John Leguizamo highlights the untold contributions of Latinos to American History :mjpls:

Lol

I always thought the "Latin from Manhattan" was 100% 'Rican.

 

[King Poetic]

A lot of these entertainers don’t even do their own investigation into what they talk about and usually have their sidekicks or so called friend educators tell them false information

this nikka was colombian the whole time

Hispanics have as much connection to North America as Greeks have to Scotland. I wish y’all take a history course. Hundreds of years ago the dominant region was Central America. That was their Rome. You had the Mayans, Toltecs, Aztecs, all in that Central American region. They barely ventured into most of North America (though admittedly some CA tribes came up to Arizona, California and New Mexico). But the Deep South, Midwest, Mountain West, East Coast? It was all a cultural backwater to them. They barely interacted with the tribes in these places. A Lenape Indian had no clue what a Mayan was nor did they care. Acting like these people were all the same is dead ass like saying Sean Connery is the same as Al Pacino.

He said they weren't native Americans.

Centuries after Egypt's decline, multiple great kingdoms emerged across the continent including the kingdoms of Mali, Songhay, and Ghana in West Africa. So, I'd respectfully disagree with your take.

Leguzoma is doing half comedy routine here, but I guess the Latinx identity as he's saying it here incorporates a Pan Original Nation identity. In that regard, I don't see it being too different from Pan African identification.

Thats what he is doing and there is nothing wrong with it. These crybabies overreacting as usual to some factual errors. “Oh they are trying to steal our heritage”.

John trying to diminish the role of AAs in American history was a sucker move, and the lady corrected him at the end. She went off script to make the valid point.
I always agree with people standing up for themselves and correcting misrepresentations of history.

I brought up Blacks in diaspora identifying with regions we (probably) don't descend from because that's the obvious parallel to what JL is doing in his other comments. Diasporans respected the courage exhibited by the Mau Mau and strongly identified with Kenya during that period. Rastas saw the ordeals of Haille Selassie as the revelation of Scripture, and identify with him.

 

[RedCloakBlackWraithe]

He saw Camila Cabello’s “this country was built by dreamers” speech and decided to one up her.










These Latinos are getting bolder and bolder with their bullshyt.

bet he ticks off caaucasian latino in the census...

I agree and the lady was right to correct him. But the over reactions by the Tariq Nasheed and some in this thread is over the top as usual. Which is ironic because they claim black people are indigenous to America so they could be accused of "stealing" Native American culture.

But massive outrage is par for the course on the intenet.

 

[RedCloakBlackWraithe]

just call him trans-puertocolumbianX

 

[saturn7]

bet he ticks off caaucasian latino in the census...

Why wouldn't he?

I don't thinks there is a "Brown" option.

 

[RedCloakBlackWraithe]

but ask him back in the 90s bet he claim part black via his fake puertorican status...

There's a difference between people who know,understand,respect their culture....and those who only see value in it in for D measuring contests. There are members of both sets from every country or region on the forum.

I was suckered into one of those discussions, not knowing that a Haitian member was doing the D measuring thing. Will pm you the link to the thread so as not to derail this one.
But, when you read the thread it reinforces my point. Water and oil don't mix, so Bookset members did what we do, and Google & Giggle set did what they do

The D measurers don't respect themselves, or their heritage. Their reactions to their stances being debunked by facts/evidence in history discussions are proof of that.

 

[boriquaking]

Wow, almost like you’re mad.

i also love when Coli folks post fringe tweets with like, zero retweets or likes, strictly for clout. What a reach huh

 

[Cladyclad]

I’m glad I don’t care about this shyt
