority is the no.
I might sound racist by what I say, but in Argentina black people usually come from poor families by themselves, so it's not so normal to see poor people in good jobs.
Remember that your country has a big population of black people, In my life I've met like 10, maybe, and I'm 33... I don't know what they mean exactly by "black" people, if they have to be from Africa, not a lot...majority are mestizo like me or white..
Thanks for the insight. You can tell the colonization of South America was successful. The life of a black man is worthless in most of those countries....Still very beautiful places.

it would only be hypocritical if I act like it didn't exist in America. you jumping the gun on this one, I find it funny that people get uptight when we start talking about something that exists sometimes I wonder do they get upset because they come from a place of privilege perhaps they never experience it personally and hate when they hear people talk about it because it makes them feel uncomfortable perhaps they have some form of unintentional guilt and the only way they can cope with that is by being negative either way that's their problem imagine a subject that's not something that people can talk about.

@@ACEDTVL ok, where are those videos? USA had and have like a thousand times bigger problems about racism toward black and other races. You got a lot of material. Or your friend, sabbatical, Who was looking for nazis in Bariloche. No other country in the world took some many nazis as USA, where is his video about Operation paperclip? We never was a big slave market, so we never have a numerous black population. The vast majority of black argentinians died in wars, diseases or mixed with the millions of europeans inmigrants. Of course there was racism back then, it was fuc**ng 18 and 19 centurie, saddly, racism was common all over the globe. But we didnt receive again black slaves as other countries, thats why, for example, Brazil actually have black population. I play baseball here and have black teammates, some of them i consider my friends (most came from dominican rep and Cuba) never ever have a bad situation being with them. They are fully integrated, with normal jobs and half of them married with Argentinians womans...of course, im not with them 24x7 but ive got first hand testimonies about being black in Buenos Aires. Racism exist, wont deny, but this video (as the sabbatical with the nazis) reinforce that missconception about Argentina is racist and Nazi, when its not like that at all. I follow you and your experiences around the world but noticed a obsesión with this issues while being in Argentina...and not the same in other places that had those problems like 20 times bigger and more cruel.
if you think you telling me all these things about America is going to get me upset then you are sadly mistaken in fact it shows that you're trying to deflect from the topic that we are talking about please try to stay on topic or perhaps you're mad that I would even consider making a video about talking to citizens about their experience in their own country and if that's the case then perhaps you have some issues that you need to deal with but showcasing your anger to me is not going to fix it I'm glad you know some of your history when it comes to Argentina but you do not know the full story sadly because a lot of that stuff is not even taught in your history books in school I know this because I have taken the time to make a documented series about black people in Argentina you are actually watching the first episode I would recommend you watching all six where I interview professors and more people on their experience living in the country to be honest with you when I first came up with the idea to look for black people in Argentina I think it was going to be one video but after talking to this guy I realized that I couldn't get all the answers in one video I needed to do more studying and more research which I did you are welcome to watch this series if you don't that's also cool but I like this video because it actually helps gives people an answer and opens a debate you can be all upset that I would do this and start calling me American this that but that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about argentines not Americans in this video if you want to see me talk about Americans then all you have to do is go to my American videos peace th-cam.com/video/bZSdXhAJFQY/w-d-xo.html
@@ACEDTVLnot angry with you, just with some of the people in the comments., i see some obsession in europe and US media, with great ignorance. Some of them encourage since we won the 2022 world cup and that stupid article in Washington post about why there isnt black players in our national team. And already saw that video you linked. As i said i follow you and your videos. And some of what they said its true (have my doubts about Rivadavia, due to his parents were spaniards) What i dont understand is that afro Argentinian have always been very very strange to find, they are like a minimum percentage, like less of 1% (1,8% only in 1887 cense), but there is Tons of videos from foreigners talking about how racist Argentina is or Nazis in the patagonia. I know that it a just cause, i know they deserve to be more recognize. Which i dont understand is that current and popular media content about racism in Argentina, while i can name you at least 15 countries with more problems and were extremely more cruel than those argentinians back in the past. I see an obsession with the racism and Nazi issue whenever Argentina is mentioned. The only difference between us and other countries that have a black population is that we werent a big slave market, so the ones that remains mixed with the inmigrants. Luckly, times are changing and, step by step, black argentinian people are begginning to get some recognition, like Maria Remedios del Valle. She was a sargeant, black and woman, elevated to that degree from one of our national icons, Manuel Belgrano. And also the new currents of black african inmigrants are well received, for example i can metion an angolan comedy performer, ari balanga. Peace to you too.
@@ACEDTVL Bro I like your vids and you cool, but you're just pushing it with this "blacks in Argentina" videos, like we get it you Americans are obsessed with race and care so much to label a country of racist based on personal anecdotes or rumors, while you know you been treated fairly in Argentina.
In Argentina there was slavery just like all the countries of America, but here there was a very little population in general. The Afro population that existed, decreased significantly due to the wars of independence, also due to the yellow fever epidemic and finally due to miscegenation, because there was a huge wave of European migration from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, that quadrupled the small population that previously existed. But there is another reason that isn't frequently mentioned and it is that Argentina was one of the first countries to abolish slavery; For this reason, many slave owners sold them in neighboring countries, with the aim of not losing their economic investment. I think this fact is deliberately hidden because if they are trying to install the idea that Argentina is a racist country... How could it be possible that Argentina is one of the first countries to abolish slavery??? 
Just because Aregentina abolished slavery doesn't mean racism can't exist. Most countries eventually abolished slavery and there is tons of racism. That comment shows true ignorance. Instead of closing your eyes and pretending it doesn't exist, take time to listen to people. They are telling you of their very own experience with racism. Are they liars because you refuse to listen?
@@kpat3052 Seguramente habrá algunas personas racistas en Argentina porque el racismo existe en todos el mundo. Lo que trato de explicar es qué Argentina no es un país particularmente racista y que el racismo no es el motivo por el cual hay muy pocos negros. En Argentina nunca hubo muchos pero los que había se asimilaron y mezclaron al resto de la población y esto es muestra de integración justamente lo contrario al racismo.
Argentina was one of the first countries to start the Freedom process with the Law of wombs of 1813, the Law is from 1811. Parguayan war was in 1870, and the two black regiments did not participate because it was a triple alliance war, it was not necessary
As a black latino, I can tell you that Argentina is one of the most racist countries in South America. The word "negro" is commonly used there as an insult to people with darker skin, even if they aren't of african descent. It's a nice place to visit and the women are beautiful, but I wouldn't live there.

