Why spanish people don't like Black americans (Part 3)...migrant caravans, conservative masochism, and the cult of gay "latino" bigotry...

To the readers of this Blog: Years ago, I watched one of John Lequizamo’s Broadway plays on HBO. And, if you’re not familiar with him, he’s the guy responsible for the Broadway productions of: “Mambo Mouth”, “Freak”, “Ghetto Klown”—and one more production I wasn’t surprised to find out he curated this year called, “latin History for Morons”.                           

Now, in one of his productions, I watched John make a reference to the religion “Santeria”. A second later, he accompanied his reference with a mock ritual where he invokes the spirit of “Shango”, one of Santeria’s most powerful energies. Mind you, he talked about this religion, and this energy, like it was exclusive to latinos and their culture. And for years, I believed that.

But, being a curious kind of fellow, I came to realize, after doing some research, that Santeria, and the spiritual entity Shango, were creations of the Yoruba tribe(s) of ancient Nigeria—and that’s Nigeria, Africa, y’all. Also, in the Yoruba’s language, Shango (or Sango), comes from the term “shan”, which means “to strike”. And that figures, ‘cause Shango is always portrayed as a muscular, hyper-masculine figure wielding a two-headed axe. And his axe is usually surrounded by lightning bolts and bursts of fire. He's also been called the “god of thunder” by his followers—so basically, this is a war deity/energy. 

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you that Shango was the inspiration for the Marvel comic book character, “Thor”—mind you, in Thor’s case, whitey just replaced Shango’s two-sided axe with a hammer (remember, they call Thor the god of “thunder”, well, that’s one mo’ thing they took from us). Additionally, the famously farcical TV sketch comedy show “In Living Color” (produced by the Wayans brothers), aired on the Fox network from April 15^th, 1990 to May 19^th, 1994. And coincidentally, John Leguizamo’s comedy-sketch show, “House of Buggin’”, aired a year later in January of 1995. Can someone say, “cultural appropriation”?

Now, in advance, I need to apologize, for portraying Shango in my post’s header, without an axe, or fire, or lightning. Although to me, this beautifully melanated brotha personifies the strength and spiritual power of Shago’s energies.

And let me say up front, that this post is gonna’ be more like a “vlog”, than a “blog”. Cause my editorial is gonna’ support what you’ll be seeing in this video, instead of the other way around. Meaning, I’m gonna’ let this clip do most of the talking, and I’ll give y’all some pointers of what to watch out for.

I just have 3 favors to ask, which has become the norm with this series, and they are: #1. Please don’t bother telling me that the proper term for spanish-speaking people in america is “latino”, ‘cause I already know that. Unfortunately, the people who tell me this, usually don’t know how latinos checked the “white” box on their census forms, so whitey started calling them “hispanics” in the 70’s, so they couldn’t claim to be white. #2. Please don’t tell me that Spain is in europe, ‘cause I know that too (But I guess Don Trump forgot—and I’ll speak more on that later on in this post). And lastly, #3. Please don’t waste your time (or mine) telling me that the term “latino” represents a “culture”, not an ethnicity—I also know this. Problem is, they don’t. Meaning, I understand latinos are really Black, but they don’t claim us, so I’m not claimin’ them. 

Moreover, as a Black man or woman reading this, what you should understand is, anyone who calls themselves an “Afro-Latino”, is really saying they’re not Black. Either that, or they’re looking for an escape hatch for their “Blackness”. So, I say, let them have their illusions—but you can’t have our culture too. Cause the only times these people seem to wanna’ be Black, is when they exploit our cultural constructs. And that smacks of white feminism to me, insomuch as, latinos wanna’ be white around non-Black people, and Black when they’re rippin’ off our culture(s), just like white feminists wanna’ pass themselves off as an oppressed minority, while enjoying and luxuriating in their white privileges. And like a famous character said on “In Living Colour”: “Homie don’t play that”.

