soledad_obrienCNN's Soledad O'Brien continues to hype her upcoming Latino In America special set to air tonight, when it's not Hispanic Heritage Month™. She spoke to My Latino Voice about what we can expect. Highlights:
  • "Dr. Raul Ruiz managed to pay for UCLA by making a contract with his community, asking people to donate $20, $10, $50. Went on to Harvard to get three degrees."
  • "We don't do Afro Latinos, at all. We don't do gay latinos. It's only four hours."
  • "Garcia's number 8 on this list of [top] ten American names. Every time you tell that story, people gasp. To me that was a metaphor for where we are in this country right now."
  • "You literally cannot walk down the street with [Edward James Olmos] without him signing autographs for little boys and their mothers."
  • Watch the video because who knew she sounds like JLo off the air?

    "We don't do Afro-Latinos": That's weird, cause they're interviewing her on the radio right now, and they just played a clip of a 17 year old kid (I missed his name) who self-identifies as Afro-Latino (apparently, even Soledad identifies as Afro-Latina, which surprises me a little).

    So, remember Blacks and Gays, Soledad says there's not enough time for you! Sorry!

    Soledad O'Brien is an Afro-Latino and she's the host. This Latino category is waaay too big.

    well no one really has the time to stay glued to the t.v for such bullshit programs that focus on the stupid lives of illegal immigrants who should be deported to their country , Her citizenship should also be reviewed , i feel she is just another poor , gold digging ,opportunist latino just like every other latino trying to mess American values

    I hope this is just the beginning too for both Latino in America and Black in America or just the start of the "In America" series period....