Yo pensaba igual, hasta que me toco vivir la xenofobia en primera persona en un pais extranjero... ahi, cuando volvi, comence a prestar atencion lo que pasaba a mi alrededor, a los demas...y ahi note, que el racismo, es sutil en Argentina... esta, pero camuflado. La mayoria de las personas que dicen que en Argentina no hay racismo, es, porque no lo viven dia a dia... un hombre de color, no puede cambiar su color de piel.. lo lleva todo el dia con El... y es El, el que va a percibir el racismo... por eso, los demas, nos cuesta notarlo.. porque no lo vivimos en carne propia. Hasta que yo no lo vivi en otro lado, no lo pude ver en mi propio pais. Si no me crees.. ve el comentario posterior al tuyo.. "para muestra.. un boton"...
No hay racismo en nuestro país, flaco? La frase "negr0 de mierd4" te suena de algún lado? Ya sé que no apunta a los afros, pero sí apunta a la gente no blanca que tiene mayoritariamente rasgos indígenas, y en menor medida mulatos. Pero ese racismo existe, dentro de la clase media/alta/sociedades descendientes de inmigrantes, y también dentro de la policía y la justicia, por lo menos.
More than 70 percent of the Argentine population is of European origin, especially from the south, such as Spain and Italy, which are among the most racist countries in Europe.

Argentina from the mid-1850s to 1970 received 14 million European immigrants, most of them Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, German, Polish, and Asian colonies. From 1600 to 1800, the Spanish and French brought Afro slaves. They did their own thing with the native Indians, almost exterminating all the tribes, that is why 85% of its inhabitants are white, 14% Amerindian or mestizo, and only 1% Afro.

I was born in Honduras, my father was Maya native of yucatan Mex. My mother was a native mix with misquito/African. I grew up in an afrocaribbean neighborhood, we spoke English as our first language, and our schools were English until the government closed the schools and went to Spanish, but later my mother sent us to a private bilingual schools.
We had racism in my case both ways, we hid the fact of our Mayan and African heritage to avoid racism. Now is a lot better, the country tries to celebrate and be proud of the different ethnic groups. I married a Chinese second generation Canadian, my younger daughter had a DNA test done and came out with 22% African, go figure! I was taught to be proud of my heritage and instilled it in my daughters!

