Where does "black" end and "Indian" begin....and vice versa???
-BLACK INDIANS by William Loren Katz(1986)Racial mixing was so common in Mexico that it became hard to tell by skin color who was free and who was slave. King Phillip complained that young Black Indians committed crimes and then dressed as Indians so that could "hide out with their mother's relatives and cannot be found."

-BLACK INDIANS by William Loren Katz(1986)This ideal of keeping slaves distant from their homes and families was crucial to having them under strict control. British merchants took Indians enslaved on the mainland and shipped them to the West Indies. This was the only safe way to enslave Native Americans, for bondage was only secure when its victims felt they had no one to turn to, no friends nearby.

Holy shitfest batman....Im totally ignoring the BULLSHIT Alvin has posted or better yet ask him for the millionth time what college (if any) he went to
anyways...........
bingo.
we all gotta look in the context of forced slave labor and the tough vast terrain South America imposed upon the Spanish/Portuguese colonists. Sugar is the horrid commodity as what cotton was for slaves in the Southern states. African slaves were needed mostly on the coasts and this is noticeable even in Brazil where the coastal areas would generally have the population with many african decendents but when you travel further into the Amazon just as you travel through the andes, its predominately native american. Remember, this was before trains, cars or airplanes so to ship thousands upon thousands of people into the interior of South America w/o them getting sick or dying of forced labor was redundant.
anytime bruv
The african influence is so profound in the Caribbean it becomes Alvin retarded when some Dominicans, Cubans and Puerto Rican deny its rich heritage. The characteristics in the syntax, prononciations, lexicon, double negation in grammar, reduction of the /s/ constanant is what makes Caribbean spanish so unique. Just thinking of the most famous Dominican dishes such as "mofongo" or "monodngo" and how it resonantes with africa alone is so obvious. Ironically, Dominican spanish is also frowned upon by many latinos as being too fast and viewed as "poor spanish" for whatever that means
When I took a latin american spanish class in college we studied alot of the works by prof John Lipski. He's a well respected author and expert on the cross cultural mixture of Spanish & Portuguese with African dialects.

Africanized Spanish

I want to also stress upon the fact that research into the Africanization of Spanish/Portuguese throughout Latin America is somewhat limited yet emerging with interesting findings. The question these scholars are investigating is how Africanization of spanish/portugese is developed and how to distinguish the time of migration from northern africa with the arabs mixing with the western african languages.
Remember, most of the trading with Spain occured down in the southern coast which was controlled by the (brace yourself) Moors for 700 years. The ships would head over to the Canary Islands to load up on supplies and slaves then head for the long journey across the atlantic. (Ask any Dominican or Cuban what they call a bus...."guagua". its origin is from the canary islands)
The Spanish court was based in Madrid and northern spain so when an offical was sent to Peru or any deep region of South America that offical was to 1st take almost a year to reach the location and then spend most of his life there. As opposed to the african spanish as spoken on the coasts the spanish these officials utilized has a distinctive characteristics of northern span which then was pased unto the natives in the region.
The usage of /vos/ in the south american dialect is pronounced mainly in these regions and not in many other areas.

-The American Race: A Linguistic Classification and Ethnographic Description of the Native Tribes ... (1901)by Daniel Garrison BrintonThe word Carib is frequently applied by the Spanish population to any wild tribe, merely in the sense of savage or wild. Thus on the upper Usumacinta the Lacandones, a people of pure Maya stock, are so called by the whites ; on the Musquito coast the uncivilized Ulvas of the mountains are referred to as Caribs. There are a large number of pure and mixed Caribs, probably five or six thousand, in British Honduras near Trujillo, but they do not belong to the original population. They were brought there from the island of St. Vincent in 1796 by the British authorities. Many of them have the marked traits of the negro through a mingling of the races, and are sometimes called " Black Caribs." The Rev. Alexander Henderson, who has composed a grammar and dictionary of their dialect, gives them the name Karifs, a corruption of Carib, and is the term by which they call themselves.

good points Lo
The Lipski book i mentioned on my earlier post goes into full detail about the lowland vs highland andean spanish spoken in peru. I can lend it out anytime youd like
yup
its funny how ive always been scolded by other latinos who want to exude their "superiority" in the form of spanish they speak as if it were the "pure" castilian form but when you speak to a spaniard from the south they'll tell you that those morons up north speak a crappy dialect themselves....and you sure as hell dont want to know what the Basque or Catalan region think of the rest of their countrymen

Kinda like a inner-race racism thing huh.
The things that I never knew OR were told by people i've met along the years that were from PR, DR, Cuba etc, interesting.
Diamond Member
yup. But, you cant blame alot of them though, theyve been conditioned all their lives to believe that they have no traces of african blood within them. Its funny seeing how some black dominicans would classify themselves as "dark inidan" when the native population on the whole island was wiped out within 50 years of Christopher Colombus landing there.

I once read somewhere that theres plenty Blacks in Argentina, but they're treated like shit nowadays...discriminated against, but seen as good fuck-mates.
Apparently during one of the world wars, Italian troops stationed there had a penchant for the Black women, out of all the other European troops stationed there..I guess they are pretty much hidden from the rest of the world.

