Having grown up in NYC, where our communities were intertwined, a black person that spoke Spanish (Cuban, DR, Puerto Rico, Panama) was the norm. I think it is odd that people have not seen a black Latino. Have met some folks from DR here in Atlanta that thought it was funny that people saw them as an oddity.
Exactly. I find that Latinos outside of NYC are not exposed to that. I'm from Brooklyn, and when my mom married my little sister's father, that was my exposure to Afro-Panamians. He is a Black Panamanian from Bocas del Toro. His mother was a Black Nicaraguan. His family was dark-skinned and they spoke Spanish and English. I learned from interaction with him, his family, and the environment of Brooklyn (especially school).
Now living in Georgia, and working construction, the Mexicans look at me like I am an anomaly when they hear me speak Spanish. The Venezuelans are not so amazed because there are significant amount of Afro-Venezuelans. I love the respect and acceptance that I receive once it's known that I speak Spanish.
Everything this brother has experienced , I've experienced the same things.
Dude, you're a riot. I just started learning spanish a few months ago at age 53 so I still have a long ways to go. Sorry that you have to deal with the stereotype but it's cool that you just take everything in stride. Que tengas un buen dia!
I’ve learned to keep striving no matter what!!! I’m really happy that you’re learning Spanish ! Age doesn’t mean anything boss man! Keep grinding and working really hard! You’ll be speaking fluently In no time. If you have any suggestions or need any explanation on anything let me know and I’ll try and get a video out on it! Bendiciones!
I can relate to some of your story. I'm black and my mom is from Panama. I've been learning Spanish for 11 months now. I wish I had started sooner, but better now than never. Great video bro.
You’re so right ! Better now than never!! I’m glad you’ve taken the initiative to start learning the most beautiful language on the planet !! And it’s SOO cool that you’re panameño!! Gracias por ver el video!
Keep going because I'm Panamanian to and been learning for a year and practicing everyday. Put the work in because it's worth it
@@edthebank4115 Definitely worth it. A few days ago, I said one sentence to a new girl at work, who doesn't speak any English. I think the little bit that I said helped her feel more comfortable. Before that, It seemed as if she would try to shrink when she saw me. As if she was afraid I'd say something in English and she wouldn't know how to respond. Now she's more relaxed and makes casual remarks when she sees me.
I actually found your channel because I was looking for Spanish telenovelas with black people. Like, not as side characters, but as part of the main cast, and...surprise, surprise, found no telenovelas of this kind on CZcams, but your video came up. Happy I found it. I think the mindset of what a Spanish speaker looks like is a mixture of personal exposure and media representation. There are a lot of Spanish-fluent black South Americans, but they do not get the kind of exposure as one would think. I'm learning Spanish myself, along with two other foreign languages. Please keep being you and I'll keep being me. Mantienes hacer que haces, mi amigo. Look forward to more vids.
Glad to have you here ❤️
you have such a vibrant personality, i love it 💗
but people are really ignorant to even think people who speak spanish ‘look’ a certian way, it’s ridiculous 🤦🏾♀️
Thank you SOO very much!!! Yes , so many ignorant people !
Ayyy que padre!!! Soy negra también (afroamericana) y español es mi idioma segundo y vivo en mississippi. Aquí realmente soy como un unicornio, literalmente yo y mi prima somos las únicas personas negras que yo sé que puede hablar español. Nosotras tenidos experiencias similares también, finalmente alguien que entiende la lucha😂
Me alegra saber que no soy el único que ha pasado por esas cosas 🤣 y me encanta que ustedes dos hayan aprendido a hablar el español. Sigan así!!! Bendiciones ❤️
Bien hecho!😀
I can totally relate. My dad is Afro-Panamanian and my mom is African American. As someone who speaks English and Spanish, I would get shocked looks from Black and Latino folks because of being able to speak Spanish with ease and without shame. It is so nice to see another Panamanian and represent the culture. Continuar representando la cultura y joder a los que odian.
