1. NOT ALL PUERTO RICANS ARE BLACK.
There is a difference between being Latino, Hispanic, Spanish, and Black. African heritage is absolutely a major part of Latin American history and culture. But being Latino does NOT automatically mean you have African ancestry & being Hispanic damn sure doesn’t. Puerto Rico is no different. There are Black Puerto Ricans, white Puerto Ricans, mixed Puerto Ricans & yes, racist Puerto Ricans. That’s reality. Stop flattening an entire people into one racial identity just because they speak Spanish.
2. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS YA LETTING WHITE-PASSING FAT JOE TELL YOU HE’S BLACKER THAN YOU. With all due respect, WHERE THE F**K WERE YA NUTS IN THAT ROOM?
Watching a room full of Black men sit there and let Fat Joe essentially tell them he’s “blacker” than them was fu***ng disgusting. Let’s be very clear: Fat Joe is white passing. Idgaf how many classic records he made. If Fat Joe wasn’t famous, he would NOT walk through the world receiving the same racial treatment as the Black men sitting across from him. That distinction matters.
Nobody had to disrespect Joe. But somebody should’ve looked him dead in his face and said:
“you can identify with Black culture without telling Black men you’re Blacker than them.”
That should’ve been the end of it.
And hearing Ice & Ish try to rationalize that s**t afterward? LAME ASF!
There was nothing nuanced about letting somebody who is visibly white passing diminish the Blackness of the Black men sitting in the room. Ya looked sweet as hell & showed anyone can sit on that couch and play in ya face !
