Don't forget our black people . We have black "asentamientos " to this day . Take a look at Guayama , Pińones and other areas mostly black . We are proud of our black roots .
Translate to the Human Race, GOD Created us All Even the Reptilian Blood line isn’t Pure…. The only exception to a pure DNA, are those who were created in Frankenstein labs Who Are not real Humans .
In Puerto Rico we don't distinguish too much about black or white and we don't go with all the racist that you have in America, and we try as much as possible not to carry that perception to the island, because it ruins everything including our beauty.
A large population of Puerto Rican people migrate to Hawaii to work in the sugar cane industry. There's a lot of Hawaiian mixed Puerto Ricans now how interesting ❤
@@williamgonzalez6239They also make this plate they call pastele mesdura (mestura) which they use the masa of the pastel And serve it with as gravy with rice and Mac salad. Something I wish we would have invented because is so good. They also have honto rice (arroz junto). Every party they will have pastele and gandule rice.
I disagree with the percentages of Puerto Rican English language speakers on the island. As an English professor at a known university on the island for the past 14 years, I have consistently taught courses (Basic, Intermediate and Advanced English, also English in the Business Environment) where 40 % to 50% of my students in each class speak English at an intermediate or advanced level. Most of these students have never lived in the continental U.S. but have learned English through K-12th grade English courses which are mandatory here on the island and through social media, cable, streaming services and movies (think Marvel, DC and others). I do not live near the metropolitan area (San Juan) which has a higher concentration of bilinguals, even so, many of the students are from rural towns nearby and speak the language. They understand that knowledge of the language opens doors of opportunity for them.
My question is should I move there? I’m now in danger of a national emergency announcement by the lgbt community. Im already in Florida which was the first to be in a state of emergency from that and the NAACP. I have friends there so I will definitely visit first, but it sounded nice.
@@kellykerr5225Before deciding to move anywhere you should visit and see if you like the vibe, the culture and the people. I suggest you visit the San Juan area because there is large bilingual population and there is plenty to do there for visitors. We are very welcoming, so you should have a great visit.
@@mayragarcia675 oh I definitely want to visit first. I’m waiting for my friends to get settled in and then I will visit. There are many RUclipsrs who give pros and cons to living places, or they live there and show everything. It would definitely be easier to move somewhere that I understand the language.
I'm not surprised ppl still think that we are 'ignorant'...some even think Puerto Rico is a 3rd world country...and dont know we are part of the U.S...we are truly invisible...js
I was born on the island. My father was a Cañarían and my mother was a Taino. I moved to the US mainland when I was 2 years of age. I learned English in the USA. What a beautiful culture we are. Viva Borinquen🇵🇷
@@lauratorres6039 You my dear are a closet Puerto Rican!! LOL " You say " My parents are Puerto Rican but I'm from Spain'" You have serious issues and self loathing . The word is Canariana not Cañarían you are no Canariana.
@lauratorres6039 I believe you when you say that your father was from the Canary Islands. My grandfather on my mother's side was Spaniard on both sides, and his family came from the Canarys. But as to your mother being full blooded Taino, that can not be. The reason for that is based on historical facts. Tainos mixed with other groups within the island, and many died of illness, venereal disseases, brought by the Spanish to Puerto Rico. Also, Tainos were forced into hard labor by the Spanish. In other words, they were mistreated to the point of death. Not only that, but the Taino diet was altered with pork and others, exposing their system to diseases. The original Taino diet consisted of fish, Casabe, corn, and fruits. So, all this contributed to the Taino presence on the island to be diminished. Not to say totally because it's in our DNA. Then again, it's incorrect to say that we are full blooded Taino. Just so you know.
So true I'm Puerto Rican, my mom is Spanish, Arabic, Jewish, afro-french, half Irish and half English. My father was Italian, Sicilian and Native American.
I’m 56% European Spanish/ Portuguese 30% indigenous American 7.6% sub-Saharan African 3% northern African Half Mexican from my mom and half Puerto Rican from my pops. Proud of it all ✊🏽
Puertoricans dont only have Spaniard's bloodlines they have Italian bloodlines too, not all Puertoricans have mostly European bloodlines my family bloodlines is very high on African and Taino
True.. qué lastima...its a shame that some Puerto Ricans will not admit to having African Blood in them.. a great disrespect to their African ancestors smh
@@baritoneblazzin1965Because some of them just don’t have much to make a claim. It’s like african americans being mostly 10-20% European. You think they’re claiming that? No.
Iam Puerto Rican very proud to be very well explain also very proud to be an us citizen we are bless by Jesus that aloud us to be part of this beautiful and free country thank you for showing this very informative video Luis Figueroa god bless
Even though I do not believe the number of "Puerto-Ricans" born in the US mainland to be true, (it is much higher than that figure), the information on "immigrant" Jews does NOT count the number of Sephardic Jews who had already occupied the island. It is known for certain that many of these Spanish-Catholics were themselves "Judios Marano" or Jews who had accepted Catholicism for the convenience of survival, surnames such as Mendez, Martinez, Rodriguez, Rivera/Rivero, Mattos, Garcia, Hernandez, Pinto, Levi, Noe, Fernandez y Ortiz and many others are examples of many possible descendants of Jews/Sefardites.
My son gave me an Ancestry kit, when my result came in, my predominant DNA revealed that I am 25% Portuguese, 21% Spaniard and 27% Native Indian (Taino). I was born in the western part of the island of Puerto Rico. Mi hijo me regaló un kit de Ancestry, cuando llegó mi resultado mi ADN que predomina reveló que yo soy 25% portugués, 21% Spaniard y 27% Nativo (Taino). Yo nací en la parte oeste de la isla de Puerto Rico. ¡Saludos!
@@geonieto el oeste de la isla es Arecibo, Isabela y Mayagüez hasta Cabo Rojo donde la mayoría son de origen europeo y Mayagüez donde nació el doctor Augustin Stahl de padres emigrantes alemanes. Porque niegan la herencia europea cuando es la que más influencia en la isla.
@@stikupartist3698 African DNA was denied 😭😭😭29% Portuguese 25% Spanish is basically the same thing it's 54% European or White, 22% Native Indian isn't possible but whatever Natives are basically Asian cause that's where they come from
My last names Perez did that 23 and me, came out Spanish, Portuguese, a mix of west and east African, "nigeria, congo, and also indigenous "taino" came up! it even had a picture that zoomed in on P.R. showing the regions they came from. Ohh and 2 percent east Asian was in there. I needed that cuz my dad doesnt know anything about his ancestry because his dad wasn't around only thing he knew was he came from mountains of caguas P.R. so it makes sense. Extremely interesting. Much love y'all. We all human on this rock. My moms side is Irish German.
i wasnt born in puerto rico neither were my parents but my grandparents were nd honestly i feel a little disconnected to my culture recently and i love hearing about puerto rican culture i love the food and the dances and the people too. my family on my dads side came from spain and delivered stuff back and forth basically they were merchants and had a choice between staying in puerto rico with their land they had or go to spain in the middle of ww2 they stayed in puerto rico where my great grandma had my grandpa (this is horribly explained im bad at explaining things) but i really do admire the culture
Bro that’s so insane my family history is EXACTLY the same. My great great grand father was a rich man in Spain and sold sugar to Spaniards in Puerto Rico. He slept with one of his house keepers (my great great grand mother) and got her pregnant and his wife removed her from the family to keep her from his wealth. She was left in PR after the sale to the USA and her daughter my great grandmother was born in PR. My grand pa has white hair and white skin and blue eyes. My mom is white with green eyes very Spaniard face features.
I was born in Puerto Rico 76 years and live in the USA. When I went back in 1968 was evidently that the island was chasing in mentality and more social prejudices. Then I went back in 1980 and they change rapidly. The last years I know by internet that my Puerto Rico has had lost 😞 their ways, our old music patriotic songs, our faith catholic was changing and they started to go to some evangelicals sects from USA 🇺🇸 in deteriorating our faith. Do but the PR is not the shadow of your grandfather.😱🫣🥲😭😭😭
Im here for the same exact reasons. My grandparents were from Puerto Rico, and I got a taste of the culture from them, but I never really got a deep history of Puerto Rico. I wanted to know where I started

