You have? I didn't know that. What parts you went to?

Santiago and nearby environs. I have yet to visit Havana.

[xesvideo]

Max Cavalera from Sepultura is a white Brazilian, and he practices Condomble, which I believe is African. I'm not too familiar with the culture of the white population where that band is from, though, but there seems to be some African influence on the band's music.

So you actually visited one of the most Afro cities in the country, and should be a place with many white Santeros.

Love how you list the most unhealthy one. I won't touch that with a 10 ft pole.

Yeah, I know. That's one thing about Southern food. Delicious, but there's a price to pay. Po boy sandwiches aren't too common where I live, but there is one restaurant that serves it. I don't know how authentic it is compared to the real thing in Louisiana.

That's right but from my perspective North American whites aren't African culturally enough to make the list but people are free to state their opinion.

no white puerto Ricans i mean

[pIp83Uns]

no white puerto Ricans i mean

Nay.

[geniusxs81]

Nay.

uhh, oui? they really can be

i'm starting to think it depends though.

[Niiinioa]

Whit Cubans and White Bahians

[BrifsGefel]

You should've also included white Puerto Ricans.

As you know I'm from MIA, and I've seen probably millions of white Cubans in my lifetime, so I think they're a little weird/hypocritical. How you worship African deities and practice African religion and music but still discriminate Blacks? Or maybe only a few white Cubans practice the religion because the white Cubans I meet here don't openly tell you they do that.

Most white Cuban-Americans are Catholic. I don't know about the country itself since I've never been there and my parents haven't been there since the early 60's.

How do white Cubans discriminate against blacks compared to other whites or other non-blacks for that matter?

Perhpas they are the same case as the Culimochos.

[AgowlSown]

Nah cause Culimochos are more Africanized than Jibaros and PR Criollos. Do Jibaros make Bomba? Culimochos dance Currulao and play marimbas. However I left Colombia out because the Africa religion is not up there with Cuba, Brasil and DR.

I was referring to White Cubans, or you weren't speaking about white Cubans?I was replying to your post about why white cubans were hypocritical.

Oh sorry thought your reply was in reference to Awall's comment about white PRs.

Yeah good comparison of Culimochos and white Cubans!

[Centurnion]

The thing I don't know is how Culimochos got that influence from the blacks.

[Elaltergephah]

The thing I don't know is how Culimochos got that influence from the blacks.

Because they been there since the colonial days living with Africans.

[Caursedus]

Because they been there since the colonial days living with Africans.

So despite they being isolated from blacks they relate with them somehow right?

[hoarrimilsora]

Yeah, it felt almost like an extension of this country. Although from what I could gather from some of them, there is a certain coldness between them and the people in the capital.

They weren't that isolated, they lived together in the same region.

So Habaneros and Santiagueros don't get along?

[bellson]

So that makes sense in they having a "cultural exchange" wghich is what happened in he Culimochos case.

[sessoorale]

That appears to be the case, but then, that's the norm in Latin America: the rivalry between the capital and the most important regional city. In this case, Santiagueros are super proud, since they say that it would be on their region that the independence struggle would begin.
