What I've noticed that the US doesn't quite understands is that in Latin America the different cultures mixed and created their own identity. As I see it, ancestry is not such a big issue in Latin America as in the US. we all mixed and became people from the same country with the same culture, which is a mix of all the cultures brought and the ones already present.
@@user-bz7lc2it5s US Blacks understand it the most, no one can be a US Black but US Black, everyone is who they are, and I don’t know why people think we want everyone who is Black to be one people cause that is not how we think as a collective but there may be a few individuals that might not understand and we’re going to have to put that behavior in check
Am puertorrican and is not that we haven't realized that we are black is that race is not a big issue like in the US actually African heritage is stronger in the carribean, our music,dances, food and vocabulary has a huge influence from Africa you guys are very welcome to have an amazing experience at Loiza aldea and see for yourself.
I heard so many great things about Loiza and how beautiful and rich the African culture is there, I heard many great artists like tego Calderon and daddy yankee always talked about Loiza and would give back. I always knew I had roots all over the world especially Caribbean, South America, and the south. I have roots in pr and dr although I’m from the states but did a dna test and found out my ancestors were in pr since the 1600s and left in the 1900s to New York. They lived in San Juan, mayaguez, and ponce. In dr they are from Santo Domingo but are still there, I heard Santo Domingo has a historic African culture as well would love to learn more
Puerto Rico is more European tho.
Theirs no such thing as afro latino history can't be told by someone who's not from that culture
I think in the US the "race" are more "categorized", they made a label on you, it's different in center and south America...In Brazil for example they are now all "mixed" you can find a black with blue eyes or a white with afro hair because for culture they see himself as Brasilian and being black/white/Hispanic/Asian is not even a thing...Or at least it's what I see😄
@nerd8968
Wellington, as a Brasília I can tell you it is not as you think. Actually, there are mexed people in Brazil and most of them is called "pardo", which is a mix of black and white or descendants of these two ethinies and they represent 45% of the population acc. to the last survey. 43% of the population is white and 8% is black. But this does not mean there is no segregation.
Most pardo and Black are concentrarem in Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and in the states of the northeast and north.
So, not all is mixed and not everybody is well accepted by each other, although this what the media tries to make foreigners believe.
The truth is hard, but it has to be said.
@@nelsonl.defaria8357 I understand. But maybe it's now a "class" thing rather then a "race" thing? I don't know...Sure white are historical richier than blacks/indigenous so they tend to keep power/money. Let me tell you, all around the world now it's all about money and status, that makes the real difference, sadly.
@@nerd8968, it's always been like that. We don't see discrimination against black People who are movie stars, basketball or soccer stars, only to name a few.
As I use to say, there is no racism, there is discrimination against ugly and/or poor people.
Well said,it’s the exact same thing in the Caribbean. We don’t see ourselves as black,white,purple,blue orange,we see country! Jamaican,Bahamian,Bajan,that’s what we see.
It’s like in the Caribbean,we don’t see color we see country. We don’t identify as black white blue purple or whatever color,We identify ourselves as either Bahamian,Jamaican,Bajan etc..We are one people!
Yep
Brazil is hard to understand from american or european perspective by a simple FACT: your countries DID NOT MIXED !! When you blend blue and yellow , you get green. Places with no green also tries to "classify" green as light blue or dark yellow, but it's DIFFERENT . ANOTHER stuff. Plain like that.
Americans nevers gonna understand that ...In the US everthing is White or Black ..and that it ...Mix people are really discriminate in the US ...And thats the same reason they dont Undersand Dominican Republic neither cuz we are really mix ...not just black or white...Other thing that they dont understand is that we dont need to put our race on top of everything like in the US ..we say our country and that it
Bingo!
Yeah,they dont get it,the same in the Caribbean,we dont have minorities,we are all blended.We dont believe in supremacy shits.Its just the way it is,and its awesome
Los europeos del sur si se mezclaron, los brasileños blancos son de origen portugués y los españoles en el resto de Latinoamérica.
@@Knariow I'm from Brazil ( latin America) and descend DIRECTLY from Italians... I think that just from the bat , destroys your "theory"... ( By the way , Brazil has HUGE Descendents from Deutschland, Poland, Ucraine, Japan, Syria, Holland, etc...
