Why don't you go and spam African forums? In particular Liberian? They want nothing to do with being grouped together with African Americans. If you have something against Spain or the 'evil white man' don't involve us in your little racist idealogical war. Go try and hijack/claim other cultures/nationalities.

Now guys, here we go again. Do I have to start my own website to get the discussion I want without the jealousy, the stupid complaints and cry babies thinking its an alternative motive behind everything posted?

You guys want civil discussion, but what it on your own subject, your own terms. No opposing view points. You cry like "girlie" men to the site adminstrator about being hurt and offended. Toughin up and be the men you claim you are.

I'm here in the D.R. working, not on any sex mission. About my "former" website. It was sold years ago. I did'nt need to search for anyone to be posted on the website, they came to me. I'm Brasilian, we do'nt search for women, they are drawn to us. Which is why we are 200 million strong after some 400 yrs and the D.R. is simply 9-10 million strong.

Anyway, lets stay on topic. I simply want to know if there is a museum in the D.R. which is didicated to African ancestry in the D.R.? All the wise cracks and other comments is unnecessary.

It is definitely his own brand of something at least he is more interesting than the chilindrina-of-20,000-names.




I look forward to Bara's results! I'm especially interested in info on that first category, and yes info is scarce. Within my own family in the more African branch I have an uncle who says when our family arrived we were already Hispanicized black people. Those histories are a bit tough to investigate, and the waters are muddied by those on the side of the cosmic cult of pan-Africanism.

Proving the adage that even a broken clock is right twice a day in your veiled dismissal of our amerindian heritage there is a kernel of what perhaps is some truth. Many years ago I read a book that many of you might find interesting concerning the possible African presence in pre-Columbian America:

African presence in early America By Ivan Van Sertima
http://books.google.com/books?id=uziKYgZAVS0C&pg=PA50&dq=africans+in+pre-columbian+americas

Van Serima backs up his hypothesis with some pretty interesting facts.

It may not be far from the truth. According to research by JA Rogers there were many plantations being worked by African slaves in southern Spain well before Columbus' arrival in the New World and the first African slaves to arrive in the New World (naturally arriving in Hispaniola) were already hispanicized. Also, mulattoes were not uncommon in the Canary islands and many colonial Spanish officials complained to the crown that some of the immigrants being sent from said islands were not white but indeed mulattoes.

brasilia first impressions die hard. plenty of people on this site disagree. with your bombastic arrival you bought yourself a reputation. if now all of a sudden you are really interested in 'civil discussion' about Dominicans you have quite a road to undo the reputation.

besides you have never brought viewpoints. just like the chilindrina, who I see is back, you come on here yelling and accusing, cutting and pasting. NOW, after your tantrums and accusations, you want civil sharing of information

so by all means go start another website. those who posses a certain knowledge have evry right to be snobs and deamnd discussion on their terms. don't like the terms, march down to the bookstore and put down your plentiful cash.

but really you don't care and are just here to bait us. why not admit it and be honest?

1)Why was Brazil among the last to officially abolish slavery? Why were they the last to abolish the actual practice of slavery (which lasted much longer)?

2) Why are blacks or anyone of Afroadmixture practically absent in Brazilian television? Looking at Brazilian television is almost like looking at Portugese programming.

3) Why does Brazil hold one of the biggest gap between rich and poor?

4) Why did Brazil have an official blancamiento immigration policy to breed blacks out of existense?

1. Why did African Americans who immigrated to Liberia discriminate against the native Africans?

2. Why did African Americans set up a caste like system in Liberia in which they actively excluded native Africans from political power?

3. Why did African Americans insult/denigrate and basically dehumanize native Liberians? To the point that descendants of African Americans are called Americo-Liberians?

Don't even try to come here with any arrogant posturing you race obsessed troll, when it comes to race relations Brazil doesn't hold a candle to DR. Get off your imaginary high horse, your low level trolling and layman/wikipedia knowledge won't work here.

I will show you the museum, If you are so tough Mr. Troll, why don't you reveal your coordinates so we can locate you and have a nice chat mano a mano? Pendejón.

Cib,
Feel free to investigate his works, but just to let you know that guy has been discredited a thousand times over by many of his peers. He's an Afrocentrist, and like all other centrist will always present a very biased account.
