Oh my God.

The black boy with a white soul:

“The black lamplighter’s skin is so black! His face looks so dark among the fog!”

The black lamplighter is contented regardless. His friends are the fireflies who compare themselves to his lamp.

Then one day as he slept, his guardian angel showed him the color of his soul. He could not believe it! The black lamplighter had a white soul. A soul that was as white as the whitest dove in the town square.

Now he doesn’t care if there’s fog tonight. He sings:

“My skin may be black, but my soul is white like a daisy!”

Frog: now the black boy’s happy and the story’s over!

Everything to do with the USA’s own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we’re also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you’d like as long as it’s about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don’t forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here’s a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

“But what about that latin american kid I’ve met in college who said that all the left has ever done in latin america has been bad?”
