I may not be in favor some of the things said by Roberto Mucaro Boerro but I must as a relative stand with him to tell the people viweing this video that the Taino American Indians have the right to promote our culture and bring out the truth as to the Taino People of yesteryear and today.

This is a slap in the face to the full-blooded indigionous people of the americas. It's one thing to honor an ancestor, and another to pretend you are one. Spanish pilagers, African slaves, and American natives = mix of the modern latin american. Time to come to grips.

This just goes to show you how hard the mulattos of Puerto Rico will go to become something they are not. Reaching very hard, and so desperately for an indentity. Where are the written documents to back up this "language" they are speaking (almost making it up as they go).

Cada boricua ya sea nacido en Boriquen o en los Estados Unidos tiene sangre Taina. Como boricuas, que somos, tenemos el derecho de identificarnos y defender nuestra herencia taina. El que no acepta esa realidad historica de nosotros definitivamente pierde y se le muere una tercera parte de su realidad.
