Comment on Should Puerto Rico become a state of the United States if Spanish remains the first language of the island? by Anonymous

listen people, being US citizen is a good thing. you don’t have to give up your culture or history. the US government chose puerto rico for a reason. also remember that no one in puerto rico is a real puerto rican. a real puerto rican is of taino descent or the fact that some are mixed with taino or are moisistes, which means that they are mixe with other races. however, because of the spanish rule, the spanish language dominated the culture of the people of puerto rico. the spanish almost dissimated the taino people which are the real puerto rican people–everybody else is a wannabe puerto rican–most of them are spaniards. my point is that there is nothing wrong with speaking english. no one is taking away your culture of language. it is up the puerto rican to keep teaching their offspring to speak spanish if they wish. however, if you want equal rights with the united states and running for public offices, for example, the united state sente, congress or president you must know or learn how to speak english–there is no way around this. you cannot vote for the presidential election or the congressional election unless puerto rico become a state. so stop bitching so much people and become a state.

If Puerto Rico becomes a state, the taxes will grow and every factory established there will go in search for a cheaper place. Meaning that the economy will go down.

one more note here, euro-spanish dna has been clocked about 18% am.indigenous affinity, italy can go as high. see ‘ the george lopes show dna results on youtube,also see larry davids’ dna results on another of george lopezs’ show youtube, while george himself who is mexican was 32% native american dna, larry david who is jewish was 37% autsol native american dna. ancient persian descendants also score high for am. indig. dna, and european dna results are also not completed as of yet. arabs,ect… show mostly euro/african affinity. bear in mind this is just the beginning of dna ancestral unraveling. american indians still lead at 61% am. indig. dna and this has been this way for thousands of years among fullbloods. so be careful of what people with divisive & monetary motives try to convince you of. some people in puerto rico should be proud of their african heritage component and not try to hide or cover it up and pretend to become something that they are not. humankind origins researcher

in regards to the dna of puerto rican people in the taino so called tribes. please bear in mind the dna ancestry results are further clouded & complicated by the fact that the european people blood of puerto rico, that being spaniard, french,italian,jewish & peoples from india all some of the main bloodlines in puerto rico would also show paleolithic connections results to native american dna. european spanish,italian,greek,french,portcguese,jewish,gypsy all show percentage % degrees dna totally related to present american indians. and so do hindus,indonesians,maoris,oceania peoples,hawaiians,ect….siberians..that being said see http://www.ancestrybydna.com and find the ‘various results for differing populations’ that they put out on their site. what is called the am. indigenous column percentage is what you are looking for. this can help you with starting your research into this field of dna research. puerto ricans for the most part are a mixture between white european & african bloodlines. if you are looking for strong native american dna affinity outside of usa, go to mexico,south america and even parts of canada,ect.. but the caribean area is not where your seach should be directed. being that the euro/africa lines are the more of what you truly will encounter. thank you, humankind origins researcher