Muy bien Video hermano. Soy haitiano 🇭🇹Really motivate me to keep learning on my Journey 👊.
Que chévere!! Siempre veo tus videos !!!
Purrrrr! I’m proud of your journey. I get doubted too! But we are out here!!
Right there wit ya. I grew up in Austin. I confused blacks and Hispanics. I learned in HS majored in it in college. UT Arlington. It never gets old.... the look on somebody's face to hear spanish comin from me.
Im black too tryna get fluent!! He estado en las clases de español por lo menos de 4 años, y en mi trabajo, he estado practicando con hispanohablantes, escuchando a sus historias, y entendiendo a la cultura. Espero que hablarlo con fluidez un día. Also from FW, TX
Me alegra que lo estés aprendiendo!! Algún día vas a poder hablarlo con fluidez! Disfruta del proceso!
I feel this on every level smh 🤦🏾♂️ as a Puerto Rican I always have people look at me like I’m crazy. Or having a Spanish speaker tell me I’m not Rican because I’m black lol 😂. Please tell my abuela that I’m black lmao 🤣😂😂
Hahaha🤣🤣 PLEASEEEEE tell mi abuela
Facts. I'm a black Rican too, people always asking why or how I speak spanish. Or people who aren't even Puerto Rican saying "You don't look Puerto Rican".
You are so amazing! I just came across a couple of your videos and I am enjoying hearing about your experiences and advice for learning Spanish. That’s one of my biggest goals right now. Thanks for putting out such great content!
As far as I know, I’m not Hispanic, but I am Cajun. Pero hace años, yo tenía un amigo puertorriqueño que me enseña español. Más pa’lante a High School. Empecé hablar español con otros hispanohablantes. Siempre recibe reacciones fuertes cuando hablo. “Tus padres son latinos?” “Eres puertorriqueño?” “Eres dominicano?” cosas así. Nobody was willing to believe I was just a black dude who spoke Spanish. It’s all good tho, I’m still Boricua at heart. 🇵🇷
Even tho I get these reactions, a lot of them were heartwarming. (I’m not entirely fluent, but I can navigate conversations fairly well.
Maybe because you speak sooooo well! That’s normally how they react 🤣!
Thats my nephew job well done 👏
Thank you , nanny ❤️❤️❤️
A black man can do anything he puts his mind to. Im black....all black, but yet I speak Spanish. Not all self taught but mostly self inflicted. I can relate. Many just don't wanna believe what they hear, and yes black trip more when they find out I can. Who the hell are you when they find out. Most times its negative reactions. Most Spanish men seems to brush us aside and think the one thing we after is ....you guess it... Spanish cats. If that was the case more black men would learn. I learned because I can't stand not understanding.
Exacto!!! That’s LITERLLY what it be ! 🤣 gracias por ver!
Wow that’s dope bro! You literally switch so effortlessly and the accent is beautiful. I’m a black boy trying to learn Spanish I’ve never had any previous exposure to Spanish. Any tips into because fluent in Spanish cause whew YALL be flying threw them words.
I’m glad that you’re learning Spanish! You should watch a lot of things en español &Try reading kid books!! Those things will give you the exposure you need ! Try to train your ear to get used to hearing Spanish!
I appreciate the videos I have seen of yours (Panamanian slang and this one). You are informative and funny. I’m sorry when people have not been gracious or accepting. Also: THANK YOU for the subtitles in Spanish and English. I read Spanish pretty well but when it is spoken at regular pace, it’s hard for me to keep up. Having the words on the screen allows me to process the Spanish while I hear it. Muchas gracias por sus videos y su trabajo. (Lo siento por mi español- estoy trabajándolo.)
I’m so glad that you enjoy them!! Te deseo muy buena suerte con tu español !!
