Afro-Latino History: Roberto Clemente

[@stephysteph9538]

My family is Nica and Robert Clemente has a special place in our hearts and in the Nicaraguan people's heart for what he did for us after the earthquake in Nicaragua. I love that man forever, it hurts my heart that he died so young.

[@sjlopez87]

Antonia del Carmen Peregrino Álvarez. She was Afro-Mexican. Not many people know her story. Her grandfather was Haitian but left to Mexico. She’s from Veracruz, a Mexican State with an Afro-Latino history and community. The Mexican government will finally added African descents to the official census. She sung boleros.

[@patsnationok1373]

Um first of all she wasn’t even Mexican she was of hatian ethnicity and your right nobody knows who she is 😂😂😂

[@patsnationok1373]

African descents ?? Mexicans are not black Mexico has a population of over 45 million only 2 million afro Mexicans whom got there from the Caribbean she wasn’t even Mexican she was from Haiti do your research cause I sure did

[@solarislawson4152]

​@@patsnationok1373they said that her *grandfather* came from Haiti which would imply that he came to Mexico and likely had children with a Mexican woman. Then one of his children might've also had children with a Mexican and had Ms. Antonia. If this is true, she'd be both Haitian and Mexican ethnically, speaking.

I just wrote a paper about Afro-Latinos! Beautiful culture ❤️

[@Emadavid]

Raynesha Green what was your paper about?

[@geminibabii123]

emadavidc I wrote about the misrepresentation of Afro-Latinos in the media. I was really inspired by Amara La Negra and Monica Muse and felt like It was a good topic. Just like African-Americans, Afro-Latinos deserve to be equally represented on television and in other forms of media. It shouldn’t just be those with the lighter skin tones representing us.

[@jerryhernandez1895]

Raynesha Green Sounds like a interesting paper! By the way are you Afro Latino or African America?

[@geminibabii123]

Jerry Hernandez African American

[@Emadavid]

Raynesha Green That's cool. To me talking about that is weird because in PR I never felt that racial aspect of being an afro-latino. I always been ignorant because I never experienced any, that I know. Always felt, while in Pr, that racism was something that happens in other countries and that it 'never' affected me. I take all that as good and bad. Good 'cause I think the reason I wasn't as aware about racism in general was because there was nothing that remembered me constantly about being black (and therefore 'different') and bad by being ignorant about where my skin color comes from and all the things my (our) people went through so that I could go to college, vote, take the seat that I want on a bus, etc.

[@Nicki17321]

I absolutely love this series! I'm not Latina, but as a person of color, I believe it's extremely important for all of us to recognize the contributions Latinos, especially Afro-Latinos have made to this country. The fact that Gadiel and Julissa hosted the video made it even better.

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

Puerto rico is certainly not forgotten. At least not in the US. They are the second most abundant Latinos in the US after the Mexicans. Most Central American countries and Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay are the most ignored in America. But yeah, if it is within the Latino community, then maybe PR is forgotten bcuz they are not really a country.

[@BUMKID622]

Thank you guys so much for talking about Roberto Clemente. We Puerto Ricans are so proud of his accomplishments, but he really does represent for all Latinos across the board. And there are tons more that we'd LOVE to hear about! Also please discuss: Famous Hispanic Inventors!

[@jonasrocks247]

Actuallyyyy a lot of Americans recognize Clemente! He's even been mentioned in many movies. Also ive seen people from the states wearing his jersey. It's all about respect and admiration. Obviously in Puerto Rico he is also very well known and has a baseball park named after him. But thankyou for sharing his story! He is and will always be one of our greatest heroes❤️❤️🇵🇷

[@AbbyEndy]

Aileen Davila I personally had never heard of him! But I definitely knew Jackie Robinson, even before the movie came out!

[@aileen3003]

Agree with you and also like your name ❤😂

[@poncicasas5948]

Aileen Davila he’s well known in the Latino culture pero not so well known in the English culture. Everyone seems to remember people that speak English in the United States. Like Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther, but we got heroes like Clemente that gave hope to us Latinos that we can do anything in this country even if we speak a different language, but the English culture doesn’t really appreciate him or anything good that a Latino has done in the United States.

