The Origin of The Cape Verdean Nationality

[briquetaverne]

Is French spoken there by the Cape Verdian citizens also? Is there a railroad anywhere in the country?

[maxmatt4]

Both my parents were born there. My moms black, but my dad is of Portugese decent. Alot of people think im Puerto Rican because of my mixed skin color. When people ask me what I am, i tell i don't even know. Im here to learn :)

[sofullofmusic]

There was also inter-colonial migration to Cape Verde because it was an important shipping center for trade (not just slaves). So Cape Verdeans are descendants of Africa, Goa (India), Macau (China), Portugal, Sephardic Jew etc. You can see the rich diversity in Cape Verdeans in diaspora & 10 islands. They've migrated & assimilated around the world for generations. Some families know these ethnicities are in their family tree. The mixing is not just from slaves. Cape Verde's history is complex.

[newbedford13]

they said capeverde wrong didnt they ?

[GiveMeThoseTaquitos]

Thank you Youtube, I finally get it. I am a dark Cape Veardean but half of my family are lighter than us and I always asked questions about it. I finally get it.

[bribabyyo]

wow im guinea bissauan & cape verdean(: proud of it

[617212305312213]

@daniels37: Not all of it was by rape, get your facts straight. You should be ashamed of yourself. You cannot even distanguish the difference in being black from being African. The term black was socially constructed by Europeans, They used that term to identify people that were brown to dark skin when they were first exposed to them.

[biddles790]

@617212305312213 Stockholm syndrome, is a form of mental abuse and rape.

Wikipedia:"In psychology, Stockholm Syndrome is an apparently paradoxical psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and have positive feelings towards their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness."

[macoulin]

race....phhhttt.....the cancer on the soul civilization...race doesn't have anything to do with being cape verdean.....race doesn't have anything to do with anything.....wake up....

[vtwzy]

gyeah, wheez black.

[macoulin]

some is....some isn't...

[617212305312213]

Who ever wants the official website source about the presidents comment about Cape Verdean people, I can inbox it to you personally because I keep receiving an error when I try to post it here.

[617212305312213]

even the current president of Cape Verde states, refering to the people of Cape Verde, " maioritariamente mestica" under the Histora section.

[617212305312213]

@nichemangui, most the books in the United States about Cape Verdean people are subjective. The documents and books I have are from Portugual, which was provided to me by My uncle who lives in Lisbon. I have only one copy of each, and they are written in Portuguese. The old documents states that the majority of Cape Verdeans, which is 71% of the population, are Mesticos, which is the portuguese word for being two or more races.

[daniels37]

@617212305312213 THROUGH RAPE, CAPE VERDEANS ARE AFRICANS AND DON'T YOUR FOR GET IT. FUCK BEING CALLED A GOT DAMN MESTICOS. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAME OF YOURSELF; WE ARE AFRICANS OK! THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH OUR PEOPLE, WE DON'T WANT TO IDENTIFY WITH AFRICA. THERE IS NOTHING IN EUROPE FOR US, THEY MIS TREAT US THERE.

[caboverde1276]

wweking...we r not

[chandler06]

I love my ppl, and cape verdean history is so unique, being we can trace all our ppl str8 home, but all we call ourselves r given names, that we have grown to love, who were we b4 1492, before portuguese rounded us up and others that moved to make separate colonies. We were and will always be Moors, gr8 ppl that we should never forget about nor forget to claim as our birth right. Love and respect.

[chandler06]

any present day portuguese and spanish, were only christians, and were from, the castille, aragon empire, while portuguese were part of the leon. Portugal was a county, not a country. Remember we ran the whole iberian peninsula and what today is sapin and portugal til 1492. We are the moors still to this day, portuguese slave masters called us cape verdeans, like moors in america, being called, black, african american, negro, mexican, latino, etc, these r psuedo european given names.

[Sarbachu]

@chandler06 are you portuguese? cause you should know when Portugal became a country

[chandler06]

@Sarbachu , Hey there Sarbachu, I am, and yes I'm aware of when the province of Portucale was turned to a kingdom after Afonso Henriques went to war with his mother and made the region his own. But one must remember the name Portuguese is synonymous depending on what era your referring to, at one time, saying you were portuguese meant, u were a hebrew (not jewish), even in America Moors from the region would come here and call themselves portuguese.

