Re: Mexico Finally Recognized Its Black Citizens, But That’s Just The Beginning
I won't clutter up your thread any more. I agree it could be an interesting subject if you actually said anything about it, but I think it's more likely you mean to tie it to the immigration thread.

As this thread illustrates & how I stated earlier, racism isn't always black n' white...

I would add/modify this to say that as the TOPIC of this thread illustrates, we Black people seem to be most often on the receiving end, regardless of what race/culture the instigator is.

hispanics our european The problem arises because
The problem arises because people refer to
hispanics as "the 4th race" when in fact they are a hybrid of the three fundamental races.
But the point with language is that words mean what people mean by them and not a textbook or scientific definition. And in that sense, most people see enough commonality among enough hispanics for the word to have common currency.
So, they become a de facto race.
hispanic's have origin from spain
there are a mix with white,native american,african

White skin appeared just 20,000 to 50,000 years ago, as dark-skinned humans migrated to colder climes and lost much of their melanin pigment.

Race is an old concept that should probably be discarded. It was
created by people who had a very limited knowledge of their world. If you
look at any genetic map (mitochondrial or Y chromosome DNA), you can
see there is no biological basis for the idea of a white or black or asian
race.
Here's a map

Think of the Whitest person you know: someone with blond hair, blue eyes and almost translucent skin, not a drop of Black ancestry in them. Now think of the darkest person you know: someone richly endowed with traditional African features, not even a drop of White ancestry in their past. Well, guess what? Scientists now trace the origins of both of these people-and of all human beings who have ever walked the face of the earth-to Black Africa, to the region around what is now Ethiopia. As Spencer Wells, the director of National Geographic's massive Genographic Project, puts it: "Our species evolved in Africa, and a subset of Africans left that continent around 50,000 years ago to populate the rest of the world. Our earliest ancestors probably looked very much like modern Africans."
This would have been news to "Bull" Connor and Orval Faubus and countless other racists from our past. It is also news to most of our White
