- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Today I recorded a video to talk about my initial experience with being an African-American man living in Puerto Rico so far. Just moving here 2 months ago, the most questions I have recieved are ... How is it? How do I connect with people? Are there events for afro-american cultures? A these are just a few different questions I have received about the experience of being a Black man now living in Puerto Rico. Hope you enjoy the video!

I know I’m blacker than vanta black
bueno, él puede ser quien es, disfrutar, spend a LOT OF MONEY ON LOCAL BORICUA OWNED BUSINESSES, LEARN SOME ESPANOL y después que se LARGUE pa GRINGOLANDIA!!!
Puerto Ricans will treat you right as long as you leave that B.S. from the states behind ! Ya know what I'm talking about !!!!
I don't..what your referring to?
Well actually, some of us DON’T know what you’re talking about sir.
I’m a black man from the states who endorses LOVE & RESPECT for all people in all races…
…but not all Puerto Ricans were treating me like an EQUAL HUMAN BEING when I was vacationing over in there country.
Unfortunately RACISM is very common against black people…and the island of Puerto Rico is NO EXCEPTION.
But truth is, racism should never be experienced by anyone…regardless of whether we are black, white, brown, red or yellow.
So no my brother…some of us black folks DON’T know what you’re talking about!
@@vjej1980 than if you don't know..open your eyes and watch the news !!!
@@juliocaban465
I watch the news every night mi hermano…and I see bad things being perpetrated by human beings of EVERY RACE & EVER SKIN COLOR.
So if you ONLY SEE BLACK PEOPLE engaging in bad deeds & behavior when you look at the world around you…then you just proved my point that RACISM IS ALIVE & WELL IN PUERTO RICO.
@@juliocaban465
IF YOU WERE WATCHING THE NEWS MY BROTHER…YOU WOULD KNOW THAT FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TRYING TO ABOLISH LATIN IMMIGRATION INTO THE STATES…CLAIMING THAT MUCH OF THE CRIME PERPETRATED IN THE COUNTRY IS BEING COMMITTED BY LATIN IMMIGRANTS.
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS SO EAGER TO KEEP LATIN IMMIGRANTS OUT THE COUNTRY…THAT HE WANTED TO SPEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS…JUST TO PUT UP A WALL.
BECAUSE ACCORDING TO HIM, LATIN IMMIGRANTS ARE DOING NOTHING BUT BRINGING B.S. INTO THE COUNTRY FROM THEIR HOMELAND.
AND THE LATIN COMMUNITY WAS UTTERLY OUTRAGED BY TRUMPS VIEW OF THEIR PEOPLE.
AND SO WAS THE BLACK COMMUNITY…BECAUSE WE DID NOT AGREE WITH THE GOVERNMENTS RACIST VIEWPOINT OF LATINO PEOPLE.
SO YOU HAVE ALOT OF NERVE LOOKING AT US BLACK PEOPLE THE SAME WAY THAT RACIST EUROPEANS HAVE BEEN LOOKING DOWN ON YOU’RE HISPANIC PEOPLE.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT WHEN OTHERS LABEL YOUR PEOPLE AS BEING EVERYDAY CRIMINALS IN THE NEWS…
…THEN YOU NEED TO STOP LABELING US BLACK PEOPLE AS EVERYDAY CRIMINALS IN THE NEWS!!!
As a puertorican living in the island, we don’t care about color or race. We have been mixed for years!
Most of us respect each other and help each other, As long as you don’t fuck around you will be ok.
Now if you like an easy, rushed and quick life like living in NYC then PR is not your place, you need patience to live here but it’s worth it!
Bienvenidos and enjoy!
Agreed!
The status of the island reflects other wise . Uncle Toms trying to be "american" wich translates in oir case into WHITE . 😂😭⚰️
We been sell outs forever.