[chandler06]

@Sarbachu , MY main point is, its a westernized idea to name yourself after the place you were born, this moves ppl all over the map. Like today we have europeans in america calling themselves american just because they were born here, if an irish man is born in Ethiopia, is he not still an Irish man ? Today ppl totally neglect who they are for where they're from, Portugal had hebrews (moreno's) african-moors (morisco's) , arabs, and others, yet they were still who they were there. Cheers!!

[chandler06]

Just to note, those pirates,were the berbery coast pirates, our relatives, who attacked the portuguese, and later the americans, slicing their necks, is where US soldiers got the term "leather necks" from leather straps they'd wear to prevent it. And the trading banner they flew, today its the skull and crossbones u see in all pirate movies.Lets not forget about the hebrew moors, that fled spain (al-andalus) , commonly known as black jews, jews of spain.

[JUSTINIANOTUBE1]

@chandler06 the pirates were not berber, they were british and french, the queen of england sent them on a mission to steal and lute from the Portuguese and Spaniards. I;m from cidade velha, the town in the video, almost all our pirates were europeans who bombed the cities into ruin.

[PharaohII]

@chandler06 hmmmmmmmmmmm

[cindysunshine08]

You don't pronounce the e at the end of Verde when it's pronounced in english...it annoys me when people say it like that lol...The video is interesting though. I just learned a lot more about my origin.

[JUSTINIANOTUBE1]

people argue about Cape Verdean race/origins, but what they need to do understand that we are 9 islands in the middle of an important historic trade route in the Atlantic ocean, slave trade dominated our history, but so did the Indian spice trade, Europeans from many nations beyond Portugal settled Cape Verde and mixed with the local population, so did Asians and Arabs. Cape Verdeans are a product of centuries of inter-racial marriages, each town, family and Island has a unique story to tell

[Nedivas02047]

@JUSTINIANOTUBE1 PLEASE 11 Islands. 10 islands where people live on. Genti de Cabo Verde e nha povo.

And Yes all 11 islands have a wonderful, but sometimes painful story to tell.

[JUSTINIANOTUBE1]

@Nedivas02047 NO, 10 islands, 9 islands where people live on; Fogo, Brava, Santiago, Sao Vicente, Boa Vista, Maio, Sal, Santo Antao, Sao Nicolau the tenth island of Santa Luzia is uninhabited, and the others are islets, tiny peices of land, people live on 9 islands.

[Sarbachu]

@Nedivas02047 can you tell me the name of the 11th island? till today the portuguese had only discovered 10. Please, aculture-se da sua terra antes de abrir a boca e dizer asneiras.

[Nedivas02047]

@Sarbachu Between Santa Luzia and Sao Nicolau. Watch the aditude. e ka ten um nome. mas ta fazi nada because its an Island of Cabo Verde. Portugal could not use the Island so there was no need to name it, or to make it exist. You know how they use to be back then.

[daniela2442]

. Just like all other people of African descent, Cape Verdeans come in all different shades. From lighter than Thurgood Marshall and darker than Wesley Snipes. That does not constitute them being 1/2 white & 1/2 black. Portugal also ruled over Angola, but that does not make the inhabitants of that country "mulatto". France colonized Haiti, and just because the people of that country still continue to speak French, it does not make them 1/2 French.

[Luso515PorTuoGraal]

@daniela2442 But in cape Verde happen much more miscigenation than on Angola in the past. In fact the first settlers in Cape Verde(without inhabitants before) were Portuguese, Jewish-Portugues etc. around the isles, than came many Africans from varios backgrounds, wich make them more mix.

[daniels37]

@daniela2442 YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON THIS ISSUE!

[alrightvegemite]

@daniela2442

Cape Verseans are a group of mixed race individuals. That is undeniable historical fact.

The range of lighter skins comes from European ancestors. Fact.

[daniela2442]

In between that time there was some race mixing (many times involuntarily) that was taking place. Now although there are Cape Verdeans who may marry a white person, it would be their children who are 1/2 white & 1/2 black.

