Italians are not Latinos!!! Just because european languages and spanish comes from Latin, does not make them Latinos!!
All I know is that the ‘white man’ that built the American empire, will also be responsible for its demise.
In this country race issues r really business black are always portrayed as sexual object ; men is just a breeder I thinks the history is repeating
It is very sad. Vanessa doesn’t care about Koby a d her children but the money the kid just need their parents at home
People mexicans are mostly of white and native american decent. Yes I know there was slavery in mexico but blacks are a small minority. The Spanish way of conquering was to mix with the natives and assimilate them into their culture. Also about Eva Longoria she is from Texas a slave state.
I was reading the “History of Disease”. The Spanish killed 90some % of the native population. Mostly they sent small pox to them. the Natives thought the Spanish were gods because they didn’t get the Small Pox because they had built up an immunity to the disease in Europe.
As an ,aside those of you who don’t get your kids vacinnated,you should read this book. My daughter took her 9 yo child to the Dr and got all her vacnactions as soon as we ewere done reading it.
SPANISH ARE SPANISH BLACK IS BLACK WHITE IS WHITE
BRAZILIAN IS BRAZILIAN ect. These are people of color. 3/4 of the world is people of color. Not that that makes anyone any better than another race. The only race is the human race. If a person is black that makes him evil or ugly or less attractive? You cant look at somone and assume what they are. People assume that when they see someone wiht light skin they are white. In south african the skin is light in color not all but enough. They are african, but if the skin is black you will call them african like its distasteful. Check yourself before your racist sicknes spreads to your children. Remember Adam and Eve people of color from where???????
Stop sterotyping people! Africa has a huge variety of people. No ones knows the origin of all of their forefathers. Why can’t people remember that one GOD made us all. Are we saying that he did something bad by creating variety? We are all just humans. GOD does not care about who your parents or their parents were. But he does not like people who hate others because of a false superiority attitude. Get real cause we all bleed red blood!
