I gainded custody of my little cousin. She is half black and half white. Im half Sioux and half white.
I grew up knowing about both of my hertages. and I still love learning new facts. But my little cousin started her life being raised by raceist people. Why they would choose to raise her when they were so narrow minded, I dont know. She knows nothing of her Aferican roots. I want to change this, but dont know where to start.

I’ve come to find that a lot of people i meet from puerto rico and other latin american countries (except Brazil of coarse) seem to take pride in their european heritage but never take notice of their african heritage. I was just wondering are they taught about the slave trade in those countries and the african influence around them (food, music,etc) or is it a taboo. is considering yourself africana instead of hispanic frowned upon in those countries or not as “cool”.