[daniela2442]

which is mulatto. very far from the truth. Cape Verde is in fact off the west coast of Africa. Portugal did colonize the island for many years until their independence was gained in 1976.

[fulani31]

The lesson for today is to look up the Fulani people. Many Cape Verdeans are decendents of this West African group. You will find it's like looking in the mirror

[JUSTINIANOTUBE1]

[jenemartins]

For Dizzyboy08 and the rest of you who dont or wont indetify with your African and Portuguese heritage:

I am Cape Verdean, though born in America. My grandfather's father was from Portugal and was a political exile in Cape Verde. My Cape Verdean grandmother was more than likely African, or at least 1/2 African. I wish all the IGNORANT talk would cease, We are survivors of a cruel government and are now free people. Speak in a way that gives dignity to our Cape Verdean heritage.

[cal105]

Cape Verdeans are of african and european decent you

[cindysunshine08]

@cal105 Cape Verdeans are an eclectic mix of various cultures, even including Asian, not just Euroean and African alone.

[Dizzyboy08]

[papadoc2k4]

@Dizzyboy08 U AINT SHIT! UR FUCKIN' CONFUSED!

[kysim26]

you see i know you was a WHITE CRACKER AT HEART!!

[MXC1234]

Whether it is the blame on religion or hierarchy we cannot afford to fail ourselves. If the others who werent stolen put up a fight which continent becomes the worlds power?

[MXC1234]

My predecessors were prisoners of war or hostages to the root of all evil which is $. Stolen from the homeland then scattered around the world like seeds to be confined and/or reduced to a less significant people. The toil turned their worlds right side up ours upside down. Through it all we still look towards hope and love for strength and emerge stronger.

[617212305312213]

xcore1, I'mCape verdean too, I read sources online, I read books about it, and my parents told me everything about it,. I explain to friends and people online about the history of cape verde and what etinicity they because people don't know anything about it.

[nichemangui]

@617212305312213 can you suggest some books on the subject for me? thank you

[617212305312213]

In Cape Verde 71% of its people are mixed such as, mulatto's, mestizo's, Zombo's etc, meaning theres different mixture in the blood, 28% are African, meaning their blood is 100% pure African and 1% European meaning 100% pure Caucasians, there some full blooded Arabs, native north & south American, etc Cape Verdeans but are not mention in statistics because there are not a lot of them. Most of the pure European descent cape Verdeans and multiracial Cape Verdeans live aboard.

[xcore1]

how do u know so much about my country??? hehehe

[617212305312213]

The island was also used as a prison champ where Europeans were sent for crimes committed and where millions of Jews were sent from all over from acquisition. Portugal ruled the island with some Spaniards, Spain and Portugal were as one as the Iberian kingdom, Italians were granted permission by Portugal to fish in the island. As a result many different forms of mixing began, consensually and rape. Later on, Cubans mixed in when they were sent to help Cape Verde fight for independence.

[617212305312213]

Moors and other ancient civilizations first discovered the island and visited it for rituals, they didnt live there Portugal then ran into the island by mistake while on their expedition. They gathered sub-Saharan Africans and brought them to the island to work as slaves, the island became a trading hub where, Arabs and indigenous Americans were also brought over for servitude.

[617212305312213]

Please understand, I study history, I don't make assumptions, I'm Cape Verdean and my parents told me about Cape Verdean history, I also research it on my own. Cape Verde is a nationality, not a race. Cape Verde is chains of islands off the coast of Africa, it not in Africa, The people races vary do to the islands long history.

[Slave2thegreatest]

We all share the struggle of identification, some of it is internalized and some institutionalized, some transformed into self-hatred which is most often demonstrated in lack of sisterly love in same race communities, inner family conflicts and so forth. Nevertheless, the black sub-groups in Americas should unite under one identity. Not Afro-American, or jamaican-Ameri.. or cape Ver-Amer.. but Black and American, therefore ridding of the myth the blacks are minorities in America then, POWER.

[sexiimamii]

i love cape verdeans but i really dislike the ones that think they are not black and feel that they are better than them. some of them feel that because their hair is wavy and their skin is extra bright that they are white. cape verde is an african country which means that cape verdeans are black period!

