Biracial Latinos?

So reading around the web and I came across this video from Mun2 about the challenges of being a biracial Latino from a celebrity perspective. http://24wired.tv/27044/biracial-actors-discuss-the-challenges-of-being-black-and-latino/

I feel like I struck gold!!

I know that I am one of the million of Dominicans/ Latinos that always get asked "Are you black? Are you Spanish mixed with Black?" ALL OF THE TIME. (Let's not talk about explaining that Spanish people come from Spain.) It was a relief to find that people like Soledad O'Brien to Laz Alonso, face the same questions routinely.

It makes me happy to see that this discussion is not taboo, or at least getting further away from it. I believe that growing up here in New York has made me embrace my Afro Latina roots and the opportunity to explore the qualities that nationalities share in reference to race. The more we talk about it the more we can form a tighter unity and bond as a people.

Hello great blog! Does running a blog like this require a lot of work?
I have absolutely no understanding of programming but
I was hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyways, if you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