Albizu Campos , Betances ,Ruiz Belvis,Arturo Alfonso Schomburg as well so Trill Eats dont let my people to tell you different. We in denial we are in an eternal chapter inside of the movie Get Out. We dont like to talk about we hate to talk about it! But its our reality. We need to enmanicipate ourswlves from.mental slavwry as well jus5 like Bob Marley used tell the rest of the diaspora ! Nothing has changed! Like the KKK has tried to say is a "thing of the past" a lot of my people has keep repeating the same rethoric. This happens in the states, in the caribbean and with the rest of the diaapora. You said ypu studied american black history so you SHOULD know this ,quit pretwnding you dont know either. I said that with tough love ,not with any type of bad energy. 😉✌️
@@trilleatsWe been mixed!?!?? 😂😭⚰️WE ARE LITERALLY A fkn MIX !!!! WTF u talking about?!?! Smh 😂😭⚰️
I'm puertorican and my mom was a afrorican from Puerto Rico, we're Africans too
@@sacristan679A lot of people that came from Spain did not mix. They are still white as milk and have light eye color. Like me!! I’m paler than Casper the ghost. And I was born in el Hospital Pavia de Santurce cabron.
I am African American I made a number of trips to PR, my favorite of all is Loiza Aldea, I love dancing Bomba and my heart bleeds Salsa. In fact I listen to Salsa nearly all day. The best food ever, I would get to the Salsa club at nine and leave five in the morning, just like I did when I lived in NY. I can now live vicariously through you, I just subscribed to your .channel.
Thanks for the subscription! I appreciate you!
I'm Black, also live in Puerto Rico. I never have any issues. Of course, there are ignorant people everywhere. I just haven't encountered them personally. I think it helps that I speak Spanish. I stromgly encourage non -Latinos who live here or are looking to live here to learn Spanish. It makes things so much easier. In the metro area there are a lot of people who speak English - but Spanish is still the primary language.
Great insight!
Since we are little we are told that Africa has been a huge influence in our Caribbean culture. Education has played a huge role in that. We are taught from an early age that we are a blend of different ethnicities and to be proud of that.
Puerto Rico is not perfect but at least that is one of the things I always miss.
Dope!!!!!!!!
Puertorican born and raised but been living in the states for the last 20 years. I tell Afro-American people here that Im black and Im extremely proud of being African! 99% of people in PR will treat you like youre one of us. Only 1% is just ignorant. But bro, feel yourself at home. I will stop by again to give you some good BBQ options 🇵🇷🔥
Thank you for that! Much love!
Are we really African after 500 years of being in the states and most of us having mixed dna
@@YasukeNakamoto 500 years being in the states? What do you mean by that? If anything, U.S. turned Puerto Rico into one of their colonies in 1898.
To answer your question, yes, we have a lot of African in our culture including food and cooking styles, our music (bomba), many words we use on a daily basis such as dengue, banana, chimpancé, bachata, bongo, conga, cumbia, mambo, merengue, rumba, samba, tango, sandunga, chévere, bemba, mandinga, motete, guarapo, guineo, mofongo, ñame, quimbombó… and so much more. If you want to see some more for yourself, take a trip to the island. Maybe head to the town of Loíza where the African roots are still quite intact.
@@YasukeNakamoto 100% black 100% spaniard 100%Taino de que FULL FULL 😤💪
If you dont wanna be puertorican thats cool but the definition still till this day the same. Puertorican is a mix of those 3 races youu like it or not .
We got also arab blood and etc but the factual description of our race is the one I provided you. Smh
@@iseliercamacho7256 Thats a fktard Dont try to makes sense of that 💩😂😭⚰️
fun fact: Barbecue comes from the Taino indian word "barbacoa". when the spanish arrived they found the tainos cooking meat over fire on a grill made.of branches.
Thanks for that info!
Welcome to PR! Just keep in mind that life tends to slow down, not only in PR but everywhere in the Caribbean 😁. One more detail I would like to share, San Juan is only one part of the island, there's more to see and do outside of the metro area. Hope you enjoy life in PR.
Thanks for the tips!