People have been hiding their backgrounds since the beginning of time but when does it end? When those brave souls love and accept themselves and stand up in the face of racism. We shouldn’t allow people to shame us for ancestry.
My friend you are not African mixed, if anything your mixed between assimilated indian tribes and possibly the moors from Spain or Portugal and england who where exiled the same year of the conquest... Look it up. DNA test can not tell you a nationality
DNA test can not trace ancestry. Why?? Because these nationalities only existed the past 700 years or so. Secondly you can not trace ancestry without the DNA of your dead ancestors. What they doing is matching your DNA with living ancestors and that's just saying the % of people in that particular location who has genobes like you. That only means that somebody at some point in time possibly migrated through there that doesn't mean let you have DNA from someone who was actually there in your paternal or maternal lineage. It's 0.0002% accurate

I think the problem with us, argentinians, is that since we don't have many black people around and since we do not separete people in races we sometimes think ''we can't be racist'' but we do act racist without even knowing it, so it is really important to show these experiences from the people who lives them. First step is to accept our issues, so we can have a better society in the future.

I am from Argentina and i also think something fishy happend because my "sibblings", countries next door, have more african descendents than we have. I belive they were probably killed along natives 'cause they used them as "shields" in different wars (against natives and against Spain). But nonethe less they're still here and part of our society since the begining. Now we have the privilege of having more black pepole coming from Africa as well other latinamerican countries.

I visited Buenos Aires in 2016 and I had that same experience of being treated as a sex worker. At first I couldn't figure out why random men were making kissy faces and yelling "mami,mami" at me, it wasn't the usual flirtatious appreciation of a woman's beauty. By the third day there I was over it, I took the double decker city tour bus and sat on the top deck, I was so embarrassed and annoyed when the bus pulled up to an area with some construction guys on a roof, they were heckling at me saying things like "mami Brazil?", laughing and carrying on like school boys.
Most women in official places were rude to me for no apparent reason as well.
The entire trip wasn't bad, ate lots of good food, brought home good wine and learned some history. But much like Slovakia or Hungary (went to a bath house and as soon as I got in the water all 8 or 9 people there immediately got out, they looked at me like I was mad or I pissed nuclear waste in the water 😆) I'm not in a rush to return.

Im African American.I have been traveling to Argentina for 30 years.I’ve never met Black Folk from there.Thank you for the education.
Because they are very few (today like 1% of the population) and most of them are very admixtured, therefore locally they are not considered black (not even by themselves usually, also because there is not much knowledge about their ancestry), and foreigners maybe will see them just like average "brown" Latin Americans or mixed people.
In this video they are saying bigger numbers (in percentage) because they are counting people that have some significant level of black ancestry but it's predominantly white or amerindian, and even in that case I think that they are exaggerating saying 5%.
I don't know to what places you come here, but probably you noticed that there is a very important minority of "brown" people, and if you pay more attention on them, you will see that only a few look black at some point (the rest are admixtured whites, naturally tanned whites - like people of Middle Eastern descent - and amerindians with or without admixture...). So, obviously is not true that they are like 5% of the population, in that case they would be much more visible.
Dark or phenotypically more regular blacks are a minority into the 1% that I mentioned (although due to recent immigration are much more visible today than some decades ago - especially in important urban agglomerations - and probably in most cases are foreigners).
Kwan King- Why do you travel so much to Argentina? It for work, business and/or pleasure? How do they treat you?
Obviously well, otherwise you do go to any place where you don't feel welcome.
Nobody's trying to count immigrants as part of the senses. this family I interview ancestors have been here since slavery time. This is why I keep the emphasis on generations He was born in 1944 His 6 generation his family has been there since 1764 Before Argentina had their 1st president. you have to be careful when you use the word native because no one's native to Argentina but the indigenous.

Unlike other areas of the new world like nearby Brazil, there was no solid slave economy in Argentina.

Argentina has much less of a racism problem (specially against african descendants) than the United states due to the segregationist laws the US had until the 60s.
With that Said i think in this case (racism against african descendants) personal experiences would be better given by someone black.
its not like in argentina racism towards blacks doesn't exist, but argentina being an specially racist country i do think Is mostly a myth, specially when the United states is one of the most racist countries in the world along with southafrica and Israel.
It's an own decision issue in la, people take anything as racism
I respectfully disagree with you the most racists nation in Latin America is Argentina
Damn this is obvious, you are white
@@ahmedalzubairi3218 How so? Did you visit Argentina and suffer prejudice from argentines? They use the term “negro” (black) to refer to someone very casually, but they intend it as a synonym to “buddy”.
Hoy en dia todo el mundo necesita ofenderse de algo, victimizarse, haganlo pero en sus paises en todo caso, decir que en Argentina existe el racismo es una locura.. cuando en eeuu y europa es terrible comparado con nuestro pais.. no hay hay nativos negros porque Argentina nunca fue un pais colonizador, punto. No rompan mas los huevos ❤

