Unshocking Revelations: European Settlers In South America Raped Local And African Women, Killed Men
Why is it that Maria Mercedes looks so dang exotic? Could it be that Latinos all look …not exactly the same? Could it be that her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was kind of trigger-happy? In that way. A new study suggests that male European settlers, upon laying their diseasey blankets on American beds, mated with native and African women, and slaughtered the men. Don’t believe us?:
It suggests male European settlers mated with native and African women, and slaughtered the men.
Told you.
The international team of researchers wrote: “The history of Latin America has entailed a complex process of population mixture between natives and recent immigrants across a vast geographic region.
“Few details are known about this process or about how it shaped the genetic make-up of Latin American populations.”
Although we often hang around in lab coats and glasses, we’re not exactly scientists over here at Guanabee. But we’ll venture to guess this highly mysterious process involved 1) penises and 2) guns.

I hope this means Latinos will vote for Barack now.

At least they had sex with the native population…Anglo-Americans were so racist that they killed everyone instead, and then they made movies about it.
Where are all the Algonquins? I don’t see them walking around Manhattan much……

This is not news

As a gay spaniard, I can neither confirm nor deny these reports. I have to admit though- I have a huge thing for mexican men. Must be genetic with us…

I thought this was common knowledge.

If this is news, it just goes to show you how wilfully ignorant gringos and limeys are. Now that’s not news!

I often like to suggest to light-skinned Haitians that we’re probably related. Also that for centuries of rape and abuse, they probably chased my ancestors off the island. Cute!!

Pathetic!
All of you who claim you don’t know this for one reason or another you are in denial!
For one thing, the history of European slavery in the African Diaspora is basically the same. Do you think the Spaniards where any better then other Europeans? Get real! Matter of fact, they were just as bad if not worst than a lot of the other Europeans, and that is why so much of the Latin community is in denial of there African Heritage. For instance, did you know the second highest population country were Africans where dropped off is a place most of you would never guess. We all know the first two places in the Americas were Brazil and the U.S. The second place was Mexico. So for all of you who are showing off your Mexican pride, you need to also show off you African pride as well. You’re not only Indios, with a splat of Euro (I’m not talking about the white folks that migrated, or escaped from Europe during certain times in history), you’re also African. Divide and conquer has done its job very well. And the Willie Lynch speech was not just listened to, it was acted on.
P.S. Spaniards are from the South of Europe are they not? That’s a hop, forget a skip and a jump from the Mother Continent. As well, weren’t there these people called the Moores that were African and Arab. They practically civilized Europe and ruled Southern Europe, in particular Spain for over 700 years. Now in all that time you know there was more then quite a bit of mating amongst both of these peoples. My grandmother taught me Spaniards, Italians, and Greeks are not white people. So no matter how you look at it, Spanish and Latinos are not Caucasian, these people are black, with repeated African Ancestry.

How can they possibly claim this is new news? It has been documented for 500 years. Not with genetic tests, but with many accounts of what happened, eyewitness accounts, studies, etc., etc., from various points of view.

white and blacks and latinos have raped and murdered for centuries, what else is new?
African tribes fought and raped and forced slavery on other tribes. They’re still doing it.
Europeans murdered and raped each other (braveheart anyone?).
Egyptians (Arabic) enslaved each other.
Spaniards came from Southern Europe and killed and raped the Mayans and Incas.
Read your history books and do research. Humans have murdered and raped forever, you don’t need to make this a black/white issue.