Demontre I wish I knew you man, amazing video! I love speaking and learning the spanish language. I would speak it to people who couldn't speak English very well at jobs I've had before and even a lady I know that cuts my hair, she's so sweet! It puts a smile on their face to see someone speaking their language and it warms my heart. I really hope to become fluent soon! Estoy muy emocionado por más videos de ti. Dios te bendiga.
Muchas gracias, señor ! Thank you for the comment it really means a lot ! I’m glad that you’re learning Spanish and just remember NEVER to give up and really soon you’ll be fluent!! Te lo prometo! And I should be posting more videos soon! Things to do with my Spanish journey and other things I’ve been working on. Bendiciones!!!
Panama. The first to make Spanish reggae then it became reggaeton in PR.
Look up El General
True word, I met and moved around with El General while living in Panama City when he started getting famous. He is from Colón...cool dude! A lot of respect for 🇵🇦 the first Latin country where I learned Spanish.
Eso es tan genial. So el hombre que también habla español. Estoy fluido pero es muy lejos de perfecto. I experienced the same things because I’m just a reg brotha. I taught myself Spanish and I live in Oklahoma. Muy buena historia primo. Keep up the good work
Muchas gracias!!! And that’s so super cool! Yo también aprendí español por cuenta propia! If you keep practicing , you’ll soon , one day become fluent!
I experienced all the same.
I'm half Guyanese & half Panamanian
esp. when I was in Florida, Cubans at the nail salon
think I couldn't understand their conversations lol
y mi prometido es mexicano, así que a veces me miran mal. Pero no podría importarme menos
No sé por qué la gente todavía no están acostumbradas a que los morenos también PUEDEN hablar español 🤦🏽♂️
@@Demontreeee exactamente, es una locura y muchos de estos latinos de apariencia "española" tienen un montón de negro en ellos en su árbol genealógico
Hola Guapo! Abuelita está muy orgullosa de ti! Te Amo!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Hola abuelita !! Muchas gracias ❤️❤️🥰 yo más a ti !
I’m glad I found you because I’ve struggled with my identity as a black Panamanian. I’m born in ga. My mom is Panamanian and my dad is Country geechie lol but I’ve been trying to dive deeper into this side of my culture and I love this. People think I speak Spanish but I only know a little bit
I’m glad to have you here ❤️
Wait. Your a African American from Texas who speaks Spanish fluently better than even the Hispanics I know? Kid, you have earned my respect! And I mean it when I say that.
Yes, yes! 🤣 jaja! Thank you so much!
@@Demontreeee de nada. Sigan con el buen trabajo. Yours truly from Florida
Esto video! Hermano! Me encanta!!
Muchas gracias, hermana !!!!
Felicidades Demontre , Muy lindo tu video.
Thank you for posting this! Im also a black man learnins to speak Spanish. He estado aprendiendo espanol hace quince semanas ahora. I have a long way to go, but im a waiter in a restaurant where i noticed more and more latinos have started eating there after i begin learning, so i have a lot of oppurtunities to practice. Thanks for sharing your story, i wondered how the experiences were for other african american men trying to reach fluency. Buena suerte brother
Hola ! Gracias por ver el video ! WOWO! Only quince semanas ? I wish you all the luck in the world ! I’m happy you’ve decided to take on such a beautiful language like Spanish ! You won’t regret it! And please practice with those native speakers any chance you get and ask many questions!!
Hey Demontre! Its been ten months for me now! Yo creo que estoy mejorando mucho. Puedo entender más del idioma y empecé hablar un poco más. Uno de mis gerentes es mexicano y a él hablarme en español en trabajo todos los días. Tuve un mesa con dieciséis mujeres de El Salvador anoche. Simplemente las saluda como están todos, and you should have seen how they all leaned back in their chairs, smiled at me and said muy bien i'm unison. Me hizo reír mucho. Soy muy estudioso y ojala puedo logro tu nivel de español. Estoy seguro que cometí errores en este comentario, recuerdo que soy principiante. Oh and belated felíz año nuevo
You just earned a subscriber ❤️❤️
Welcome ! ❤️
I like you. I love your energy! ❤
Woahhh! Thank you!!!! ❤️
Awesome video! In Colombia I experienced the opposite. People automatically assumed I speak Spanish because a lot of them look just like us. I had to begin every conversation with..."Mi Espanol es mas o menos." Otherwise I felt like they thought I was slow because I took too long to respond (1st I have to translate what they say into English, form an answer, translate that to Spanish...then say it)...LOL! On a different day I met some Black Americans, we were having a conversation in English and this kid started pointing at us and whispering to his mother!! ROTFL!
