I argue with hispanic people who use that we're not black, we're hispanic to prove a point about the distinction between race and ethnicity. But I usually preface this by saying "you can consider yourself whatever you want". Race is a social construct, but hispanic blacks aren't any less black than a black man from Ethiopia. Hope that makes sense.

so then it's just skin color we're talking about? Cultural differences and skin color are really the only things that distinguish one human being from another. And I have a friend who is Panamanian, but he conciders himself black. I don't know what i mentioned that.

My dad lives in Philly and he is like this

. He has a a great job and does well for himself, but he always talks about the inner city black people with that "i'm better than them" tone. I dunno, sometimes he makes valid points but still

, I don't believe in consistently catergorizing people.

I also have a friend who is of Mexican descent, parents are from Mexico, he knows Spanish and he hates other Mexicans with a passion.  Always calling 'em "your people" when he's around me,

.

It is what it is.

wow.

 

[stay lurkin]

^^^ But he says that he goes to the "white" resturants, movie screens etc because black people act ignorant and *%%@ always pops off

.

He was like "raise the prices, and black people don't show up. That is why I go"

I'm like damn

u could argue hispanic isjust as made-up

since i didnt catch this on the first quote...

I wouldn't call hispanic a race either. hispanic means having a connection to spain. being hispanic is equivalent to being african. at the end of the day we're all black/african

yes, but the issue I'm dealing with this thread is hispanic blacks are alienating themselves from every other "black" ethnic group......essentially lumping all of them together. Even within the hispanic "ethnic group", there are very distinct cultures. There is a difference between Mexican culture and Dominican culture. Some Dominicans try to argue that they are a part of the "hispanic culture" as a cop out to alienate themselves from "Black culture".....completely downplaying how diverse "Black culture" is.

Skin color is not the only thing that distinguishes one human from another, there are subtle physical differences that have nothing to do with skin color that may distinguish to groups seemingly in the same "race". nationalism, tribalism etc are other divisions that may be based on physical characteristic (not necessarily skin color), customs, religious affiliation, dialect etc etc etc etc

   Claiming "hispanic" is the equivalent of Nigerians claiming "British-panic

" because they speak English. This would be like me saying I'm not in the same group as Cameroonians because they speak French. Granted the influence of whatever European nation colonized a nation is a part of the culture, it is just a fraction of it.

Cliffnotes if a Black Dominican isn't black, an African American isn't "black" either. There isn't something inherent in any other group of the black diaspora that makes them more black than Dominicans.