And if you’re a Black man or woman reading this, neither should you.

Now, as I’m writing this, I think back to yesterday when I watched internet footage of a latino migrant caravan, breaching the security fence separating Honduras from Mexico. Mind you, these migrants are heading through Mexico to america. And while people respect their dogged determination and audacious pursuits of a better life, I don’t think I have to remind you how Don Trump’s administration, has been deporting boatloads of these people who were already living here, out of the country.

And I too, am being conditioned by america’s media, to cry (like MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow did) when I see Julio and ‘em, being separated from their children and stuffed into trucks like sardines bound for deportation centers. 

But if you’re a Black man or woman reading this, stop reachin’ for the Kleenex for a hot sec’, ‘cause I gotta’ video to show you, that'll make you take pause, next time you wanna’ take up for one of their causes.

Now, like I said previously, what I’m gonna’ do is let these Goya-bean eatin’ bastards show and tell you on recorded video, how they really feel about us—mind you, I think it prudent for me to give you a bit of a primer on what you’re about to see. 

Recently, in New York City, 3 young, spanish men, got into an Uber cab, that a brotha was driving. And supposedly, these latinos wanted to hear some club music, which the cabbie refused to play. Thereafter, it looks like the 3 queer amigos, got upset about that, and probably threatened to do the driver bodily harm. That’s when the brotha pulled over and started recording what was going on. Mind you, I’d like everyone watching this to focus on 3 specific points—and they are…

Point#1. Now, one or two of you might think after watching the first few seconds of this, that I can’t definitively say these guys are latinos. Well, the person who first appears and talks on his cellphone, behind the driver, identifies himself as “Robert Ortiz”—and you’ll hear that in the video—and again, his 2 sugar-shoed comrades, are of the same complexion and facial composition.

Point#2. You’ll hear Rob “arroz con pollo” Ortiz, say that he feels “racially profiled” cause he and his friends are gay. And we should all understand, that homosexuality is a sexual orientation, not an ethnicity. Cause there’s no geographic locale that queers come from, since their sexuality is the product of an unresolved childhood trauma—that’s why they’re bending over for someone of the same gender. And Julio, I mean Rob, has the audacity to also say, that he feels racially profiled cause he’s “not Black”.

Point#3. Mr. (or Ms.) Ortiz, openly brags about voting for Donald Trump—you know, that same guy that’s deporting boatloads of his people outta’ the country. And this is what I call conservative masochism (a.k.a. “anglophilia”)—and the overwhelming majority of latinos suffer from it. Meaning, no matter how benevolent we act towards them, they’re always gonna’ side wit’ whitey. Even if it means, they or their loved ones, will have to leave this country, that they’re (literally) dying to get into.

Now, this probably won’t be my best written post, cause I’m writing angry—but the sentiment I’ll try to convey as eloquently as I can is this...

THERE IS NO BLACK-BROWN ALLIANCE—AND THERE NEVER WILL BE!

PERIOD!

And for all the “multiculturalist” negroes out there, who wanna’ hold hands wit’ everyone else but your own kind and sing “kumbaya”, this video should tell you one thing very clearly—and that’s this…

THESE sPANISH PEOPLE DON’T LIKE YA’ BLACK ASS!

GET OVER IT!!

And like I always say at the end of one o’ these posts…WE’RE ALL WE GOT, AND WE’RE ALL WE NEED PEOPLE! AND THE SOONER WE ACCEPT THIS, THE BETTER!

And like Sam L. Jackson said in Spike Lee’s movie, “Do the Right Thing”: “That’s the double truth, Ruth.”

Later…

And one last thing fam, kudos to this brotha for keeping his cool under this kind of pressure—he’s gonna’ go far in life.

The gospel of white fascism (Part 30)...What do Love and Hip-Hop's "Amara La Negra" and Marvel's "Black Panther" movie have in common?

