ARGENTINA SOCCER SUPPORTERS- READ THIS

This excellent article about how much Argentina soccer players and the Argentinians in general hate black people is a revelation.
In the West Indies, many support Argentina soccer and I wonder if we really understand that country.
The song was first sung after the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, where Argentina defeated France on penalty kicks, and some of the lyrics are: “Listen, spread the word; they play for France, but they come from Angola. How lovely they run! They are ‘cometravas’* like that F#%er, Mbappe. Your mom is Nigerian, and your dad is Cameroonian, but their passport says nationality in French. (Cometravas is a slang term used in Argentina that roughly translates to someone who has sex with transgender people.).
What is truly amazing about the song and shows exactly how deep the racist hatred of the Argentines towards the Black French players is the stunning fact that their team had just won their second consecutive Copa America Championship by narrowly defeating Columbia, another team 80% black, 1-0, but chose to direct their unwarranted prejudice towards a team thousands of miles away and playing in an entirely different tournament!
They hate black peoples

that Argentinian culture has a deep racist undercurrent. I've seen some Argentine films from the 60s,70s and even into the early 2000s where the racism is so overt and clumsy that its actually funny. The first piece of prominent argentine literature, an epic poem called Martin Fierro is about a racist mestizo cowboy who fights the Indians at the borders and kills a black man in a drunken stupor outside a tavern. It is also noteworthy that quite a few gemans and nazis migrated to Argentina in the late 1800s to the early 1950s.
That being said, Argentine women absolutely love dark skin men. I had some friends who went there and they said they had a "great time" so its not as simple as Jim Crow, bash anything that is black racism. And the tango is a very African musical style, even though it doesn't sound typically African

All the Argentinians I know are doubling down think Black people are too sensitive. They echo the sentiments of some of their officials.
As for respect, do you even respect yourself? You seem to respect people who hate your skin more than those who want to take them down.

Argentina had as much slaves as places such as Uruguay. Why you don't or hardly see their descendants?
a. Black men were used as cannon fodder in their wars and then the women were impregnated many unwillingly by the majority race.
b. They were shoved into ghettoes and exposed to disease
c. Most of who still have African heritage if the features are not readily noticeable, they are either cowed into not or are ashamed of admitting it.