Hello, in Colombi there is no racial segregation and whoever demonstrates some of this behavior is the true segregated person. What happened is that the slaves who arrived on the Colombian coast escaped and entered the jungles which share much of the biodiversity of the equatorial line that they cross. equal to the African continent and that is why they felt safer in these areas where the Spaniards and Europeans were easy prey to the difficult environmental environment and that is why they did not try to access these places. In Colombia there is a racial mix that coexists without problem, several of Our main cities have a black population and our indigenous culture was nourished by the emotional richness of the black people, resulting in all that variety of rhythms and customs that our nation will say, because these jungle and mountain places are so difficult, it has been difficult to find them. development, public works etc and its condition is very behind the development of other areas, on the other hand these areas were considered sacred for the native indigenous and the black man had to learn this from the local inhabitants and lived with these rules for centuries, today A different development is carried out since for the Colombian "natural Places" these areas are natural reserves recognized by international organizations as natural heritage sites of humanity, so today we work based on tourism and not on the exploitation of these areas, our situation of polítical violencia stopped this for decades and only until the last 15 years have these places begun to update in relation to the rest of the country, of course a large part of the territory is of Spanish descent but this is not entirely true since the majority of sailors arrived in Latin America They were of Middle Eastern origin who emigrated during the conquests of the East to the Mediterranean such as Spain and Portugal, so we have an even more complex mix but this has made us a truly special place....
La esclavitud fue abolida en 1512, con el Sermon de Montesinos.
Busca "El Assiento".. el tratado que permitia Inglaterra meter esclavos negros en america española.
I do not think that in Latin America racism is a thing.Sure there are some stigma related to race but not heatred treatment or anything like that.We are all blended up
Santiago de Cuba is the blackest province in Cuba, while the state of Bahia is the blackest state in Brazil, it really depends on where the slave trade was commonly settled which is usually the coastline.
As a brazilian, i feel like you would like the yarbros vídeo called “salvador, africa’s root in brazil” that they did while travelling there. I feel like, being from new Orleans, you would enjoy seeing both the similarities and differences between these places; plus they interview a lot of brazilians- both scholars and the average population- about their history and views. It’s also good to understand just how much african roots are immersed in the brazilian culture.
Tudo 3’s BAHIA!!!🤙🏽🤟🏽🥉1️⃣5️⃣3️⃣3️⃣🇮🇱🇨🇴
I had no idea the us had maroon communities. This is an amazing react video. I’ve learned a lot as a Latino of mixed background.
I’m white, by all standards, but my momma is brown, my sister is brown and my grandpa is black (of Jamaican ancestry).
I feel connected to a part of my ancestors though I may not look like them lol and I love that I’ve learned a lot about my background. Thanks to yalls video and the video you reacted to
Latinos are not white or black, we are Latinos. We are Colombian, we are Mexican, we are Costa Rican, we are Brazilian, etc.
I am black AND Latino. Cuban and Dominican. One does not negate the other. Colonialism would love us to deny our ancestry.
21: 32 -The reason why the USA is always compared to is because you always watch videos made by US citizens. If you watch videos from french youtubers they will compare France to the rest of the world, if it is a german youtuber the comparison will be between Germany and the rest of the world etc, etc. Unless of course they do videos specifically comparing their country to USA.
I was referencing the general comparison of this topic not videos we react to. The videos we react to are not always made by US citizens.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT yes I understood that ! What I meant is if that happens is because wether the person making the video is from the USA or the comparison is made specifically to the USA.
I can't talk too much about this topic because I don't have enough knowledge but for what I know the USA is the only country that define their People by "race" (personnally I think we're all human race). In all the other countries in America People are defined by nationality.
All the Brasilians I met just see themselves as Brasilians, their skin color is just a detail. And as he said in the video the Brasilian culture has deep roots in Africa !
It’s bigger than skin color,beloved!!

Hugo Chavez was mixed from Indigenous, Spanish and African
@@alifc1082 Latino is a culture, not a race
@@alifc1082 Latino is being from south/latin america place and culture honey, even lightskin people here are latinos, latinos are people that are from latin america colonized by european latin speakers. Europeans are latin, not latiNOS/latiNAS, since latin is a reference for the languages, and latinos is a culture/latin america
We Europeans of Latin language and culture are also "latinos", that is, Latins in English ("latino/a" and "latini/e" in Italian)... it's just the same term but in Spanish and Portuguese, therefore used by the Spanish and Portuguese themselves, that is, Latin Europeans (yes, exist the conglomerate of Latin Europe).
In addition to the fact that it's a thousand-year-old terms and that it already existed in the classical Latin spoken by the ancient Romans, therefore. You are just uninformed in America and make confusion with terminologies of Latinity, not understanding that they are the same terms, but in different languages.