I have ancestors went to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 back in 1750 and again in 1900. I am from Barbados 🇧🇧 but my family is mix with Irish 🇮🇪, British 🇬🇧and West African ancestors. I have cousins born and raised there and a nephew his mom is from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.
Am Boricua and I think he did a good job and research better than any Boricua, I can Care less if he's white, black, yellow or whatever Hatred does not discriminate 💯 porciento Boricua
I agree...But the reason it was mentioned their was some discrimination among our Ancestors...like my Abuelo had to purchase race status for my Abuela because she was mixed with Africana and being that he had a Finca and sold cano y cafe he would have lost his business due to who he married...It sounds so Stupid Now....But back then it was important....Te Amo Puerto Rico
I'm just happy to be a Boricua. Respectfully I'm not a port but I am rich. When you're proud of something it's bc you accomplished something. A goal of sorts. So I'm simply very happy to be a Boricua.
We, Boriques are proud people because we are a mixture of enriched cultures. We all come in all unique culture, which gave birth to our music, food, dance, faith, survival skills, etc. We are a loving people. We are from all islands are around us. Puerto Ricans are from all over the islands Cuba, Florida, Haiti, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, etc.😊 Get knowledge, learn about your heritage.
Its a shame that a large % of Puertoricans are Racist and hate BLACK PEOPLE for some reason, despite how AFRICAN CULTURE is what started Puerto Rican culture, and the fact that a large % of Puertoricans are from AFRICAN DECENT
Wow that makes sense because looking at my ancestry migration map from 1600’s to the 1900’s Jamaica, dr, pr, Haiti, Cuba, trinaidad, Panama, Mexico, Guyana damn near the whole Spain including the Canary Islands etc, as well as the half the US, Europe, Asia, Canada and Australia was so intrigued but shocked, I’m from the US, NJ to be exact and always new this but had proof plus more. My pr ancestors migrated to the us in the early 1900’s so no one is left there they were from mayaguez, Ponce, and San Juan, and in dr they are from santo domingo and are still there
Don't forget the Virgin Islands. I'm a half Puerto Rican man and recently met the love of my life from the US Virgin Islands. We just go perfectly together.
yes: They are only paper extinct. They are not on the CENSUS, think AFRO-Mexicans: You see it in Mexico but no only in person. Its not documented or on TV. You literally see Taino all the time in Puerto Rico ... they just dont know it. 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝓁𝑜𝑜𝓀 𝒾𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓂𝒾𝓇𝓇𝑜𝓇 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒶𝓈𝓈𝓊𝓂𝑒𝒹 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝒽𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝓂𝒾𝓍𝑒𝒹-𝒽𝑒𝓇𝒾𝓉𝒶𝑔𝑒. 🌺Polynesia and 🌺Micronesia will assumed the same thing if their ID was erase too: [they will try and fit themselves in Black and White boxes of the WEST regarding race ] The Americas are very complicated; LAND GRAB is still hotly contested; and you cant have natives around. The USA will lose PR if they were ID'd. Tulsa OK was givent back to the Cherokee Tribe in 2020 by the Supreme Court. and Bolivia is not taking any mess from European descendants; the issue never really rested from the 1st arrivals in the Americas. NO THEY WERE NOT HAPPY you came 💅🏾 no one wants a random person to move in their house + controlling their fridge and TV remote: that is colonization.
I'm 38% Taino , 25% Portuguese and 21% spanish after that it's 1% this 2% that and 3% overthere , 2% African, 4% Jewish, 3% Irish , 2% Sicilian ... but people need to keep in mind that small pct% can mean rapes centuries ago , so if you think it strange about a certain DNA , think about that , all DNAs weren't meant to be but it is what it is
@Emy53, of course, there are Taino people in P. Rico, but they are not full blooded Taino. This understanding is based on historical facts and good common sense. Common sense because in order for someone to be full-blooded, Taino, both parents have to be totally Taino, or better said their DNA has to be free from other blood lines. In this historic period that we live in ,there is no such thing as a pure Taino. I wish there were, but everyone in Puerto Rico is a mix of many different ancestries. And you know what, this is true of every country's ancestry formation. And if you try explaining this using historical facts, Tainos were almost exterminated due to mistreatment by the Spaniards and venereal diseases brought by the Spaniards. Along with their diet being altered with pork, that made them sick. Taino diet was fish, Casabe , corn, fruit, and vegetables. So, that is why not many survived this situation imposed by the spanish. The few that remained alive mixed with other groups on the island. So, we are talking about the 1600 's when this all started to happen. So, that is why there are no pure Tainos in Puerto Rico. Then again, it is in our DNA. Just so you know. I took courses on Puerto Rico history at UPR. I loved it😄❤️
