Kola Boof on Soledad OBrien

Yumyum28 wrote: Okay, so I'm late and confused but, my understanding is that Soledad is half "afro-cuban" and half white. I dont think "afro-cubans" consider themselves black at all, first and foremost. As a matter of fact, most of the cubans, puerto ricans,mexicans, dominicans and whatever elses I know would be at least slightly insulted if mistaken for a negro. So was there a point where Soledad suggested that she was in-fact a black person? Or did she do some kinda show regarding being black? Cus when I googled her, Being Latin in America came up. Or is this more about Kola Boof hating on light skinned folks? Please fill me in somebody.

Ugh.. Her again?

Dark skinned Latin people..from what I understand, so her hair may be more "kinky" than a European's but they have "that good Peter Rican Hurrr" as my bestie would say.

I propose this question to all: Whats being "black"? It seems like being white is a clear and easily defined status, but any and everybody can be a black person if they so choose or if the have any semblance of so called African features?