It is not shocking at all. Wherever there are white humans and black humans of enslaved African ancestry there will be prejudice and racism.
That's an ABSOLUTE FACT!!! 🤔😁

As a white Argentinian man I ashamed for this.
At least 60% of the population in Argentina have native ancestry but still there is discrimination against native people. However our best president, Juan Peron has native origins and he new a native language.
It’s crazy how genuine and caring and respectful Ace is reporting his trip. But they are getting angry at him for telling the truth and experiences. That’s really sad
THEIR ARE DELLUTIONAL AND MAKING UP STUFF. BERNARDINO RIVADAVIA WASN´T BLACK. THERE´S PORTRAITS OF HIM AND NOWHERE IN HISTORY SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT HIM AS A BLACK MAN
I just got back from Argentina and had a wonderful time. What a great culture. I will be sure to return and find those Afro-Argentinians. Great video!
Thank you, you are very welcome.
Ace, thank you so much for making this video! I`ve been always interested in afro-descendat history and culture. And I am an afrodescendent aswell. My mother was born in Estanislao del Campo, wich is in the province of Formosa, in the north of Argentina. She used to tell me about her great-grandmother, Asucena, who was black and had long white hair she used to brush. Asucena was afrodescendat, his parents arrived to this area escaping from slavery in Brazil.
The black people are native to Argentina. They were there before the Europeans. We should investigate further
Los nativos son los pueblos originarios no los negros, hay una gran diferencia entre indígena y negro, dejen de invisibilizar los pueblos originarios del continente y creo que todo es solo blanco o negro

As an argentinian this is so interesting to learn, hope this community have the recognition it deserves in a near future, we love all people here and wish them the best!
As an Argentinian you’re racist
Great, I agree. Now push to get that constitution changed to recognize the Black people living there. And compensate them for the slavery and discrimination. It is not forgotten that Blacks were placed on the front lines to be sacrificed during your wars.
Wow, never heard an Argentinian speak like you, are you sure you from there. How can a place be so racist in this day and age. Que pena por tu país

@@Patrick.Edgar.Regini i meant this channels' fans and people that usually comment under ace's videos 🤗
My 5 grandfather came from Argentina by way of Italy. The Spanish brought Italian slaves with them to Argentina. He was brought to America in the early 1700’s and married my grandmother (5) who was an indigenous person and they had five children. I saw a sales slip selling them to a plantation in the Mississippi delta, which is where I was born. I can pass for white, but I don’t. My family were black activists and we were proud people.
I lived in Argentina for two years. I never had any racist encounters and I didn’t live in the capital where all the TH-camrs go. I lived in Pablo Podesta near the cemetery with the regular people. I walked everywhere I rode the bus never had any problems based off of race. I drink mate with my neighbors I got invited to Asados. The only thing is no one learned my name. I was only known as Chino but that’s fine everyone has a nickname over there.
They treat the indigenous peoples the sàme way. They act like they do not exist.
A teacher once told me you’ll know a country is racist if you don’t see diversity in their national team. I’m a big fan of soccer I never really see a black player in Argentina national team except for Juan Sebastián Verón
Even if it’s diverse, the country is racist.

This dude is 78 and is full of vitality!❤
so, unfortunately, these Americans come to Argentina and expect their own beliefs are streamlined as theirs. The culture is totally different than the America. It is built on racism and developed based through those lines. I am not saying racism does not exist but it is another culture and should be looked in those terms.
Thanks for this post and exposing us to the wider Black Diaspora!
Great content. Thanks for posting. Good to see people quietly getting on with their lives.
I was born in the UK to Jamaican parents. I am now a senior doctor ( for more years than I want to say😊).
My experience growing up in UK in the 80s was tough, probably like many African diaspora in The West.
All we can do is make the world around us a better place, despite the obstacles we face. I really admire the young lady for working to improve the lives of others 👍🏾👏🏾
The new generation has a new theory. Vote w/your money and your feet. When all blacks from all over the globe start generating the money in black communities only and educate the kids themselves to stop the brainwashing is when all of it stops. It's just like Democrats being disgusted by the Republican Party and not knowing that they're buying Republican goods w/their Democratic $.
Vote w/your feet meaning leave the city/state/country if they don't appreciate you. Vote w/your money meaning only spend your money where it's appreciated and mainly in black owned businesses. Just to clarify ✌
Funny that the guy doesnt know that Bernardino Rivadavia was Argentina's first President. We are so racist our first President was black.
Yh but you don't like black people not only black as long they not white you all win cupa America and sing a song about mbappe abut his father's black and about the French side when they were born in France so they not african the reason you sing was because they black basically say F him go play for africa i listen to the song it not good at all

