White slave owners raped the women & the mixed race youts wer perceived to be superior to the black slaves.... & so on & so on.I swr when I was at da airport the women at customs stared at my passport in disbelief that I was British as if i shouldnt be allowed to be "rich" becuase im full black.Puerto Rico is a totally different country though , dont be putt off. Im just putting forward my experiences. When I went 2 Brazil it was bless.