The word barbecue comes from Puerto Rico Taino Indians barbacoa Puerto Rico they have Pitmasters in Puerto Rico that make Texas BBQ they have a whole bunch of awards over in Texas that go there for the barbecue competitions every year they have one in Isla Verde it's called Barbacoa pr and they have them all over the island look forward to seeing you go there and taste the food and let me know how good it is
I've been schooled lol! And yes, coming soon!
💯❣️❣️❣️😤🔥🔥🔥
@@trilleats Yes you have been schooled asf ! 😂 Like wtf he is extremely right! That word PRECISELY comes from us! Lol THE FKN IRONY ROTFFL 😂😭⚰️
Yup, aint nobody fkn with the ORIGINALS in this bbq shit! You sounding country and crazy asf when ypu was talking about the BBQ subject fr fe lmao
First time I saw Bone Thugs N Harmony grillin in Tha 1st Of Tha Month video I was hell yeah, my people ❣️❣️❣️😤😂
Get hip and fast! The name of your page says you about culinaries arts so act like it mi hermano dont put yourself and "my" ( your) people out here looking crazy and shi lol lmao 😉❣️
Very simple. The color of your skin will never be an issue. Who you are as a person is what really matters.
Agreed!
❤❤❤❤ Always.
Viva Puerto Rico y Latinoamerica!!!❤❤
Never? Ok 😂😭⚰️Speak 4 urself be realistic dont embarrass us like this por el amor al Señor Jesucristo smh lmfao
He never talked about the color of his skin but you are . 😂😭⚰️
@@sacristan679 I think you’re missing something. When he talks about being black in PR that’s what he meant.
Can’t wait to go
People wouldn’t judge you because of your color in PR. Maybe for being a “gringo” but not because of your color. If you really wanna know PR better connect through WhatsApp or whatever with some locals. PR is great!!! You’ll never really know what’s hiding, we got a lot to offer and share.
Appreciate that!
Whats the group name??
@@dabreeze24right!! 🤩
Boriqua here ~ when in Puerto Rico you become Puerto Rican WE are 1 people , very proud and very welcoming and willing to help . We have ALL colors , ALL styles , ALL sizes and there is no "US" and "Them ". As far as "black" we are not divided as we are in Atlanta ( i moved back from Gwinnett ) , there is non of that , You are either a good person or a bad person , we don't care what color you are. Respect is huge here ( and word of advice~ beware of talking crap about people , cause we are bilingual ) LOL Be safe & enjoy !!
For sure lol. All love.
You and your family are more than welcome to come, to live, to work ....Thanks brother to keep making videos from Puerto Rico our Island .I really like what you doing 👍
That's the plan! Appreciate the support!
That's the plan! Much Love!

PEACE, LOVE & RESPECT TO YOU MY BROTHER…FROM A PROUD AFRICAN-AMERICAN.
You should check out the Bomba activities around the island. Puerto Rican black culture at its finest.
Ok nice! Writing it down now!
Puerto Rico has a lot of African influences epecially with its food and music. I'm not sure if you have a car but if you get a chance go to Loiza and Piñones area its on Route 187 heading East. There you will find a lot of Afro Boricuas and the food is delicious. You're an [American] black man in Puerto Rico, but you're not the only black man there. Go to the places I've mentioned and you will find a see what I am talking about.
Got You!
Puerto ricans are very proud of our african ancestry. You are correct about the music, is very influenced by african heritage so is the food and many words. Im sure theres always someone racist but overall you could find prejudice like any other place in the World. The smaller islands around the csrribean such as siant thomas virgin islands, they are very intertwined with us. For many years we have work together in many fronts and share goods. As well as tourism visits and studying. There has been a surge in tourism in PR the past few years. People frpm many places come to visit...
I appreciate the insight! And yes! VERY Proud!