MAN, this is one of ACE's BEST
Ace, yet another informative professionally done video interview. Well done.
The content was provocatively disturbing at times, but reality is like that. Argentina insists on a culture of racist marginalization still needing oppressive validation of their existence. How sad that enlightenment eludes them. However, I’m confident despite generational indoctrination, common sense will ultimately prevail. For a country to have reduced an indigenous population by over 80% is beyond barbaric. It’s well worth the time to appeal on an international scale the crimes against humanity in Argentina. The lack of empathy emanating from many of the responses only strengthens the argument of oppression in that country and begs further investigation. Governments must be held accountable for their intolerance to marginalized citizens.
Wow, that 78-year-old man got more energy than me! LOL Man, I can't wait to see the next episode 👍

Ace brother dropped a lot, it’s amazing of our history I would like to use some of your clip definitely giving you credit.
Hugo and his daughter are very beautiful and inspiring. 💜✊🏿
for snowflakes...
Also, when you're a native indian Hispanic like full blooded you're totally discriminated against like a black person .....no difference and that's very common in all Latin America. And the social lives divide people from poor to rich and there's no middle class in Latin America
…and in some places Indians are actually treated worse. They are looked at like savages.
Love the fact she considers herself black! So many people are ashamed

Why accepting a status that's not you own...

Yes! 😁
This gentleman and his daughter was just a joy to watch and listen to! Her father raised her well! He is a beautiful BLACK man and has kept himself up in the myst of that mess created by WS! I am happy to hear that she is there fighting for the African rights in Argentina.
the people of African diaspora have largely influenced the cultures of Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil in particular yet are afforded so little in terms of political representation, let alone social or economic.
They already have the same rights? Or maybe you mean other thing by that?
It is curious the fact that the first "black" person who appears in this video of Argentina is not technically a "completely" black person... and yes! any person can attend university in Argentina and get a degree.
I just love that elderly man who still believes in his Africa Ancaster I wish to see more people speak like him.
It's not Afro-Argentinian it's African-Argentinian. It's amazing, I can't believe what she is saying. There should be an international organization to link Black people of the diaspora. We all could support each other in one way or the other. I am a Black professional that would offer my service.

Lastly, I'm living vicariously through you. In the Navy, I traveled throughout Central and South America and looked for Afro- descendants as well. Being fluent in Spanish was a blessing and a curse....because I got to hear/experience what they truly thought about black people. Again, there were more good interactions than bad, thankfully...but it truly let me know what the Afro-descendants had to put up with in those countries. Looking forward to more videos. Animo✊🏾
I knew this already. Argentina and Uruaguay. You can tell this from their national team and Argentinian players attitude.
many comments from white argentinians saying that you are wrong and even insulting you, say a lot, truth really hurts, it means you are doing a really good job.That's the purpose, making more awereness about racism or any other social issue, that part of the society and goverments want to hide, avoid or don't want to see. BRAVO.
Of course they will say he is wrong truth really hurts. Why would so many people go through so much trouble to hate harm hurt and steal a race of people and their castles and true identity 🤔 Looks like the Bible already told this story and will not end well for the thieves or their descendants

