If you label latinos as literally anything at all, be it white, black, brown, or anything else, youre ignorant.

Latinos come in every race imaginable due to complex racial mixtures, each latino country different from the last. I personally myself am a Puerto Rican with a white Puerto Rican mother and a black Puerto Rican father. My friends joke about me looking hispanic but if they were to look at my parents, they wouldnt say the same thing.

Surprise surprise, Latino is not a race of people. Its more about the culture.

A latinos race should be decided at an individuals level, identifying as white, black, or mixed accordingly. But saying that just because they come from an island or Mexico means theyre black is ridiculous.

Look at Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, and Tito Trinidad and tell me that theyre all the same race. Theyre not, lol. But theyre all Puerto Rican.

Rashida Jones is black but looks white to most people. This line of thinking leads to us Puerto Ricans developing anti-blackness. Ricky Martin may look more white but who are you to decide what is in his DNA. He may still have a larger percentage of african lineage than JLo or Tito and outward appearance shouldn't be the only indicator. The fact remains that Puerto Ricans and other afro-latinos should accept the fact that being black is ingrained in our culture and that we are more than likely also descended from african slaves as well as indigenous people and spain. It's not about what you look like. It's about who you actually are.

I'm from Boston too.

I've never liked the Wahlberg family personally but I do get conflicted with cancel culture at times. People are way more "woke" and "informed" on these topics now so we should give people the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and become better people. However, some actions are just flat out unforgivable and I have a hard time deciding if his actions are or not.

She is wrong. There are Latinos that have black ancestry, typically closer to the Caribbean. There are also those that are Native and caucasian or Native and black. She put all Latinos under a single racial background. Most Mexicans for example don't have black ancestry and many in South America are pure caucasian.

You are complaining about white people telling Latinos what they are, but you are doing the same thing.

I didn't tell a single latino what they are. I only mentioned what I myself am. A mix of different people and I identify with all of them. Please point exactly where in my post that is implied.

She's not wrong.

It's always hilarious when white people try to tell us what we are.

I'm Puerto Rican.
I'm black.
I'm native american.
I'm white.

About 1400 people have killed themselves by jumping off the golden gate bridge. It's totally possible for methods of suicide to basically be contagious.

I believe it but these cases really seem...off. We'll see what further investigation brings.

This is an older article but the point that suicide by hanging is the most common by all races (male) still is true

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3553495/

The rates for whites, Asians, and Native Americans rose by 20%, 12%, and 10%, respectively, and rates among blacks decreased by 6%. The suicide rate increased most among those aged 4559 years (by 39%); in contrast, it dropped by 8% among the population aged 70 years. Suicide by hanging/suffocation increased by 52% for all ages combined

In 2018 suicide by firearm accounted for over 50% of suicides. Suffocation was 28%.

I'm starting to feel like I need to get a gun :V

I'm in the process of getting my license. My wife is mad at me but I'll do whatever I can to protect my family. We are both afro-latinos but my wife has a darker complexion and I feel this overwhelming sensation of needing protection for my family these days.

Note: I'm liberal but have never been anti-guns. I'm all for better gun control but I firmly believe in the right to bear arms.

Follow this line of thinking down: How is it that in several different cities, murderers are going completely undetected in public spaces without leaving traces of evidence?

"Well the police and detectives are lying!"

What exactly do these different detectives in different cities all have to gain by covering up evidence for a murder and not doing their job?

They immediately ruled them suicides in less than 24 hours of investigating. That doesn't sound right to me. And once again, cops have proved over the course of 3 weeks how incredibly corrupt and violent they are.

And it doesn't sound right to the FBI either which is why they are investigating. This isn't just some baseless theory. The FBI feels something could be off here as well and that's why they are involved.

They are based entirely on the thought that if a black person was going to kill themselves, none of them would ever do it by hanging in public. Ever. In a country with 330 million people.

6 people
in the past 2 weeks
in public spaces
from a tree
2 from CA
3 in Texas
1 in NY
states with horrible policing

I have a really hard time buying it.

Here's the problem:

1. The world is protesting systemic racism.
2. One form of that is police brutality and corruption against black people and other people of color.
3. In the past 3 weeks, the police have repeatedly proved us right over and over and over again.
4. And yet, we are taking the police evidence as "100% fact".

The vast majority of people do not trust the police system right now. That's why the FBI is investigating as well.

I really hope so.

"Suicide" by hanging yourself from a tree out in public seems extremely far fetched.

that's the part that really trips me out. Why in public? From a tree? If these are suicides, are they trying to send a sick message? That's what makes it difficult to believe.

Here are some suicide statistics

https://afsp.org/suicide-statistics/#:~:text=The%20age%2Dadjusted%20suicide%20rate,are%20132%20suicides%20per%20day.

https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/suicide.shtml

all of these suicides were by hanging and all were men. Over 50% of suicides are by firearm and black people are one of the least likely to commit suicide. Something just doesn't add up here.

And maybe these are suicides. Maybe black people are experiencing depression at record rates all of a sudden with what's going on in the world. Either way, it's all fucked up.

All by hanging and police have been immediately calling them all suicides so the FBI has stepped in to investigate. This is now the 6th one I believe. All people of color.

Party A during and after slavery: black people cant make it on their own, they are naturally handicapped and need our assistance just to keep their heads above water. They should be thankful we provide them with shelter and food

Party B before and after emancipation: black people should be free to succeed or fail based on their own merits and aptitude. They should be held to the same standards as everyone else and not given a condescending free pass

no there was no switch in ideology. Party A still thinks as it did and so does Party B.