@trilleats Yeah , it is true. We sort of proud on our african roots. Though, we also got some pride on some taino and some european ( Though the last one is more like love and hate). I did noticed that some puerto rican can deny some of their african blood and overexagerate their european dna. Though, that is reducing thankfully. Though , weirdly puerto rican that look pretty mixed or white passing do not that much of issue of accepting their blackwood. Some of who are black passing weirdly deny when clearly they look blacks despite being mixed. Also, the reason you are going well here is cause you got a chill and bro vibe and we mingle well with that vibe. Que goze aquì y lo pase brutal aquí.
🧢 😂😭⚰️ We have a saying that ask "where is your grandma' "( y tu abuela a donde wstá)because the opposite.
🤷♂️😂😭⚰️
Ramón Betances and Albizu Campos disagrees with you hard asf lmfao 😂😭⚰️
Welcome to PR, hope you have a great experience.
Gracias!

There’s a BBQ place called San Juan Smokehouse at the Placita de Santurce. Try it 💪🏻 in San Juan
Writing It Down Now!
There's a big boxing match in Manatí on June 15th. Would be cool to get some of the public reactions to the fight
Will definitely look into it and see if I can make it happen!
I lived there for awhile.
We need to suport Matías he a beast
@@trilleatsmake it happen!!! Subriel Matias is the 140 IBF world champion making another title defense!!
respect! and all is goin to be good....❤
just chill,respect,learn and be happy. thank u for your visit to our islnd
No problem! Much love!
The residents of Loiza are mainly of African descent and still carry the African culture. For example the dance “la bomba” came from Africa, the santerismo, the Afro Latin music, etc. The Caribbean blacks have kept some of theire African traditions unlike the blacks on the mainland. We all can embrace our traditions and cultures but this world be a happier place if we choose to be colorblind and respect each other.
Thanks for the insight! And yes, so true!
I’m going to start off by saying keep grinding Brother you doing your thing and you’re doing it your way. Love the content on this one.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Good video with good information. I live here and the people are one of the best things about the island! I haven’t had any racial problems here like I’ve witnessed in the states. That alone is a breath of fresh air!
FACTS!
‼️‼️‼️
Brother welcome to the island I hope you feel right like home I'm no living in the island but we welcome you with open arms good luck God bless
Thank you brother!

PEACE, LOVE & RESPECT TO YOU MY BROTHER…FROM A PROUD AFRICAN-AMERICAN.
Fam much respect. I as a 🇵🇷 that lived & studied there. I can tell you as you know. People vibe with good energy but, there are some that still haven’t grown up or are just haters. You going to get that in All places unfortunately. 🇵🇷 is a beautiful & dangerous also. Just know that not All 🇵🇷 are like that & besides 🇵🇷 come in ALL Colors & Flavors. 👍🫡
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for your kind review. For BBQ food go to the Capital of Pork BBQ, Guavate in Cayey. Bc you are in San Juan go to Piñones, Carolina -Loiza for Seafood. Or if you are adventurous go to any Restaurant close to any Villa Pesquera. My fav is Naguabos.
Got it! Thanks!
Hi Trill welcome to PR if you want it taste some good bbq you can visit La Loma Leña in Canovanas, El Verde BBQ in Río Grande and Fuentes BBQ in Guaynabo.
Thank you for the insight and welcome!
Brotha as a Puerto Rican I must say that BLACKS are accepted in our culture. We stick to our roots that consist of Spain and Africa. Don’t forget that Blacks and Puerto Ricans created HIP HOP. Great video!!!
I agree! And much love! AND YES WE BOTH DID! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #HipHop
Nice bro, love the video. You should link with Black Puertoricans because you will experience something different then the lighter skin puertoricans. One love ❤️ ❤
Gon Keep that in mind!
No one will know your not Puerto Rican anyway we come in every shade.
💯
Oh one last thing "Negrito or Negrita " is a term of endearment here, im boiled egg yellow and my grandma would call me that , toma estos 20.00 mi negrita chula
thanks for the insight! lol
Thank you for the insight I’m a BLACK woman not an African American. It’s nice to see both accepted. 🧿I would like the information to the chat group. I’m trying to find a place for me to land from the main land.
