Also those ‘cuban women in Virginia’ he mentioned who helped in the american revolution? Bitch they were slave owners. White Cubans also helped in the confederacy during the US civil war bc they wanted to preserve slavery in Cuba : )
“I WANT HEROES!!!” THEN LOOK AT LATIN AMERICA FOR THEM. THEY ARE THERE.
So many came to my mind, he was mentioning all that shit about USA generals with Spanish surnames and barely mentioned Bolivar at the end, I was like….bitch, give me Micaela Bastidas,Tupac Amaru II, Artigas, Delimira Agustini, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Allende, Isabel Allende, Rigoberta Menchú, Juana Azurduy,…….
Our history is so rich and complex and brutal, and he did that….ridiculed it and turned it into another Hollywood shit…. What you think we depend on the US to have our heroes?? Are you so delusional that you believe the history of Latin America be that of the US and not its own?
I truly hate him
If I might add some other Latin American heroes… María Remedios del Valle, Sgto Juan Bautista Cabral, Mariano Moreno, Juan José Castelli, Manuel Belgrano, José de San Martín, Atahualpa Yupanqui, Mercedes Sosa, Jorge Cafrune, there are so many historical (and also cultural) figures pivotal to Latin American and respective Latin American countries history to choose from, to uplift. Like srsly, he didn’t even try.
José Martí, Augusto Sandino, Rubén Darío, Antonio Maceo, Mariana Grajales Cuello, Toussaint L’ouveture, Pedro Albizu Campos, Víctor Jara, Cécile Fatiman, Violeta Parra, Dutty Boukman, Maximo Gomez ….etc etc etc!!!!
LIKE!!!!!! HEWWO!!!!! THEY ARE THERE!!!!
Continue the list everyone, let’s make latine history and our heroes truly known!
Remember when Zumbi dos Palmares and Dandara started refugee zones for enslaved black people in Brazil who ran away from slavery? Heroes