@Emy53 ...I also forgot to mention that the Tainos had no way of defending themselves from the Spaniards because they had guns. Also, this is going to sound strange, but the Spaniards also used this huge dog or the "Mastin." They not only used this dog on the Tainos, but they also would use these on black slaves. So, yes, the Spanish were horrible with the Tainos and black slaves. But what could you have expected of the Europeans or the Spanish, English, frensh, Italians, portuguese, Irish, Swiss, Scottish, etc... back then? They mistreated their own people, so why would they have treated natives and black slaves better than their own kind? And why were Europeans so bad with their own? Who knows, but I am glad I did not live back then. Just so you know... Si te interesa el topico, puedes buscarlo en google.
In spite of the robotic voice the information is true My parents were born in Puerto Rico both of them but came to the United States for a better life especially NYC I personally was born and raised in Williamsburg Brooklyn it was great a lot of crazy stuff but nothing ever touched me Presently living in Central Florida
I did a dna test and it confirms what he said. I’m 70% spanish /13% African/11 % taino/ 5% North African. The spanish dna is the most recent up to 4 generations back but the rest is 5 to 8 generations back.
That’s awesome 👏🏼....on the Tanio that’s a high percent had you 16% you could have been registered and got money....You should think about volunteering as Taino DNA study for the University of San Juan Puerto...they would appreciate that...I send you uno BENDICON
THOSE ARE LOCATIONS. but what are you? there is no such thing as Spanish DNA. you might as well claim Yugoslavian DNA or Hispanic DNA or Christian DNA = political lands arent people. religious affiliations is also not DNA Lands stay put and people walk. where is your origins. Ground zero aka the archetype of your DNA is from what land? DNA TEST ARE A SHAM: so you are tell me Portugal is a completely independent DNA from Spain: when they were 1 political land, where did those ancestors go? what is their ID now? You cannot test ancent people because Humans move. Columbus or Cristóbal Colón, is is Spanish DNA or Italian DNA. and how can he be Italian DNA if they country ITALY did not exist. so what is Columbus. your nationality is not your gene pool = people like to claim this who are COLONIZERS and LAND GRAB schemers. because they can legitimized their claim to be on a land their ancestors had nothing to do with. ** Geography names of the continents and political region inside the continents = are not the same. 13% African and 5% North African = is 18% Africans and if Africans walk over to Spain as MOORS then they are STILL AFRICANS 1+1 =2 switching ID just because you walk on a new land is Identification fraud. .............. put facts back into History. solid distinction of race/ethnicity/nationality need to be adhere to; if you were born in China are you Chinese? if you are Spaniard are you Puerto rican?
I found out about the high Canary Island immigration to Puerto Rico about 4 years ago in my late sixties. I never learned about it in my youth when I took Puerto Rican history courses during my school days. I also found out there was an immigration to southern Louisiana from the Canary Islands in the 1700s. Would you believe they hold yearly festivals commemorating their Canary Island heritage once a year. I’ve recently done research regarding the Canary Islands and was shocked at our similarities, especially the way we speak and our mannerisms. When I tell other Puerto Ricans, both educated and uneducated about I’ve learned, they look at me as if I have two heads. I realize now they’ve also been brainwashed by the propaganda thought in high schools and colleges.
Learn about the last names of the people, the heavy immigration which took place in the 1700s, the number of towns founded by Canary Islanders, where Jibaro music came from, the festival of the Candelaria in Hatillo, etc., etc. Please don’t tell me you’ve also been brainwashed by the propaganda taught schools and further espoused by the media.
Wikipedia says Cuba is the Latin American culture most similar to Canary Islands but I don’t see how it’s more similar than Puerto Rico. I’d say Cuba is the most proud of its European roots though.
I was born in PR and my dna results are Spain 36%, Portugal 20%, Taíno 13%, African 24%, English 3%, Jewish 1%, Indigenous Americas-Central 1% 🇵🇷❤️🇵🇷❤️🇵🇷
Your mixture should tell you how much hypocrites we are as humans. We can't hate ourselves forever because we are this group or that group we just have to accept who we are. Im 4% swedish 1% Turkish with Puerto Rican roots. Humans just migrate and intermingle based on their environment. The world was a different place back then and things were more acceptable in those days
What he just said/??. He said Dominican Republic what is now Puerto Rico. He does not make sense. That is totally incorrect. Fix this misleading documentary.
He said that a 17% of Puerto Ricans live in Eastern Dominican Republic. He didn't said that the Dominican Republic is now Puerto Rico. Although many viewers didn't like the video I think is a comprehensive one.