I heard there’s mannyyyyyyyy people who look like us who live in that country! That’s great that you get to travel ! Also, your Spanish is very good in my opinion ! Keep it up!
gracias por muchas cosas. :) gracias por compartir tu experiencias y gracias tambien por hablar español y escribir subtitulos. espero que todo vaya bien contigo!
De nada !! Gracias a ti!
@@Demontreeee De nada :). por favor, puedes ayudarme? que significa la palabra que diciste a 6:52? XD no conozco la ultima palabra. XD tiene la letra "m".
The correct way to say it would be “que significa la palabra que dijiste *” !! And I said “es una morena “ ! Morena referring to people of darker skin.
@@Demontreeee gracias ! 😃
i can relate to the part where people that speak the language keep speaking in english even though they can fee and they can tell that you understand them . i don't speak spanish ,but i am familiar with the feeling. i always tell folk to not talk smack about folk because you never know who is bilingual or trilingual. i have seen asians loudly talk smack in a language that i understood and i chimed in. trust me they were all eating lemons.
LOL!!! Not they were all eating lemons 😂😂😂 &&yes,, I never talk about anyone out loud neither in English nor Spanish because one never truly knows who will understand!!
Yes!!!! Happens to me too!!! I did a video on this
I’m a black American and when I speak Spanish the natives eyes get sooo big they immediately ask de donde eres?I love Latina women so that has been my motivation I have dated so many because of there shock that I speak Spanish.The language is beautiful because of the way it is structured.
Same I'm dating a Venezuelan girl now. I learned recently, returned to the US to visit friends. I've heard latinas talking about me until I interjected in Spanish.
Then all of a sudden the tone changes. Some are aroused. Others kinda signal to their friends not to gossip around me. In the states there are food vendors who don't speak English and I would translate for people on the spot, and I'd get compliments or looks of shock and Wonder.
Me acuerdo la primera vez que me hablaste en español y yo me quede 😧😍 tener clases contigo es lo mejor. -josly jijiji
Verdad q si !!!! 😭 me haces una falta!
Great video!!
Thank you!!
12:10 por finnn encontré alguien que ha tratado con la misma experiencia que yo🤦🏽♀️. Trabajo en Target y soy una cajera y poco veces cuando tengo clientes hispanos que sólo hablan/entienden español y trato de hablar con ellos en español y vean que soy negra o que mi nombre no es latino, siguen sufriendo tratando de comunicarse sólo conmigo en inglés aunque su inglés no es bueno. Y al principio eso hirió mis sentimientos mucho porque no los aprecié socavando mi español simplemente por eso. pero ya me doy cuenta de que no puedo obligar a nadie a apreciarme🤷🏽♀️
Eso si es cierto ! No puedes obligarle a nadie a que te aprecie pero, no creo que tenga nada que ver con “apreciar” a alguien sino que no saben si de verdad lo puedes hablar o si solamente sabes un poquito y tienen miedo de que digan una palabra y que tu no la conozcas! Espero que las cosas se mejoren para ti! ❤️
@@Demontreeee eso tiene sentido, gracias!🙏🏽
Lo sentimos, pero no es común conocer a afro-americanos que hablen Español y nos incomoda el cambiar a hablar en Español sin saber qué tan bien dominas el idioma. Además, de veras nos esforzamos por entender y hablar en Inglés, entonces a veces seguimos hablando aunque no lo hagamos muy bien. Se aprecia mucho que hayas aprendido nuestro idioma y que lo hables tan bien. No te decepciones, mejor disfruta nuestros programas de TV, música, y películas. 😙😙😙
@@kulailaholt, Está bien ser negra, eres muy hermosa, no dejes que nadie más te diga lo contrario

Growing up as a Panamanian I loved every moment watching people trip out when my family spoke Spanish!I would always ask my mom what are they saying when I heard others speak Spanish around us and my mom will respond to mind my own business😂😂for years I always blamed my parents for not teaching my siblings and I Spanish when we were younger but I’m learning now❤
Hola fellow Panamanian! Gracias por ver mi video y por dejar un comentario! I’m sure I had those experiences, but I don’t remember because I’ve been speaking Spanish for so long now 🤣 I’m so glad that you’re learning now although it would have been COOL had your parents and family members taught you ! But it’s never too late ! Good luck on your journey!❤️ if you have any specific recommendations or topics you’d like me to cover or you need help with , I’m always open!