[voiceofthapeople]

I couldn't agree more. People need to embrace their Black heritage and not measure themselves in terms of European blood.

[Dizzyboy08]

you sound fucking stupid im half puerto rican and cape verdean but i kno cape verdeans are not african FULLY we are mostly portuguese

[kysim26]

Most cape verdeans look like blacks and spanish people. They dont look like whites at all..and thats what portuguese look like..WHITES

[Dizzyboy08]

it doesnt matter we aint we are portuguese cuz there are some who look white and spanish and black thats why we are MIXED just like dominicans and puerto ricans

[kysim26]

I understand that but dont say "most of you look portuguese"...Cause thats really not true...

and another thing i think some of the blacks up in the new england area is like that..Saying that there dominican or puerto ricans not all of us..

[Dizzyboy08]

yo wtf are you a cape verdean expert i didnt say most of us LOOK i said mostly thats are culture and origin i kno some look black as fuck just like dominicans and puerto ricans got some ppl that look black as fuck

[kysim26]

YEs U DID SAID THAT..BE HONEST YOU WANNA BE A CRACKER!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dizzyboy08]

nikka read my comment puto I said some look white,spanish and black dumb ass and you if you do your research i have white in me im not saying im white im just execepting what it is cause most of my family are all light skinned on both sides i just except it for what it is instead of being a closed minded fuck!!

[papadoc2k4]

@Dizzyboy08 YOUR DENIAL IS SOOO OBVIOUS! I DON'T KNOW WHAT U LOOK LIKE BUT, ALL OF THE CAPE VERDEANS IV'E MET IN THE BOSTON AREA LOOK BLACK! ANYONE WOULD TAKE THEM FOR BLK OR HISPANIC! BUT, IF YOU WANT TO BE CLOSER TO THE WHITE MAN, KNOCK YOURSELF OUT! PEACE!

[daniela2442]

sme portugese are blacks

[kysim26]

not the 100% ones right.. cause portugo is in Europe?

[daniela2442]

yes and black people have been in europe for ages and ages.Black people are pretty much everywhere,Not Just africa.

I have a portugese friend,100 percent black

[kysim26]

o okay i feel you on that...:)

[Dizzyboy08]

how the fuck is it an african country if cape verde gained independence from motherfucking portugal! you think that cuz its close to africa but DR is close to america but if yall come to america yall are imigrants just like all the rest right

[milton520]

cape verde, my home country, i love it!!! =D

[617212305312213]

some of these comments only demostrate stupidity, please get educated, you can't assume a country's demograph based on geography, it's determined through it's history, I'm Cape verdean and I know my history. In cape verde, it's population is 1% european, 71% multiracial, and 28% african descent. However, all the european cape verdeans and mixed people migrated everywhere, check the cape verdean diaspora, african cape verdeans are the minorities.

[selrik007]

you cant say african cape verdean because cape verdean are african!cape verde is in african continen so...and cape verdean are half part black and white because they are half parte from african slaves and european which where in cape verde long time ago.its means that people from cape verde has not a defination of own race.

[krakmaxter]

CV are black...

It just that white atacked them country and force them to emigrate to Guiné-Bissau...Thats where they got there language, creole...Language of guine-bissau...And yes, creole its naturally from guine, not cape...

So, cape are a litle white cause white atact them country and violate many of them woman and etx, the bad stuffs only to colonize and dominate them country...

White have try the same thing on guine, but guineenses are tuff, the kid their ass...without guns

[AFRIKANU33]

thats because they are bunch of fkn idiots. yes we are africans and yes we are black

[voiceofthapeople]

I think this is almost like some of those Latin countries who have people with African ancestry...Alot of people who are gentically black don't consider themselves black. I think it's another from of self-hate, and Europeans have made us unconious;y hate our black heritage. I wish black americans, Afro-latinos, and Africans would let go of this division, we are all victims of European dominance.

[sexiimamii]

Cape Verde is not a Latin country.

[voiceofthapeople]

I'm not saying it's a Latin country, I said it's like one because most people of black roots in Latin America think like cape verdans when it comes from distancing themselves from their black heritage.