This is beautiful, and it reminds me of the three powers of Venezuela when looking at the cover page. However, Puerto Rico had a vast history of indigenous people some say “ Los Indios”, then you had those who came in later from Spain “ España” , and there’s the history of “Africanos sand Africanas” The woman on the far right needed to represent The La Negras and being a lot more dark skinned and melanated in complexion. That was the TRUE history of the people. So sadly some of us are still sleeping and blind to knowing the truth and understanding that Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is blessed, but still has hidden racism and homes of what took place after the invasions

Pretty accurate documentary! Sounds like based on studies and censuses,obviously some will not like to hear the truth and claim it's not accurate; anyone with doubts should go to genuine sources like DNA tests studies,censuses and university investigations! To me this sounds pretty accurate, although with little errors in Caribbean islands identification!
Loved the information, although I knew most if it, I did learn some more. There is nothing that bothers me more, than when I am told that my family does not look Puerto Rican. Just because we are white, tall, blonde with mostly blue eyes, or hazel eyes. My answer is that we Puerto Ricans, come in all sizes , width and shades. Most of my ancestors, came in the XIX century. They came from Spain, Portugal, Italy, and France, but two ancestral lines came from Venezuela at the time of the Simon Bolivar ‘s revolution. One of my oldest ancestral lines is the one from Juan Ponce de Leon. He was the Conquistador who discovered Florida at Melbourne. He had been the first governor of Puerto Rico. My father descended from his oldest daughter Juana. Juan Ponce de Leon was killed by an Indian arrow, at Melbourne, Florida. It is believed that it was a poisoned arrow. They left Florida at once and had to stop at Cuba’s port in Havana. There he died and his corpse was returned to San Juan, Puerto Rico. He is buried in a sarcophagus at the San Jose Catholic Church in San Juan, Puerto Rico. A descendant of Columbus from his only legitimate son, Diego, moved to, or visited, Puerto Rico and eventually married there a female who descended from Juana. So on the island, we have descendants from Columbus and also from Juan Ponce de Leon. A Puerto Rican university professor wrote a book about the origin of the Puerto Rican families who descends from Columbus and Juan Ponce de Leon. His surname is Acosta.
I forgot to mention, that Juana, was Juan Ponce de Leon’s oldest daughter. Juan had lived in the Dominican Republic and married there a Spanish girl who was the daughter of a Spaniard Inn Keeper.
Why are you always trying to drag people to your black hole, Andalusians are North Africans, and so were the moors, not sure what black people are you referring to, get your stuff together.
The Canarians were one of the main ethnic groups of colonizers in the spanish empire. They played a major role in the conquest and colonization of the Spanish territories together with the Andalusians. Hundreds and hundreds of canarian families went to America from XVI til XVII centuries. They founded many cities in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic and the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, etc. They also arrived to the Yucatan peninsula and from there they went to Texas, Florida and Louisiana. They founded San Antonio Texas and Galveztown, Barataria, Valenzuela and La Concepción (Saint Bernard). They also founded the city of Montevideo in Uruguay. I am Canarian and our accent is very similar to the Puertorricans'. The puertorican jíbaro culture came mostly from Canarians. The way of living of Puerto Rico was also very similar at that time. My father and grandfather produced sugar cane and tobacco in the Canary Islands as did the settlers in Puerto Rico. The puertorican folkrore was influenced by canarian folklore. We intoduced the versos and decimas. We still sing then to this day. Our culture is very influenced by Latinamerica. We also loved salsa, merengue, bachata, cumbia, punto cubano, música llanera. We know our commun history with Latinamerica. We are very proud of that. It is a pity that many Puertoricans are not aware of who they are and where they come from. We love Puerto Rico in the Canary Islands. ❤
I wasn’t born in Puerto Rico but my parents were, my parents raced us in Nj but they alway said always be proud of being a Puerto Rican American and never forget where your roots came from.
Very interesting and very informative....some of the facts presented are off but overall very good and info video. The DNA numbers are right. My families is from the West, and they are whiter than those on the East. I often wondered why to this, and to the name of tools and fruits, and political status. Thank you.
Wow....this was very informative and answered a lot of questions....like why did my family have not only Portuguese (shocker) but it was the highest in our DNA and my Papi being the last of the Tanio at 64% my sister was at a low 5% and I showed at 3% I also noticed my parents Social Security Card the numbers were still in my number group which meant USA must have reissued my parents cards when they got to California.....I Hope I live to see Puerto Rico Statehood....But Puerto Rico has to restructure and almost start with a new Government Cabinet because the corruption has taken over for years it would be hard for anyone to take this task and be successful....Why do you think it’s not statehood now?....I Pray for my people and my Beautiful Island will overcome this...Loke have in Past.....VIVA PUERTO RICO Y MI GENTI....Te Amor
@geonieto About Puerto Rico becoming a state of the U.S.A. I don't think this will ever happen. I believe it is more about money than anything. As you probably know, all the states within the union have to comply with certain rules when agreeing to becoming a state of the U.S.A. One has to do with tax payments. That is correct. All sorts of taxes must be paid. Taxes are used for all sorts of things. Honestly, I don't think Puerto Rico can afford to pay these taxes additionally to the ones they are paying now. In other words, Puerto Rico, if it becomes a state, would have to pay more higher taxes. At the same time, the U.S.A. would have to give more money, help to Puerto Rico. This they do, but it would elevate funding because of P.Rico becoming a state. So, at this moment, with all that is going on with the national economy and all going on in the world, I don't think the U.S.A. wants to be giving away more money. It doesn't make sense that the U.S.A. gives away money and gets no money in return. What money the U S.A. gives away to P.Rico? The U.S. gives all sorts of help to Puerto rico. They have been doing it for decades. Not just Puerto Rico, but they also help other countries that don't even appreciate it. So, Puerto Rico, unfortunately, will remain forever the same way. Then again, it will never be independent. 😄
I’m Puerto Rican I live in America and there’s places I wouldn’t walk here compare to Puerto Rico I would walk anywhere on the island and still feel safe.

