I'm confused on what YumYum saying
| How so? |
Are saying that black latinos are black or no?
| I'm saying there's no such thing as Black latins. There are Black people, their are latin people and their are people that are mixed with black and latin. Dark Complexion doesnt necessarily make you black is what I'm saying. Primarily African decent makes you black, IMO When a white and a black mix, they dont make black whites do they? So again i ask, Is there a difference between being Black and being African American?

Are we in English class or on a forum? If I knew my grammar was being graded, I would have been more cautious with my choice of wording. Was my punctuation okay?

Saying there's not such thing as black latin people is like saying there's no such thing as black Americans. So basically you're saying that everyone is either African, European or Asian right?

Nobody was correcting your grammar, but if you dont see how saying blackness is determined by lineage then in the next breath saying black latinos arent black is dumb, I cant help you boo.

Maybe its her background. She looks African. A lot of African cultures don't consider biracial people to be black like we do in the States. It might not be a hatred towards biracial people. Then again I'm not really familiar with Kola.

No hard feelings on my part, but it is what it is. I dont want no (any) trouble, and i know your a bhm debating OG, but I'm not for all that "dumb", "pm stalker" ish just because I dont agree with popular opinion. Yes, i did say that IN MY OPINION, blackness was determined by lineage. Lineage as in ancestry, ie primarily of african decent. Now since we playing word games, I will attempt to state MY OPINION as coherently as possible. I dont think i said black latins aren't black. Please quote or correct me if I'm wrong. However, what I should have said was this: IMO black latin is a culture. When i refernce someones blackness I'm specifically referring to their race. Where you live does not determine your race IMO. Does this make more sense?
