Saint Jhn talks racism in Puerto Rico on Angela Yee show

[#BOTHSIDES]

Low key when I see these white/off white Latinos talking all that free PR/DR/CU/MX/XYZ pride or whatever, I'm always kinda like, I get where you're coming from but why never address the racism going on, if they're on this Latino power/pride settings


Seeing how huge Bad Bunny has gotten and what he's doing for the island is amazing. But if he was a dark black man with strong African features, this would be a no brainer.


It's funny how the natives north of Mexico are legit light skin but the further south you go the darker they get. Idk who these white skin imposters are trying to fool

They’re Spanish descendants… vs the natives, indigenous. The indigenous Mexicans are usually the short stocky ones.

Yep they’re actually heavily discriminated against and they are usually portrayed as criminals on tv while the white ones are the stars…same with politics. Majority seems like like they’re mostly non indigenous… and Spanish (Spain) ties

 

[TEH]

Note to everyone who didn’t know … racism is global.

 

[TRUEST]

At some point the complaint gotta stop. Action. Action. Action. Do something

Never liked that place, didn't like going there out of all the "vacation" spots in the Caribbean. You can feel it in the air. I felt it as soon as I landed.

This is facts …… never like going out to spica Rico ….

Im a dark skin cat and i did notice some subtle at times. I sat down at the bar at a restaurant and none of the staff even looked at me. I gave them a pass at 1st because maybe they were busy but after a while I had to flag one down. Damn sure didn't get a tip from me.

No normal person would expect an island of black and mixed people to be anti-black, it's so strange especially when you hear about it for the first time.

But the entirety of Latin America is mentally colonized. They worship whiteness and hate anything related to black and indigenous people. Most Latinos who are mixed with black do anything possible to hide it. They straighten their hair, use lighter colored makeup foundation, and wear colored contact lenses.

But you can tell when a curly haired person straightens their hair, it's "straight" but the texture is heavier and different. Plus it's frizzy after they sweat a bit.

Irony is their music and dance is from Africa and still mostly African rhythms(Congo and Angola mostly). Even their dances. It all came from Africa(Congo, Angola) and the black people who are in those latin countries. My friend from Angola doesn't hesitate to remind them when we at a latin event and they start acting arrogant. He straight up says you're here playing our music and dancing our dances, and you want to act like this event is for you. It's OUR stuff.

Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, T&T

Basically all the other non Spanish speaking islands are infinitely less racist than PR

Gotta understand, these people shyt on their own children and grandchildren for being a little dark. They call their own progeny slurs and then they go along with their lighter skin spouses racism. The shyt they do to you they do to their own children.

 

[rabbid]

not tryna diminish what he's saying as it was very well put... but you can go to any random city in Alabama and experience the same shyt. so if its small scale then you'd have to say US is just as racist at that point. which we already know.. so what really needed to be said? no one ever said puerto rico is a oasis of non racist people... you gotta try to carve out your own peace if you out there same as in America.

Bruh spoke on some real shyt
The massacre claimed the lives of an estimated 14,000 to 40,000 Haitian men, women, and children,[12] out of 60,517 "foreign" members of the black population in 1935[13] meaning one to three fifths of the Haitian population of the country or more may have been killed in the massacre. Dominican troops interrogated thousands of civilians demanding that each victim say the word "parsley" (perejil). If the accused could not pronounce the word to the interrogators' satisfaction, they were deemed to be Haitians and killed.

Parsley massacre - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Just like the Old Testament
Judges 12:5-6
5 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;

6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.

Got damn! I never knew this!

Shyt straight EVIL!

So you no one could see that this whole entire culture was racist against Black people when they were allowed into Hip Hop and other Black circles to later try claim them as their own???
No one saw that, or people are terrible judges of character???
