only in america bro, home of the ignorant ****s.

nobody takes black-americans serious .

Puerto Rico aka WELFARE ISLAND home of the eyebrow-plucking ass-hole lickers.

Ricans call each other n*ggas and copy us like parrots..LOL

Evidently ya'll take us seriously...even to the point of COPYING us

[BoriKua305]

We invented Hip Hop..the music you corny mofos love to copy..

Ya'll even call each other n*gga

LOL

You don't see Brothers plucking their eybrows and calling each other boriqua.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery..

your being and idiot now we got the blood yall have and more **** that makes us boricuas yall dont have the blood to call urselfs boricuas. On the real though ur being an idiot this is boxingscene not hiphop so go to a hiphop forum if u wanna talk bout that BAMMA!

Really? Because:

Jamaican born DJ Clive "Kool Herc" Campbell is credited as originating hip hop music, in the Bronx, New York, after moving to New York at the age of thirteen. Herc created the blueprint for hip hop music and culture by building upon the Jamaican tradition of toasting, or boasting impromptu poetry and sayings over music, which he witnessed as a youth in Jamaica.

Who is African American or BLACK?

Since 1977, the United States officially classified black people (revised to black or African American in 1997) as A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. Other Federal offices, such as the United States Census Bureau and the adheres to the OMB standards on race in its data collection and tabulations efforts.The U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation also categorizes black or African-American people as "A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa" through racial categories used in the UCR Program adopted from the Statistical Policy Handbook (1978) and published by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, U.S. Department of Commerce derived from the 1977 OMB classification.

Due in part to a centuries-old history within the United States, historical experiences pre- and post-slavery, and migrations throughout North America, the vast majority of contemporary African Americans possess varying degrees of admixture with European and Native American ancestry.

Some courts have called a person black if the person had any known African ancestry. It became known as the one-drop rule, meaning that a single drop of "black blood" makes a person "black". Some courts have called it the traceable amount rule, and anthropologists used to call it the hypodescent rule, meaning that racially mixed persons were assigned the status of the subordinate group. Prior to the one-drop rule, different states had different laws regarding color; in ******ia, for example, a person was legally black if he or she had at least one-sixteenth black ancestry. The one-drop rule originated in the Southern United States in the 19th century, perhaps in response to the increasingly polarized view of blacks and whites in the wake of the Civil War.The first year in which the U.S. Census did not count mulattoes was 1920, evidencing a shift in the American conception of what an African American is. For African Americans, the one-drop system of pigmentocracy was a significant factor in ethnic solidarity. African Americans generally shared a common lot in society and, therefore, common cause—regardless of their multiracial admixture or social and economic stratification.





Do you know how many genes separate the entire human race?
Six genes, out of the 30,000 to 40,000 genes that make us human, determine race. Race Has Little to Do with Genetic Makeup


any person in the world with lineage connected to the continent of Africa. Is considered black in this Country UNDER THE LAW.
Because if you have Black Characteristic's (BLOOD) you have a
lineage connected to the continent of Africa.

therefore you are considered BLACK

we invented the guitar.. and white people invented the drums that you used for rock and roll.. some white person invented the synthesizers and mixers you use to make hip hop yet you want to claim that **** as all of your creation, ok.. as if blacks where the only ones to freestyle, rhyme or make poetry or a song. of course, you guys will NEVER give another race credit for anything.. not even the techno style y'all base your beats on now.

music has no color.. if it wasn't for multiple cultures we wouldn't have the sounds we do.

[BoriKua305]

Good, I didnt feel like tryin to educate the ignorant about my culture and the misperceptions out there about it! I have no quarrels with that! But you should emphasize that clearly when you state it! Also, how does the PBF cotto argument get to race. Yall cats have no idea how to make your opinions known with out dragging race into. Thats really what it boils down to on this forum! Most guys favorites are ethnically the same as themselves! I dnt have a problem with it but damn, talk about closed mindedness! Now enough of the social lecture!

