      @Joyride37 Год назад +21

      We have a ton of history but our schools don't teach any of it unfortunately -- Agueybana I and II were Boriken caciques and lead rebellions against the Spanish. In Ayiti, the cacique Anacaona was hanged alongside 50 other caciques or so by the Spanish, and her nephew Enriquillo later lead a successful rebellion against the Spanish for 30ish years, until the Spanish gave up because it was too expensive to keep fighting. Enriquillo and his people were given autonomous lands as a result. Unfortunately, after he died the lands were taken back. Many taino fled to Boriken during the initial Spanish colonization of Ayiti after relations turned sour (Anacaona did lead some years of peace between Taino and Spanish and there was even mutual marriages but it didn't last).
      El Yunque is related strongly to Yucahu -- the Taino zemi (ancestor/god spirit) of the yuca. The name literally means "breath of yuca". A common zemi figurine of Yucahu looks strongly like one of the mountains in El Yunque. Jibaro means country or mountain person now, sometimes means being old fashioned in a negative way, but its original meaning in Taino is most likely something like "person of the forest".
      We love our flag because the Gag Law of 1948-1957 made it a crime to possess or display the flag (as well as talk about independence or sing patriotic tunes), even in your own homes. Federal forces would raid people's homes, children would be arrested in protests, and people found guilty had to pay a fine of $10,000, or be sentenced to 10 years in prison. The first Puerto Rican Pride Parade was in 1958 once the law was ruled unconstitutional.
      Bomba itself is our oldest song and dance, the next Plena, and is directly from our African ancestors and Afro Boricuas who maintained as much of their culture as they could despite centuries of enslavement (PR did not abolish slavery until 1873). PR culture is heavily influenced by West African roots bc many African ethnic groups brought over were from the Yoruba, Igbo, and Bantu speaking groups, and some others.
      Salsa was born in New York with Boricua and Cuban immigrants bringing their music and mixing it together.
      The segregated PR unit, the 65th Infantry Regiment (Borinqueneers) fought in almost every major battle of the Korea War, and covered the retreat the Marines during Chosin Reservoir. All despite the racism they suffered from the military and the Gag Law their families were under back home. The unit was awarded the congressional gold medal for its service.
      Our history has much sadness, but there is a unifying core of resistance no matter what, and the blending of cultures to make new ones.

      Me too. I think it's the realization that our ancestors *would* be proud of us. There's a lot of people who say that our ancestors would be disappointed in us because we're "weak" or "soft". More likely, they'd be glad we don't have to worry about if we'll survive the winter, that we can all read and go to school, that we don't have to fight over territory or food just to survive. I used to worry that my great-grandfather would be disappointed in me before I realized that we do a lot of the same things; painting, map-drawing, teaching people, speaking German.... Hell, my Germanic ancestors are probably going nuts rn! 🤣 "Look! He's learning our language despite living across the ocean and a landmass much larger than ours!

      Genealogist nerd here, its actually not hard to find out! If you can find any information about the oldest dead relative you know (Grandparents or Great Grandparents work well) you can actually search Family history websites like My Heritage or Ansestry where many family trees have been pieced together going up hundreds or even a thousand years. Even approximate data is very searchable and census records in the US are available to the public up into 1950.

    A person should never feel like a failure for having a c-section. My mom laboured for hours with my older sister but didn't dilate, started having seizures that almost cost her her life and had an emergency c-section. She is one of the strongest people I know and is the opposite of a failure. Either way you grew a whole new human being for 9 months, literally created life from nothing but a few cells, having to have your child cut out so that you get to raise it doesn't make you a failure, being willing to go through a huge operation to bring your child into the world is something incredible in its own right. Both ways of birth are amazing and deserve respect

    Damn, most of these are so wholesome, I love it, very refreshing! 🥲Reminds me of another wholesome post someone made about how people that say "what would your/our ancestors think of you/us now?" are wrong because our ancestors would probably be really happy and proud of us living comfortable lives, in what they would consider back then to be luxury. Well, those of us who are fortunate enough to live in relatively wealthy countries and who are middle-class, at least. I hope someday we can all live comfortable lives in safe, fairly affluent societies. It saddens me that there are starving children out there, people without homes, and women still living in oppressive cultures where they are considered the property of men. Places where people are still suffering. Until such a day comes that are all equitable and free, our work is not yet done.
    Also the c-section one hit me hard. I was delivered via c-section, I might not have survived otherwise and it could've also put my mother in danger. Ladies who have had or may one day have to have a c-section, please please do NOT ever see yourselves as failures! You did/are doing what is best for yourself and your child, so don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise! And fuck anyone who says that c-sections are somehow inferior or in any way wrong, and also fuck anyone that makes a mother feel bad for not breastfeeding or tries to pressure a mother into breastfeeding! People can't always breastfeed after a c-section, and there are many other reasons why women can't/don't want to breastfeed either. There's nothing wrong with formula feeding or doing a mixture of both, research has shown there is little difference in the growth and development of children who were breastfed vs those who weren't (I was formula-fed myself) so fuck anyone who says otherwise.

    The Nath is very special and specific to a particular province/community, we Hindus can easily tell the province or place a woman belongs to, based on her nath. Earlier, every Hindu women compulsorily wore them, but it has faded since the 1900s and is only seen now in our traditional Hindu festivals, ceremonies like marriages etc and both Hindu men and women could wear them historically though the men ones are now very rare and they are not very elaborate as like women.
