Latino magazine mad over Empire ask: "Where are the Latinos?"

[jwonder]

There ain't much Cubana in calle 8. or in little havana anymore

I give you Calle Ocho, but Lil Havanna still looks Cuban to me. I just moved away from Miami two months ago.

i answered you already.

you did not give me a proper response, you tap danced around it; just like you're doing now. so lets try a 3rd time



do you agree with her comment, yes or no

 

[jwonder]

i don't understand how you can call someone like Kool Herc a "pioneer" of hip hop but pretend he's not west indian

@IllmaticDelta you dropped a couple west indians in your sources. also what can you tell me about the Ghetto Brothers in the Bronx? that were Puerto Rican

Bottom line is he got it from the Black American culture. So he probably was the first to get out there like that. shyt there were some Jamaicans I knew that I didn't even know they were till they brought me to their house and their parents speaking Patois. With the Curry Goat on the stove. That shyt is good btw.

it wasn't started solely by West Indians obviously but it was started by AA and West Indians and to a lesser extent Puerto Ricans if we are talking about the 5 elements

because Black Americans used to bully Jamaicans when they first came so alot of them either repressed their accents and tried to assimilate into Black American culture or learned to codeswitch

i need a yes or no answer, bruh. its not hard.

Many of hip hop's "founders" are West Indians. hence, no west indians, no hip hop as we know it. yall the ones arguing that west indian people weren't involved in hip hop

i answered you already.

Do you not see the inconsistency and contradiction in your post?

@marcuz @lotty @IllmaticDelta I know I'm not crazy. Yall see this?

No, she is wrong because that statement is not entirely true

Do you not see the inconsistency and contradiction in your post?

@marcuz @lotty @IllmaticDelta I know I'm not crazy. Yall see this?

without west indians there is no hip hop.

 

[How Sway?]

There's the GOAT Malcolm acknowledging Africans distancing themselves from Black Americans when they come here to look good for the white man. Yes, that is nothing new, they have been doing it since then. Exactly how are people who sat on the sidelines more "Black American" and have rights to police our One Drop Rule, than "Bi-Racials" who put their bodies on the line for black folks like Frederick Douglas, Malcolm X, and Booker T Washington?

That's the aspect a lot of y'all Narialand plants do not want to talk about on this board. @Poitier is the only one who keeps those types in their place on here. Now that we done put all the work in they want to reap the benefits, fukk outta here.

Man you got some awful reading comprehension

He playing mind games now that what he thought was hip hop history, isn't it.

 

[marcuz]

without west indians there is no hip hop.

this argument can go on for ever though. even cacs can come along and say without them, there is no hiphop

 

[BigMan]

are you insinuating that west indians are no different than cacs

 

[J-Nice]

No, she is wrong because that statement is not entirely true

I can believe the Tooth fairy is real, but it doesn't make it a fact

He playing mind games now that what he thought was hip hop history, isn't it.

All this knowledge being dropped and dude think he has claim to hiphop, an African American cultural creation. He must be out of his mind.

Girl, shut up. There are Brazilians who live in Brazil on this very site that will tell you that they are Latino.

Yes and anonymous poster an the Internet...the Coli of all places. And if we're going that route check out the comments on this link http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...n_3188606.html#conversation-3188606-249413178
I've spoken to an actual Brazilian woman who said "We are Brazilian not Latinos"
I allow people to self identify and if the majority don't like the label then I won't called them such.
You're probably the type of breh to get angry if someone identifies as West Indian rather than African-American.