PBF whoops Cotto's ass in a beautifully skilled battle! Cotto has no stamina and he doesn't absorb punishment too well! He beat ssm, sure he did. He wont win the rematch cuz ssm knows he can walk through him now by keeping him on his back foot and forcing a pace that he cant keep up with! He is a sucker for the uppercut when he gets tired, I knw you guys noticed that! PBF wasn't dodging him when he moved to 140 did he? Nope, but Cotto's ppl didn't want it after watching that gatti butcher! And in case you guys didn't know, you are all fans of PBF! Why do u think you post so much about him! Try not posting about him for a week! If you cant, your a closet fan of the best fighter fighting now!

ur making assumptions

seriously... these mofo hypocrites

They're just jealous.

Most people dont know that Hispanics/Latino's do not represent a race.
They are mostly a trihybrid structure of races.

There are only 5 Primary Races in the World.

Asian,African, Melanesian, European, Native America

Scientists studying the DNA of 52 human groups from around the world have concluded that people belong to five principal groups corresponding to the major geographical regions of the world: Africa, Europe, Asia, Melanesia and the Americas.

Puerto Ricans Genetics

Puerto Ricans are, in descending order:

1. European/Caucasian,
2. Amerindian/Taino
3. African

A 2002 study of Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of 800 Puerto Ricans found that 61.1% had Amerindian maternal mtDNA, 26.4% African, and 12.5% Caucasian. Conversely, patrilineal input showed that 70% of all Puerto Rican males have inherited Y chromosome DNA from a male European ancestor, 20% from a male African ancestor, and fewer than 10% from a male Amerindian ancestor. This suggests that the largest components of the Puerto Rican genetic pool are European/Caucasian, Amerindian, and African, in descending order.

In a study done on Puerto Rican women born on the island but living in NY in 2004, the ancestry proportions corresponding to the three parental populations were found to be 53.3±2.8% European, 29.1±2.3% West African, and 17.6±2.4% Native American based on autosomal ancestry informative markers. The study also showed 98% of the people sampled had European ancestry markers, 87% had African ancestry markers, 84% had Native American ancestry markers, 5% showed only African and European markers, 4% showed only Native American and European markers, 2% showed only African markers, and 2% showed only European markers.

Many Puerto Ricans who identify themselves as descendents of the Tainos have recently formed groups who have been active in calling for recognition of their tribe. A 2002 study using the Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of 800 Puerto Ricans to examine pre-Columbian migrations to the Caribbean revealed that more than 61% of the Puerto Rican population has Taino mtDNA. The conclusion of the study is that the largest components of the genetic pool

Mexican Genetics

Hispanic are made up of a trihybrid structure with

1. Native American
2. European
3. African.

Native American contributions ranged from 35.58% to 57.87%; in the East region the values ranged from 0% to 21.27%. An African influence was similar in both regions, ranging from 0% to 17.11%, with a tendency of increasing in the East region. These data reflect the different origins of the Hispanic populations that led to the present ones. In the West, Hispanics are mostly of Mexican origin, and in the East, they are predominantly of Cuban and Puerto Rican origin.
The effect of gene flow on Hispanic populations from different geographic regions of the United States was analyzed using six autosomal DNA markers (LDLR, GYPA, HBGG,D7S8, GC, and HLA-DQA).



Cuban Genetics and Dominican Genetics

Cubans
1.European
2. African
3. Amerindian

Dominicans
1.Amerindian
2. African
3. European

genes from European ancestry, 16.8 percent from African forebears and up to 9.4 percent from Asian and indigenous genes. "We could've not have imagined that the geno-map of Cuba still has traces of our indigenous ancestors," said Dr. Beatriz Marcheco.
A curious finding from the research Dr. Marcheco pointed out is that there are people with light skin who have up to a 72 percent of their genes from African origins, and people with dark skin who have up to 85 percent of their genes from European origins.

"Mixed-race individuals have up to 64 percent of their genetic information from European origin and 31 percent from African origin

People in the Dominican Republic are considered to be genetically heterogeneous owing to the post-Colombian admixture of Native American, African, and European

lineages including Native Americans, Africans, and Europeans enabled us to assess relative genetic contributions of the three ancestral fractions to the two groups in the Dominican Republic. In the OD group, the majority (64.0%) of the mtDNA lineages were from African ancestry, whereas the Native American fraction was predominant (51.5%) , with both showing smallest amounts (14.0% and 9.1%, respectively) of European contribution.

That rule is outdated, false, and only used by racist.. therefor it holds NO merit.. you FAIL, Quntel.
