The Taíno, originally from the Orinoco Delta, were the indigenous people encountered by Christopher Columbus in 1492. They were the most numerous indigenous people of the Caribbean at the time of Columbus's arrival and inhabited what are now Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands

i know i sound crazy. but it is true. they dont want me here. and so they have taken steps to get rid of me or in other words make it less hospitable .  there have been nosebleeds. literal rocks thrown. people throwing fists at me. but you dont know about any of that.

i have been in the most physical danger in washington state

ive been on here trying to stop this from happening. getting kicked out. but i am pretty sure it will get worse . i dont go outside that much in the first place.  so this is pretty extreme the steps they have taken to get rid of me. 

i think the nba  is kind of perverted

they already got me kicked out socially. i didnt realize the nba may have been a part of it 

can anyone guess who the european settlers may have considered more american  out of the african americans, native americans, or mexicans?

the u.s. annexed part of mexico in 1848. they were given the option to become u.s. citizens.  but to be honest, this was 100 years later.  so the mexicans were not culturally american either.    can anyone guess who the european settlers may have considered more american  out of the african americans, native americans, or mexicans?

the article says that by 1776 african americans were considered hyphenated Americans in the true sense of the word.   this is probably something most people dont know.  if in 1722 there was only the treaty of albany, it looks like because they were separate from the u.s. , it may be that the african americans were already culturally more american. 

The enslavement of Africans in colonial America, emanating from the arrival in 1619 of twenty slaves in Jamestown, Virginia, encompassed all of the colonies. The scope and nature of slavery in the northern colonies, however, differed considerably from the institution in the southern colonies, the former generally being milder than the latter.

Since most slaves in New Jersey worked on small farms that had about three bondsmen, they generally experienced a milder form of bondage than their counterparts in the South, Also, as in other northern colonies, more slaves in New Jersey were used in nonagricultural pursuits than in the South. They were, for example, employed in Charles Read’s ironworks in Burlington County, in copper mining on the Schuyler family lands in Bergen County, and in the skilled trades. Still, New Jersey was one of the few northern colonies where slave conspiracies occurred. Perhaps the most significant was discovered in Somerville in 1734; as a result of that discovery thirty blacks were apprehended, one hanged, several had ears cut off, and others whipped.