Almost at 1K! A huevo!!
I know!! I’ll be posting soon! Gotta stay consistent
Yeah its the same for me Demontre growing up in California. Its just the mexican culture that has that lack of black people. Plus ive felt it from black americans also because in Cali you dont have many spanish speaking black people
Si señor ! I understand exactly where you’re coming form!
From*
es cierto la gente le gusta cuando uno puede hablar su idioma. recuerdo k podia ayudar a alguien en el supermercado porque ella no habla mucho ingles y no hay muchas personas en jamaica k pueden hablar el idioma
Así es !! Woah! Que bien que hablas español viviendo en Jamaica !
Gracias
love this video keep grinding estoy aprendiendo espanol ahora gracias
I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! And it’s a great thing that you’re learning español!! Te deseo muy buena suerte con tu aprendizaje! ❤️
@Demontre Brown gracias por eso
It’s funny because people look at me like it’s so sort of anomaly that I speak Spanish or say “ooooh you speak Spanish!” or act like they don’t understand me, or my wife used to repeat what I said. However; when we’d go with her family everyone understands me and it’s great.
Great video
Thank you very much !
I just turned 63, and I'm learning Spanish now, it's very interesting, but I'm going to learn.
Wow!! That’s amazing!! Stick around and the channel will help you improve !
loved watching this! estoy entiendo español ahora mismo en mexico con mi hijo.
apriendo* 🥴
Oh wow qué chévere!!! How are you liking Mexico ?
it’s good! it’s very calm and peaceful here. it’s a good place for self reflection and to just slow down a bit.
Great to know !!! Espero poder visitar algún día !
You need to teach me ❤️❤️💞
I tried !!! 😭😭
Just discovered your channel today. A lot of Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and Cubans are racially black, not sure why people couldn’t believe you spoke Spanish.
Yes you should speak Spanish for a day
12:14 yooooo! Literally, this happens to me all the time, even when I can understand their Spanish better than their english and they understand my spanish, they’ll assume I don’t understand their Spanish, and speak English.
I envy your fast speaking
De verdad mi loko🥲
Saludos desde you now santo domingo
Desde SANTO DOMINGO!? No puede ser!!! 🤯 woah!!
I love it
I’m glad that you enjoyed!!!
Me han tocado situaciones más o menos así. En cuba, RD, Costa Rica, panama y Colombia de mis observaciones todos tienen muchos hispanohablantes negros… Si no mucho, mas que se crea
En costa rica conocí varia gente negra que habla hispano.
por favor lo dice mas historias de la gente hablando de usted en español 😃
New subscriber awesome job gracias 🙏🏾
Muchas gracias!
Ignora los envidiosos hermano. Nuestro mundo es muy complejo.
Yo no les hago caso 🤣 son bastante ignorantes y no más hablan por hablar!! Gracias por ver el video! Bendiciones
I'm trying to learn spanish but yall speak so doggone fast, it's hard to keep up! But it's mad sexy!
