"I'm Puerto Rican" Nuggets Michael Porter Jr. Involved in a Car Tow Issue

Seriously, this bugs me out...why do some black people take offense when Dominican, Puerto Rican’s, or anyone else tell people that they are not black, they are Dominican. Why do you get so offended? Why are niggas desperate for everyone to be black? I don’t get it.
So, to make people happy, people must pretend they are not Puerto Rican or Dominican and claim black to make niggas happy?
If you call a Korean nigga Chinese, he will quickly correct you and nobody will be offended. BUT if you call a Dominican nigga black and he says he’s not black, he’s Dominican, suddenly everyone is in an uproar. (And yes, I know that Dominican isn’t a race and blah blah... but still)

True.. ask an Afro American are they Puerto Rican, ask an African is he Puerto Rican, ask a West Indian is he Puerto Rican.. the answer would be no.. so people can’t be mad when you ask a Puerto Rican if they are any of these 3 and they reply no
Part of the problem is defining "black" as African American.
The real question is why do African Americans not understand that the I am black is only something done in this country.
Black is not what melanated or others do in other parts of the world.
Mofokrs ain't walking around the African continent talking about they are black. They say they are whatever tribe or country they are.
Amer I Cans claim their description because they do not know their tribe of country.....
Nobody proclaims their social construct except here
I think the issue is Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, etc who are quick to say they aren't Black, are also the same that rep & co-opt Black American culture. But immediately claim their heritage when it's inconvenient to be Black. This country works off of skin tones. Racist white people don't care that you're Dominican. You're Black to them. I think they get more offended about being called Black than I do when they deny it. I don't care. Just don't ever say nigga around me.
You are an idiot.
Black in this example is not a culture.
A Korean or Chinese person will admit they are both Asian.
If you are black as night and speak Spanish but don’t think you are black. You motherfucking stupid.
Just like the black people with straight hair living in India and shit. They fucking blacker than me.
Halle Berry is black but Sammy Sosa ain’t? Give me a fucking break.

That's true that we are the only ones that have to rep this way. What's a solution to fix this with the history provided to us? 23 & me.com? Ancestry.com?
This. This only started here on BGOL. Black isn’t about Black American.
If you aren’t from Africa by birth you are not an African American. African American is such a dumb thing to call yourself.

Those sites are fake. If you knew about DNA you would know that shit isn’t accurate. Can’t type it all but please check out on YouTube.
23 and Me is slightly better than.
How can a test tell you that your DNA matched to people that are living in an area now?
like people didn’t travel?

That’s it. The classification in this country is backwards and goes contrary to everywhere else in the world, including the black factory, Africa.
The word “black“ needs to be recategorized here in these United States.

Been saying this since forever and a day. You can’t “set the rules”, then get upset when folks follow em.

He can think what he wants. Walk into an all white neighborhood down south, and they're going to educate on who is what.
*I'm taking about the Indian fella in the pic. I'll let @mangobob79 explain deeper

talmbout we not the only black men
But if you call him ASIAN (note the race and not the nationality), you probably wouldn't get corrected...
Also, not disagreeing with your overall point.
folk either dumb or just love to play dumb
ive said my piece bruh, the others can state their piece , im at peace !, this is a pornboard i keep forgetting and most ppl here aint seen outside their neighborhoods or state or even countries , when u begin to think & live like a global citizen BLACKMAN these things become clearer on geo-historical-politics & u can compartmentalize their importance but i'll always make sure just for the record purposes i state my piece and let it be known. he can make his false allegations & assumptions, my take on the topic is clear , godspeed bruh

Give that man his sorry ass $100 so he can drop the car.
Black is a race, not a nationality.
There are black Cubans, black Dominicans, etc. and they are considered black in their countries. By saying I'm not black I'm (fill in the blank), they are denying their blackness because they view it as being bad. Self hate is not exclusive to America.

Again. The problem is defining black as African American. Simply put, when black latinos get to this country they are straight up told that Black means African American and that African American is something different from Latino or Hispanic. This is the root of why a lot of black latinos don't call themselves "black". They are nationalistic and down for whatever country they came from. Now they can't be latino anymore just because they are black and arrived to the United States? That's the dilemma. And African Americans contribute to this confusion by telling black latinos "Oh, I thought you wuz black" just because they hear a black latino speak Spanish. It's as if the English language makes you more African than the Spanish language for some people.
Black Cubans, Dominicans, Panamanians, Ecuadorians, Colombians, etc have no doubts about their blackness because they are black wherever they go. It's only when they get to the U.S do they face this weird system where they can't call themselves black anymore. As a Central American, I will say that this actually has helped to unify latinos of all races in the U.S. If white latinos would have turned into white americans and black latinos would have converted into black americans than maybe just the indian looking ones would join the navajos or something. who knows
keep saying it the problem is multifaceted , u do bring up somethings i've been saying, tho white latinos do indeed turn into whites americans rafael "cancun" cruz etc
