1 hour agoZimmermans father is white and his mother is from Peru. I bet she is white .The blacks from Peru suffered and the racism in this country is the same. Zimmerman's claim of helping blacks and having black family members means he should understand what blacks face in Peru and here. Now when it matters he wants to claim his black family members. Here is the truth:
Zimmermans mom is from Peru .Peru has the same racial problems we do because whites created it.
There is a saying in Peru - "el que no tiene de Inga tiene de
Mandinga" - which means every Peruvian has either some indigenous or
African blood.
It is an often-quoted proverb used to explain the country's blend of races.
Racial mixing began mixing with the Spanish conquistadors who overran the Inca Empire in the 16th Century, and continued with successive waves of African slaves, indentured Chinese labourers and migrants from Japan and Europe.
The phrase speaks of a melting-pot nation but does not hint at Peru's deep-set prejudices.
The country has socio-economic gaps along race lines and its inherent, if subtle, discrimination can mean an indigenous woman may only ever work as a maid; a black man may only ever aspire to be a hotel doorman.
This is the kind of everyday racism which dictates the lives of many Peruvians.
Last November, Peru became the first country in the region to
apologise to its African-descended population for centuries of abuse,
exclusion and discrimination.
Yet the country is considered one of the most backward nations in the
Americas when it comes to legislation against racism, and promoting
equal opportunities.
"In the fight against racial discrimination we've come up against
certain limits," said Mayta Capac Alatrista, director of the Institute
for the Development of Andean, Amazonian and Afro-Peruvian Peoples

2 hours agoTrue. In Latin American countries they tried to whiten the population . You see that in the Dominican Republic. The correct term is Afro Latino .
Afro-Latinos are those in the New World who are black by race, or at least mixed with black, and Latin by culture. Females are called Afro-Latinas. They mostly come from one of two places:
the Caribbean region, which has as many black and mixed people as America, about 40 million. Most live in Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.Brazil, which has half of all the black and mixed people in the New World.
There are other blacks here and there in Latin America, like in Uruguay.
A few well-known Afro-Latinos or those with Afro-Latino roots:
Brazilian: Pele, Ronaldo, Leandro Barbosa, Tais Araujo, Adriana Lima, YaYa Da Costa
Cuban: Gina Torres, Christina Millian, Fantasia Barrino, Celia Cruz, Soledad O’Brien
Dominican: Sammy Sosa, Zoe Saldana, Fabulous. Juelz Santana, Trina, Sessilee Lopez, Arlenis Sosa Peña
Puerto Rican: Maxwell, Rosario Dawson, Lloyd Banks,
Lauren Velez, Roberto Clemente, Reagan Gomez-Preston, Rosie Perez,
La-La, Irene Cara, VV Brown, Arturo Schomburg
Venezuelan: Hugo Chavez
Panamanian: Tatyana Ali, Gwen IfillHaitian: Garcelle Beauvais, Wyclef Jean, Edwidge Danticat, W.E.B. Du BoisMartinique: Frantz FanonAmerican
Creole: Beyonce, Prince
The blackest countries in Latin America which have at least a million black and mixed people:
98% Haiti: 9.8m
64% Dominican Republic: 8.5m 62%
Cuba: 7.1m 49%
Brazil: 91.2m 21%
Colombia: 9.0m 10%
Venezuela: 2.7m
Puerto Rico has almost a million. The western shore of the Caribbean has another million spread between different countries.
America - in very round numbers – has about 3 million (not counting Puerto Rico):
0.5m Haitians0.6m black Hispanics, mainly from the Caribbean2.0m Creoles, whose roots go back to French New Orleans but now are pretty much Americanized
There are three times more Afro-Latinos than Afro-Americans – because
sugar in the Caribbean and Brazil brought in way more slave labour from
Africa than did cotton or tobacco in North America.
Some main points to keep in mind:
There is no One Drop Rule in Latin countries. So those who are mixed do not see themselves as black and look down on pure blacks. That means colourism runs deeper and yet there is more race mixing.Like America, Latin countries kept black slaves and so have racist beliefs about
blacks too. On the other hand, the law in Latin countries comes from
Roman law where slaves had certain rights, like buying their freedom or
taking their master to court. They were not mere property as in Anglo law.They freed their slaves but never went through a civil rights movement.
Racism: just as in America, black and mixed people have lower reading scores, die younger and are twice as likely to live in poverty.
Languages: Portuguese, Spanish, French, Creole.
Religion: most are Roman Catholics, though often
practised with African elements. Voodoo, Candomble and Santeria come
from African beliefs. Most black and mixed people outside of Africa are Catholic – something you would never guess from living in North America or the West Indies.
Music: Afro-Latinos have given the world new kinds of music, like jazz, merengue, salsa, mambo and samba.
Thats why Nixon created the term Hispanic. To keep Africans in this country , South America and islands hating each other. 80% of this planet are people of color and the number #1 is white genetic survival . Read Randall Robinson book on Haiti how the US government back the white Haiti power elite. Read and research , beloved. That is how they trick us
