A study about afro-dominican roots

[BigMan]

One example is when saying 'a little'

'Un chin' is Spanish

'un poquito' is taino

Depending on where u are it's used interchangeably.

Different items too are referred to with taino words like conuco(woods) batata(sweet potato) cassabe (cassava)

Places too like San Pedro de 'macoris' which was a tribe or something I believe. Thats a city in DR. Azua, nagua, etc

Dr itself is sometimes referred to as quisqueya.

Everybody knows how much Dominicans love plantains which is an African food that came over with the slaves, but few people mention the food that is always on the plate with plantains which is yuca aka cassava which was a staple of all indigenous people's diets. We also eat alot of cassava bread.

My mother's maiden name is Ynoa which is a taino word meaning poison.

The Dictionary of the Taino Language

Genetically speaking it may be nearly extinct but culturally it isn't.

The Dictionary Of The Taino Language

Maybe 40 to 50 percent of those words are regularly used in DR.

UN poquito is Taino? Never knew that

No such thing as "Afro-Dominican"...Dominicans are black people.

Afro-Latino, yes.

Afro-Dominican does not exist. Dominicans are black people who speak Spanish.

Dominicans are mostly mulattos. And there are plenty white Dominicans

Mulattos are black and white....

Black and White are RACES...your race is based off "looks".

Which is why there can NEVER be "Afro-Dominican" or "Euro-Dominican"


...it's either Afro-Latino or just Latino. Or White (Spanish speaking)



I swear Hispanics as a people make shyt so fukking complicated...anything to avoid being black or Latino.

I don't get it, ain't that the diminutive of poco? That's a spanish word.

Just no...I've learned that you can't always project American views of race on every situation

I don't give a fukk either way... I've learned that Hispanics are fukking leeches to American society.

They don't enhance American society in no type of way.

Don't worry, I'll wait....

Dominican swag just makes too much sense now. The blacks of Latin America, impossible to be anything like the swagless Mexicans.
