One reason is because there are MANY white people born in Africa! I believe senator John Kerrys wife was born in Africa, she is now an American citizen. That makes her an African American but she has white skin. Here is an article of about a white skinned man born in Africa who is now an American citizen who is sewing his medical school for harassment after he called himself an African American. It's soooooo stupid because he is much more African American than most of the black people in this country. He was born in Africa
here is the article. http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=7567291&page=1

lol. jaja. i understand. stupid catgories. everyone mixed with something no one pure. lol.

I'm all for getting rid of race categories completely. As hyacinthee said we are all mixed. Genealogists say the first humans started in Africa and migrated out of africa to all parts of the globe. If you go back far enough we are all African decedents. These categories only serve to divide people not unite them. The way people are mixing these days soon we will all be tan. As far as I'm concerned if you were born here or were naturalized as an American citizen your American .

are you serious? they're usually dark skinned, so i wouldn't figure they'd let em get down. i know none of the sur siders i know would let a black person in (just being honest, not trying to be racist)

que pasa amigos? Tengo una pregunta, my friend and i are making some shirts and we wanted to know if we put congri chilosa would that be correct? Or would it be Chilosa congri? gracias!

I think may be: cangri chilosa... but what you mean to say??

We were trying to say a well respected sexy girl.

uffa, Im not so good at slangs, and Im not sure if "cangri chilosa" the appropriate sentence in such case.... maybe you can wait to someone expert can help you... someone like: BebeStyle... he is very good on it!

ok, gracias!

i've never heard chilosa befoe. are yall puerto rican?

I was thinking about this word too, never heard it (chilosa), could be from the words "chile, enchilosa" .... if so... could be: "picante"

you could say mamasota repetada (i think there's an 's' in that, but idk ckuz that's how i say it jaja)

what does "Dale" mean and what would be a close equivalent in english. DY uses that wourd alot.

Depends on how it's being used.....Dale means like go for it or do it.

like Dale sin miedo....Do it without fear

Dale que la noche es joven.....go for it because the night is young...

I've never heard of the word Chilosa before....that's new to me. I wouldn't really use the word "Cangri" to describe a female. Ladies started using that term to show that they were fans of Daddy Yankee and Nicky Jam (Los Cangris) so they called themselves Las Cangris. But Cangri means like the Man! like the untouchable...El Cangri...!!! ....But it was just used to show their loyalties to Daddy Yankee....just like now they call themselves la Jefas....because Daddy Yankee calls himself El Jefe...

but if you want to use the term...then you can simply just say...Las Cangris
