Jibaro, you said in another thread today that PR recognizes its mix though? Elaborate on this. So they recognize a BLACK PAST but not a BLACK PRESENT PRESENCE?

It varies, yes, we recognize we are mixed, but still some people see repulsive anything related to African culture, appearance, as I said, being dark skinned and having rough hair is not the preference of PRs but the opposite, I also have told about the subtle racism, the first article states it.To be more clear, we accept our black ancestry, but we don't prefer it over the Euro one, it is not the same to accept it and liking it.
