Actor/Singer Tyrese - "I wish I was born Latino"



You can't help but eant to be another race when you already look like you're made up from different races according to Stewie.
 
Sometimes I wish I was born Latino…. I mean the Latin community is grounded in family, loyal, entrepreneurs, businessman, and women literally represent the dream, the grind the hustle doing whatever it takes to stick together against all odds ##

If us is black culture was more grounded in these integral magical nuances of us we would be dominant….

I’ve learned a lot from the Jewish community sticking together eating dinner every Friday together. I’ve learned a lot about the Muslim community throughout all my travels in the Middle East. They have a father structure where they honor their fathers the Middle East the thinking in the mentality is that they would much rather have a son over a daughter because they know that there is nothing like the leadership of a FATHER and a man being the head of the household….

I have no idea how we lost our way.. We can’t get anything done and accomplished, as a fragmented culture…. insecure, threatened by each other m… Competitive towards our own race, killing ourselves every single day frivolously the majority of us is black men and the millions are locked up in prison.

Of course we ARE we are beyond powerful, influential and successful, but imagine if we all linked up like other communities have linked? Poured and built up on each other Instead of moving like fragmented and dysfunctional…. We have what it TAKES to take over the WORLD!!! We are nothing trying to do it ALONE!! Please chime in…. Would love to know your thoughts on this….


Crazy cause you can see it in this thread, one of our own is saying something. But in the meantime he getting flamed by his own people. I’m also part of the problem as well. Their community reminds me of a bunch unified ants, they work well together.

As 2pac said…They say it’s the white man I should fear, but it’s my own kind doing all the killing here.

When I traveled to other countries, I was amazed at how the hell they have less. But live life better, for example they could be dancing right in the street. While us will post up at club on IG. Another one I witnessed you text us will text back maybe 5 hours later. When they text it’s instant reply.

My last one is if a Latina gives you her number you got 24hrs to call her. Or she thinks your not interested in her. Us ninja got to wait three days so we don’t seem thirsty.

Ye touch on it a little bit.

Definition of a pussy ass nigga. Crying for attention like a child or woman instead starting what he may feel is missing. I can’t stand complainers and whiners.
 
My father said we lost that unity in the 70's and by the 80's what little was left went to hell cause the children became the adults while the adults became void.

My father was 1 of 16 but after moving away he became distant and from some family members for good reasons after he's more than helped them;back in the days we wouldn't fuck over each other like we do now,we worship everything but ourselves,our culture,our struggles,our history and our love ones.

See the problem with this is a lot of black families are grounded but you do have assholes around the edges. The same thing goes with the Hispanic community. They are grounded, but they do have assholes around the edges of their family. And don’t even get me started about CACs. In a nutshell, be happy you was born black
Nigga the only thing we grounded in is getting money, we marry the lowest, wedlock the highest, we more American than Hispanics, they bringing over illegals cause we don’t want them jobs, the illegals are more family oriented and will live poor and work together to make it and that’s exactly what the cacs really want.
So all dem cartels killing off each other is Latino unity? All those girls selling pussy in Latin America to have the world are really being loyal to their men?

What about the civil unrest in South/Central America and the mobs of illegals roaming to America.

That's unity?

Mexico, Columbia, and Brazil are coked out countries. Mexico and Brazil may not exist as we know them as countries in the next generation.

Niggas kill me because they aren't really exposed to cultures and just buy propaganda.

Go hang out in Tijuana in the wrong place in 2024 as a Mexican American and watch how much they love you.

I'm not anti Latino but any means but to act like they ain't got major problems is a joke. A lot is being disguised because of drug wealth that at the same time is ripping Latin America at its seems.

This nigga has only proved how stupid he his. If his ex wife was Latino she would have said fuck the lawyer and just poisoned his black ass with the help of her cousin who was really her boyfriend and gotten ALL his money.

That's how those hoes really get down. FOH with this BS.
Every group has its issues but still from the outside they way more family oriented than us and this is a fact, even with the Martel’s and all that. Some of those hoes get used as hookers still end up marrying at an older age. that shows you no matter what ills the community has the women are usually wanted, can’t say the same for older sisters, find me a old porn star from the 90s married to a brew, mostly a broke nigga or a cac.

Truth is most of us know black culture is shit, it’ just a social party at this point and it really has no value long term.
 
Context is king


That was an interview for Latina Magazine. It was 2007 and she was clearly pandering and trying to grow her fan base/ audience.....

Not the same as Tyrese, (off his meds?) just randomly telling this shit to the world
Tyrese is clearly pandering too. He's a guy who, vocally, lost his family because his wife felt she could do better. He has a vested interest in trying to promote the "family brand to his audience.
 
I get what he's saying. It's more that he wishes there was more solidarity amongst black folk in America like other communities more than he wante to be Latino. He said he Envy's them not he doesn't want to be them but he's focusing on the negative because I've seen threads were parents rewarded their daughter for being a good student by opening up a business for her to run. Or a rich dude that gave his daughter a doll house the size of a small pool house and black family go out of eat together.

