I don't see how "Black" and "Latin" are two mutually exclusive concepts.

I just don't see why Black and Latin are conflicting identities.

I thought black was your skin color identification.
I thought Latin was your ethnic identification.

Why do people make it seem like you have to be one or the other?

Because they're ignorant. And ignorance is bliss

See: Ninjahood

doubt he doesn't know his basic colors
he lives in the hood where people have simple labels

edit: tried posting this 3 times, wth 

edit #2

he says "Dominicans, you're not Spanish", ok?

so we're Caribbean 

do you walk up to Jamaicans and say, YOU'RE BLACK, STOP SAYING YOU'RE JAMAICANS!

you guys are just pushing an agenda, upset that EVERY IMMIGRANT wants to be disassociated with African Americans

I don't appreciate you guys picking on us all the time like we're the only ones 

say it to Africans, that would never allow their children's children to call themselves African American

say it to Hatians, Costa Ricans, Puerto Ricans, Panamanians too.

would you like a lightskinned Dominican to call themselves black?

edit #3

and to be honest I always think of DR as a West Indian country considering Columbus discovered it at the same time

but you'll never see our flag at a West Indian parade 

he even goes to say, we look the same to white people,

I agree to a point

but we can't say the N word 

 because we don't understand the struggle 

you guys have an agenda you're willing to push and pull in any direction you'd like
