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

[Non-StopJFK2TAB]

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 board can be a macrocosm of the real world. Do you know how many of the people on my ignore list are FBA? A good percentage. How can you work with someone like that? I can point out to them until I’m blue in the face about their behaviors of distrust but they’ll never listen to me because I’m indicative of the problem.

I was raised in a house to hate the Indian. The Jamaicans, the Guyanese, Saint Lucians; if you were on a spec of dirt in the Caribbean Sea, I grew up hearing bad things about you. The only country that didn’t catch a stray was Barbados probably because it was all black.

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?

If you’re raised to think cash is king and to have no cash means you’re unworthy of not a kingdom but life, how would you view a man without cash? These women are being indoctrinated to like specifically one kind of male. And white women are so dumb, they have yet to see the play develop.

 

[woodchuck]

I like how we say we're not monolithic, which is true, and then proceed to say shit that makes us monolithic. Black people don't sit down and have dinner with their family? I guess we didn't get that memo.

 

[totto]

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?

All due respect all that dating shit means nothing when you old bro... it doesn't really have a leg to stand on, if a nigga married a hoe, let him because when he gets up there and he's too old to be in them spots it's a wrap unless he got a wife at home. Look past the sucka nigga stuff and look at the basic foundation of family and what usually it creates, we got whole laws here in Miami the city are trying to get rid of because the Hispanic community keeps finding a way around it while paying no fees on it. Government out here shafting niggas left and right, deregulation thanks to Trump and DeSantis and they eat and even with the rent increases they find a way to survive, unity bro it's not really that hard... you just supporting that nigga nonsense that has no long term value....

You know very few black women get into porn and mostly it's because they know it don't work out like them white girls who do it imo...

You should know how them family gatherings look bro, pure fat single woman with no man complaining, we know the routine and you should be against it. At the end of the day say what you want about hispanics but they going in the right direction.

 

[totto]

Call a spade a spade, we're the face of entertainment but we don't get the results, we've seen it time in and out, something just doesn't work....

Terrible feeling when the music stops.... and reality kicks in.....

 

[Bad Andy]

The only thing Latino he envy’s is the women. It’s the same dark skin nicca sob story. We seen it with TO and all them self hating dudes raised by women. Tyrese said he never had a positive black male role model growing up. John Singleton gave him his first major role and he has also benefited from black men in music and film. At what point is this dude gonna grow the fuck up.

Dude who sold you this horseshit lie. I got Dominican friends as well as Puerto Rican friends who grew up in single parent homes. They both talk about how they fathers weren’t shit and wasn’t there. It’s funny how nigs were sold the lie that the single parent home shit was a black thing. I know latin chicks that are single parents or got multiple baby fathers. Some of them chicks may eventually get married but the husband aint the father to all her kids. I know black men who had Hispanic baby mother and will tell you them bitches ain’t shit same with Latin dudes. So all this “family” , “unity”, growing up with togetherness smoke and mirrors shit. Like I said being from nyc we are intertwined with Latin people, white people, etc so we get to see up close and personal what really is going on. We don’t need bullshit media propaganda, bullshit statistics, to sell us a diff narrative. All I have to say is how often do ya hang out with Latin people outside your workplace, how many call you on a regular basis, how many functions of theres do ya go to. Sounds like ya not really speaking from personal experience. I’ll have Dominican and Puerto Rican people laugh at some of this whole we all stick together bullshit and pops in the crib

 

[tallblacknyc]

Here’s to Latin unity



Oh wait there’s such a thing as Latin on Latin crime

Shit go on everyday you just don’t hear about it cause lot of them nigs don’t report it to police cause some of them nigs dirty or they might not be here legally, plus some live by the no snitching code

Some minorities love parroting white words. To combat their indoctrination doesn’t yield the results you would think it should.

[godofwine]

Stuff like this is taken out of context. I know what he means. I don't know the man or know the man's heart, but I know what he means. It is an uphill climb with ice skates on as a black man considering many of our upbringings in the fractured black family.

I wish I had better or even different parents.

Latins also suffer from single parent homes, gang violence, the crack and heroin era, latin on Latin crime, racism, lack of resources and academic outlets.. so what would bein latin make his life better? If he was born in a war zone in Mexico with the cartels would his life been better or better yet would he still even be alive?

Facts. There are clouds over every city. Just because it appears sunny, doesn't mean that someone isn't looking up at clouds and feeling sad because of it.

 

[RUDY RAYYY MO]

He's talking about Latin Blacks, ysll think he talking about Ricky Martin latins

 

[November 17]

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?

Damn, growing up I only had one friend who is Mexican (he's actually half Mexican/half Puerto Rican, and I didn't know he was half Mexican until he told me).