What people have the closest to having perfect DNA ........ Puerto Ricans , look it up and research it , it will make you more proud of being Boricua 🌟 🌟 🌟 ✨
You research was fairly good; however, letting the Spanish European version or excuse that the Taino disappeared shortly after the Spanish conquest creep into the study is incorrect. DNA studies have shown that about 60% of native Puerto Ricans have Taino mitochondrial DNA. In other words, the male Tainos died, but the race and customs survived through the females who became most of the concubines and wives of Spanish and Creoles in the early centuries of the conquest. Second, if you are going to publish reports on Puerto Rico, learn to pronounce the name. "Porto Rikens" or *Porto Rikoo" don't exist, Puerto Ricans and Puerto Rico do.
"The white Gene is a recessive, ("Weak Gene") & the Black Gene is Dominant"! "So how could Puerto be predominantly European decent"??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 "Try & make some sense out of this one"??? 😂😂😂😂
You are 100% correct! This whole video is filled with incorrect information! This is the colonizers version of who they are still trying to make everyone believe about us and our culture and history.
Totally agree. Puerto Rican Spanish is nice and it also has French influence because they don't pronounce the /s/ just like the French when they speak. I also find it easier to understand Puerto Ricans compared to Spaniards because the Spaniards not only speak too fast but they have that ugly lisp. That's just my opinion. The southern Spaniards speak nice to me though.
Just like Dominicans and Cubans. The only difference is that in the Dominican Republic there are more African people. Because of the millions of Haitians, Black Immigrants and the descendants of Afro Americans that reside in the Dominican Republic. And the Haitians that are still going to DR. But, they are not actually Dominicans. Y'all confuse them with being actual Dominicans.
@@JC-yf1tc Los dominihaitis no son realmente Dominicanos. Los dominihaitis son Haitianos que residen en la Republica Dominicana y se creen que son realmente Dominicanos. Los verdaderos Dominicanos son multiracial como los Cubanos y Puertoriqueños. No confunda los millones de Haitianos, Cocolos y descendiente de los Afro Americanos que residen en la Republica Dominicana con ser Dominicanos.
I've met a few people from the Canary Islands. Felix Trinidad, Tego Calderon, Rene Perez, "Bad Bunny",.......don't speak with a Canarian accent. Puerto Rico has had over the past 100 years a flow of people from Cuba, Dominican Repulblic, etc.. which also has had an influence on the way people speak ( "la vaina" can be heard more today in Puerto Rico). There isn't a so called "Puerto Rican Spanish" but there are words that have their own meaning in Puerto Rico i.e. "chavo" which means "money", but in Mexico "chavo" means "boy".
@@felipemontano1536 There is a RUclipsr named 'Santiglot'. On a couple of his videos he speaks spanish with a few people. I don't hear the similarities.
Also, we still all speak Paleo, Hebrew, and then, with the slave trade, the Spaniards through the torture of our ancestors, therefore taught us to speak Spanish. Do you know it’s an all the history books even the Jewish people write about these things there’s so many books knowledge is power.
Excuse me, I said we used to speak Paleo Hebrew before the Spaniards taught us Spanish along with Christopher Columbus is all those pictures and videos and so forth and so on Elter you know what I mean
We Portoricans are hybrids with an identity crisis. When Tito Trinidad or Denisse Quiñones wins we are "Boricuas", but when it comes to passports or federal aids then we are are "All American". Nation of beggars and thieves .
Spain always putting their noses where they didn't belong...and that's why the Arabics invaded them and throw them out of their own land and did with the Spaniards what ever they wanted to do with them and they didn't like it... they said an eye for an eye...and if people really look into it a lot of the words in the Spanish language is based on Arabic language words... 💯% facts
Looks what the Spaniards did to the Aztecs, the Africans, the Arabics, the Tainos all over the Caribbean and so much more... they were thinking that the whole world 🌎🌍 was theirs and that they can do whatever they wanted to do and they committed a lot of atrocities all over the world... that is very very wrong to me and it's hurts me that a lot of human beings suffer because of them...
It's great that you have a history to report on when speaking about Puerto Rico, however when it comes to pronunciations, whoever was chosen to narrate had a hard time pronouncing the word, Puerto Ricans. It's not Puerto Riccans as is stated in this video, it's Puerto Ricans (Reecans), not Rickands. To Puerto Ricans listening to this video, it's frustrating. I just had to skip this video because of this problem. I'm pretty sure others have the same problems. If it's going to be informative, it must be correct in pronunciation.
The Tainos called Puerto Rico back in their days Boriken... like you said ( Land of the Brave ) you are 💯% right and on the beginning of the 1900's the Americans and Portuguese called Porto Rico and the Spaniards started to called Puerto Rico because it was said that when they got there it was said that it was a lot of gold in the island 🏝️ and history repeats itself the Spaniards did the same thing they did to the Aztecs take what didn't belong to them and started to take and kill innocent human beings for the sake of the royal Spanish Crown 👑 take the gold and take their lands...if they didn't do anything of that...We probably been one of the richest lands in the world and what is today Latin America too be rich including what is today Mexico... history is very sad sometimes that it takes someone else to take from other places to make them self rich with someone else lands, properties and resources to make someone else richer at others expenses....very sad and very true, but like everyone else said that is history to us

I disagree with the percentages of Puerto Rican English language speakers on the island. As an English professor at a known university on the island for the past 14 years, I have consistently taught courses (Basic, Intermediate and Advanced English, also English in the Business Environment) where 40 % to 50% of my students in each class speak English at an intermediate or advanced level. Most of these students have never lived in the continental U.S. but have learned English through K-12th grade English courses which are mandatory here on the island and through social media, cable, streaming services and movies (think Marvel, DC and others). I do not live near the metropolitan area (San Juan) which has a higher concentration of bilinguals, even so, many of the students are from rural towns nearby and speak the language. They understand that knowledge of the language opens doors of opportunity for them.
My question is should I move there? I’m now in danger of a national emergency announcement by the lgbt community. Im already in Florida which was the first to be in a state of emergency from that and the NAACP. I have friends there so I will definitely visit first, but it sounded nice.
@@kellykerr5225Before deciding to move anywhere you should visit and see if you like the vibe, the culture and the people. I suggest you visit the San Juan area because there is large bilingual population and there is plenty to do there for visitors. We are very welcoming, so you should have a great visit.
@@mayragarcia675 oh I definitely want to visit first. I’m waiting for my friends to get settled in and then I will visit. There are many RUclipsrs who give pros and cons to living places, or they live there and show everything. It would definitely be easier to move somewhere that I understand the language.
I'm not surprised ppl still think that we are 'ignorant'...some even think Puerto Rico is a 3rd world country...and dont know we are part of the U.S...we are truly invisible...js
@@kellykerr5225 Have a great visit. Hope everything goes well for you.
I was born on the island. My father was a Cañarían and my mother was a Taino. I moved to the US mainland when I was 2 years of age. I learned English in the USA. What a beautiful culture we are. Viva Borinquen🇵🇷
You are full of it the word Cañarían doesn't exist and as far as Taino there are no full blooded Taino on the island.

Taino people do not exist anymore....centuries ago....What's the problem with some People saying that they are white....
Not cool enough????????
@lauratorres6039 I believe you when you say that your father was from the Canary Islands. My grandfather on my mother's side was Spaniard on both sides, and his family came from the Canarys. But as to your mother being full blooded Taino, that can not be. The reason for that is based on historical facts. Tainos mixed with other groups within the island, and many died of illness, venereal disseases, brought by the Spanish to Puerto Rico. Also, Tainos were forced into hard labor by the Spanish. In other words, they were mistreated to the point of death. Not only that, but the Taino diet was altered with pork and others, exposing their system to diseases. The original Taino diet consisted of fish, Casabe, corn, and fruits. So, all this contributed to the Taino presence on the island to be diminished. Not to say totally because it's in our DNA. Then again, it's incorrect to say that we are full blooded Taino. Just so you know.
So true I'm Puerto Rican, my mom is Spanish, Arabic, Jewish, afro-french, half Irish and half English. My father was Italian, Sicilian and Native American.

