RE: Taino Ancestry Among Dominicans
Well, I've read a lot of these posts.
I have a suggestion:
Let's all call ourselves Earthlings & be done with it!
For all the nit-pickers, I am a neat mixture of:
Cree Indian
Scotch
Irish
Ukranian
Polish.
So, that makes me an Earthling.
WORKS FOR ME!
Have fun.

Your personal identity is as simple as YOU want it to be.
Everyone else that has a problem with it, that's THIER problem, not yours.
Yours in unity,
Tommy.

Tommy as a fellow Canadian I find your attitude admirable and recall many of your previous posts always have a very positive spin I also remember you talking about your Cree origins ....That always made me feel a tinge of guilt for the way your people have been treated by Canada... I know you look forward to your trips to the DR and if you move here to retire I know you will be an asset to this country with your very positive attitude

Tommy correct sentiments, and not far from what Baracutei and others here have said regarding identity and identification. unfortunately when one chooses to discuss this private matter on a public forum, one draws the attention of individuals with problems who haven't grown up to the point where they realize this. THEIR problem becomes your problem insofar as you answer their public challenges and insults.

and also although you have an admirable and diverse list of heritages there I notice it lacks any African ... believe it or not when this ancestry happens to be on your list things suddenly become 'complex' for a whole ton of people. sad but true.

true. There are no Europeans, Native Amerindians or Middle Eastern trolls dissecting us under a racial microscope to see how much is black, how much is white, etc. lol

I am on vacation for the next two weeks. Can't wait to get out of work in exactly one hour!
I hope to join in these discussions when I return. There is one question that I have been meaning to ask.................WHAT IS A TROLL? Other than the gnome like creatures, what does it mean?
All the best!
