Charles Darwin was born in 1809. The formulation of modern day concepts around race theory started to metastasize 200 years before him during the expansion to the Americas. You’re 200 years late.

Please provide sources on concepts of blackness being around for thousands of years and the modern concept of blackness as racial inferiority. Numerous accounts by African immigrants talk about having to come to terms with blackness as an identity being thrust upon them when their identities back on the continent historically coalesced around tribal identity. What people espoused notions of blackness as an identity or racial group for the past thousands of years?
:whew:

I used Darwin to show that racism was a debate in Europe a place that didn't have slavery. American slave owners didn't originate the idea. People have always noticed that they looked different from other peoples and that they shared similarities with others

for example Arabs called parts of Africa land of the blacks
Sudan (region) - Wikipedia

You have multiple historical writings from Greek historians who referred to Africans as Ethiopians which means black
You have multiple christian writings that refer to black people as Abyssinian or Ethiopians

The ancient Egyptians depicted themselves and Nubians the same color and drew Greeks as white

The concept of race inst new. The negative connotation of inferiority is what is new

I really dont wanna have a debt on this because thinking that americans slavers created race isnt true

It depends on the type of mulatto and how they self identify. But as far as government census wise? No there's a whole category for them. B for Blanco (White) N for Negro (Black) M for Mulatto/Mestizo (Mixed)


Is it fair to say socially they a level above Cuban blacks?

Afram Identity: The "black" concept; the one-drop rule and it's influence/connection to the Pan-African, agenda

1st, contrary to popular belief: WHITE americans didn't invent one-droppism. It wasn't even a law by white people until the 1910's





It was created by Northern USA, Aframs. The modern Afram identity which is based on the "Black" concept and influenced by one-droppism; originated with free blacks in places like New York, Philadelphia, Boston etc...in the 1800s

basically;free people of color which usually described light skinned people;negro which meant darker/unmixed blacks, would became: colored american (this would later become afro-american and/or black), to encompass all shades/mixes of afro-descendants


this exact process played out when Frederick Douglas who was from the South, went North and encountered; "Black Yankees"

Race as it relates to economics over there is a completely different ball game bruh. Everybody is incredibly poor except for a select few who either scamming or belong to the communist party in some capacity. And the majority of the generals and Cubas number 2 man the Vice presi are all Black Black. Are there after effects of slavery and colonialism? Sure. But 60 years of a centrally planned economy plus American embargo along with the socialist views of egalitarian equality has made shyt complicated to say the least. But yea when they want tourist dollars at hotels they usually trot out the pretty light skins so the Canadians/Euros feel more 'welcome'

:unimpressed: mira que ustedes comen pinga en este website con el juelz ni juelz, juelz le voy a meter a tu hermana

I've dealt with your kind and fairly often. Black only when it's convenient. Convenient meaning claim some part of black American culture or take credit for some of the rare times black people get accolades. No we're not the same Cuba's of all colors are Cubans and they are not black Americans. One thing's for sure there's definitely no camaraderie or Brotherhood whatsoever.

What about this quote you made in the Gina Rodriguez thread

What about for island-born Puerto Ricans? What about for 9 New York Puerto Ricans? The thing is I know a whole lot of both I'm a born Puerto Ricans and nuyoricans. I'd argue that nuyoricans are ever-so-slightly blacker then Island Puerto Ricans. And I think you know how Island born Puerto Ricans get down.
