Ninja Hood, listen to me homie, please. Take it from my POV.
I'm Portuguese, my parents are from there. They lived not even 10 miles away from the Spanish border in Northeast Portugal. Portugal and Spain although very different are very culturally similar. As you may know, Portugal and Spain led the slave trade into the Americas, (you'd probably be speaking Portuguese if it wasn't for the Pope...thats another story) Portugal got the land of Brazil while Spain got the rest. What Spain and Portugal did to the Indian and Black Slaves were horrible man but many people there continue to feel honored and patriotic (Racial Ignorance) for what they did. When I was in Portugal (Tras Montes) or Spain (Castile Lyon) they would ask me a bunch of questions like how is it living in America with all those N's? with all those Puerto Rican N's? and PR Indios? In Portugal they would say the same thing but it would be Brazilians instead. When the Spanish & Portuguese took advantage of the new worlds resources while raping Indians or killing/raping Black slaves, they made it necessary to instill their language and culture upon them because the Spanish/Portuguese felt superior. Many Dominicans (Like You Ninja Hood) are still carrying down the Black Slave/Indian owner mentality that the Spanish spread throughout your culture, the mentality of White is better. It's the same problem in Brazil, the Portuguese slave owners made the Blacks, Indians, and Mulattos feel inferior and many Brazilians to this day, 200 Years later, still believe, the lighter you are the more pure.
I'm just trying to help you out Ninja and let you know at the end of the day (like someone posted earlier) the European are the ones winning. I understand that many Dominicans are a mix of races but many Dominicans have more Black DNA then Indian or Spanish. Why can't Dominicans continue to be proud of their national heritage but still honor there race? While I've been living here I've noticed that their are many Hispanics who still honor there race like the Mexican Aztecs and Peruvian Inca races. I'm just saying man, just trying to add input from the European side of view.

Yea, there are definitely alot of light haired/light eyed Portuguese but it's just ridiculous when the darker ones talk @#$% about BrasiliansOriginally Posted by CoupeIt88
That Portuguese soccer team doesn't really do justice because some of the players are African or Brazilians, but The Portuguese/Spanish Race and Bloodline is a whole different discussion, yes we are darker because we are southern European but their are plenty of light haired and especially light eyed people in Portugal, Spain, and Italy, but thats a whole other thread man.
I'm trying to stay on the topic and let people know the type of values, culture, and ideologies the Spanish placed upon Indians and Blacks. Those type of ideologies that are still present in Hispanic culture today
