spanish speaking countries are no better, they'd rather claim the language and ancestry of who conquered them
One of my ex girl friend used to get mad because I called her black. she was puerto rican/ dominican....her mom looked native american with kinky hair like mine and her dad looked a member of debarge lol but a copper complexion like me....she'd say "im spanish."
Then I replied " newsflash, spanish is a language, latin is a language. You do realize the Caribbean and south american recieved 90 % of african slaves right?"
she said "no"
i replied " you are what americans call "african american" you just happen to speak spanish"
i.e. felix trinidad, joel casamayor, rigondeaux, etc......most people dont know less than a million africans even made it to mainland USA...most were sent further south.....people need to read more.