In PR we are not focused in a persons skin color as in the states. As you said, people shouldn’t have that kind of prejuice when they come to visit us.
‼️
Yo son, thanks for the awesome video. I worked out there in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 for 8 months, and it was life changing. I'm in the middle of a custody and visitation case, as soon as that shits behind, I'll be looking to buy property out there. I like the Southern, Middle, and Western parts of the island. Specifically places like, Orocovis, Patillas, Mayagúez, Utuado, Adjuntas, Aibonito, and Cabo Rojo. Lovely place. I'll see you soon my brother. Keep doing your thing son. I'll be on the look out for you 💯👍🏾
All love! I’m here!
In PR we dont care if you're black or white we are all the same, we eat the same we talk the same there's no difference, but in the main land is way different to much division.
Absolutely true!
Yes sir!
🧢😂😭⚰️
My Black brothers the word BARBACOA WHICH IS BBQ IS FROM NATIVE TAINO ANCESTORS OF THE CARIBBEAN
Makes A lot Of Sense!
Learn something new everyday. Well this shows a connection between Puerto Ricans and blacks b/c we love a good barbeque.
Oh wow, that's dope. I live in Texas right now but originally from across the way on St. Croix USVI 🇻🇮. Puerto rican food is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 so enjoy our beautiful weather and be safe.😊
Much Love! Texas all day lol
Overall you had great things to say about The people of Puerto Rico. Great Video, Very Informative 👏 I was there 3 weeks ago. 😊 I was born in Puerto Rico but Raised in NY. You seem really happy In PR I wish you all the best. 🌴🌞
Thanks alot! Much appreciated!
You are welcomed here ....! You are a cool dude....! Lived in Texas for 45 years....Lived in Houston mainly...but also lived in Galveston, Austin, South Padre Island....
Texas fam! I appreciate the welcome!
If you want to start surfing u definitely need to go to the east or west municipalities, like Luquillo in the east, im from there, it has spots that are friendly to start practicing, playa “La pared” or playa “La selva” are the top beaches there, on the west side there’s Isabela, Arecibo and Rincon some of the most popular for surfing
I'm still thinking about it hahahaha
En PR todos tenemos algo de negro o africano pues somos una mezcla de 3 culturas: española, taina y africana por los esclavos que traian los españoles. Somos hospitalarios y humildes. Tratamos a los que vienen con respeto y los ayudamos. Como en todos lados existe algo de racismo y te lo digo como mujer negra puuertortiqueña! En general nuestra gente es espectacular y bondadosa. Disfruta! Aprende de nuestra cultura! Aprende español! Pero igusl aqui un gran porciento habla ingles. Siempre aparecerá quien te traduzca y si no pues el traductor del celular! 😀 Dios te bendiga!
I miss PR! I’m Afro American, lived there for 3 years…. I had am amazing life there and met outstanding people that are like family to me
I believe it!
I’m not pr! But I been going since 2011 we gotta link up and hit up some bbq! My homeboy from Stluis is in San Juan! Fall of the bone!
Bet!
EAGLE PRIDE! 🦅 Keep doing what you’re doing. Ahora, tengo que visitar PR. 👍🏾
E-FUNKKKKK! Appreciate the support brother! Most def!
Fashion wise we locals love to boost local designers. Also, you’ll notice a preference for less known European clothes brands. Lots of Puerto Ricans love to travel frequently to Europe, especially Spain. And it’s common to buy clothes from their mayor department store, “El Corte Inglés”. You’ve probably noticed we love Resort Wear type clothes, because like you said, it’s HOT 😅. Welcome to the island, mijo. 😉
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Any hurricanes or rapid weather changes....how are road conditions....what is it like driving there....traffic....THC.....sports....are you able to catch NFL NBA...do they hoop out there....
Go through my channel lol I actually touch on EACH one of these subjects
Channel poppin!
My dawg!
