Argentina’s Black Population
In 2001, a black Argentine woman attempted to board a plane to Panamá when immigration officials denied her boarding because they did not believe her passport was real. These officers, her own countrymen, told her that her Argentine passport couldn’t be hers because she is black. These immigration officers are not alone. Many Argentines have been quoted as saying, no hay negros en Argentina (there are no blacks in Argentina). I, like so many others, not only believed this to be true, but are clueless to the fact that the famous Argentine Tango music and dance had its beginnings in Afro-Argentine barrios (ghettos).
It has been well over a century since Argentina reflected the African racial ancestry in its census count, but according to the organization Africa Vive (Africa Lives), it’s been calculated that there are about 1,000,000 African descendents in Argentina. The 2010 census introduced the African ancestry survey.

Things no one tells you:
Having sex doesn’t make you a whore.
Not having sex doesn’t make you a saint.
You don’t have to have kids if you don’t want to.
You are the only person who has rights over your body.
You are no one to judge others.
“Femininity” is not anti-feminist. 
Verbal harassment is not flattery. 
If something makes you uncomfortable, you don’t have to endure it.
You don’t owe anything to anyone.
