my friend i suggest that you look up the island of dominica and st vincent there are still full blood amerindian people living on these islands. and jamaica has a lot of mixed people. in the english speaking caribbean the majority of the population is of african descent or mixed african and european, east indian and mixed east indian and african, white and small groups of chinese exist.

but most have a pro black culture not african. as for me my father is mixed with african and east indian, my mother is scottish, african and portuguese so what does that make me? i still see my self as black due to my culture, not african. and in the english speaking caribbean the british used the one drop rule in the past so many people who could past as white was still called black. my parents were born in grenada and up till today i know places where in grenada where 90 percent of the population is white scottish grenadians or east indians and they have been there for 150 years

A project done for a college course two weeks ago. Uploading this because there are hardly any videos about the Taino language. Unfortunately, I can't pronounce a lot of these words correctly (and my Professor didn't require it), so there's background music.

Some of the words are used in Puerto Rican spanish, especially in the Jibaro dialect (from the rural areas). Some words are also variations of Taino dialects from other islands of the caribbean such as Cuba, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic/Haiti. You'll probably be surprised that some of the words from the language are used in the English language today (hurricane and barbeque are one of them). Most of these words are from the sites The Dictionary of the Taino Language, Taino Words , and Indigenous Languages of the Caribbean, and from the book Anacaona: Golden Flower:

troy you make a fine distinction here. since you are black, and not African, doesn't that imply that some others can be African yet not be culturally black? can some be black without having African heritage?

You're taking race a little too literally. Indians are not straight-haired blacks, rather, dark skinned whites.
