I think this is her.

This article reminds me of another one we're both seen. I will start a thread on it.

[Caregrasy]

We AfAm's have subtily retained alot of our West African heritage in our worship, food, music, and the way we speak. But we are basically Afro-Saxons like you said, and don't realize how culturally similar we are to Euro Americans(especially White Southerners), than to other Afro-descendeds in the New World. BlackEGO and the Bass would argue otherwise, but it's the truth.

You're in Cali, me and the Bass are in the South! We still eat Soul-food, not that water down soul food which the blacks in cali, and up north eat, we eat real soul food which have many African influence, we still have grandparents who will put voodoo on an enemy. We still listen to blues, and Jazz which are all African influence. Take a trip to the coast of Georgia, we still have people who speak and African language, practice an African religion, and are more African culturally than any Afro-Hispanic.

I guess so. Blacks in every respective Hispanic countries talk with the same accent as everybody else. Blacks in America talk in Ebonics.

What does that tell you about assimilation?

You have owned yourself again! If black speaks Ebonics, it means blacks have not assimilated into American society, since white and black Americans both speak different.

Who was it that said blacks americans have no culture elements of Africa, egg on your face!

You be very confrontative nigga.

I said "I guess", that's mean I agree

What I wanted to say is that perceived "Black" populations in Latin America are very de-africanized

[wpFWNoIt]

I think this is her.

I wouldn't be surprised if she's just the kid of some boricuas born in the US instead of a Rican per se, that is, another american with identity crisis.

They aren't. Telemundo or whatever the fuck you get on cable in your slum doesn't represent Latin America. The last telenovela I watched was from Peru, and the mayor and the police chief on the show were both black. The main star was a pretty indigenous looking mestizo.

I never said there wasn't discrimination. There is. But still that doesn't change the fact that nationality is more important than race to the vast majority.

Do you remember the name?

On the contrary. Ebonics is just a slang of English, and English, as you may know, is the base of Anglosaxon culture.

For stating an obvious truth, you will now be targeted by our resident Afrocentric extremists. I don't know why they have a problem accepting this. You are correct, a white Southerner and an Afram are the closest culturally.

Ebonics, properly, is an offshoot of Dixie English, and it doesn't really resemble African linguistics. Black Americans spoke Africanized English maybe 150-200 years ago, but not anymore.

She definitely is. born and raised in the South Bronx. Nuyorican through and through. She's also a ultra-leftist.

[jacknates]

She's also a ultra-leftist.

That's it right there. Everyone in Puerto Rico thinks they're white -- except white leftards.

[espabamar]

I see. That's why. Commies have a very strange identification system

That makes sense. And, of course, communists aren't white... they are "red".

[gueremaisse]

I can tell you that my mother was born and raises in Bronx, Ny and she went to school with a entirely black and puero rican population. Never did she consider herself part of the black community nor did most puerto ricans. She even had several confrontations with african americans. To this day my mom's family claims no african heritage, only indian.

Not to be crass, but what do they say about your face's bottom half?

Is there anyone else in your mother's family who exhibits those, or any other "black", features?

Nice family. They look mixed but mostly Caucasian. None of them seem to have your facial structure, but mixed race families are quirky like that.

[Qnnoshxj]

They look like pretty typical Puerto Rican light mulattoes/quads. I don't see Indian features, frankly.

i never though i had a odd facial structure. Just big lips and stuff. But i think part of the reason I look the way I do is because of my fathers side. Like I appear more african influenced than I am due to a combination of phenotypes. IDK Funny thing is my brother loves to make fun of my lips but the jokes in him, hes gonna have the same big lips in a few years, I can tell.
