Duerme, negrito filipino

Photographs of Negrito people.
Song: Duerme negrito, by Mercedes Sosa.
In American-occupied Philippines, while millions of mainstream Hispanic Filipinos were being slaughtered, and military restrictions prevented the movement of the American and local press, the lense of Dean C. Worcester, member of the first Filipino Comission and secretary of Interior for the colonial government, provided the Americans with a fake, set-up collection of Filipinos as they should be seen: a bunch of tiny primitive tribes badly in need of Uncle Sam's protection. Black and white pictures belong to Dean C. Worcester's collection as kept at University of Michigan.

LETRA / LYRICS
Duerme, duerme negrito,
que tu mama tá en el campo,
negrito.

Duerme, duerme, mobila,
que tu mama tá en el campo,
mobila.

Te va a traer codornices para ti,
te va a traer rica fruta para ti,
te va a traer carne de cerdo para ti,
te va a traer muchas cosas para ti.

Y si el negro no se duerme
viene el diablo blanco
y ¡zas!
le come la patita
chicapumba, chicapumpa,
apumba chicapún.

Duerme, duerme, negrito,
que tu mama tá en el campo,
negrito.

Trabajando,
trabajando duramente,
trabajando sí,
trabajando y va de luto,
trabajando sí,
trabajando y no le pagan,
trabajando sí,
pal negrito chiquitito,
trabajando sí.

Duerme, duerme negrito

@BloodofPatriots obama is doing his job... he wasn't put in office to help. So don't say blame it on his skin color. blame our society for not seeing through these politicians.

WTF Where we thinking when we brought these animals over here?

@moatwog During the Fil-am war American had butchered almost a million Filipinos. But this data had been kept from western media and even from our history books to protect the benevolent image of US colonial rule

They are the people who came first in the Philippines......But most filipinos who live in the Philippines nowadays dont look like them but a fact that Filipinos are came from Malay group... some look Chinese, Japanese, Korean... other country in southeast asia like Thailand and Vietnam occupied by these people thousand of years ago......... I sugest you to watch

"The History of Our Race: What do REAL FILIPINOS look like?"-video.... for a further explanation of d real Filipinos facial features.