It’s not that fast 🤣🤣 it’s only because you don’t know it! Once you learn it you’ll look back and be like “wow I once thought that was hard?” And the language is very sexy! 😉
That jacket fire
Me alegra muchoooooo. Un otro moreno que puede hablar en español también, that had the same problems as me. I love to see it.
Si, no ha sido lo más fácil pero aquí estamos ! Me encanta que seas Moreno y que quieras aprender el español! Te deseo muy buena suerte !!
@@Demontreeee claro, igual mano. I just subscribed. I can’t wait to see your channel grow
I’m gonna try to upload more content that has to do with languages! Spanish and I’m learning a new one …
@@Demontreeee which language ? Portuguese?
Coreano!
Soy negro y habló español nativo desde hace muchos años, ¡aquí en los estados unidos! ¿Éstos son hechos?
Idk how many countries you been to but... you'll find outside of the Usa... things are really different... I didn't know until now it was weird for a black person to speak spanish lol but I've never been to texas though.
Hola. I have so many friends outside the USA and they tell me that all the time. I’ve only been &Lived here in the USA &In the state of Texas and it’s pretty foreign for a lot of people . They always look at me as if I’m doin a magic trick or something 🤣. I can’t wait to experience other countries !
@@Demontreeee It's gonna be a whole new vibe for you... The only thing though is you might still get a surprise look from locals, but it won't be because u black, but because of how you dress lol... American style sticks out, so if you speaking as fluent as you are and look like a gringo then you might get dat look... but still will be good vibes.
You are exceptional. Clearly talented and cute too. Love you man.
Wowww!! Thank you so much ,, means a lot !
My mom is from mexico🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Bienvenido a mi mundo!
Complicado, no? 🤣
Love you baby
Love you tooooooo ❤️❤️
Mi mama es Panamania…. Pero quando yo eres un joven, ella no cominique conmigo en Espanol…….ella amiga le dijo no ensenara espanol porque esto es Estados Unidos
Tu mamá te hubiera seguido hablando en español! Es parte de tu cultura y también es muy útil !!
My Spanish isn't anywhere near as good as yours but I'm above the average American by a good ways. I've got crazy looks at jobs just because I can communicate with clients or coworkers at the basic level.
What do you think made you learn the most Spanish.what did you study and how did you practice..My Spanish is moving along slower than it should..HELP 😆
That happens!!!!! How long have you been learning &How much time do you dedicate to actively learning everyday?
Obviamente estaban celosos de que hablases español, pero si ellos no tenían las mismas habilidades, ¿de quién era ésa la perdida? ¡Seguramente no era tuya!
Sí, mi familia me mira como si pensara que soy mejor que todos porque me dedico a aprender español y no pueden hablarlo.
No se por que los parientes son así 🤦🏽♂️ pero que bueno que hables español !!!
I been speaking Spanish 1 year on my second year 42 years old no joke
That is awesome !!! Estoy muy orgulloso de usted !! Keep it up!
Gracis
However when people do find out so speak Spanish, the call me Spanish. People who speak Spanish are not all from Spain 🇪🇸 they can be from any other Spanish speaking countries. My dad was from Cuba 🇨🇺 and I have lots of friends from Panama 🇵🇦 Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 Honduras 🇭🇳 Nicaragua 🇳🇮 Venezuela 🇻🇪 and some who speak Portugués from Brazil 🇧🇷 we are all of what would be called Afro-Latinos. And most important of all is my wife, she is from Mexico 🇲🇽 Sorry I just liked putting the flags 🤣🤣🤣
Boy you sweeter than azucar
You just need to be around more Black folks that speak Spanish
My family does!! There’s a lot of them!
@@Demontreeee
Search "CZcams" for Spanish in Equatorial Guinea. It is the only country in Africa where Spanish is spoken.
do you have family that live in panama
Hello! I don’t think so, I’m sure all of my family has moved to the states!