[sexiimamii]

oh okay i get it now. thank you for clarifying =]

[voiceofthapeople]

no probelm. BTW your photo of yourself looks great!

[sexiimamii]

thanx =]

[voiceofthapeople]

no problem...

[dwaynetjuhhh]

i am cabo verde 2, but my mom is from holland my father is from cabo verde, and i'm light tinted 2 , not white but light tinted

[selrik007]

you are so so right! nobody can go against your comment=)

[voiceofthapeople]

God bless you brother for embracing your black roots.

[krakmaxter]

Of corse CV are black...

It just that white atacked them country and force them to emigrate to Guiné-Bissau...Thats where they got there language, creole...Language of guine-bissau...And yes, creole its naturally from guine, not cape...

So, cape are a litle white cause white atact them country and violate many of them woman and etx, the bad stuffs only to colonize and dominate them country...

White have try the same thing on guine, but guineenses are tuff, the kid their ass...without guns

[voiceofthapeople]

What I heard about the Cape Verdans is, most of them don't see themselves as black Africans at all, in fact they think of themselves as white or more than white! I know Cape Verdans are mixed with Portuguesse and some oter stuff, but with that said, it does give them a right to think there better than blacks and ignore there black Africn heritage.

[fulani31]

Cape Verdeans do not ignore their Black African lineage. Like with any group that has gone through colonialization there are issues with race. This can be found with African Americans, Latin America, and even some parts of mainland Africa(skin bleaching etc). That comment was really stupid. Like with any group emerging out colonialization self identity and discovering ones true self takes time.

[voiceofthapeople]

I've even tlaked to some people who are Cape Verdan on Youtube and they said that some do see themselves as better than black andl ook down on that, so shut up. THey also said, others do embrace it. So I was partly right, and I saw a documentary that showed that Cape some Cape Verdans did see themselves as not black African.

[Deedovich]

Capeverdians have mixed culture and when you're in cape verde you see people who do not look at all as africans some evne look asian or white. For example in my family you see blue eyed people with blond hair. Capeverdians see themselves as a mixed race: white/black. They do recognize their african rituals and even embrace it like at the festival of St.John when they dance batuku :).'We're proud of that but also proud of our european tradition like morna.

[Deedovich]

Most capeverdian say: we are not african nor are we european nos é caboverdeanos( we are capeverdians) which isn't such a bad thing to say since we aren't pure african nor pure european but we also recognize our slavery past such as the song of Lura Raboita de Manel where she sings that they took away or women and gave them away. I do know some people think that we capeverdians donnot consider ourself as black but when you go to capeverde they proudly present themselves with their heritage :)

[voiceofthapeople]

Thanks for the insight, I'm assuming you're Cape Verdean since you know alot.

I didn't mean to offend anyone with my comments, I was just presenting actually evidence where documentaries and other Cape Verdeans have validated this. I know not all do this, since soemone of Cape Verdean descent on youtube recently let me know that many do embrace their black heritage. But they told me manyy used to do the opposite in the past. I guess things have changed....

[Deedovich]

Nah i know you don't want to offend anyone :) and you do for a fact have truth in what you say i can't deny it 100% since ofcourse hunderd years of slavery and being stripped away from your human rights because of your skin colour does derange your perspective about colour that is true..I was curious so i asked my mom and she said that as a kid growing up in a big family they never really had problems with skin colour since our family variated from fair skin to darkest skin but sometimes she

[Deedovich]

did meet people who had a deranged way of looking at the skincolour of a person my best friend's grandma who's still alive has that mentality but my mom said that those type of people where put apart for their ignorance literally scowled at. But it's true that slavery,the punishements,the rapings,the misleading ideas of the slaveowners back then and the hunderds of years past by have had his toll in our people. I hope that one day the whole issue about skincolour wont be one anymore :)

[voiceofthapeople]

Definently agree, peace and god bless.

[fulani31]

Like I said this exists any every ex colonial group. Including African American, Latin American, Mainland Africa, Asia etc.....I can tell you one thing the younger generation of cape verdean are doing much better then some other excolonial groups....I mean some groups have not even come to terms with their hair nevermind race. I hate when other African groups try to put down cape verdeans about accepting their african roots when they just as guilty.

