Afro latino News



The issue of Racism towards Afro-Latinos has prolonged for years. This video just shows a small part of how racism effects those that are of African descent. you see the poverty that the Africans encounter in Ecuador and how even politically they are abused. The video is a news headline on a song that was played on the radio with racial slurs. Check it out, its pretty interesting, especially to see people that look like us but speak Spanish, deal with the same type of oppression and racism we once endured years ago. It's a shame it hasn't stopped. Many other Spanish speaking countries encounter the same thing. Places like Brazil,Peru,Puerto Rico, and many more all have become racially divided. This i believe is internalized racism left on those that were conquered by the Spaniards. People still continue to denounce each other when they need to work together to be better citizens and build better communities.