Dana Danelys De Los Santos, a.k.a. Amara La Negra, was born on October 4^th, 1990 in Miami, Florida. Her Dominican parents separated when she was a child, and Amara was raised by a single mother who purportedly worked 3 to 5 jobs at a time, to make ends meet.

Amara grew up near the Miami offices of “Univision”, which is america's largest “spanish-speaking” TV network, and being that Amara had an innate fondness for performing, her mother enrolled her in several dance, modeling and acting classes. As a result, Amara pretty much grew up in the entertainment industry.

And her resume reads like this: at age 4, Amara won the title of “Miss Chicquita”, and from ages 4 to 10, Amara appeared on the TV show, “Sabado Gigante” in the 90's. The Sabado Gigante gig, helped her win back-up dancer spots with artists like: Celia Cruz and Gloria Estefan, and at age 19, she won third place in the “Diva Latina” competition. In 2010 and 2011, she appeared in telenovellas for the “Telemundo” TV network and performed “product presentations” for “Mega TV”.

Now, as of late, Amara's become not only a singing sensation in latin america, but she's a star of the hit TV series, “Love and Hip-Hop”. The latest installment of which takes place in Amara's hometown of Miami. And in the show's latest episodes, she's shown a determination to put “Afro-latinas” on the map of the music industry—and the world.

*Note: In the 1970's, the term “Hispanic” was created by the american government cause “Census Bureau” administrators, found that “latino-americans” were checking the “white” or “caucasian” boxes, when they identified themselves. And I'll tell you why this is crucially important to Amara's story later on in this post.

Marvel Studios movie, “Black Panther”, has a release date of February 16^th, 2018 (Black History Month). And Ryan Coogler, who's a brotha, not only directed this film, but wrote it's screenplay as well. Now, I think everyone reading this realizes that Chadwick Bosworth is playing the lead role, and knows this movie is bringing out all the heavy-hitters, as far as dramatic acting is concerned. You have Angela Bassett playing “Ramonda”, who's not only T'Challa's mother, but the “Queen Mother” of Wakanda. There's also Forest Whitaker playing, “Zuri”, who's an elder-statesmen of Wakanda. You have Michael B. Jordan as “Killmonger”, Lupita N'yongo as “Nakia”, who's an international Wakandan spy, etc. And the movie's estimated budget is somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 to 200 million dollars. So Marvel's pulling out all the stops on this one.

And this movie's basically about T'Challa going back to Wakanda after his father (T'Chaka) is killed, to defend his homeland against foes (Killmonger, Klaue), who are plotting it's takeover—and to prevent a world war.

Now, I want you to take note of how this film's narrative (Cinematic Symbolism) has direct roots to white fascism. Whereas, the first initiative enacted by them, once we fell for the trick of integration, was to get Black men out of the home. Additionally, I'll always remember the 70's TV series “Good Times”, and the episode where “James Evans” died. Now, for decades I'd been told that John Amos left the show, due to artistic differences. Turns out, John was fired cause he didn't like the shows demeaning content. Again—take the Black man out of the home.

And after we bit the bait of integration, whitey gave Black women government benefits that would pay for their food, clothing and shelter, under one condition—(again) they couldn't have a man in the house. Now, at least half of Black women didn't take these benefits cause there was still a spirit of unity left in us. And this is the reason why in the “Reagan 80's”, we had the government-funded, three-headed monster of Reganomics, Crack and AIDS to contest with. Now, I've gone over that ad-nauseum, so I won't do it here. But eventually, I'll put out a tome dedicated to breaking these facets of the 80's, and what Black americans went through in that decade, all the way down. So stay tuned.

Moving on...

You should also take note of the fact that brotha Wesley Snipes was going to star in the film adaptation of Marvel's Black Panther in 1992. He was even in talks with Columbia pictures and Stan Lee to produce the film. Now, rumor has it that the film's script wasn't up to par—but what brotha Wesley probably didn't like was being in a flick with a Black male character named “Man-Ape” (Winston Duke, who plays “M'Baku” in Black Panther). Or playing alongside primitive-looking brothas with plates in their lips (above left). So instead, brotha Wesley starred in the movie, “Blade”. And not only was this movie a hit, but it helped him maintain his dignity while doing it. Kudos to brotha Wesley!