[voiceofthapeople]

I wasn't putting them down, what? I was just presenting a contovertial issue, that is true or was. But, yea, someone of Cape Verdean decsent on Youtube, told me many Cape Verdeans embrace their African side today. I'm glad to see the change. But I will point the finger at blakc Americans alos, casue alot of us aren't comfortable with being black.

[Dizzyboy08]

that is true

[Dizzyboy08]

exactly when your MIXED YOUR MIXED! thas it no questions asked i mean yeah we all got some african in us ,dominicans,puerto ricans,capeverdeans, cubans but all the races i just called out ARE MIXED ! so no we aint black opposed to a person who only has black roots ONLY wit NO MIXTURES AT ALL

[voiceofthapeople]

Actually, most African Americans who consider themselves black have mixtures as well. Lots of African Americans have Native American and White blood from slave times. I don't look it, but my own family has Native american roots on both sides and some white ancestors too. But I consider myself full black. So we are all mixed really, but in America they make you define as one race even, if you have mixed heritage opposed ot other countries. You understand?

[daniela2442]

everyone is pretty much mixed.even full blooded africans.even asians,we all have sme mix in our roots.

im black but have scottish in my ancestry?

[AFRIKANU33]

fuck all the portuguese people

[atomus]

I notice you like to leave that message in the comments section of many videos. What would you like to achieve by spreading this hate? Fuck the Portuguese? One could argue that's how Cape Verdeans were made. My father is Cape Verdean and I consider both African and Portuguese to be part of my history, culture and blood. So pull your head out of your hateful ass and go educate yourself.

[Dizzyboy08]

too be real people think cape verdeans as only black cuz thats the only way they can classify someone wit nappy hair ,had this chick see a capeverdian wit hair better then hers then she started to second guess it lol we all people but yet ppl are still fucking racis

[kysim26]

nigga you stupied and a cracker..You just like my ex grandfather rather be a devil then a nubien king!

[Dizzyboy08]

nubien king ,devil wtf! ayo get the fuck outta here this nikka is black thinking hes a fucking capeverdean expert when you really don't kno shit

[kysim26]

I like everything about cape veade the history and the people. Am a black american!!

[Dizzyboy08]

yo some black people be tryna be cape verdean and dominican and shit when they really not i kno mad ppl who faked that shit

[voiceofthapeople]

Yea, I heard of some people do that. I hate that crap, becasue when blacks lie and say their something else, they're revealing their self hate. Personally, I'm black and glad to be. I know I have native americans roots also a few generations back, but I consider myself black and nothing more. I'm glad I'm dark and everything, I don't want to be a self hating black pretending to be something I'm not.

[kysim26]

ME HAS WELL:)

[voiceofthapeople]

Glad to hear that, just wish more blkac people would embrce their blackness and stop self hating.

[kysim26]

I here you..am talking about some of the rappers,athletes,and most who is nothing but HOUSE NIGGAS..

wE HAS A PEOPLE BE DOING EACH OTHER DIRTY MORE THEN THE CRACKER MAN..BY KILLING EACH OTHER AND SELLING OUT EACH OTHER..FOR THE CRACKER MAN THAT DONT EVEN CARE FOR THEM:)

[voiceofthapeople]

Yea, alot of our black enertainers have sold out. It's ashame alot us are self destructive. All the stuff I found out about the industry and alot our black entertainers has turned me off from alot of rap and etc. We need some positive black people for the people!

YOU AINT CAPE VERDEAN AND THATS WHY YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT YOUR AFRICAN CULTURE OR HERITAGE. CABO VERDE IS AN AFRICAN COUNTRY. ANGOLA , GUINE BISSAU, ANGOLA AND SAO TOME ALL GAINED THEIR INDEPENDENCE FROM PORTUGAL AND THEY ARE STILL AFRICANS. IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU MIXED, IM MIXED BUT I AM STILL AFRICAN. DONT EVEN CLAIM CV BECAUSE YOU AN EMBARASSMENT. JUST CLAIM PR BECAUSE PR PPL DUMB AS HELL.