Did you know Arturo Alfonso Schoumburg, he’s a puertorican and the father of black history on Harlem New York
What's up bro 🙏 blessings from Minnesota 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 . A lot of people don't know that Puerto Rico is part of the states since ufffff ! Mexican immigrants are more popular here in Minnesota 😂 than us 🙄
Understand!
You go brother... visit beach in Arecibo, by the light house. My spot as a kid... good food. God bless....
I will check it out!
I recommend you La Estacion in Fajardo for BBQ and Mac & cheese 🫕
Thank you!
Bienvenido! Don't stay stuck in the San Juan area, enjoy the rest. The west is the best.
That's the plan!
We Love Blacks in PR,we dont don't discriminate
Good experience brother i subscribed loved your video❤💪🏼💪🏼🔥
Thanks for the subscription & support! Much love!
Are you serious!! Loiza is the fricken boom!! It's our main #1 african culture it was a Taino Indian chiefs daughter who married an african slave. You have to go to Loiza and see the Bomba! It is an Afro- rican dance . And if you want real BBQ, go to Fajardo . La estacion.
🇵🇷✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾🇵🇷 AFRICAN ALL DAY!!!!!!!!
Appreciate the insight!
lol deadass i need a shirt that says “so island like that” hahaha thank you so much for moving to my little piece of la d and reppin it❤️
hahaha for sure! much love!
Puerto Ricans are part african my brother...
YESSIR! FACTS!
He say he knows but it really doesn't click with him. He think he is blacker than us . Lmao
the roughest beaches are in the north side you want a calm one there in the south really nice
Headed there soon!
People need to stop lying and tell the truth there is racism, but not like in the US very low percentage usually more class racism. Great videos by the way.🔥🇵🇷
🙏🏾
As long as you respect our national identity…our Country, everyone is welcome!
This is NOT the United States. Behave accordingly, and you will find the most welcoming, loving people you’ll ever see.
Also, BBQ? Fajardo, La Estación. Go there.
Got it!
Hi I'm a black Dominican in nyc by lefrak city in queens,and try to get along with everyone. I hope things continue to go well for you. Hope you can learn some Spanish and that should go a long way. Good luck. GOD bless
Thanks!
One thing is 5-0/po-po. You will not be harassed by 5-0 like you would on the mainland.
I have noticed that since being here. Focused on real problems it seems like.
You be fine being in Puerto Rico. Us boricuas love everyone as long as you respect and have decency for everyone. Don't come to Puerto Rico with your pants sagging that is frowned upon here. The food is very good and the music and festivals are the best
I love Puerto Rico they are my people ❤
Go to Guavate in Cayey, you will fall in love with pig "a la barita". We respect everyone who comes to PR, if they show respect to us and behave properly in open spaces. Enjoy the island has too much to offer.
Ok nice!
Bro im from PR all my fam is dark skin ✊🏿quick subjection CRASH BOAT AGUADILLA ONE OF THE BEST BEACH ON THE WESTSIDE
Ok bet! Appreciate you!
I just visited Texas for the first time.On the plane to PA as I type this.I just had 2M smokehouse in San Antonio yesterday🔥🔥I’d go back just to eat there again.I also experienced that Texas heat😂I see why you’re in PR.The heat down there is different.
hahahaha good ol Texas smokehouse!
@@trilleats I am a Puerto Rican living in Florida. I lived in San Antonio, Texas in 2001-2002 and was enamored with the barbecue with Mesquite wood. You should try Lechon Asado (Roast Pork) in Guavate area.
Most folks in PR r not into material stuff or brand name clothes all wee want is a piece of mind n enjoy nature shorts sandles n keep it moving 😊😊😊😊
I totally agree!
🧢 The street are into that, just like every other street of this part of the world. Smh You need to go out more( or not) and stop this country ass shi of spreading your limited jibara perception of the world. 😂😭⚰️
We got the BIGGEST MALL in the caribbean for a reason.
The stats says WE LIVE IN THE MALL 😂😭⚰️
Hey bro I live in Puerto Rico I watch the channel all the time. Let's link up I can help you. I know everything there is to know about my beautiful island. I'm at your service bro.