Even though I do not believe the number of "Puerto-Ricans" born in the US mainland to be true, (it is much higher than that figure), the information on "immigrant" Jews does NOT count the number of Sephardic Jews who had already occupied the island.

Much love y'all. We all human on this rock. My moms side is Irish German.
My family is puerto rican with Congo in our blood too
i wasnt born in puerto rico neither were my parents but my grandparents were nd honestly i feel a little disconnected to my culture recently and i love hearing about puerto rican culture i love the food and the dances and the people too. my family on my dads side came from spain and delivered stuff back and forth basically they were merchants and had a choice between staying in puerto rico with their land they had or go to spain in the middle of ww2 they stayed in puerto rico where my great grandma had my grandpa (this is horribly explained im bad at explaining things) but i really do admire the culture
Bro that’s so insane my family history is EXACTLY the same. My great great grand father was a rich man in Spain and sold sugar to Spaniards in Puerto Rico. He slept with one of his house keepers (my great great grand mother) and got her pregnant and his wife removed her from the family to keep her from his wealth. She was left in PR after the sale to the USA and her daughter my great grandmother was born in PR. My grand pa has white hair and white skin and blue eyes. My mom is white with green eyes very Spaniard face features.
I was born in Puerto Rico 76 years and live in the USA. When I went back in 1968 was evidently that the island was chasing in mentality and more social prejudices. Then I went back in 1980 and they change rapidly. The last years I know by internet that my Puerto Rico has had lost 😞 their ways, our old music patriotic songs, our faith catholic was changing and they started to go to some evangelicals sects from USA 🇺🇸 in deteriorating our faith. Do but the PR is not the shadow of your grandfather.😱🫣🥲😭😭😭
Thank you for sharing
Im here for the same exact reasons. My grandparents were from Puerto Rico, and I got a taste of the culture from them, but I never really got a deep history of Puerto Rico. I wanted to know where I started

In the DNA and as long as that is there , Tainos are there!
I'm 38% Taino , 25% Portuguese and 21% spanish after that it's 1% this 2% that and 3% overthere , 2% African, 4% Jewish, 3% Irish , 2% Sicilian ... but people need to keep in mind that small pct% can mean rapes centuries ago , so if you think it strange about a certain DNA , think about that , all DNAs weren't meant to be but it is what it is
@Emy53, of course, there are Taino people in P. Rico, but they are not full blooded Taino. This understanding is based on historical facts and good common sense. Common sense because in order for someone to be full-blooded, Taino, both parents have to be totally Taino, or better said their DNA has to be free from other blood lines. In this historic period that we live in ,there is no such thing as a pure Taino. I wish there were, but everyone in Puerto Rico is a mix of many different ancestries. And you know what, this is true of every country's ancestry formation. And if you try explaining this using historical facts, Tainos were almost exterminated due to mistreatment by the Spaniards and venereal diseases brought by the Spaniards. Along with their diet being altered with pork, that made them sick. Taino diet was fish, Casabe , corn, fruit, and vegetables. So, that is why not many survived this situation imposed by the spanish. The few that remained alive mixed with other groups on the island. So, we are talking about the 1600 's when this all started to happen. So, that is why there are no pure Tainos in Puerto Rico. Then again, it is in our DNA. Just so you know. I took courses on Puerto Rico history at UPR. I loved it😄❤️
@Emy53 ...I also forgot to mention that the Tainos had no way of defending themselves from the Spaniards because they had guns. Also, this is going to sound strange, but the Spaniards also used this huge dog or the "Mastin." They not only used this dog on the Tainos, but they also would use these on black slaves. So, yes, the Spanish were horrible with the Tainos and black slaves. But what could you have expected of the Europeans or the Spanish, English, frensh, Italians, portuguese, Irish, Swiss, Scottish, etc... back then? They mistreated their own people, so why would they have treated natives and black slaves better than their own kind? And why were Europeans so bad with their own? Who knows, but I am glad I did not live back then. Just so you know... Si te interesa el topico, puedes buscarlo en google.

THOSE ARE LOCATIONS. but what are you? there is no such thing as Spanish DNA. you might as well claim Yugoslavian DNA or Hispanic DNA or Christian DNA = political lands arent people. religious affiliations is also not DNA
Lands stay put and people walk. where is your origins. Ground zero aka the archetype of your DNA is from what land?
DNA TEST ARE A SHAM: so you are tell me Portugal is a completely independent DNA from Spain: when they were 1 political land, where did those ancestors go? what is their ID now? You cannot test ancent people because Humans move.
Columbus or Cristóbal Colón, is is Spanish DNA or Italian DNA. and how can he be Italian DNA if they country ITALY did not exist. so what is Columbus.
your nationality is not your gene pool = people like to claim this who are COLONIZERS and LAND GRAB schemers. because they can legitimized their claim to be on a land their ancestors had nothing to do with.
** Geography names of the continents and political region inside the continents = are not the same.
13% African and 5% North African = is 18% Africans
and if Africans walk over to Spain as MOORS then they are STILL AFRICANS 1+1 =2
switching ID just because you walk on a new land is Identification fraud.
.............. put facts back into History. solid distinction of race/ethnicity/nationality need to be adhere to; if you were born in China are you Chinese? if you are Spaniard are you Puerto rican?
I found out about the high Canary Island immigration to Puerto Rico about 4 years ago in my late sixties. I never learned about it in my youth when I took Puerto Rican history courses during my school days. I also found out there was an immigration to southern Louisiana from the Canary Islands in the 1700s. Would you believe they hold yearly festivals commemorating their Canary Island heritage once a year. I’ve recently done research regarding the Canary Islands and was shocked at our similarities, especially the way we speak and our mannerisms. When I tell other Puerto Ricans, both educated and uneducated about I’ve learned, they look at me as if I have two heads. I realize now they’ve also been brainwashed by the propaganda thought in high schools and colleges.
Correct
Small percentage
Learn about the last names of the people, the heavy immigration which took place in the 1700s, the number of towns founded by Canary Islanders, where Jibaro music came from, the festival of the Candelaria in Hatillo, etc., etc. Please don’t tell me you’ve also been brainwashed by the propaganda taught schools and further espoused by the media.
Yeah, most of the Spaniards that came to the island before 1898 where from Las Islas Canarias.
Wikipedia says Cuba is the Latin American culture most similar to Canary Islands but I don’t see how it’s more similar than Puerto Rico. I’d say Cuba is the most proud of its European roots though.

