Diamond Baby I love how you not only showed a childish mindset with your hostility, but stupidity as well. Let me educate you on why It was called Boriken, it’s because it was named by the indigenous taínos which in English means “Land of the valiant lord”. The name came from the Taino-Arawak people, The terms “Boricua” and “Borinqueño” derive from the words “Boriken” and “Borinquen”respectively. And are commonly used to identify someone who is or has Puerto Rican descent. There are still Puerto Rican’s today who call our lovely land “Boriken” today, please educate yourself next time your hostility decides to overpower your ego.

 Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

Correcto, la legislación española que reglamentaba la esclavitud partia del reconocimiento que el esclavo era un ser humano, con alma, y no una cosa u objeto (Re en latin) coso lo entendia la esclavitud anglosajona, y que tenia una condición de siervo, que podia ser retrotraida. Entre otras obligaciones de sus amos estaba el derecho a que los Domingos por la mañana podia ir a Misa y por las tardes ir a las fincas vecinas a bailar Bomba. Para el 22 de marzo de 1873, dia de la emancipación, según el Censo vivian en PR 150,000 personas negras o pardas, de las que solo eran esclavos 25,000. En PR hubo negros adinerados que fueron dueños de esclavos, ejemplo, el papa de Campeche y Don Miguel Henriquez que poseía 500.

I was three weeks old when my parents moved to Puerto Rico. Learned to swim as an infant in a tide pool at Crash Boat Beach before I could walk. I actually remember, at 3 years old, the beautiful flowers on the trees and the many people who stopped walking to pinch my chubby pink cheeks. Que lindo, they said. I'm 66 years old now and I still long to splash in the ocean tide pools of Puerto Rico's Crash Boat Beach! It is like a sense or body memory. Wonder what its like now. Unfortunately, I now live in dry, hot, relentless cactus Arizona. Hate it, but love mi familia!

Jerome Theseus Oh yes, Spaniards have a lot of influence throughout the Caribbean and all over the west. You're so right about that. It doesn't have that much here in Louisiana though. French and West African are the main influences in Louisiana which is kind of sweet. I love French cuisine and the arrogance lol. That's a nice mix of your parents :).

 Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

One thing that people on both sides need to understand is that our histories are different. Blacks in the US were largely a minority, oppressed even after slavery. Blacks in the US had to create a very strong black identity because it was a form of survival. While that isn't to say there are no issues of racism in the caribbean and south america, black culture was widely accepted as a general part of Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban, and Brazilian culture, so the need to a strong sense of 'blackness' was not as prevelant. This is why US blacks have a hard time understanding latin american blacks because latin american blacks are more than aware of their african roots, however they don't have a need to cling so strongly to a black identity that US blacks do.
