my original response was to the discussion.... and it was<br />
"Good point Keisha. Ruben talk to the people!<br />
i came across this discussion looking for Dominica info.<br />
after following it i have to say... WOW!!!<br />
history books and theories of one man have been proven untrue before...and history according to an outsider is always skewed and flawed, its the people who make threir history not historians!<br />

<br />
if rubens point was true... then you could say all people who are not indigenous in the caribbean islands are not caribbean...because if you were white you were european, if you were black you must be african. simply this is not the case.<br />
as ive mentioned in another blog.... why must we group people? why the labels??<br />
when an individual decides to label themselves, this is acceptable as this is their identity they have chosen<br />
when an outsider decides to label people, this is unacceptable...as its considered stripping people of their identity and can be racist."<br />
<br />
YOU took offence and started attacking me.... and ive responded several times being very understanding of the language barrier and yet you still kept at it... so finally i had to get it across to you.... you understood my last response?? good..<br />
and as for my picture...what does this have to do with the discussion?? you gonna find me in canada???<br />
and.... i dont want to meet any more spanish people if theyre anything like you...<br />
(see...i can insult you like a 8year old too.)<br />
if you KNEW you hadnt offended anyone.... you woldnt need other people to validate it.<br />
i know im right...i dont need anyones opinion to validate that.<br />
goodbye...<br />
<b>and ruben... its hard to learn anything when someone tells you what they know, and instead of taking that information and digging for some validation or truth you shove quotes from history books down their throat to try to prove that they are wrong and you are right...</b> its hard to LEARN when you already think you have all the answers Bomatum, Thank Youtag:indigenouscaribbean.ning.com,2008-10-25:2030313:Comment:165342008-10-25T22:35:50.066ZCaracolihttps://indigenouscaribbean.ning.com/profile/tainoray

For the record, The point of this discussion topic was about a people in this case the Seminole and the evolvement of their dress throughout the years.<br />
<br />
I wanted to show that the Floridians of 1492 dressed similiarly to the 1492 Taino but today have a style of dress that reflects the times they live in.<br />
<br />
It has now taken a different turn as the replys come in causing the original point to be lost.<br />

are people in spain completely anti-social? do they lack common courtesy??<br />
couple days ago you apologize...and then on the DISCUSSION BOARD you publicly ask your friend what he thinks about it, if he thinks you offended someone...<br />

and if you apologized just to say it and shut me up, why didnt you post this message privately to your friend??? seriously!!! i've known spanish people and they werent as dense as…

you didnt try to offend me...but in your second response you did it again.<br />
Ruben.... im not argueing the Seminoles with you.<br />
<br />
listen to what im saying.... and dont bother responding to me unless you apologize to me and all the other people you offended in here.<br />
<br />
history books were written by white men.<br />
the history of many indigenous people was written by white men, who wrote the peoples history in a skewed european light.<br />
They interpreted their "savage" ways according to "civilized"…

history books may....work with me....just may be flawed... the information may be flawed...hey... its been proven before....<br />
just because its written down doesnt make it the truth.... look at the bible.. huh?<br />
i may not have a degree in languages, archeology, history or anthropology....but i have 2 1/2 years of cultural anthropology under my belt, and i have a lifelong love of my culture and other cultures.<br />
the history of poland written from 1950-1990's according to books is not the history my parents talk about, not the history i remember living through.... we lived it and dont agree with the books...<br />
as for the seminoles.....i know nothing of them... but i will comment on this... if the seminoles were there 500 years ago and became "extinct" as you say...but in the same breath you say they mixed with another tribe... then the seminoles still existed and had a 500 year history didnt they.... even if they mixed with another tribe...<br />
ruben...are you telling me that if 2 groups mix and mingle... one of the groups dies out and so do their culture??? you should know that is untrue!!!<br />
<br />
as ive said... stop being obnoxious with your quotes from history books... talk to the seminoles and learn the history for yourself and then quote all you want...<br />

and why do you go and insult me with "racist is the word that some people use to say when they have no way out to assert their teory or aren´t able to have a discussion about"..... so accroding to your viewpoint.... because i used the word "racist" in my comment it means im stupid??? i didnt use it to label you...i was speaking in general terms.<br />
please look up the word racist and fully understand it.<br />

You just don't get it don't you? Stop relying on books and listen to what people have to say. Why don't you go ask the Seminole?
