Thanks to you-tube, we are able to witness a most amazing thing: A casual conversation by  brown Latinos (most likely in their early 20's) about black Latinos particularly of Haitian extraction - some in their own family even.  As they converse with loose and carefree words uninhibited by political correctness, you begin to sense...not so much a disdain for blacks but more of an amusement at how blacks by and large hate themselves. Such revelations no doubt result from the painful stigma of black skin through a transitory period of chattel slavery, Jim Crow laws (in North America), & Códigos Negros (en América Latina).  Indeed, the psychopathology of the Afro-descendant today still inspires much controversy and intrigue among those outside our collective black camp.

For them apparently, this is an innocent but lively distraction on the unfortunate plight of visibly identifiable African descendants. For those of us in the camp however, it is the primary obstacle to full achievement and pride as an ethnic group.
