  • @gtenshi I will like to send you several video links from other states in Panama, the West Indians lived mainly in the city and in the island of Colon. follow the links. My Family doesn't speak English, neither my grand parents, or great grand parents, they are originaly from slavery in Panama with Spanish and Portuguese last names. If you take a trip to Panama visit DeCameron is in Clocle, Anton, I have a lot of Family there also, are mainly black with curly hair they dont speak any english

  • @gtenshi First of all West African slaves in panamafor over 300 hundred years all thru Panama 9 states, Who told you that Panama did not have slaves. Well there is a different group that arrived to Panama in 1904 to build the Panama Canal, they are West Indians Caribbean British speaking Panamanians, the USA gave them preference over the native and black Panamanians because we didn't know how to speak English. The West Indians said they where superior than us because of the US. gave them prefer

  • @ResurrectingYourSpir Interesting. Where did you find this information? The one about blacks in Chiriqui?

  • In 1918, US troops invaded Chriqui, and occupied and for two years and many of the black latino Panamanians ran for their lives to puerto Armuelles and to Volcan to live, because the US Marines killed many and nothing was done about the situation. a lot of racism and prejudice towards dark skinned Panamanians. This is what Americans did in order to white wash and make Chiriqui white. The same the French did in Veraguas but not as bad has Americans

  • @gtenshi Hi I will happy to tell you a little about Panama the slaves from West Africa built Panama. Chiriqui is the third larges state of Panama, David is the capital a lot of Saphardic Jews where living there before Spain started slavery, which many were killed, by Inquisitions. it was build by the West African slaves. They worked in coffee farms, sugar cain, tabacco fields, rice, corn and vegetable many of them were cattle and fisherman. Chiriqui slaves inherit the land after slavery.

  • Panama te amo soy tu Hija. 

  • @ResurrectingYourSpir Plz tell me more. I'm kinda of a mud, too. My father's family came from Barbados; he's mulatto, born in Panama City. My mom's family is from France and she was born in Veraguas. I was born in Chiriqui. What could you tell me about slaves in Chiriqui? I'm really interested to know. Panama, crisol de razas