The majority of the population of the Dominican Republic is of mixed African descent. Dominicans have Haitian race connections and are called aphritians. Published Oct 10 2017 at 11.27 ET
_Si en los Estados Unidos las principales categorías raciales son Negro, Blanco, Asiatico, etc. Entre los negros y los blancos, los dominicanos caen dentro de la categoría de negros, porque su identidad étnica y cultural ha sido siempre afro-descendiente. Por esa razón, ellos caen en la categoría de "negros".Feb 14, 2017_
@@andithCierto, es por ese alto porcentaje de ADN negro que el pueblo Dominicano al igual que el Haitiano y el Cubano, tuvieron el CORAJE, la FORTALEZA y la GALLARDIA para luchar por su LIBERTAD contra todo el que ha tratado de subyugarlos y sumergirlos en la DESVERGUENZA que padecen algunos paises, que al carecer totalmente de VENGUENZA sus ciudadanos, se les ve en las redes tratando de presentar al pueblo Haitiano como una raza inferior, cuando en realidad la situacion de ellos es impuesta como castigo, por las grandes potencias COLONIZADORAS.

Ppl don't even know that tainos Mayans incas native Americans inuit igloo ppl indegenous ppl in amazon and the islanders all come from asians who in turn come from Africans, in siberia far east it was a land bridge peninsula used to connect to Alaska which they walked across into the new world(north America central America South America) before the last ice age and came across black natives (Africans in the land) that's why every 1st ppl in the americas australia were darkskinned and indigenous until colonization
Bingo
What movie are you talking about dude.
I am proud to be a NY Rican. So very proud of my PR heritage. my grandparents came ftom Germany & Spain. They were so proud to have settled in The beautiful enchanted island. May God continue to bless Puerto Ricans always no matter where they are or live.❤❤❤❤
This is beautiful, and it reminds me of the three powers of Venezuela when looking at the cover page. However, Puerto Rico had a vast history of indigenous people some say “ Los Indios”, then you had those who came in later from Spain “ España” , and there’s the history of “Africanos sand Africanas” The woman on the far right needed to represent The La Negras and being a lot more dark skinned and melanated in complexion. That was the TRUE history of the people. So sadly some of us are still sleeping and blind to knowing the truth and understanding that Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is blessed, but still has hidden racism and homes of what took place after the invasions
Most beautiful people in the world 🌎 ♥️ are Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 🎉❤

Pretty accurate documentary! Sounds like based on studies and censuses,obviously some will not like to hear the truth and claim it's not accurate; anyone with doubts should go to genuine sources like DNA tests studies,censuses and university investigations! To me this sounds pretty accurate, although with little errors in Caribbean islands identification!
How is this not accurate and who would have a problem with it?
The truth is Spain was ruthless.
I'm Puerto Rican. And the talk has made me hungry for some Arroz con Gandules Pasteles de guineo verde y platano con pernil asado.

Loved the information, although I knew most if it, I did learn some more.
There is nothing that bothers me more, than when I am told that my family does not look Puerto Rican. Just because we are white, tall, blonde with mostly blue eyes, or hazel eyes.
My answer is that we Puerto Ricans, come in all sizes , width and shades.
Most of my ancestors, came in the XIX century. They came from Spain, Portugal, Italy, and France, but two ancestral lines came from Venezuela at the time of the Simon Bolivar ‘s revolution.
One of my oldest ancestral lines is the one from Juan Ponce de Leon. He was the Conquistador who discovered Florida at Melbourne. He had been the first governor of Puerto Rico. My father descended from his oldest daughter Juana.
Juan Ponce de Leon was killed by an Indian arrow, at Melbourne, Florida. It is believed that it was a poisoned arrow. They left Florida at once and had to stop at Cuba’s port in Havana. There he died and his corpse was returned to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
He is buried in a sarcophagus at the San Jose Catholic Church in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
A descendant of Columbus from his only legitimate son, Diego,
moved to, or visited, Puerto Rico and eventually married there a female who descended from Juana.
So on the island, we have descendants from Columbus and also from Juan Ponce de Leon. A Puerto Rican university professor wrote a book about the origin of the Puerto Rican families who descends from Columbus and Juan Ponce de Leon. His surname is Acosta.
I forgot to mention, that Juana, was Juan Ponce de Leon’s oldest daughter.
Juan had lived in the Dominican Republic and married there a Spanish girl who was the daughter of a Spaniard Inn Keeper.
You didn't mention Cleveland
The Andalusian rule can kind of be considered also Africans because they were under Moorish rule for a couple of hundred years
Why are you always trying to drag people to your black hole, Andalusians are North Africans, and so were the moors, not sure what black people are you referring to, get your stuff together.
The Canarians were one of the main ethnic groups of colonizers in the spanish empire. They played a major role in the conquest and colonization of the Spanish territories together with the Andalusians. Hundreds and hundreds of canarian families went to America from XVI til XVII centuries. They founded many cities in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic and the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, etc. They also arrived to the Yucatan peninsula and from there they went to Texas, Florida and Louisiana. They founded San Antonio Texas and Galveztown, Barataria, Valenzuela and La Concepción (Saint Bernard). They also founded the city of Montevideo in Uruguay.
I am Canarian and our accent is very similar to the Puertorricans'. The puertorican jíbaro culture came mostly from Canarians. The way of living of Puerto Rico was also very similar at that time. My father and grandfather produced sugar cane and tobacco in the Canary Islands as did the settlers in Puerto Rico. The puertorican folkrore was influenced by canarian folklore. We intoduced the versos and decimas. We still sing then to this day. Our culture is very influenced by Latinamerica. We also loved salsa, merengue, bachata, cumbia, punto cubano, música llanera. We know our commun history with Latinamerica. We are very proud of that. It is a pity that many Puertoricans are not aware of who they are and where they come from. We love Puerto Rico in the Canary Islands. ❤

