My contribution to the Latinegr@s project with samples of 9+ years of blogging

Bianca Laureano (@BiancaLaureano) has started culling contributions by blatinos (my word for Latinegros) in a Tumblr blog. Here's the description:

As the formal US focus on Black History Month (February 1-28/9) is upon us we seek to celebrate all of the peoples who have influence and history via the African Diasporas. Expanding the inclusively of Black History Month is a goal for several of us, self-identified LatiNeg@s, Afro-Latinos and Afro-Caribeños. As people who recognize and claim the African heritage and history, we have often been excluded from US History, whether it be Black history or Latino history (Septermber 15-October 15). Join us in honoring and recognizing LatiNegr@s this year during Black and Latino History Month. We are Black, Latino and from the Caribbean. We REPRESENT!

Please share any images, videos, quotes, websites, links etc. you'd like to include on this page. Go to http://lati-negros.tumblr.com/submit to submit what you'd like to contribute.

Am more than happy to oblige with samples from 6 of the almost 10 years I have been blogging. This is not all of it, follow the keyword links at the bottom of each post to find more artciles in the archives:

There are no racists in mainstream media.

The audacity of biracial hope
Not just a negro but a mulatto in the White House.
