This is the same as asking if Americans have Black in them! The answer is some do and some don't. Puerto Ricans are people born on the island but their ancestors come from all over the world. Now most but not all Puerto Ricans have some African ancestry. DNA studies are showing that the average range of Afican quantum is 12 to 25% or within an eighth to a fourth African ancestry. Of course we also have people of Full African Ancestry with no mix but it appears to only be 2% of the total population.

Are puertoricans black?
No, Puerto Ricans are NOT White. This question would be similar to asking, "Are Americans White?" No! Some Puerto Ricans are White, some are Black, and some are considered Hispanic. If you actually visit Puerto Rico, you will see many Black people. Puerto Ricans are NOT only or mostly White and Native American. The Puerto Ricans that were named only PARTIALLY represent Puerto Ricans. That is NOT what all Puerto Ricans look like. This type of mindset is what causes most Americans to believe that all Latinos are the same! There are MANY Black Latinos -- Puerto Ricans included. Some of you would probably pass them in the street and just think they were Black Americans. Even Hispanic and White Latinos are guilty of this.
