"Se convirtió en negro" ?

Question

Foreros!

I received a Facebook response to a post but I don't understand the sense. It's from an Ecuadorian:

bien richie cuando leas esto tú sólo tú vas a entender se convirtió en negro 2 que penita

Could anyone help please?

Thanks!

Answer 1

isn ´t ´Se convirtió en negro 2´ the sequel to ´Se convirtió en negro 1´? With Jim Carey and Mike Myers? Well, maybe not.

The post clear states that Only Richie, only him, will understand it

Just to add some information, according to some sad statistics ¨ser negro en Ecuador implica ganar un tercio menos que el resto de la población¨.

So maybe he´s earning below the living wage (too).

Answer 2

Could it be like a translation of Metallic - fade to black (someone becoming/depressed - falling into a 'black hole' etc)???

oh, great song! but I really doubt it´s the answer. - mediterrunio, Oct 11, 2010

Answer 3

In Argentina, "negro" is also used as a derogative term for low educated/rough people. Maybe it's the same in Ecuador.

Answer 4

Seems like only Ricie is meant to understand this.

The strange expression can be taken to mean either:

"it turned to black 2"(what a shame)

or

"he became black 2" 2"(what a shame)

I reckon you need to ask Richie for clarification...

Yup, I think you're right!! - silverlake, Oct 11, 2010
