As far as Camilla her comments were not taking out of context, she talked about being from Cuba and invoked dreamers in the same sense anyone does these days when speaking of immigration. She was the wrong person to give this speech as she has expressed racist sentiments before including referring to her bandmates by the n word. I don't expect anyone to know this, I just found out myself when the backlash occurred. Racism and colorism exists even in marginal immigrant communities. I've seen it on here many times and in real life and its sad and disgusting.
Finally, please stop being hyperbolic, the opinions of some do not speak on a community as a whole. Using your example Chamillionaire is African American and reached out to help a family and I applaud him as many in the African American community have. Focusing on the minority of people, claiming its a lot? Maybe you should ask yourself why your thoughts went there to begin with. Maybe you have a problem with "them".

I hope in the future when reading an article you actually READ on who posted the ARTICLE. As far as Camilla goes, she said what she needed to say, people need to stop being sensitive and stop taking her comment out of context, let’s not try to make something is NOT! Geez! She made one comment and all of a sudden snow flakes popping out everywhere!
Secondly I never said he entire black community speaks for everyone, so where did you get that? Stop trying to make something is not, you’re no victim, no one is!
