I saw this novela when I was very young, but I remember it as if it were yesterday.....I cried for la nana Merced, for the little girl, for Juan Carlos and specially for Ana Luisa for being so messed up and prejudiced.

"Angelitos Negros" fue una de las grandes telenovelas en la historia de las telenovelas Mexicanas. Quien no la recuerda para los 70's.

This movie always makes me cry every time I see it. Well not this one the 1948 one with Pedro Infante. This movie is so sad cause I think of it as if I was Belen and I feel bad because Im the same color as her. Im puerto rican but my mom is a white skined puertorican and my dad is a black skined puerto rican and I would feel really bad if my own mother rejected me because of the color of my skin (Im trigueñita-right in the middle of black and white skin). This movie is great!!!
