Black History in Puerto Rico

Black history in Puerto Rico begins with the African freeman who arrived with the Spanish Conquistadors. The Spaniards enslaved the Tainos,who were the native inhabitants of the island,and many of them died as a result of the treatment that they had received.This presented a problem for the Spanish Crown,since they depended on slavery as a means of manpower for the mines and construction of forts. Their solution was to import slaves from Africa and,as a consequence,the vast majority of the Africans who immigrated to Puerto Rico did so as a result of the slave trade from many different areas of the African continent.
Notable Puerto Ricans of African Ancestry are as follows :

1.Arturo Alfonso Schomburg
2.Jose Celso Barbosa
3.Rafel Hernandez Marin
4.Juan Morel Campos
5. Sylvia del Villard
6.Roberto Clemente
7.Emilio"Millito"Navarro
8.Jesus Colon
9.Orlando Cepeda
10. Pedro Flores
11.Felix Trinidad
12.Juano Hernandez
13.Bernie Williams

There are thousands of more notable Puerto Ricans with African Ancestry,which are to numerous to name,and these Puerto Ricans are just as much African as any so-called African American.

Black&Hispanic Firefighters should have sued the city of New Haven, Connecticut for using an exam that wasn't validated.

In the case of Ricci vs. DeStefano,the city of New Haven knowingly,willingly,and purposely used a promotional test that wasn't validated,which resulted in disparate impact or adverse impact on Black and Hispanic applicants.
In the Ricci case the City of New Haven did not show that the promotional test used for firefighters was remotely job-related or whether the test had a business necessity. Therefore the question has to be asked as to why would the city of New Haven use a promotional exam that hadn't been validated ?
It appears as though the city of New Haven was inviting and encouraging a lawsuit by its' careless,reckless,and poor personnel practices and procedures.

The world needs to be patient on North Korea !

Little Kim Jong-il is on the verge of blowing up his own country and Hillary Clinton must encourage him to so at all cost. The United States and the Republic of China will be able to absorb any North Koreans that are left.

Some Experts say the North Korean Army are its most loyal citizens, but given the opportunity they will flee to South Korea.

China's number one cash cow is the United States of America !

China's number one cash cow is the United States of America,and they will not permit a paranoid sickly thug like Little Kim upset the status quo.

The North Koreans lived better under Japanese rule !

Indeed the North Koreans lived considerably better under the ruthless rule of the Japanese masters, and they were guaranteed one bowl of rice a day.
