In Response To: BLACKS ATTACKED IN COLOMBIA: RACISM IN LATIN AMERI (Pianke Nubiyang)

This posting is utter nonsense. Whilst the problem you are trying to highlight is valid, your facts are highly incorrect. There are not 200 million blacks in Latin America. The figure is around 20 million. Evidence for African migration to Latin America before Columbus is very thin and concentrated on the finding of stone carved monuments, which some interpret as having black features. They in fact have features of the local native americans.
The "Moors" who ruled Iberia for 800 years came from "Morocco" and were not black. True, they included some blacks, but only a small number. These armies were predominantly north african Berbers, and whose leaders were predominantly semitic Arabs.

Nonetheless, there is a massive massive racism problem in Latin America, not just against blacks, but also against the native tribes, which occurs on a larger scale since there are more of them.

Highlight this problem, but please don't fantasise history from your perspective, or partition racism as just a problem for blacks - that kind of defeats the whole point.
