Afro-Latinos? Since When!!!?

"Afro-Latinos are imposters!", "Afro-Latinos do not exist!", these are the type of comments that are said when Afro-Latinos are mentioned in such things. What I failed to realize is, why are people not accepting the fact that this race is real and is out there all over but are just never noticed? I personally think its just upsetting that society is responsible for corrupting the minds of most people and filling them with complete ignorance.

" Afro-Latinos: La Historia Que Nunca Nos Contaron" (Afro-Latinos The "Untaught" Story is a documentary television series that helps celebrate and show the culture of people in Latin America of African descent. Statistically, there are 2oo million Afro-Americans in Latin America who do not have political or economic power. The major issue with this is that Afro-Latinos are not accepted and are considered invisible because of the color of there skin. If this isnt ignorance then I don't know what is! This series is an interesting and helpful way of understanding because they really show how African dialects are mixed with Spanish language. Many similarities between both races are shown in such a profound way.

I think that if people were just willing on getting to know someone and/or get a little insight from their background instead of being so quick to judge right off the back, then things wouldnt be so hard to accept between these two races. Being that this situation receives little too no attention publicly shows that this problem has yet surfaced many minds of people.
