cvinla,

all you know about slavery in cape-verde is false. There was a very huge ration of slaves to non-slaves in cv, but that is just an apearance. The fact is that very few of the slaves that were is cv were our ancestors, because cv was just a place were the slave where gathered and then sent to the americas. And in fact the ration of slaves to non-slaves in the early cv population was balanced. that's why the cv population is mixed. And also it has been found that almost all the cv male ancestry was portuguese and that almost 100% of the female ancestry of cv was african. So slavery didnt play the role you have been thaught

Helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp!

What I'm about to say sounds like a conspiracy theory but it's not and I need to take it out of my chest. For the first time, after reading all the 309 posts by St_Antao since he joined this forum on Wednesday Oct 11, 2006, studying his behavior all along, and comparing and contrasting it with the most radical CVs I know, I started to have serious doubt about him: Is he really Cape Verdean? Or is he one of those bitter colonial minded Portuguese (maybe a son of ex-PIDE) who really resents the fact that Portugal was forced to give Cape Verdeans the independence, and to this day try to do everything they can to subvert any attempt of affirmation of Cape Verde and its people?

My forummates, please, help me figure this guy out. Am I too crazy with this idea or is St_Antao a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing among us? Which Cape Verdean, no matter how radical he or she is, can be so opposed to every and any progressive ideas and discussions to help the Cape Verdean people? Which Cape Verdean would spend every minute of his time online to publicly embarrass his own people with crazy and dark ideas like his? Which Cape Verdean would reject all the facts about Cape Verde and just go on with his Portuguese colonial preconceive views and ideas? In mind my, only a colonial mindset Portuguese that didn't get over the fact that Amilcar Cabral and the rest of Cape Verdeans kicked their butt out of the country and took our land back would go that far.

Has St_Antao started to drive me insane or are my doubts about him reasonable? Is anybody having this kind of thoughts too or am I going to far?

Please, give me some therapy on St_Antao because I'm starting to "see dead people" .

I am beginning to wonder. It doesn't make sense. I was scratching my head after his response to my last post. This is the downside to the anonymity of this forum or any forum in general. So I guess if he continues to bum everyone out we just don't respond to his post which has been mentioned by several of you recently. I don't understand how those of you who have been on this forum for awhile have survived his insanity for this long.

BUT could it be good that he antagonizes because it reveals the attitudes of the colonial mindset which fueled the independence of CV? Many of us American CV's (including myself) don't know all of the history and do not know people like ST Antao. So his views, although in the minority, reflect the way some still think and most important is relfects the reason why CV's fought for Self-Rule.

ST Antao can be compared to those who deny the holocaust. But that denial just makes the Jewish community stonger and more cohesive and it reminds them that they can never relax or forget that they have enemies.

so why everything I tell is happening?

why there is a so strong split between AA, and cv-americans?
why portugal and azores and madeira are pushing so strong to include somehow cv in the EU?
why is the paicv trying to get reintegrated into portugal?
why did cv immigrate to the usa at the same time than other south-european people wave starting in 1850?
why did the guinea bissau did a coup against cv political leaders in 1981?
why is it me who is writting a phd thesis and not cvinla or lu da silva?
maybe because I am the only brain that can go behind appearances and find the truth

why am I allways right?

ST Antao. I don't have time to write a thesis as I am too busy running a multimillion dollar business that I started from scratch. And how do we all know that your thesis won't STINK? A thesis is only good if it makes sense and since you don't make much sense I can't imagine that your thesis will be any good.

multimillin dollar? I understand better now.

So my answer is:

let the businessman do their business and let the intelectuals think...so go back to your dollars and I will go back to my library

St Anato, You as a PHD candidate should know that entrepreneurs are very smart people. Starting and running a business not only takes brains but it takes GUTS and GREAT PEOPLE SKILLS. There are many people with their PHD's who are completely useless.

WHat is the purpose of all your education if you do not have the skills to relate to people. I am sure this forum is a reflection of your personal life.