The Puerto Rican people are just people. We don't look at race or color. Here on our beautiful island we have all the colors and we are all Puerto Ricans and part of humanity.

@@trilleats awesome I sure will thanks
Dude if you start surfing then you are never going to leave.
Lol you never know!
Greetings dear listen why don’t you go and start a hip hop tour business or a hip hop party boat. I think that would be lucrative
Nice Idea! Definitely will look into it!
I love Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 & love u too ❤️
If you stay here in Puerto Rico long enough you will eventually not see yourself as any different from anybody else in PR. I see you titled this black and living in PR. To us your an American living in Puerto Rico. We don’t have a racial divide because we are all mixed. We have a saying: “y tu abuela adonde esta” which means where’s your grandma because we all have a grandma with African decent. As long as you’re respectful you will be welcomed and become and adopted puertorican. Best of luck and success in your journey 😊
Understood! Thank you!
One of the bbq places is La Estacion which is right in front of the margarita bar I invited you. Get some grub cross the street get a Marg. ✌️✌️
Ok bet! Putting it on the list!
Guavate is known for roasting pigs. When being served make sure you tell the person to put in the "cuerito" too. So Puerto eicans have three blood lines: Taino, African and español. You could check the history online. Boricua is taino for puerto rican. Thats why we say "Yo soy Boricua" . Bori .
Appreciate the insight!
My brother do they have bbq in puertorico ? Did you know that the literal word Barbacoa or actually barabicu is a Taino word it was invented in puertorico and the carribean islands
Stay up peace 💯🙌🏼
I'm not saying they don't have bbq at all ... I think I'm moreso referring to the type of bbq I grew up on ... but I definitely do appreciate the insight as that does make alot of sense in regards to the word barbacoa & bbq!
I enjoy your videos!!! Thanks a lot for sharing your views and experience. Can you talk about Texas too?
Sure thing! Will Do a comparison video!
Welcome to Puerto Rico, bienvenidos a Puerto Rico.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
As you may already noticed, on here we're mostly mix-raced.....Many mixed-whites, many mixed-browns and many mixed-blacks. And yes, a few pure whites (caucasians), a few pure browns ("Trigueños", mostly descendants of native "Taino" natives) and a few pure blacks (mostly in the Loiza town, but also spreaded throughtout the island)....Yes, there are clearer people that consider themselves "white", but if you look at their face features in reality they are mix-raced. And yes, you could find some kind of "stealth discrimination", (very rare, but yes, it exists), but you won't find race based neighborhoods like back in the mainland! 😊
I agree! It’s dope!
Martin's BBQ in bayamon decent!
I will check it out!
Umm..things must have changed when it comes to dressing up, because when I was growing up on the island, people used to dress to the nines just to go to the video store. That was a while ago btw..lol!
Possibly lol
Still like that this dude is just new and dont hang out in the projects and the real "calentón " in P.R. that's all . Lol
It's still like that here on the West side where I live!
For Puerto Rican / African culture go to Loiza or Piñones. I’m mixed race and you’ll find me in Piñones often.
Got it! And ok cool!
What’s group name in the app??
Salute brother! How long do you have living in the island? Im from Trujillo Alto living in Boston now.
About 3 Months Now!
Thanks for sharing.
No problem!

Im dying to go back home I was born in Puerto Rican but raised back and forth from Jersey and PR. I need a job to be able to go back im not the type of female to not work.

Appreciate it!
Every thing is good out side San Juan

My brother in Christ do the Puerto Rican local women mess with the brothers ?
Yes!
We accept everyone, but don’t come with BS or being loud like if you’re in the mainland. Just be respectful and no cussing, and use the dress code according to your place. I’ve seen some girls wearing bathing suits everywhere and being loud and disrespectful!! So be nice because we love everyone are very welcoming. Have a nice day!!😊😊
You as well! Have a good day!
