I know a lot of my readers don’t speak Spanish, so I’ll give you the cliff notes, translated version.

#1 I’m shocked Univision got a Black Latino person to interview him. Really, I’m shocked. But I hear the guy who interviewed him has been with the station for a while and is pretty good.

#2 Sosa acted like he was promoting this skin cream as a business the way he didn’t want to reveal its name. He just said it was from Europe.

#3 He skirted the question on the green eyes and trying to look like some guy from Milan with his hair like that.

#4 He said he wasn’t racist. What the hell does being racist have to do with any of this? He’s a self-loather and not a racist. He has African ancestry whether he speaks Spanish or not – plain and simple.

#5 Last, but not least, the interviewer (who I commend for the most part) asked him whether he was “orgulloso” (to be proud of) of being Black. Part one of the interview ended without him answering that, but you can see by his facial movements that he was caught off guard and doesn’t consider himself that.

I won’t post part two because I’ve given this fool too much attention. He’s disappointed not only me, but all those kids in Dominican Republic who are his skin color and around Latin America/Caribbean who deal with discrimination because they are darker than others.

I tried to not be bothered by this, but it’s hard when this issue has directly affected you.

The issue of color, color, color…

Update:

Part 2 is just a joke as the interviewer was soft on him and Sammy said he’s in love with his African roots. Blah, blah, blah.