 

[November 17]

He's talking about Latin Blacks, ysll think he talking about Ricky Martin latins

This video prompted him to make those statements.

 

[November 17]

This is compounded or excerbated (depending on your stance) by this:

 

[34real]

God bless my father's soul but he always,always told us that there's two groups of people you don't war with that's latino's and gay people.

In his words "You get a Puerto Rican to deal with a Puerto Rican,you get a faggit to deal with a Faggit...they know each other,they know their ways" that shit always stuck with me but I didn't understand it til years later.
I understand now and it just doesn't apply to them now

 

[jawnswoop]

I wish he was too so that he stop making us look bad especially people like us that love the color of their skin.

I wouldn't be surprised if he started to bleach his skin like Sammy sosa.

 

[eagle force]

and they hate their own dark skin ppl so it's the same thing

 

[Adroit]

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

I don't see the difference.

My last apartment Loft in NYC was in Bushwick in 2006. My spot was off Knickerbocker and the neighborhood was infested with Latin King Puerto Ricans. Them dudes was grimey as fuck. The girls were also little welfare queens with multiple baby daddies. Plenty of daddy issues and did nothing but talk about each other.

 

[Politic Negro]

So he's Tito Jimenez to me now and he do mariachi now. Shit he go re-record all of hits from now. Bet that clown doesn't speak Spanish.

Bingooooo.. like I said nigs believe in this fairytale perfect world outside the black community is some we are the world fantasy with zero problems. Lot of times outside races got it worse than us but it’s not highlighted cause they not the biggest threat to the “white man”.. the black man has been the biggest threat to the white man cause they are intimidated by our presence and greatness so they use the media and the fact they control amerikkka to systematically try to manipulate, control, and destroy us. So they spend billions and use manpower on us meanwhile not caring or using those same tactics on every other opposition outside the black race. So they don’t get get highlighted in a negative way

 

[tallblacknyc]

Damn, growing up I only had one friend who is Mexican (he's actually half Mexican/half Puerto Rican, and I didn't know he was half Mexican until he told me).

New York specifically Manhattan and Harlem is filled with Afro Americans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, West Indian, African, Mexicans,cacs, Asian, etc.. Harlem could be filled with Afro American, West Indian, African, and have pockets of Puerto Ricans and Dominicans.. on the east side ( Spanish Harlem ) Puerto Ricans, and in the heights ( Washington heights) Dominicans. Depending on the school you went to could be majority black with some Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. So we have always been around each other specifically Puerto Ricans in 80s/90s, etc and once they started learning English more Dominicans in the 2000s. So you are bound to know Spanish people if you go to school, certain clubs, eateries, workplace, you fuck their women ( which I did).. growing up most of my boys were Afro American, some were West Indian, and a few were Puerto Rican. Than through school got to know more Spanish people. Than you have boroughs like bx and queens with even more Spanish people

You in MYC, I'm near Miami so we see two different groups of Hispanics, you see much more Dominicans, I see almost mostly married cubans...

I see them start moving boxes and then move furniture and then owned a moving company, same with cutting grass and here in Florida car washing is a big thing, every gas station rents out space to a washing crew, most Hispanics....

So I see mostly under educated Hispanics, working hard, eventually getting married and familied up, and most niggas at the bar drinking cheap liquor getting messed up and dropping dead before 55, I'm out west too, not east by the beach. We have two different views, NYC is much different than Florida, when those NYC cats ready to retire they come here become GOP.

So regardless of the media which I don't even watch my eyes tell me

a. even if they messed up they don't talk about it
b. whatever happens the outside image is better than most of ours since it usually isn't centered around expectations "AT FIRST".
c. If they Golddiggers or whatever the culture is pretty quiet and the media downplays everything for them to protect their image which is understand.

This motherfucka!​

Shut up Race!

Where's the flag?!

Taking this niggas songs out my R&B playlist.

Shut up Mello!! Almost dropped my whole beer nigga

I get what he trying to say, he just have to stay off the internet with it.

I assume he’s talking about the unity.

Yes my nigga, I think this is what he meant and yes - he be on some crybaby shit most often but he was big upping their ways and respect for unity and how they treat each other. Latino pride is some major shit.


HOWEVER.

When you are as dark as he is and representing for all the black niggas on screen in big budget fanfare then you have a responsibility to speak correctly and smartly. Tyrese just doesnt get it.


Imagine Jordan or Wesley Snipes or even little Kevin saying some bullshit like this. It looks bad.

Bey said some shit like this before too and you can see her whole style and hair and everything she does is gathered form lighter folks and their culture.


What happened to just being Black and Proud?

oNE

 

[mystacarlo]

These black celebrities i swear are a dumb ass bunch.

Yep. They said it was "culture Arab attire" or something..but he was the only male dressed like that. The other males had on suits.
Looked weird AF.
