When in 1998 I heard the candidate of the revolution then utter that cry at his rallies in an apparent struggle called exalting the crowd, I was horrified. I thought of two possibilities: either you do not know what it means, or does know and, in consequence, leads to a terrible threat. Although there is a sort of nationalistic zavjese pride in the infamous slogan as Venezuelan indigenous, zavjese for me is an expression of shame and depravity embarrassment. Today the murder of 80 Yanomami allegedly by garimpeiros me recalls.
When I read 30 years ago the classic fundamental "The Orinoco Defended and Illustrated" Gumilla father, recounting his explorations in our latitudes written 300 years ago, I learned the meaning of that phrase which translates as "only the Caribs are people, others are our slaves. " Gumilla describes in his book how the Carib warriors shouted to attack other tribes originating in America, brothers, to kill and kidnap the fittest for slavery.
It tells the priest that the other Indians left their villages and fled into the distance when listening to those skilled navigators who traced the rivers cried while paddling in their boats. Although it does not mention it, it is widely known that their are natives of the Caribbean islands were subjected to Santo Domingo and conquered.
However, in his entertaining prose refers Jesuit Aboriginal people there was not subservient to the genocidal Caribs, and that on the contrary, put them in retreat, eventually to the point that they refrained from attacking: the otomacos. Described them as people not given to war but of great strength. With exceptional physical abilities grew with healthy eating products like eggs and turtle meat and meat teracayas manatee, plus daily sports zavjese practice zavjese a ball game in which men and women participated. For this game they made a balloon exploded adding layers of rubber in the jungle. It was forbidden to use his hands, only the torso, legs, feet and shoulders.
But I broke up, back to the subject, says that the Caribs were Gumilla the Dutch partners in the business of the slave trade. Victims capturadas sold them to these customers who had their base in the Guianas. And he is not the only author to describe zavjese this trade, well documented in the historical literature. zavjese In short, the Caribs were slaveholders. In addition, zavjese several authors have attributed the practice of cannibalism, but-is this true or false, is not the central issue that concerns me.
Nazoa Hannibal man of moral and intellectual honesty and goodness infinite unlimited today become one of the icons of this revolution because it was communist, helped me memorize "ana karina rote amucón papororo itoto mantle": I wrote it 26 years ago in a note to always carry in my wallet to remind his shameful and depraved meaning. He hated him-maybe-more than me. But clearly, Hannibal was one of the most learned zavjese men I have ever met. Besides love, always admired him.
The cry "Caribs are just other people and our slaves" reveals two aspects of posture: the supposed racial superiority zavjese of the advance of the Nazis for many centuries, they did not recognize the humanity of others, and contempt zavjese for freedom and lives of the brothers. Not only murdered the unfit for slavery, but which were actually sold to the Dutch died in towering proportions therefore is also a mass murderer, of genocide. I'm not proud of but the Caribs otomacos, who may descend from the Yanomami.