@geonieto About Puerto Rico becoming a state of the U.S.A. I don't think this will ever happen. I believe it is more about money than anything. As you probably know, all the states within the union have to comply with certain rules when agreeing to becoming a state of the U.S.A. One has to do with tax payments. That is correct. All sorts of taxes must be paid. Taxes are used for all sorts of things. Honestly, I don't think Puerto Rico can afford to pay these taxes additionally to the ones they are paying now. In other words, Puerto Rico, if it becomes a state, would have to pay more higher taxes. At the same time, the U.S.A. would have to give more money, help to Puerto Rico. This they do, but it would elevate funding because of P.Rico becoming a state. So, at this moment, with all that is going on with the national economy and all going on in the world, I don't think the U.S.A. wants to be giving away more money. It doesn't make sense that the U.S.A. gives away money and gets no money in return. What money the U S.A. gives away to P.Rico? The U.S. gives all sorts of help to Puerto rico. They have been doing it for decades. Not just Puerto Rico, but they also help other countries that don't even appreciate it. So, Puerto Rico, unfortunately, will remain forever the same way. Then again, it will never be independent. 😄
Every time that I watch a documentary about PR they forget to include the wave of crime on the island.

@@lifeisabadjoke5750 Then you dont know what youre talking about. If the Puerto Rico was a state it would be one of the most violent states in the U.S. Why do you think people are fleeing?

Lol
It's a fruit I think 😂😂😂
You research was fairly good; however, letting the Spanish European version or excuse that the Taino disappeared shortly after the Spanish conquest creep into the study is incorrect. DNA studies have shown that about 60% of native Puerto Ricans have Taino mitochondrial DNA. In other words, the male Tainos died, but the race and customs survived through the females who became most of the concubines and wives of Spanish and Creoles in the early centuries of the conquest. Second, if you are going to publish reports on Puerto Rico, learn to pronounce the name. "Porto Rikens" or *Porto Rikoo" don't exist, Puerto Ricans and Puerto Rico do.
My dna test showed 30 % Spanish 20 % African 40 % Taino Indian 10% German 🇵🇷

Puerto Rican Spanish evolved from Canarian Spanish.
You just sound a mix of Canary islanders and southern Spanish to me!
Totally agree. Puerto Rican Spanish is nice and it also has French influence because they don't pronounce the /s/ just like the French when they speak. I also find it easier to understand Puerto Ricans compared to Spaniards because the Spaniards not only speak too fast but they have that ugly lisp. That's just my opinion. The southern Spaniards speak nice to me though.

Just like Dominicans and Cubans. The only difference is that in the Dominican Republic there are more African people. Because of the millions of Haitians, Black Immigrants and the descendants of Afro Americans that reside in the Dominican Republic. And the Haitians that are still going to DR. But, they are not actually Dominicans. Y'all confuse them with being actual Dominicans.

Pattern recognition is all that is. The more black your population the more violent it is and the poorer you will be. You see it everywhere they go.
Cuba 🇨🇺 has more black people than Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Hahaha 🤣 take a shot every time you hear Porto-RicKeNs
The puerto Rican accent actually comes from the Canarian accent. There is no such thing as Puerto Rican Spanish.
I've met a few people from the Canary Islands. Felix Trinidad, Tego Calderon, Rene Perez, "Bad Bunny",.......don't speak with a Canarian accent. Puerto Rico has had over the past 100 years a flow of people from Cuba, Dominican Repulblic, etc.. which also has had an influence on the way people speak ( "la vaina" can be heard more today in Puerto Rico). There isn't a so called "Puerto Rican Spanish" but there are words that have their own meaning in Puerto Rico i.e. "chavo" which means "money", but in Mexico "chavo" means "boy".
@@makeuthink2120 look up videos on youtube on the canary accent. you will see.

Also, we still all speak Paleo, Hebrew, and then, with the slave trade, the Spaniards through the torture of our ancestors, therefore taught us to speak Spanish. Do you know it’s an all the history books even the Jewish people write about these things there’s so many books knowledge is power.
Excuse me, I said we used to speak Paleo Hebrew before the Spaniards taught us Spanish along with Christopher Columbus is all those pictures and videos and so forth and so on Elter you know what I mean

We Portoricans are hybrids with an identity crisis. When Tito Trinidad or Denisse Quiñones wins we are "Boricuas", but when it comes to passports or federal aids then we are are "All American".
Nation of beggars and thieves .
Spain always putting their noses where they didn't belong...and that's why the Arabics invaded them and throw them out of their own land and did with the Spaniards what ever they wanted to do with them and they didn't like it... they said an eye for an eye...and if people really look into it a lot of the words in the Spanish language is based on Arabic language words... 💯% facts
Looks what the Spaniards did to the Aztecs, the Africans, the Arabics, the Tainos all over the Caribbean and so much more... they were thinking that the whole world 🌎🌍 was theirs and that they can do whatever they wanted to do and they committed a lot of atrocities all over the world... that is very very wrong to me and it's hurts me that a lot of human beings suffer because of them...
It's great that you have a history to report on when speaking about Puerto Rico, however when it comes to pronunciations, whoever was chosen to narrate had a hard time pronouncing the word, Puerto Ricans. It's not Puerto Riccans as is stated in this video, it's Puerto Ricans (Reecans), not Rickands. To Puerto Ricans listening to this video, it's frustrating. I just had to skip this video because of this problem. I'm pretty sure others have the same problems. If it's going to be informative, it must be correct in pronunciation.
It was called Borinken when the Tainos ruled which in Hebrew means land of the brave. Puerto ☝️ Rico was the name the enslavers gave our island.
The Tainos called Puerto Rico back in their days Boriken... like you said ( Land of the Brave ) you are 💯% right and on the beginning of the 1900's the Americans and Portuguese called Porto Rico and the Spaniards started to called Puerto Rico because it was said that when they got there it was said that it was a lot of gold in the island 🏝️ and history repeats itself the Spaniards did the same thing they did to the Aztecs take what didn't belong to them and started to take and kill innocent human beings for the sake of the royal Spanish Crown 👑 take the gold and take their lands...if they didn't do anything of that...We probably been one of the richest lands in the world and what is today Latin America too be rich including what is today Mexico... history is very sad sometimes that it takes someone else to take from other places to make them self rich with someone else lands, properties and resources to make someone else richer at others expenses....very sad and very true, but like everyone else said that is history to us
Can you explain how can you find a Taino word in the hebrew vocabulary?
