  • I miss Gadiel, his personality is so big so bright and comes across so welcoming.
  • @tlightsylvan
    "I'm not defending my cultural identity to anyone anymore" that part!!! this vid is so spot on. I literally had to yell at my Latino father that YES, I am BLACK. he married a whole black woman, why was he surprised when his kid is also black?! wild.
  • @donnav7412
    Thank you for bringing Gadiel back from retirement for this talk with delicious food. Inclusion.. that's all.
  • @oh.bessssie
    I loved how Encanto included a variety of colors of Colombians.
  • @jorgebp4412
    That girl is right we are racist to each other. I’m a black Mexican from Guerrero where slavery was abolished first and we had a black president before Obama (Vicente Guerrero). I’m proud to be black or in my peoples words “negro”! Also yes more black Latinos on tv please!!!
  • @katiebanks7460
    True story, my husband's best friend is Dominican. He is dark but swears he is white. He says that he is not black, he's white. He selects white Hispanic on the census. So yea there are Afro-Latinos that deny their blackness.
  • Gadiel and his sister have nice voices, especially when they speak Spanish.
  • @Roaring_Lotus
    As an Afro-Latina, I needed this so badly. Thank you! 🖤😭🖤
  • Love to my Afro-Latinos 🇩🇴🇭🇳🇨🇺🇵🇦🇭🇹🇧🇿🇨🇷
  • @JulianSteve
    Finally, Pero Like has actual Afro-Latinos with a variety of shades. Pero Like needs to do more on diversifying their Afro-Latino crew members, but this is a start. As an Afro-Honduran, who advocates proper representation of actual Afro-Latinos of all shades on my channel. I have hope with the inclusivity here and other media outlets💯

    Andee you made me cry. As a black Mexican I’ve heard anti blackness from my own family and culture. Everything you said I have experienced. It’s so hard to find black Mexicans from Mexico as allies because they have been taught to dislike their blackness and those of us who are proud are constantly told to stop calling ourselves black because we are mixed and to accept everything else that we might be as equally important as a way to try and erase our black roots. I meet black Mexicans all the time from Mexico who are proud to say it but only within their families but never in public because they don’t want to be labeled as black because that makes them feel less. My people have so much confusion because of the anti blackness that resides in Mexican culture. I hope one day to see black Mexicans from Mexico stand proud and claim their blackness like Some of us have done all our lives. Afro-Mexicana♥️ Afro-Latina negra orgullosa! Thank you for this conversation.