The work you do is so important! Do not let these people in the comments try and contort the history of these people, denial is often Racism's first line of defense!
What a phenomenal in-depth discourse with Mr. Hugo who resembles Barack Obama and Ms. Milien, his splendid daughter, about racism and the eradication of Afro- Argentina his/herstory. I was astonished how Milien was picked on due to her race. Racism is a global phenomenon. Ace- I immensely enjoyed this documentary and interviews.
In the schools they represent what was a reality in colonial Argentina, there were slaves and they were generally street vendors, they are acts with total respect, in no way is it about offending but rather portraying the reality of the time, and I never saw that portray them in a mocking tone. As for racism, there is no doubt that there was and is, but it is not exclusively against an ethnic group, but rather with social strata, and based on statistics, we are one of the least racist countries in the world. Another clarification with what the lawyer says, here in Argentina saying black is not only negative, most of the time it is affectionate and is used with close people. He also lies and exaggerates that housewives are black, education from kindergarten to university is free and whether from any social class they have the opportunity to graduate from a university career, he also lies that people of color have salaries minors only because of their skin color, totally false, it is not true that they are fired because of their skin color, otherwise they would not be hired in the first place, the rights are equal for everyone, no one fires without having any consequence, there are laws that protect to EVERYONE, regardless of ethnicity. Being a lawyer, she does not know what the constitution says, "Foreigners enjoy all the civil rights of citizens in the territory of the Nation; they can exercise their industry, commerce and profession, they are not obliged to admit citizenship, nor to pay extraordinary forced contributions "Tell me where it says Europe...? She is middle class, she is a professional and says that she has fewer rights, fewer opportunities because of her skin color? It can be seen at the end, when he says that Alberto Fernandez is a good president and that they have more rights... Just by remembering what he said in a conference “The Mexicans came from the Indians, the Brazilians from the jungle, but the Argentines from the boats”, it is very obvious that he has no objectivity...
@@LythoERM Also-the President's comments were racist and xenophobic. " Brazilians emerged from the jungle." He was trying to fraternizewith the Spain Prime Minister and made a vast blunder.
This video was incredible. I read about the history of Afro-Argentinians back in college. I'm glad Hugo and his daughter(😍) cleared up the history. Also, Ace it's "colorism" not classism when people of darker skin are discriminated against for the complexion.
Also considered a caste system.
Exactly, and they discriminate against African hair texture as well . When you come with dark skin or light skin and your hair texture is kinky you are treated differently. If you are brown skin with straight hair you are still treated better than light skin with kinky hair. Rise up people of African and African descent . Wear you hair and be proud. Ase'o
Menem was a 2 term president and he did not look very white european.... Racism can go both ways

Ace, if there's someone worthy of touching on this subject, that is you.
If ANYONE dares to criticize you for talking about this, well... They're probably the kind of people we need to educate.
EDIT: Great video. I'd like to add that the younger generations have a loooooooot less prejudice in almost every aspect. It's probably something more prevalent in older people, and (and I just realized of this after listening to the girl's point of view) there are many racist undertones in some things we do or say everyday and we don't even notice.
I hate when people say 'n*gro de mierd@' (sh!tty n!gger) as an insult. It's terribly common, but it's so engrained in our slang that many pepole don't see an issue when they say it.

@@dr.a7759 🙄Yo would never understand.
Regrettably, Argentina, like the majority of the countries of America, has received immigration from the lower classes of Europe before and after the First World War. Mainly from nationalist peoples such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Jewish people, Ireland, states that later formed the German empire, etc. Each people that arrived in Argentina brought with them a lot of racist ideologies corresponding to the spread of nationalism throughout Europe at that time. Obviously the predominant people are Spanish, due to the conquest and colonization of the Rio de la Plata started in 1516 under the authorization of King Carlos I of Spain. After the colonization, around 1580, the migration of African slaves took place and continued until the 1810s. These waves of immigration due to European wars and slave trade ended up forming an Argentine people full of divisions, where racism continues to this day towards a lot of minorities. Also existing racism among the minorities themselves "inherited" from their European ancestors and their conflicts of yesteryear. In this mix of races, I think, the African people was the most damaged. The indoctrination was total and they lose all kind of knowledge about their origins and traditions.

They want to destroy any country in which immigrants all get along. They want to make sure they can still divide us playing on race. The African Americans have been lured into victimhood by those who wish to control them. And because it is easier to make others responsible, instead of standing in their greatness, most of them revel in the role. Argentina is the most accepting country to immigrants in history. Argentines are ALL mixed race by now, racism as a concept is ridiculous and 99% of Argentines would agree with this statement unless they are absolute hypocrites. When they deride what they call “cabezas” they do not refer by this to any color of skin in particular but to ANY person who acts in an uncivilized,disrespectful and selfish manner. The woke nonsense won’t go far in Argentina. Stop trying to introduce it.

As a Black man from the USA who has travelled extensively throughout South America...what struck me most about racism as experienced in South America was the power vacuum. The social racism actually felt a bit more relaxed to me as there's more of an open shared denial of the issue. However, there's no denial of the power vacuum. Black people are limited to lower level jobs. Every once in a great while, you might find a Black in middle management, but you'll never see one above that. That's the reality of South American racism. Anybody can sleep with anyone...but putting a Black in a position of real authority is the no.
I might sound racist by what I say, but in Argentina black people usually come from poor families by themselves, so it's not so normal to see poor people in good jobs.
Remember that your country has a big population of black people, In my life I've met like 10, maybe, and I'm 33... I don't know what they mean exactly by "black" people, if they have to be from Africa, not a lot...majority are mestizo like me or white..
Thanks for the insight. You can tell the colonization of South America was successful. The life of a black man is worthless in most of those countries....Still very beautiful places.

it would only be hypocritical if I act like it didn't exist in America. you jumping the gun on this one, I find it funny that people get uptight when we start talking about something that exists sometimes I wonder do they get upset because they come from a place of privilege perhaps they never experience it personally and hate when they hear people talk about it because it makes them feel uncomfortable perhaps they have some form of unintentional guilt and the only way they can cope with that is by being negative either way that's their problem imagine a subject that's not something that people can talk about.

