Brooklyn gorl Lala is here drop a bit of tea. Enjoy.

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!!!?

It 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:

I never said I wasn?t black. And since when does being black and being Latina have to be mutually exclusive?

Don't overlook this.

[SouravMay]

Then what's the point at all?

[SouravMay]

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? 

[SouravMay]

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.
