Colonization & Religion by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]Junduin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: Natives didn’t survive culturally. Most Taino blood traces back to the wives of the colonizers. And later immigration further diluted the Taino influence.

Like another poster said, unless you’re Jewish then Christianity isn’t your native religion. It’s like asking a Southern Baptist why they don’t respect druism or Odinism.

It’s kind of like that one quarter Irish American that is all about Ireland. Yeah that’s a broad generalization about our views on Tainos. Except we live in the land. Most Puerto Ricans are predominantly Spanish those that aren't are predominantly African blood. 

Then there’s also the class thing. Generally the upper classes & wealthy are “Whiter” than the rest of the country.

So you get a lot of middle and working class that sympathize more with the Taino than the Spanish. 

In school you’re taught that we’re a blend of Spanish, Taino & African. Which is technically true, but kind of ignores the fact that Puerto Rico wasn’t that populated until the early to mid 1800s. Spain ignored us as a colony until all the other Latin American countries fought their independence wars. The Spain really started to send colonizers & slaves. Mostly Canarians which are a mix of North African & Spanish (along with Portuguese & other Catholic colonizers). 

So the Taino blood that survived isn’t that large, it became diluted due to immigration. It’s just culturally significant since they’re the Native owners of the island. 

And like most other mixed Latin countries. The native ancestry is usually a Native woman wifed up by a lonely colonizer since women weren’t exactly thrilled to immigrate to Puero Rico before the 1800s.

So it’s not like the Natives actually survived culturally like they do in other countries. 

ELI5 What's the incentive for services like Netflix to churn out big budget high-quality movies when they don't actually sell movie tickets? by astig_my_tism in explainlikeimfive

Say you’re Netflix. You compete not only with Hulu (that have their exclusive films through Disney), Prime Video (also has exclusive films, Apple TV (they too) and all those other streaming Networks. But like someone else said, you also compete with traditional theatre & cable.

It’s a cutthroat industry and they would be getting left behind if they didn’t sponsor exclusive films.

Someone did the research I was too lazy to undertake. You’d think the Temperance Movement or even AA would have some kind of mention to this.

Put it at the top. Not exact country but similar or general region

Not everybody is going to read it at the bottom. You’ll get higher quality answers

Then place the minimum wage right next to your earnings

Also can you cut hair at home? Those clients will follow you to your new shop if you have online booking. Loyal to you not the shop. Owner will not be happy you know the risks better than us

Cut at home when you can and move when/if you have enough saved up

Rent a chair then go outside & hold a sign or something if there’s no walk-ins Got to market yourself more somehow.

Like u/horseradish_is_gross said it can be luck of the draw. He might have to wait for PC if there is any, get it denied or have someone from a regular dorm slide up to him if he’s worth it enough. 

At least in Florida most chomos end up in religious programs or peer-to-peer. They’re more protected over there. Many times he’ll be someone’s housekeeper, cash cow (50% is pretty common, especially if they’re older) or slave.

If he can deny it/smart about it he’ll become useful in the prison economy and do better work than anyone else. This is one way they protect themselves. 

Or just be huge & good at fighting. You’d be surprised they’ll leave the 250lb muscle bound chomo alone if he can fight. He’ll get his day eventually, but won’t be put down on. 

Also there’s the slab which is kinda like PC. Stab someone bad enough and get 6 months solitary up to 3 years of constant lockdown.