On the other hand, our languages and therefore our terms that we have been using for centuries haha
Greetings from Italy, and: VIVAT LATINORVM
@@ianmarchese402 Italians are not Latinos 😂
@@jgeez8829 HAHAHA
In reality, Latin Americans would not be, but today they are too because they have been Latinized.
And yes, we are Latins, the first Latins in the world... the Latin language and culture originated in Italy, exactly like this same alphabet that we use to communicate and which is called the Latin alphabet (alfabeto latino, in italiano).
Do you think this alphabet originated in America, then, since we aren't Latins?!
If I spoke to you in LATINO you wouldn't even understand...
I repeat: HAHAHA
I have the unique perspective of being from both Black American and Afro-Cuban ancestry. It’s a difficult concept for most black Americans to understand because in the states the ONE drop rule was the standard way of deciding who was black or not. In the Carribean/Afro-latin diaspora it became an issue of DEGREES of blackness since the society is so mixed. The only Latin-carribean country to not have its “I’m black and I’m proud” moment is DR. Cuba celebrated its Africanismo lineage alongside Americas own movement. The heart of both Cuba and Brazil are black. I feel like generations before me were pressured by racism and colorism to not fully identify as black. But you see this changing. Celia Cruz always exclaimed “AZUCARRR” (sugar) when she performed. It was a catch phrase of hers and it was her way of acknowledging that she was directly descended from enslaved Africans who were forced to work sugarcane plantations. If you want to get a true idea of how much black/African identity is in the culture, listen to the music… study the folklore/religion (Candomble in Brazil, Santeria/Ifa in Cuba, 21 Divisions in DR and Haiti).
Take this for a history lesson. When Ricky Ricardo sang BABALU on I Love Lucy to white audiences it was a direct reference and clue to his identity and reverence for one of the most popular dietiea brought over from YorubaLand. BABALU-Aye. Who is celebrated synchronized with San Lazaro.
I’ve always said that black Americans and Afro-Latinos are separated cousins.
Hola amigos , soy de chile (latino america) ...aca también hay mezclas de descendientes africanos ,especialmente en el norte (arica y iquique)... incluso en el sur de chile existen mezclas descendiente africanos y mapuches y españoles .... saludos a todos , que dios los bendiga 🙌
Hello I am indigenous, black, spaniard, all at the same time, born in Colombia, I look super latinamerican, by all means I have kind of indigenous features, black hair, slit eyes, wavy hair, there are black people in my ascendancy, my dad is white and I have spanish last names xD
So yes, like many others here, I am product of a bunch of mixing, so definetely there is no black or white here (or not so much) :D
Afri brazilian and afro cuban are my fvorite groups of afro latinos
In Jamaica there is no filling out of a racial description on ANYTHING
True Latinos 🇮🇹🇵🇹🇪🇸🇫🇷🇷🇴🇲🇩🌹
Carlos: That's right brother, the original territories that spoke Latin and belonged to the Roman Empire. In America that never ever happened, you just talked about 🇪🇸🇵🇹🇫🇷 🫶🏼. Real Latinos never sapooo 🇮🇹🇵🇹🇪🇸🇫🇷🇷🇴🌹
Those are european latinos we are latino americans just like the anglo european are from britan islands and the anglo americans are there decendents , the only original latins was the romans
@@carlossalazar8904 nope he is right we are not latinoamericans. We are HISPANOAMERICANOS or AMERICANOS. There 32 countries we are different.
Racism is everywhere but good people are also everywhere, I’m from Ecuador and we don’t have the term in Spanish for African Ecuadorian, you are just a proud Ecuadorian! Our fútbol players ⚽️ 80% are black, And up to 10 or 15% population is black! Ecuador is only black and indigenous and Spanish heritage! Then because of the world wars and migration we have minorities from Middle East and Asia!
My family picked on me for being the darkest on my family! I was always the black sheep 🤦🏽♀️
Ecuador has less than a million Africans and the blacks maintain their culture. There are not many mulattos in Ecuador because of racism. Besides the indigenous in our country actually outnumber the mestizos.
I’m “white” asf and I’m 10% African DNA according to 23 and me
and yet we brazilians suffer with racism when we travvel across the latin america.
Not as bad as Venezuelans get it
We never had seggregation, except in my country the part that belonged to US, the Panama Canal Zone, now belong to us. You would.go from Panama City no seggregation to the Canal Zone seggregatuon until the 60s.
I'm from Chile. You can say that Chile has almost zero number of African descendants. Now we have a lot of Venezuelan, Haitian, and Colombian immigrants, but we are not an African descent country. Chile is a mixture of Spanish, Jewish, French, Jewish, Irish, Quechua, Mapuche and other original peoples. In my case, I'm a mixture of French, German, Spanish and (I think), Portuguese; I'm not sure if I have some Mapuche or original people in my genes.