You should use this forum to connect with people and build contacts that could prove very useful to you in the future. It is ok to disagree but you really need to change your approach.

If you want people to take you seriously, you must sell yourself better.

Politicians and businessmen don't have oppinions they just follow the dollars...

I am not here looking for glory or political exposure. I am here to give back to the cabralistas and the racists what they wanted to do to us. The propaganda of the cabralistas and the willing of the racists to force us to deny that we are portuguese will bring me back here again and again.

I told you thousands of times that I wieght 100kg, and I am above 1m90...so nobody wants to beat me. then I don't mix with portuguese peole or cv people so there is very little chance that a portuguese tries anything against me. And as you can see in this forum my rethoric is to strong for the average portuguese or even anglo to ridicule me. Look at all the $millionaires who are here in this forum begging me to leave or to be banned.

Also don't forget that I allways destroyed all your argumentations and afro-american and afro-centrist ideas. This will continue.

No Sh_t!!!! If St Antao is fair, straight hair, fine features, and basically looks white than maybe we can understand his views. Then he is just a "Wanna Be". But if he is a little Chocolito--any shade--then he needs to go to Lisbon and shout "I am Portuguese." Than it would be funny to watch people throw their Sapatos at him and shout "Calaboca Preto"! (sorry for the spelling)

Here is a good story.
One day in high school I said to a girl who was half Portuguse and half CV "well you're Cape Verdean" and she said "No, I'm not. I am Portuguese". I was like huh? So of course she threw me off for a minute, being 17 and not understanding how someone could deny their CV heritage when they KNEW I knew their Mom who was very DARK. When I told my Mom, (who was friends with her Mom) what happened she told me that the Mom told her that she told her girls to say they were Portuguese and never say they were CV. Both girls, even though they had straight hair, were dark and it was obvious that they had a little "something, something" going on. So Anyway, I heard that later a Portguese American guy called her the N word in front of everyone at a party. Hahahaha! RUDE AWAKENING.

ST Antao will have his awakening one day. (unless of course he is white or near white). If this is the case he should just CROSS OVER now.

Dippity DO Dah Dippity Day, My oh My what a wonderful day. Plenty of sunshine here in LA, dippity do dah dippity day. (couldn't resist that)

basically I am a complex mix, between, portuguese (white, jews and arabs from portugal) and west africans. I look more like a brown skinned marrocan.

Why do you pay so much attention to what the portuguese say? are they ruling you?

DUDE, You are like a YOYO. You are confusing yourself at this point.

Do the portuguese or anyone else decide who you are? do you have any control on your identity?

Ahahahahaha ahahahahah ahahahaha. You gotta give hi five to those yanbabs to give CVs like St_Antao a knock-it-off theraphy like that.
I laugh at their public humiliation for their stupidity and racism , but deep inside I really feel sorry for them because after these moments they usually become more confused. Luckily for them, African people have big hearts. We always are open to taken them back and show them the light.

But for now let me have some fun with St_Antao's "preto do Ca**lho."
Ahahahahaha ahahahahah ahahahaha.

P.S. A confession: Although I voted for St_Antao to be banned from this forum too, I'm going to miss him. I often crack some jokes and laughs on his stupidity.

St_Antao, here is one for you: Picture a funeral procession and enjoy this melody: "Pa pa paraaaaah... pa pa paraaaaahhh."

hehehehehe. Are "they"? i thought YOU was portuguese?
A real tuga (sorry, mandrongo, hohohoho) would say Are WE rulling you, in that sentence. Dude, like someone said here. You are a joke!

Since you just proved us you not a "portuga", i got a question for ya!

ARE THEY RULLING YOU!? Hehehehehehehe


P.S. - Back then, they would call you "House ni***r". Those slaves who would cry when they masters house get burned. HOUSE NUCCCAAAAAA!

you never wonder why all the mixed race in the world, claim to be blacks? well, it is because their masters, the whites, don't want them to claim that they are white. (and there is no other reason for that). So every capeverdean who claims to be portuguese is defying the whites.
