Race Segregation Gold vs Silver in PanamaAdded:
That rapidly changed into a matter of race where gold was synonym of white American and silver was synonym to black. And everything was segregated from there, so whatever you can take it basically we had a little gym call system over here. Everything was segregated in health services, you know, in housing facilities, education, comisariatos is where people used to buy, you know, like grocery and things like that. So everything was segregated and you can imagine the quality of the services if you were gold or if you were silver. So we were living that right here in Panama during >> in the gold the gold category would it be based on your skill set or It was based on your race basically on the color of your skin. It didn't matter that you were a black person and you were skilled, you were still going to be silver.
Because that's how they divided everything, so you couldn't go to a let's say a gold supermarket, let's say if you were black.
It would have to be the silver one, so that category of skill or of skill disappear and it was replaced for white and black.
