this sort of epic trend of people getting obsessed with east asian media like kdramas and anime, move to japan/korea to become an english teacher, pick up the first asian man they see walking the streets, and create the worst genre of youtube videos to plague the platform has gone on for literally. too long
Now Cyn Santana says she is “afro latina”, “black”…OK
I don’t blame her though, i blame you people that keep letting any racially ambiguous or multi racial latina girl claim that she’s black when it’s convenient.
Girls like her always other themselves or talk about themselves SEPARATE from black girls and they all say they like being in interracial relationships and dating black men… until they say some problematic shit, or someone starts pressing them about their race and ethnicity or they need to make money off of being seen as black… that is when they remember that they are afro latina 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Mschewwww
There is literally a whole video of Cardi, for example, saying that she likes being in interracial relationships with black men and several videos of her before she became famous when she “othered” herself and talk about herself separate from black girls… but all of a sudden, she’s black now because it’s convenient.
Cardi that said from her own mouth that her father is non black Dominican and her mother’s father is white Spanish, Caucasian…
I don’t blame them at all, you people let them do what they do.
Even Veronica Vega had the audacity to say that she was black after she made her ignorant comments about Amara’s afro… OK
Heck, even full white people can identify as black these days when it’s convenient… some don’t even need to do much to be seen as black; people thought Rita Ora was black for years.
It’s like every year, the pool for the images of black women that keep getting pushed on us gets wider and wider…anybody can be black at the snap of a finger, it’s free for all.
I wonder why the pool for the images of black men doesn’t expand as fast.
Is it because many industries can make tons of money off of the most racially ambiguous representation of “black women” they can find?
Is it because some black men want to date those racially ambiguous girls without feeling guilty for dating outside their race, so it’s easier to call those girls black and force everyone to call them black too?
Is it because some black women would rather see racial ambiguity as the definition of blackness to convince themselves that black girls can be beautiful and “exotic too”, do they not see that beauty in visibly black girls?
We will never know 🤷🏾♀️
Black ppl need to stop clinging on to that bullshit 1 drop rule.
This is also makes it harder for actual afro-latine’s voices to be heard from in the diaspora. I have plenty to say about afrolatinidad, I know where my family was enslaved, my culture, my afro religion, my history, but then you got these folks online who are clinging to blackness to avoid accountability and because being black is popping now. They didn’t have that same energy when Mike Brown was killed. When Tamir Rice was killed. It’s just so disrespectful. We have real issues going unheard, because people want to cling to mestize who got a great great black grandma, rather than afro-latine whose current living family is black. People prefer a Cardi B than a Joseline Hernandez. Joseline been making songs about her negritud, and she has connection to afroPR community. But somehow Cardi B’s ratchetness is a fun personality and Joseline is just gutter ghetto?? Foh.
There have been numerous occasions where white ppl called the cops on
black ppl thinking they were robbing their own houses, etc. Quite a few
ended in gunshots/murder. Yeah, the few in the headline ended well, but
the issue is literally deadly serious.
