Brooklyn gorl Lala is here drop a bit of tea. Enjoy. :justabit:
A lot of people took this essay the wrong way - as if she was trying to "separate" herself from Blackness by proclaiming her PR heritage, but she cleared that up in a subsequent interview below. It's about respecting her heritage.
LaLa Says It Loud And Proud: ?I?m Puerto Rican Dammit? Get It Right!!!?QuoteIt is obvious that LaLa is tired of people mistaking her for being black or even mixed, so she decided to write an essay on it:

QuoteI never said I wasn?t black. And since when does being black and being Latina have to be mutually exclusive?
Don't overlook this.
Then what's the point at all?
Black and Latina are not mutually exclusive, what's so difficult about that?!
So the black girls growing up in Malibu or bel air around nothing but white people arent black? :dead:
Black and "African American" are not the same. By your definition Obama isn't "black" either.
Black Americans aren't used to seeing black people fully embrace their Nationality and race exclusively so there's usually a problem when a foreign black person hypes up their Nationality and it's usually seen as trying to distance themselves from blackness when it's not mutally exclusive.
Like when Lupita was blowing up and she said she was Mexican and Kenyan there was alot of people who side eyed her because of that.

this is why I be so conflicted when black get upset about White supremacy. Outside of the mess aren't they ultimately doing the same thing? Celebrating their heritage/race?
I'm just over all this shit tbh.

Romeo Santos and Ronaldinho know they are Black, growing up Fat Joe was always white to me funny enough

What does this
QuoteWhite supremacy or white supremacism is a racist ideology based upon the belief that white people are superior in many ways to people of other races and that therefore white people should be dominant over other races. White supremacy has roots in scientific racism and it often relies on pseudoscientific arguments. Like most similar movements such as neo-Nazism, white supremacists typically oppose people of color as well as people who are members of most religions.
Have to do with being black and from a Latino country or island? :dead: :plzstop:

Do you mean when black people put down other blacks for celebrating their heritage or when black in general celebrate their heritage?
Niggers in Spanish speaking countries know damn well they are black, they go to black hair stores, make Afro music, practice West African religions and identify with other black celebrities. That's why every black celeb has a massive Brazilian fan page.
I honestly think it's only in the United States they develop that sense of Latino. Same for white Latinos in their home country they are white, over here they get lumped in the Hispanic box as if they aren't white anymore.
Cubans, Dominicans etc all have a long history of racial qualifications of white, black & other just like USA.
You only need basic knowledge in the history of the Americas.
f
And tbh I don't put to much stock in someone claiming "black" anyway.
People forget that it's a colonial term given to Black people and not something we accepted.
Before Slavery in the Americas there were no black people until white people said they were.
it's interesting how Native Americans and Asians were able to make Red & yellow racial slurs and demand you call them by their Ethnic/Nationality or you're racist. It's more complexities than people think.
I clearly said
QuoteOutside of the mess aren't they ultimately doing the same thing? Celebrating their heritage/race?

Blacks don't have a history of killing others for the sake of Black Pride and Culture though Marg
When people celebrate Black Pride it's usually celebrating cultural diveristy, the overcomings of obstacles, the different ethnic groups, religions etc.
White culture historically is laced with extreme racism and slavery, that's why when you think of "White Culture" the negative connoattaions pop up before the good ones do.

Many AFRICANS come here straight from West Africa and will hush you the minute "Black" comes out your mouth. "I am not 'Black' I am Nigerian.", etc.
Plea' now you're making things up. I actually have a big Nigerian family in NYC.

Were they celebrating their own when they couldn't stop raping black women?
Their whole mess is based on the fear and the knowledge that black men are superior to them.
Afro, did you leave me hanging on this salsa? :guys:
White pride is not necessary because they know the actual cultures they stem from. Hence St. Patrick's Day, Oktoberfest, Polka music.
AA had to develop a new culture.
Black pride is not equivalent to white pride.
Black Pride is more like Polish Pride or Finnish Pride.
Any indigenous Nigerian that says/claims they are not black is not to be taken seriously. Might as well give Rachel a pass.
Well you can find outrageous examples for literally everything. I doubt it's a real "thing".

Quote from: Malian Prince on September 09, 2017, 03:10:13 PM
Bottom line is I ain't making ANYTHING up. How you want deez eggs
To be fair I have heard both :plzstop:
Africans that don't want to to be associated with Western culture won't claim the word black because of the negative connotations it holds in the West, they rather prefer to be caLledrod by their nationality or the ethnic tribe.
And there are those who don't see the difference.
So if Swizs Bearz slaps a turban on and says he's Middle Eastern, that's that for you too, Herb? If we are taking the racial/"biological"/"genetic" aspect out of it, I see what u mean. If we are speaking strictly culture. But then Jamaicans need their own category mess too.
damn he's fine!
I'm man crazy today :dead:

Yeah I've learned that in alot of countries Black = African American. So alot of time when someone who is obviously black says they aren't black they don't necessarily mean Fuck Africa. They were just taught a different lie than us. They we're taught were all one Nationality first, race comes whenever. We weren't allowed that option so it confuses alot of people when they see foreign non African blacks proudly accepting their Nationality.
I've seen alot of people even get mad at European Blacks for calling themselves British, French etc., especially if they know which African country they hail from.
Hey guys
