I watched this interview too. I love Dascha!
Look how easy it was for Afro Latnio to roll off Envys tongue in this interview but for some reason he forgot what it was when he interviewed Amara?
Cthagod got amnesia or something? Is he mentally challenged? Is his comprehension skills at an infants level...how can you say you know what an afro-cuban is but not an Afro-Dominican. Same diaspora!!
Even if you didn't comprehend the trans-Atlantic slave trade or the fact that African people came to the America's prior to that, common sense would say "Well if there are Afro Cubans, there gotta be Afro Panamanian, Afro Dominican, Afro Puerto Rican, Afro Nicaraguan, etc."
What is his problem with latino/a identifying as African!?! It's just the same as African American. African people are EVERYWHERE!!
I know for sure he has some intelligent people around him. Them people need to educate him ASAP because his ass gets jump by some afro-latinos! This shit infuriates me!!

He didn't get a chance to finish the joke because she interrupted it, but it was said in the thread by me and a couple others that it's a joke he's been doing for over a decade and explained the punchline.
Okay...
Imagine how infuriating it is to have this be your reality and people always question your blackness...it's far more annoying in real life. Seeing it in interview form just makes it worse.

I empathize with you. I had a friend who is Afro-Panamanian. She was born in the states to two Afro-Panamanian parents. People would tell her she wasn't Panamanian just because she was black. She didn't fit in with the other Latinas because she wasn't "mixed looking."
They only accepted or should I say believed she was Afro-Panamanian when she spoke spanish.
You get hate from both sides, too dark for the latino community and too foreign for the african american community.

Yeah I've dealt with racism from the latin community due to me being black. That I will never deny. The shit that will always be odd to me though is in my life it's only been black Americans to tell me I'm not black. And 8 times out of 10 the first reaction to finding out I'm latino is "Well speak spanish." or actually having been told multiple times that I was making up a country when I say I'm Panamanian. Or people assuming I'm lying and trying to be "exotic" especially because my first name isn't a spanish name.

Plain and simple a lot of black Americans are uncultured and arrogant to the world outside of America. They can only comprehend black people in America, english speaking caribbean islands and Africa. Who the fuck wants to fake being exotic when that is who you truly are!? Why do I have to prove to you that I am both black and latino and that, that combination is not foreign?!?!
This is a little off the mark but it intertwines with the topic:
Growing up I was always around black people of many nationalities. Both my parents are Trinidadian and I identify as that as well. 94% of my family is still back home. Of course looking at me you can't tell. So when I say to a black american person I'm trinidadian they say no you're not you weren't born there and you don't have the accent.
So I speak with my accent and then pose the question to them why do you call a person born in the states to two peurto rican parents peurto rican....I get the "Well you can look at them and tell."
Miss me with that bullshit!!

Yeah, he's fake.
Paul Rodriguez fathered his style.
Or rather, Lopez stole his style......or tried to.
Lopez wouldn't have the heart to do a show in San Quentin:

These scars are the only real proof they could not
That’s prolly cuz Paul Rodriguez was an see gang leader in Compton

They were stupid in that interview, but people are mischaracterizing what was said. Neither CtG or Envy said they didn't know there were black people in the DR. CtG specifically said that he thought Afro-Latino meant someone who was mixed between black and hispanic. He also said that he though Dominicans didn't like claiming their Black/African side which in a lot of cases is true and is actually consisten with what Amara was saying.
The bigger issue is that they kept claiming the chick's account wasn't accurate and basing that opinion on what they see in Hollywood when the chick said over and over again that she was talking about in Latin media. That said, even if they were talking about Hollywood, what she said wasn't wrong. She pointed out that for Latinas to get on and be real successful, they have to look like J Lo or Selena. There ain't really a bunch of dark skinned latinas making moves in Hollywood.

Yeah, we went over this already and Lopez was fully justified in it. Matter of fact, I posted up a standup of Katt Williams in Phoenix where he did the same shit to a Mexican dude and dared anyone to say he was foul for it. Shits was crickets.
