Someone I don’t like created a video and they only mentioned the Taino people for about 10 seconds and in those ten seconds they mentioned how the Taino people were “thankful” when Christopher Columbus showed up because he saved them from the Caribs because HE reported the Taino were at “war” with them and the Caribs “ate” the Taino’s.

I’m a bit tired so consider this a sneak peak to a post I’ll create in the future.

There’s not enough data to support the claim the Kalinago’s ate the Taino’s. There’s so little information we know about the Kalinago because someone, not pointing at anyone in particular, killed so many of those people and destroyed so much of their history that what information we do know about them, came from a guy who’s less smarter than a fifth grader.

Here’s a quick history check for you. If you’re going to mentioned history, more specifically Taino history, at least get the names of the tribes right so you don’t look like an idiot before you even open your mouth.

Caribs, and Taino are broad terms.

There was several tribes in the Caribbean, such as the Kalinago and the Arawak being the biggest. However when Christopher came by, and killed nearley everyone, all of our culture and history became so sparse everyone joined together under the Taino umbrella.

If you google “What are the indigenous people of the Caribbean called?” You’re probably going to get Taino. It might also mentioned that the Taino came from places such as Jamaica, and Hispaniola, which doesn’t make sense, seeing how other people think the Kalinago, (Cairbs) were the inhabitants of Jamaica and Hispaniola as well, so which one is it?

Before you think about mentioning the Taino people perhaps you should figure out the name of the tribes you’re talking about before it becomes evident the shit that comes out of your mouth is flavoured with lies and deception.