Afro Argentine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Afro Argentine
Africano Argentino
Notable Afro Argentines:
Ramón Carrillo • Gabino Ezeiza • Higinio D. Cazón
Santiago Lovell • Fidel Nadal • Arturo Rodríguez
Total population
"Black": c. 52,000
"African ancestry": c. 2 million
(Roughly 0.1% of total Argentina's population)[1]
[2]
Regions with significant populations
Buenos Aires
Languages
Spanish language
Religion
Predominantly Roman Catholicism
Related ethnic groups
Afro-Latin American, Cape Verdean Argentines, Afro Brazilian, Afro-Uruguayan
The black population resulting from the slave trade during the centuries of Spanish domination of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata had a major role in Argentine history. Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it comprised up to fifty per cent of the population in some provinces and had a deep impact on national culture.
In the nineteenth century, it declined sharply in number as a result of the wars of Independence (most of the soldiers were black Argentine men), high infant mortality rates,low number of married blacks,the War of the Triple Alliance (most Argentine soldiers in this battle were black as well), cholera epidemics in 1861 and 1864, as well as a yellow fever epidemic in 1871.
By the late 1800s, the Afro-Argentine population was consisted mainly of women,and mixed with the European immigrants that arrived. With thousands of immigrants of Europe arriving to Argentine soil, and most black women intermarrying with them, noting that their populations were already low, the Afro-Argentine population faded into oblivion.
In 2006 there was a pilot census on this issue in the neighborhoods of Montserrat, in Buenos Aires, and in Santa Rosa de Lima, in Santa Fe, revealing that 5% of the Argentine population admits having ancestors of African descent and that an additional 20% believes it could share this ancestry but is not sure.
This research supports the claim by the Center for Genetic Studies of the School of Arts and Sciences of the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) that an estimated 4.3% of the people living in suburban Buenos Aires have genetic markers of African descent.[3][4] Today there is still a notable Afro-Argentine community in the Buenos Aires district of San Telmo.

don't both folks in Basque and Catalan consider themselves separate and apart from Spain itself? on the subject of purity, isn't it ironic that Spainiards brought African blood in their dna to the americas due to the Moor's conquest, so, regardless of whether a central american or south america has african slave ancestry they certainly have african ancestry regardlessgood points Lo

Even before even the italians came over to Argentina it was the afro-argentines that developed what eventually became the countries most notable export:
TANGO
"All sources stress the influence of the African communities and their rhythms, while the instruments and techniques brought in by European immigrants in the second half of the 20th century played a major role in its final definition, relating it to the Salon music styles to which Tango would contribute back at a later stage."
& in regards to Italians having a thing for African women....theyre notoriously known for that till this day. Every brothel owner knows to pimp their most dark skinned women to the Italian clients visiting Cuba or D.R.
yup! they do consider themselves seperate from the rest of Spain and what they point out is that their regions remained unconquered by the Moors hence they carry the "true, undiluted spanish blood".
down south; theyre very proud of their North African heritage. For over 700 years the Moors were in charge of most of the Iberian peninsula
Ironically, the moors were expelled in 1492 and that in turn gave the green light for Colombus to set his voyage to the "new world". This also explains why the Spanish soldiers, conquistadors and mercernaries who travelled to the Americas were such violent men was due to the fact that Spain was at war for 7 centuries so as soon as a new non christian target presented itself they murdered native americans with no problem. Its easy to kill someone if you dont consider them human in the 1st place.

wow, very interesting point about northern and southern attitudes about north african heritage, i noticed that there was a matter of fact quality regarding southern spain and north african, and indeed pride in the architecture and artistic quality left behind, but i thought it was limited to only that, thanks for clarifying that, which brings to mind the dichotomy between the racial resentment in central america and the racial pride in southern spain.Even before even the italians came over to Argentina it was the afro-argentines that developed what eventually became the countries most notable export:

If we assume, only on the strength of the work of artists, that in the region of Panama or thereabouts Negro elements were present as late as the post-Classic period, our view is well confirmed by an unequivocal document contained in the Decades of Pedro Martir d'Angliera written in the early sixteenth century. That the writings of Pedro Martir are practically unknown in English-speaking countries is probably due to the fact that there are no modern critical English translations of this primary historical source.
In his third Decade, Chapter II, dealing with the exploration of Vasco Nunez de Balboa of the Isthmus of Panama and under the heading "Ethiopian tribes," he writes:
There they met Negro slaves from a region only two days in distance from Caruaca, where nothing else but Negroes are bred, who are ferocious and extraordinary cruel. They (the explorers) believe that in former times Negroes, who were out for robbery navigated from Ethiopia and, being shipwrecked, established themselves in those mountains. The inhabitants of Caruaca have internal fights full of hatred with these Negroes. They enslave each other mutually or just kill each other.-UNEXPECTED FACES IN ANCIENT AMERICA: 1500 B.C.-A.D.1500 by Alexander von Wuthenau (1975)Similar testimony is given by the Dominican Fray Gregorio Garcia (1554-1637), who in the latter part of the sixteenth century spent nine years in Peru and three in Mexico. In his book Origen de los Indios en el Nuevo Mundo (Madrid, 1607 and 1729), which is practically unknown and hardly ever cited by historians, he mentions that the Spaniards saw Negroes for the first time on an island off the shore of Cartagena Columbia. "Here were the slaves of the chief, Negroes, which were the first ones our people saw in the Indies."
