[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about Black Hispanics? Do they call themselves Spanish, Black, Hispanic, Latino, or country of origin? [/quote] Black Hispanics? Are you referring to those from African origins who live in Spanish speaking countries and speak the language? Aren't you crossing ethnicity?[/quote] No, not those who just "live" there, but Black people born and raised in those Spanish speaking countries who were the descendants of the slave trade, i.e. Black Africans shipped and sold to countries/islands such as Panama, Brazil, Dominican Republic and Cuba to harvest sugar cane and tobacco after all the native inhabitants died from the diseases of the white colonists and slave traders. These people, (like me and my family) call ourselves "Panamenian, or Dominican or Cuban, but most white people or African Americans call us "Black." [/quote]