@@ACEDTVL ok, where are those videos? USA had and have like a thousand times bigger problems about racism toward black and other races. You got a lot of material. Or your friend, sabbatical, Who was looking for nazis in Bariloche. No other country in the world took some many nazis as USA, where is his video about Operation paperclip? We never was a big slave market, so we never have a numerous black population. The vast majority of black argentinians died in wars, diseases or mixed with the millions of europeans inmigrants. Of course there was racism back then, it was fuc**ng 18 and 19 centurie, saddly, racism was common all over the globe. But we didnt receive again black slaves as other countries, thats why, for example, Brazil actually have black population. I play baseball here and have black teammates, some of them i consider my friends (most came from dominican rep and Cuba) never ever have a bad situation being with them. They are fully integrated, with normal jobs and half of them married with Argentinians womans...of course, im not with them 24x7 but ive got first hand testimonies about being black in Buenos Aires. Racism exist, wont deny, but this video (as the sabbatical with the nazis) reinforce that missconception about Argentina is racist and Nazi, when its not like that at all. I follow you and your experiences around the world but noticed a obsesión with this issues while being in Argentina...and not the same in other places that had those problems like 20 times bigger and more cruel.
if you think you telling me all these things about America is going to get me upset then you are sadly mistaken in fact it shows that you're trying to deflect from the topic that we are talking about please try to stay on topic or perhaps you're mad that I would even consider making a video about talking to citizens about their experience in their own country and if that's the case then perhaps you have some issues that you need to deal with but showcasing your anger to me is not going to fix it I'm glad you know some of your history when it comes to Argentina but you do not know the full story sadly because a lot of that stuff is not even taught in your history books in school I know this because I have taken the time to make a documented series about black people in Argentina you are actually watching the first episode I would recommend you watching all six where I interview professors and more people on their experience living in the country to be honest with you when I first came up with the idea to look for black people in Argentina I think it was going to be one video but after talking to this guy I realized that I couldn't get all the answers in one video I needed to do more studying and more research which I did you are welcome to watch this series if you don't that's also cool but I like this video because it actually helps gives people an answer and opens a debate you can be all upset that I would do this and start calling me American this that but that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about argentines not Americans in this video if you want to see me talk about Americans then all you have to do is go to my American videos peace th-cam.com/video/bZSdXhAJFQY/w-d-xo.html

As i said i follow you and your videos. And some of what they said its true (have my doubts about Rivadavia, due to his parents were spaniards) What i dont understand is that afro Argentinian have always been very very strange to find, they are like a minimum percentage, like less of 1% (1,8% only in 1887 cense), but there is Tons of videos from foreigners talking about how racist Argentina is or Nazis in the patagonia. I know that it a just cause, i know they deserve to be more recognize. Which i dont understand is that current and popular media content about racism in Argentina, while i can name you at least 15 countries with more problems and were extremely more cruel than those argentinians back in the past. I see an obsession with the racism and Nazi issue whenever Argentina is mentioned. The only difference between us and other countries that have a black population is that we werent a big slave market, so the ones that remains mixed with the inmigrants. Luckly, times are changing and, step by step, black argentinian people are begginning to get some recognition, like Maria Remedios del Valle. She was a sargeant, black and woman, elevated to that degree from one of our national icons, Manuel Belgrano. And also the new currents of black african inmigrants are well received, for example i can metion an angolan comedy performer, ari balanga. Peace to you too.

The Afro population that existed, decreased significantly due to the wars of independence, also due to the yellow fever epidemic and finally due to miscegenation, because there was a huge wave of European migration from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, that quadrupled the small population that previously existed. But there is another reason that isn't frequently mentioned and it is that Argentina was one of the first countries to abolish slavery; For this reason, many slave owners sold them in neighboring countries, with the aim of not losing their economic investment. I think this fact is deliberately hidden because if they are trying to install the idea that Argentina is a racist country... How could it be possible that Argentina is one of the first countries to abolish slavery???