Now, you might be sayin', bruh—what's any of this gotta' do with Amara La Negra, or what she and the Black Panther movie have in common?

Here's the answer...

The most valuable social currency in america, or anywhere else on the globe, is “Black street cred”. PERIOD.

And that's exactly what Marvel studios and Amara “LA NEGRA”, which literally translates into Amara “the Black”, are trying to capitalize on.

Now, remember when I said in the 70's, the american government created the term “hispanic” cause so many of america's Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Colombians, etc. were identifying themselves as “white”? Well, let me give you another tid-bit about this regarding “latino” rappers.

The rapper “Fat Joe” was once interviewed about 90's era Hip-Hop and how brothas were wearing “African medallions” (left). In it, he said: “Well, I always wore my gold (jewelry), so I don't know what they were trippin' off.” Mind you, it was rap music and Hip-Hop culture—a culture created by Black americans, that made him rich.

So now in 2018, we see Amara “the Black” claiming that she's “unapologetically Afro-Latino” (and this term was blatantly taken from Dr. Umar Johnson who says he's “Unapologetically African”). So basically, not only do both Joe and Amara understand that Black people create the best genres of music, but they also know that Hip-Hop culture, trumps all others in it's popularity, especially with young people around the world.

In other words, Amara doesn't care about identifying herself as Black, she's just hustlin' our music and culture.

Also, the name Amara “the Black”, is directly insulting to our people—she's mocking us with that ridiculous surname.

Additionally, I'll never forget how a former latino friend of mine, once gave me a shirt that said, “Puerto Rico club” on it's back. And I remember passing a group of young latino men while wearing it. After seeing it, they got into a hot argument—and I remember this one latin guy repeating, “Nah, nah, he ain't Puerto Rican—he's Black.” Mind you, they did this in a way saying, he's not one of us, he's one of them. And trust me, 99.9% of latinos, feel the same way.

Now, with the Black Panther movie, the stakes are even higher. Cause first off, what's being sold to us in Black Panther is a culture of obsessing over comic books, video games and super-hero flicks. Meaning, what's being promoted, especially to young Black men, is why we should adopt the tenets of “negro nerdom”. And at the nucleus of this culture are traits that would have us subscribing to being effeminate and immature males—not MEN. And this absolutely fits with the zeitgeist of mainstreamed homosexuality. Which is what white fascists ultimately want us to adopt.

Bottom line of their agenda is to keep Black men, who have the most genetic power to breed them out of existence, from pro-creating.

Additionally, what Marvel wants is that cultural gold standard of “Black street cred”—cause it would cast a legitimately cool light on the whole of the Marvel universe.

So I've said all that to say this: as a Black person, don't be surprised if you go to Amara La Negra's concert and find out these dark-skinned latinos have a problem with you—a “pure-bred” Black man or woman. Cause like I've said so many times in the past, it seems like every non-Black person in america lives by the same motto, and that's this...

It's OK to love Black culture, but you should hate Black people.

Thus, non-Black folks in america have no problem dressing like us, dancing like us, singing like us, or talking like us, while tryin' to make us hate ourselves.

So remember fam—this credo, along wit' Amara's big “backside”, are the only things this “afro-wigged, pseudo-Black” latin woman, is ultimately out to sell.

Later...

P.S.

Here's Dr. John Henrik Clarke's classic lecture on why Black people, “have no friends” in other ethnic groups. Now, this vid is 35 minutes long, but just listen to the first 10. And once you do, I promise, you'll have no choice but to listen to the whole of Dr. Clarke's masterfully motivating, Black Nationalist dissertation.

THIS IS STRAIGHT FIRE Y'ALL!!