[@l_eblablabla8405]

Malcolm X's Daughter It is incredibly sad that you think black history should be limited to in such away. African Americans, Latinos, etc., need to know the contributions of ALL black people around the world : Africa, Asia (yes there have been black Poole in Asia since about year 600 AD), Europe (blacks have been there since at least 1400), the rest of the Americas. And, BTW, the 1st black person in what is now the US was Juan Garrido (a free man, not a slave) who arrived in about 1508 (US federal government records). All people, but especially all black people should take pride in the contributions of all black peoples around the world. White Americans have no problem learning + teaching about contributions of Europeans, for example.

[@navymiguelito]

Great chemistry between Gadiel and Julissa, and sharing their Afro-Latino history. More from these two hosting this series, please!

[@anaislowe2293]

My dad was a major fan of Clemente when he was a kid, and when my parents had me they named me (my middle name) after him. (I have neither Lantinx or African roots, but as a Pennsylvanian kid, Clemente was my fathers role model in many ways), It’s awesome that you guys made this video, and I hope his messages of perseverance and his legacy inspire others!

Gracias un millón puñeta!!!! Thank you! Roberto Clemente is someone that has to be thought in our schools. I’m lucky that I got to know about him in my school , but nowadays they aren’t teaching the importance of our history. The REAL history. Since Puerto Rico is a colony of the USA, they don’t really teach us the real history about PR in our schools. They just say “Habían taínos, Colón nos encontró y somos blancos, negros y españoles” LITERALLY that is all the teach us until we get to to college. And there is so much more about our history that I am still learning about it. So it really meant a lot to me for you guys to make this segment. Thank you.

I’m more “light skin” because my mothers side of the family are white Hondureños. But I’ll never deny that my grandfather on my fathers side is Black and my father himself is half Black and I’m hella proud of it. Much love from an Hondureña and Dominican couple 💜

Having grown up in the area of Pittsburgh, I had the most blessed opportunity to see "The Great One" showcase his ultra-phenomenal baseball skills regularly. It's a sad commentary on the shortcomings of today's reporting of sports history and legends that Roberto Clemente is not mentioned and showcased much more. He was an authentic example of what I, to this day, measure grace, nobility and true human greatness by. A ball game with him in it took on a transcendental quality that made miracles as ever present, joyful and beautiful as summer sunshine. He was beyond mesmerizing. "The Honorable" Roberto Clemente was truly a Godsend. He's the best baseball player I've ever seen, to this day. I liked the styles of Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle, but it was the addition of Roberto Clemente's spiritual aura (and his legendary aches and pains which meant he was going to cause the opposition pain) that enhanced his arsenal of tremendous skills, and elevated him higher than the other greats, in my humble opinion. His selfless generosity and ultimate sacrifice for the people of Nicaragua was truly amazing grace and love. May GOD'S Highest Blessings be upon him. And may "The Honorable" Roberto Clemente rest in peace.

[@trecswagg3635]

Thank you for sharing this with the world. Roberto Clemente is an icon, legend, and hero. I live in NY and as mentioned in this video, there are several parks, schools, centers, named in his honor. Please continue to share the afro-latino stories, experiences, ECT. Again, thank you.

[@SjeiiSays]

Stephanie Although I agree that Afro-Latin history should be discussed more, you do realize that the point of history class in grades K-12 is to teach history that lead to and developed the US, right? Hell, there's large portions of Afro-American history that doesn't get covered in school, but we're supposed to be more so concerned with Afros outside of the US?

[@shiannewalker437]

I think that the way that this media network has given a platform for people of color to share their stories is priceless for our society. The more that we understand each other, the greater our sense of kinship, the less likely we are to alienate one another. Also, Julissa's lip color is fire! I know a bit about the history of U.S. policies of intervention in Latin America, but I would love to watch a series from Pero Like where the contributors talk about the history of U.S. relations with their country of heritage/cultural origin as they understand it and how that has shaped their identities.