Very true and I think this was due to the prevalent Roman Catholic religion and its teachins!
Correction: TEACHINGS.
Just because Aregentina abolished slavery doesn't mean racism can't exist. Most countries eventually abolished slavery and there is tons of racism. That comment shows true ignorance. Instead of closing your eyes and pretending it doesn't exist, take time to listen to people. They are telling you of their very own experience with racism. Are they liars because you refuse to listen?
@@kpat3052 Hey nobody's perfect! lol.!
@@kpat3052 Seguramente habrá algunas personas racistas en Argentina porque el racismo existe en todos el mundo. Lo que trato de explicar es qué Argentina no es un país particularmente racista y que el racismo no es el motivo por el cual hay muy pocos negros. En Argentina nunca hubo muchos pero los que había se asimilaron y mezclaron al resto de la población y esto es muestra de integración justamente lo contrario al racismo.
Argentina was one of the first countries to start the Freedom process with the Law of wombs of 1813, the Law is from 1811. Parguayan war was in 1870, and the two black regiments did not participate because it was a triple alliance war, it was not necessary
Falkland 🇫🇰 war. Argentina got defeated by England 🇬🇧 😕
@@d.bcooper2271 The English outnumbered and outgunned us, my friend
As a black latino, I can tell you that Argentina is one of the most racist countries in South America. The word "negro" is commonly used there as an insult to people with darker skin, even if they aren't of african descent. It's a nice place to visit and the women are beautiful, but I wouldn't live there.
All the light completed people are upset. All the melanated people appreciate the interview. Hit dogs holler
Como argentino me pregunto porque desde sitios de EU estan haciendo una campaña de desprestigio a mi pais.
Es muy raro, todo el mundo sabe que no existe racismo en arg , algo sucio hay atras de todos estos sitios...
Yo pensaba igual, hasta que me toco vivir la xenofobia en primera persona en un pais extranjero... ahi, cuando volvi, comence a prestar atencion lo que pasaba a mi alrededor, a los demas...y ahi note, que el racismo, es sutil en Argentina... esta, pero camuflado. La mayoria de las personas que dicen que en Argentina no hay racismo, es, porque no lo viven dia a dia... un hombre de color, no puede cambiar su color de piel.. lo lleva todo el dia con El... y es El, el que va a percibir el racismo... por eso, los demas, nos cuesta notarlo.. porque no lo vivimos en carne propia. Hasta que yo no lo vivi en otro lado, no lo pude ver en mi propio pais. Si no me crees.. ve el comentario posterior al tuyo.. "para muestra.. un boton"...
No hay racismo en nuestro país, flaco? La frase "negr0 de mierd4" te suena de algún lado? Ya sé que no apunta a los afros, pero sí apunta a la gente no blanca que tiene mayoritariamente rasgos indígenas, y en menor medida mulatos. Pero ese racismo existe, dentro de la clase media/alta/sociedades descendientes de inmigrantes, y también dentro de la policía y la justicia, por lo menos.
@@joagalo la frase gringo de mierda entra como racismo?
My wife was born and raised in Cordoba and her entire family is racist their Argentine/Italian and I have never met any other people as racist as them
@@voodooisgod4553los estadounidenses que dieron origen al kuk kluz Klan nos dicen racistas?
More than 70 percent of the Argentine population is of European origin, especially from the south, such as Spain and Italy, which are among the most racist countries in Europe.
You sure they're the most racist? Hhmmmm
@@YoureRightIThink In west Europe, I think he might have a point but, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and most Slavic post Soviet countries in the east of Europe express more hate towards different race, it's funny sometimes, soviet people will welcome and show love to a black American but express hate to a black African, I've seen in with my own eyes lol
@@YoureRightIThink yes the most my mother is italian and i know Italy and Spain very well
@@christiannarro8613 really? That's wild
@@christiannarro8613 that true. People treat African American better than African. Its sad because they have same descendants.
Argentina from the mid-1850s to 1970 received 14 million European immigrants, most of them Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, German, Polish, and Asian colonies. From 1600 to 1800, the Spanish and French brought Afro slaves. They did their own thing with the native Indians, almost exterminating all the tribes, that is why 85% of its inhabitants are white, 14% Amerindian or mestizo, and only 1% Afro.
"They did their own thing with the native Indians" sounds like conjecture
@@tahzwalker they had no other options. They had to do their own thing with them.
Jamás en mi vida había visto o conocido Argentinos negros. Conocí Argentinos Blancos y Argentino indígenas. Yo soy Boricua negra.
