Should there be a distinction between "African-American" and "Afro-Latinx"?

1 Question and answer 1. Words used to describe Afro-Latinx are sometimes considered impolite, like Negro, Prieto, Moreno. There is varying agreement on labels like "Afro-Americano," Afro-Descendiente," "black," "negro." 2. Should there be a distinction between "African-American" and "Afro-Latinx"? Should people from different countries be free to describe themselves as "Afro-Puerto Rican," "AfroColombian," "Garífuna," "Dominicano Negro"? 3. What is the benefit for Afro-descended or black people with roots in Latin America to hold onto cultural characteristics like the use of the Spanish language or the participation in Latin American cultural expression? 4. Have you heard of the expression "Too black to be Latino, Too Latino to be black?" 5. How does the Afro-Latinx identity intersect with women's and LGBTQ identities? There should be a distinction between "African-American" and "Afro-Latinx" people because they are not one and the same. African-Americans should be limited to black-American who are born in the US, have no ancestry in Latin America or any other country outside the US (Hatzipanagos, 2020). Afro-Latinx would include black people who speak Latin or trace their ancestry in Latin America.
