      Well I had no idea you were a girl,but I should have known,not to many guys would use the word divine in their name.also you can disregard anything I’m saying.All I’m saying is they don’t have to split themselves,their latin period be they (black,white etc).Who’s calls them Afro-Cuban,I seriously doubt that’s what they call themselves.Also forgive,I misunderstood what you wrote about biggie.

      I’m curious, have you ever listen to any of his raps?Example(heartthrob never,black and ugly as ever).He never had a problem saying he was black,Jamaican or otherwise,why do you?So your cousin don’t consider themselves as just black,can you tell their mixed with something?Now the way you said(there latin mixed with black).That’s funny to me,it’s like your separating the to.The black people have been there since the beginning.Their ever bit as latin as anyone else down there.Now you call them afro-cubans,what happen to them just being cuban?From the way you said it,it like you see them just as black

    You have to understand what they mean only America puts a color stipulation other countries like Jamaica just say your Jamaican or your Trinidadian no black white etc