Bullshit.. With his first words "sometimes I wish I was born Latino" he lost me and probably every other black person who is not a self-hating Kneegro.

How is wishing for more solidarity among black people by wishing he wasn't born one not contributing to negative stereotypical beliefs about black people held by other races including the one he apparently longs to be a part of? This asshole needs to check his history. Despite the ravages of slavery and Jim Crow we have still managed to survive and progress because of our inherent solidarity. Tyrese should have kept the embarrassing comments emanating from his self hating mentality to himself. :hmm:

We live in the era of knee jerk reactions and running with headlines for clicks. Context is in a coma it seems.

Every smart person knew exactly what he meant but couldn’t get past the, “Sometimes I wish I was born Latino..” buzzwords. His post would’ve probably hit differently if he ended with that, instead of starting with it.

Given the context of his post, he’s absolutely right. We the only ones without collective unity in large numbers. Sure, we have a few pockets and examples of unity here and there but overall, we lack severely when it comes to unifying as a collective.

Overall, Tyrese wasn’t wrong in that post and folks understand what he means after reading it but won’t cause of the very thing he’s talking about. Our brokenness and incessant need to be right, mostly always throws the baby out with the bath water regardless how sound the message is, further proving his point.

The irony is palpable.

This talking point is ONLY used on black folks though.

Why dont folks call out the lack of Latino Unity when Cubans in florida vote against immigration?
Why isnt lack of Asian unity used when Chinese people are not jumping to participate in the Cherry Blossom festival, or when Japanese people are not around during the Lunar new year festival in San Francisco.
or when slavs were shit on so bad by other white folks that they would change their names here?

Black people are the only people who are shamed into accepting EVERYTHING just because we are black.

Thier disconnects aren’t widely broadcasted nor as consistent as ours. They all have more stories of collective economic strength. I hear what you’re saying and it sucks, but we don’t own the world and struggle to change the global narrative against black people worldwide.

And with each incident, that animosity towards us grows everyday. It’s a vicious cycle we’re trapped with no end in sight.

the other major difference is non black celebrities and politicians don't denigrate their ppl in public.

Agreed but we can’t figure it out behind closed doors. I’m sure if we could, we’d handle it there.

The public outcry might just be desperation.
 
Alot.of brothers feel this way low key and I'm one of them. Honestly we don't have much of a community I've always said that we're individualized mostly due to slavery.

I can't fault.tyrese for this I can see what he means, I'm in Florida and see tons of poor Hispanics hooking up to survive black folks on the other hand moving away for a job or for cheaper living. I know sisters with three kids and no man leaving Florida for Georgia for cheaper living. At three kids that gotta be tough with mouths to feed.

I feel him completely but most yall would say you a coon but wheen upu in Miami especially Doral and Hialeah it's pure low income Hispanics with a uncle in the couch charging him rent to survive we simply don't think like that.

No offense to anymore but if you never been broke and alone like that you wouldn't really know.

Probably most cats online do pretty well so they immediately bash him but if he spoke this in the hood I'm sure he'll get major support.
All I got to say if you was Mexican and born in nyc in the 70/80s and had to live like one for 3-4 decades you would completely change your thought pattern. In fact in less than 24 hrs you would’ve begged god to change you back and kiss the ground thanking him for doing it. Mexicans were the gazelles of nyc and every race randomly would rob them, beat them up, etc.. your whole life would be running every single day from an asswhipping . Men, women, kids could kick your ass. You would be 5 ft tall and your lil legs couldn’t out run most races so why you try to run you still had a high chance of getting caught and getting robbed and beat up. People would practice their punching power by randomly snuffing Mexicans in the face to see if they had a one hitter quitter. Most of your jobs would be under the table , you would get shit pay, if you didn’t like it you would just be broke. Most people knew Mexicans got paid on Thursday and Friday so robbery days were high if you were Mexican. Also you probably would have a drinking problem cause of your life of running . So once again would you rather live that life or be black?
 
Nigs talking about “unity” in the Mexican community when there’s literally multiple beheadings every day in Mexico by the cartels.. where’s there unity when these nigs been killing each other for decades over drugs.. how bout Mexican gangs killing each other etc.. nigs would shit bricks if you were dropped in one of those “unity” areas in Mexico with the cartels and gangs.. there’s a reason why millions of Mexicans trying to run over here

Your all over the place here but Mexicans then and now are different, the ones born today don't face most of those shortcummings...

So I would risk it honestly.

You said a Latin hooker can still find a man in her community to marry her? Maybe that means the men in her community just have lower standards and will tolerate her whorish ways cause he’s a sucker. That’s not an insult to black people that’s actually a compliment. Imagine a nig saying our community isn’t shit cause the men don’t marry the block cumrag. wtf do you nigs understand the bullshit ya type?

Who lied to you. Them Mexicans still get their ass kicked and are paid under the table. They don’t get fucked up as much cause of cameras but they still always gotta be on point. By the way lots of them are single with no buns. No other race of chicksis fucking with them like that cause they are look at the bottom of the food chain.. you still wanna be a Mexican from nyc?
