@kwacou Yes! West Indians/Caribbeans/Antilleans have lots in common! Puerto Rico and Jamaica have so many similarities! Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Antigua, Martinique, Dominican Republic ALL have the same cultures!

@pupusoft no, an afrocentist would say Puerto Rico is apart of the Black Dispora, which it is...anywhere with Black populations is apart of the black dispora....does that make you feel bad or something? why do you care, just curious?

[vassephardi]

Thanks for the great upload.

pupu is an idiot,majority of puertoricans are partially west african and this is a proven fact, there are some that are whiter but thats because they are only partially puerto rican because their families are recent immigrants to pr...i know this because its in my family and many others from humacao anyway enjoy the video because believe it or ot that is your culture if you are boricua