Chile, ama keep my comments to myself when it come to the subject about Latin America and African lineage. Don't want this channel flagged chile.
😬 Thanks, Lisa.
Most of the latin music were invented by afro latinos
Some of the things on the video your using has reference are not accurate.
To be this of not knowing that ur black depends in the country, government or how you had been raced, in my case I M puertorican but I know I am black
Haiti
Martinique
Guadeloupe
French Guyana
Are latino too they all speak French and creole
Your delusional.
French is often excluded and I can't blame them.
Racist still going on in Latin America as of today. Not only with African Latinos but also with Natives.
It’s called colorism cause the people doing it have also large portions of African and native dna
It all depends… all are different.
Here in Dominican Republic its the same, Race its not an issue, we are all mixed from my mother side i have blond aunts, white uncles and mixed uncles. My monther next to her white sister looks mixed but next to her mixed brother she looks white. We are alll Dominicans and race roots do not matter.
I’m Dominican too and race may not be an issue in the island, but it certainly was. Trujillo himself Literally institutionalize racism and colorism. It’s in the very fabric of the country and you see it if you peel back the layers.
Because you are mixed you may not experience the same racism and colorism that a person who is black. My mother is very light and had a different experience socially than her sister who is my complexion. Look at what Sammy Sosa has done to himself. That’s evident of so much deep rooted anti blackness that also exists within our culture.’
Mexico was the first country to abolished slavery like myself I'm indigenous mostly then Spanish and African roots to from Ghana
wrong. William the conqueror banned slavery in England in 1000's, by the 12th century, there was little to no slavery in England whereas Mexico only abolished it in 1829
@Bugaloo in the America's I'm speaking about. My Mexican people had already been thru slavery from the Spanish rule finally won our independence in 1821 we didn't won't that any more
@@losbrotherstires-wheelsthat was Haiti then the Dominican Republic
@@extint3407...🤔..what about "El Assiento" treaty? Have you seen it? Take a look
Dominicanos tienen 49% de acendencia africanos, 39 europeo, 14% indígena o tainos por igual Cuba y puerto rico...RD es idéntico a cabo verde de África
I'm the first to comment here.
The Afro-descendant communities of Latin America have their own identity, just like in the United States, they live the way you live, culturally, it is the same as in the United States.
What all this means is that WE ARE FAMILY BABYYYY ❤❤❤
In Latin America your Color is not as relevant as in the US
This is not true. Dictator Trujillo in DR for decades institutionalized racism and colorism . He lied on the census to Make the country appear whiter. Gave Europeans land and money to move there to whiten the country up. His mother was black, and he hated that part of himself. He wore makeup to appear lighter and had paintings done of himself with instructions to make him appear more white. One might say racism doesn’t exist in Latin America as it does here in the states, but colorism certainly does. This is my lived experience. I have uncles as dark as midnight that don’t acknowledge that any part of them is black, let alone originate in Africa. Any island or country that had a population that came from the trafficking of Africans and displacement of Taino/Arawak Indian populations experience this. ❤️
The Brazilian thing it’s kinda funny.
These who said they didn’t knew they was black are Pardo (mixed) people.
You don’t see Wesley Snipes skin tone people saying “Am I Black?”.
Brazil like any country in the world gonna make sure you know you’re black.
Like PELE
We as n.americans are not African American a African American is someone like Obama with a direct parent directly from Africa born in America that makes a African American we are Aboriginal native American we been in this country a thousand years before Christopher Columbus showed up they only brought 5% of Africans to North America do the math Christopher Columbus wrote in his journal the first people of America he met where of swarthy complexion which ment black back then then you ha black beard saying the same thing in his journal California is named after a black female native American named kalifa they didn't bring Africans to North America until 1619 and they only brought 5% of Africans to North America not all of us are African American do the math slavery ended in1865 do the math
I wish you well but I feel that your comment comes from the Same place of misinformation that a lot of black people In America have concerning their origins. Unlike in the Caribbean and Latin America so much of our unique, identifiable, integral links to Africa were stamped out by the Slave trade backed by Prostestant Christianity which made ANY outward expressions African language, religion, and culture punishable, they actually managed to convince us to be ashamed of what all people of the diaspora should be supremely proud of. There were a lot more people from Africa that ended up in the US. A large majority ended up in the US after first being brought to Cuba/Hispanola.
Black Americans should absolutely know the history of Black people in Latin America. It’s a shared experience and links us all together. Divided we fall.
