Cyn Santana sat down for an interview where she attempted to clear up her 2016 remarks about Black women preferring Latina women and treating them better.
“I just like Black guys and Spanish girls,” she said on Angela Yee’s Lip Service Podcast. “Y’all can keep the Puerto Rican men, I’m good. I do Black guys all day, sorry. I did the Spanish thing… doesn’t work out for me. I think they’re too emotional.”
“Black guys cater to us Spanish girls, especially,” she continued. “Like, they… you know what, let me not get into it. Black girls gonna take it personal. They gonna be like, ‘Uhh uhh!’ Anyway, I’m done with the papis.”
As you can imagine, Black women did not take kindly to her remarks, but on The Real, she explained herself.
“I think what happened was, we were talking about our experiences with men and different men, races, and ethnicities and comparing our experiences,” she told the ladies. “I think what happened was I poorly articulated myself and I irresponsibly repeated something that I heard my entire life.”
Cyn continued: “This is a tough moment for me. I feel like I poorly articulated myself, and I irresponsibly repeated something that I heard throughout my teenage years, which was the whole, ‘Oh, Black men love Spanish women or Latinas, you know.’ And I think people took that message wrongly. That’s not what I meant.”
Y’all forgive her?