I need you to be my BFF
4:26 for real 😢😢
For REALLL! It was very sad!!
Bro can you talk about the hardest part of Spanish and when the breakthrough will happen I'm un mes in an the hardest part to me is the beginning help!
I’ll make a video on that very soon! Trust me , it just seems hard now , but sooner or later you’re gonna look back and go “I can’t believe I thought this was hard…. It’s too easy”!
Your true breakthrough is when you learn the subjunctive...When you get to that level you are on your way.
That is VERY TRUE!! Couldn’t have agreed more!
@@kcorpora1
Beginners and intermediate level speakers should avoid the subjunctive. I am intermediate level and Never use the subjunctive, but
I recognize it.
@@jimjimsandbern9382 not sure what you mean you never use the subjunctive? That means you are not speaking correct spanish at a given time because you are saying something that requires subjunctive.
Beginners don't know the subjunctive so they are limited in their speech. Intermediate level does know some subjunctives, if not, then they are not at the Intermediate level.
Example of bad spanish that would require the subjunctive:
I hope you come to my house.
Beginner: espero vienes a mi casa (bad)
Intermediate/advance: espero que vengas a mi casa (correct spanish).
So again I don't know what you mean that you never use the subjunctive. That would mean you are saying a lot of things wrong in the language.
4:37 really shows you the difference in mexican vs american character
Where are you from?
Texas !
where do you live?
Texas!
So crazy you had to deal with all this bro, there’s plenty of Afro Latinos but people are just ignorant
Very ignorant! I pray for them tho!
As I'm watching this video... do you know how much black people livein colombia, cuba, costa rica etc. y todo hablan es espanol. They buggin
Hola chico QLQ! No dicimos que lo que porque estoy cerca de mexico pero YO entiendo lmao. Estoy en california y arizona. Yo aprendiendo, y yo estuve nací aquí en los estados unidos pero es muy loco porque puedo hablar un poquito 😂🤷🏾♂️

The truth is, you were better _off_ because you spoke Spanish!
Oye manito e’te es yo ahora mi’mo 😭
Loco, to’ ba estar muy bien! Pa’lante!!!
@@Demontreeee claro loco, como dijiste en el video, hago esto 🤙
If only the mexicans knew the Spanish language was force taught to them from the Europeans we are the same people divided but the same like literally our father is Jacob/Israel in the bible
lol look alikes
I'm sorry is this normal in the US? I mean there is nothing shocking about a darker skin tone person speaking Spanish. I think it is normal, but that because it is normal in places like center America, South and in Spain and I actually left the bubble that was placed around everyone and actually traveled to places which destroys the stereotype that People from the North have like Canada and U.S.. I don't mention Mexico because they have all colours speaking Spanish as there first language yes, even Whites. Did people forgot as well that European have stole and mistreated People from africa and brought them to all of America not just North America which also includes Mexico too. It is so not shocking how ignore people can be around the world.
Is it very common around the US , especially here in Texas where I currently live! I don’t get why people are so ignorant about it, but then again it’s also not very common to see someone like me speaking Spanish Around here!!! The only people I know are my family… haven’t encountered anyone else really!
@@Demontreeee well my thoughts are not with you because thoughts alone are not enough. If you need some to bite people's head off online like on discord or on I can do that. I'll do my best to educate people when can. Stay safe and strong.
No one thinks that about you not one person thinks that about you
🤔 I can’t tell what you mean by your comment , LMAOO! But these are MY experiences, sir!
I think the problem is that when you tell people you're black, it's interpreted as African American. I think you should identify as a proud latino, Panamanian 🇵🇦 forget the black community hermano, eres latino y ya 😉
Ummmm he's both. It's better to represent both sides. It's refreshing seeing someone represent both sides and not just favoring one over the other.
You lost me at the doo rag.
This is crazy, I'm feel you on this .what's your IG WE NEED TO LINK IM IN TEXAS TOO IN OF COURSE 🇵🇦
