like there Brothers and Sisters of the U.S,Afro-Cubans are Africans”blacks” that were brought from Africa and enslaved in cuba.African American/Afro-cubans,the same but different.Im an American and she’s cuban,but we are Black.She speaks Spanish because she adapted to it.Besides,you dont have to be a certain race to speak a certain language.Why do blacks in the U.S speak english? i think people just cant believe a black woman can be that beautyful.
