The Puerto Ricans are Coming. AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
by Liza Sabater

UPDATE:
11June2005: Comments have been closed for this entry. You cannot post any more comments here.



To have a successful mid-life crisis one has to develop a certain kind of humility and compassion towards onself ... ans screw everybody else. Thusly, I have a confession to make. Ahem ...

I HATE THE PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE.

I proudly admit that in the 18 years I have been in NYC, I only went once --and against my will. Why? The short version: because it's tacky.

The long version: I hate displays of pseudo-nationalist fervor that are convoluted excuses for hundreds of thousands of people to get drunk, loud and obnoxious ALL TOGETHER. Because you know they do this rather often. It's doing it in a crowd that makes it more fun to them because THEY KNOW IT PISSES OFF EVERYBODY ELSE. It's their once a year way of saying, "FUCK YOU" to what they think is "the man". In the process they perpetuate every stinking stereotype about latinos ever invented.

Parades have nothing and I mean NOTHING to do with carnival. They are supposed to be modern day version of displays of "power" the Germans made chic. What they are in real life are pseudo-cultural jerkoffs that are signs of ethnic impotence. People want to believe that by going to the parade, carrying a flag and eating cuchifritos is somehow empowering. Well, it's not.

So today I say BAH! ¡ PA'L CARAJO ! to the Puerto Rican Day Parade. You still can kiss me because I'm still Puerto Rican. No, you don't have to kiss my ass (unless I really, really like you).

Wanna find me tomorrow? In protest, I will be the only Puerto Rican NOT wearing anything remotely looking like spandex. I'll be the one without a Puerto Rican flag. I will most certainly be only one not eating a cuchifrito.

Oh, and by the way, Seinfeld's The Puerto Rican Day was so good because it was a merciless bashing of all involved in these kinds of events (they could have used the Irish parade but the Rican are way more obnoxious). Nobody looks good in that episode and that's really why some people got pissed off. Nobody likes to be called on how bad they look, especially if it's on TV.

Check out the script. It's hilarious : The Puerto Rican Day - Seinfeld Scripts

Viva Puerto Rico nobody can put it down like ricans first off and where place among the forfront in Latinos, being envied is what i most enjoyed and what i hate is the ingnorance of what most people percieve about ricans. We are proud and we have dignity we love who we are and any one that doesnt like it can kiss our taino asses. We need to stick together and stop that interacial mielda. The Parade is going to be off the hook next year. Esta La Vista...

Last I checked there wasn't a 51st star on the U.S. flag. What the hell are you people doing here without needing a green card? I'll have to write my congressman about this one.

Comment by: Maverick at December 21, 2004 09:49 PM

I think it should be obvious at this point that Ryan does not know a thing or two about history, and unless he is a Native American he should keep his mouth shut because he does not belong here either if that's the case. You need to look back at history and stop hating Puerto Ricans. I don't know where Liza Sabater gets his or her facts from, but I will eliminate your ignorance. The National Puerto Rican Day Parade is a New York tradition started in 1959, that unites New Yorkers as it celebrates the outstanding contributions of the Puerto Rican people to the history of New York City. So if your not proud of who you are, then don't say your Puerto Rican because we are proud people. Not everyone gets a parade, and they did not just give it to us. We have been pissed on by many, including this country that many of us defend. So don't knock us, its not cool.

Peace

Peace

Comment by: marcito el flakito at January 5, 2005 12:24 AM

I believe that whoever wrote this article is understandibly frustrated. I myself can see where she is coming from. I have lived in Puerto Rico and was born and raised there and have noticed a great difference in the Boricuas de la isla and the Boricuas raised here. The main difference is that Puerto Ricans from the island or ones fresh off the boat do not need to brag about their identity because they are secure and proud of what they are. They range from white to black to brown and some even have chinese heritage, but despite those big differences they have no racism down there because we are all Boricua. Ricans up here drop their jaws as soon as they find out that my uncle is Puerto Rican since he looks like a straight up African or that my cousin is Rican because he looks like a straight up Russian! They think we are all brown! Ricans up here in the states tend to loose their culture, and many times it's not their fault, due to many family generations already living in America. It makes me really mad when all Boricuas here talk about is 50 cent, Jay-Z, etc and they don't even know what is bomba, plena, rumba, holandes, oriza, guaguanco, aguinaldo, trovador, cuatro, not even salsa at times! and many other Puerto Rican national symbols. I know some White-Americans that know more than Ricans themselves about our culture. Boricuas over here don't even bother to speak at least a little spanish while Americans from the states yearn to learn the language so they can study in the University of Puerto Rico because of it's outstanding educational programs, and trust me I know alot. I understand that having any kind of national day parade is nice and something to be proud of and to unite, but when it becomes about getting drunk, making a fool of yourself and making our nation look bad then it is degrading. If you want people to respect you as a Puerto Rican you must not only respect them, but also respect yourself.

God Bless.

Comments like these is why we are perceived as we are. If our own people bash the way we act and live, what's going to stop everyone else from doing it.... I realize that when we get together at functions of this nature, we do get a bit rambunctious and I don't agree with some of the things that go on at the parade, but on the whole, the parade is a celebration of who we are and to say that it's tacky, well, I guess you have absolutely no pride in your heritage....P.S. Ryan...pick up a book...a mind is a terrible thing to waste...who knows, you might learn something...was there someone on Ellis Island when your ancestors got here asking THEM for a green card?? Think about it....

Puerto Ricans are the best and if you hate the puerto rican parade you must stay at home and respect us and leave us alone with your bad lyrics.
Puerto Rico is the most beautiful island of the world (isla del encanto).
Everybody in the US are immigrants, everybody is foreigner, puerto ricans and you too, it's a welcome country and not yours so EVERYBODY can do what he wants, so think about you told. America has a lot of differents cultures and we respect yours.
Holla

I don't care who gets pissed off at me but I can't stand Puerto Ricans. They are rude and obnoxious. Everywhere I go they think they are better than everyone else and they really really piss me off. I hear some saying "Oh I love Puerto Rico!!!" Well if you love it so much then take your ass back. I am white, and was born and raised here in America. I love America and wish all these arrogant Puerto Ricans would leave this place!!! It would be much better!!

Comment by: Jimy G at February 24, 2005 01:46 AM

Most of this morons writing their comments should learn how to type and think before they write. You don't have to "HOLLA" or shorten your nationality name "RICANS", or talk like low life gutter rats to voice your single-minded opinions of how proud you are to be "BORICUAS". Do you want to make your "ISLA" proud? Get a job and an education, raise your children right and shut the fuck up!

Think about it.... "It was a very different time in American history. There should be way more restrictions on the people getting into this country now. The argument we are all immigrants is very ignorant now days. The people that say that are the people who come to this country making it harder for everyone else who is here now. Stay in Puerto Rico & try to make Puerto Rico better In stead of coming here & making this country worse. agree or disagree just think about it.

well, puerto ricans are niggers , and one more thing there english is horrible as well as their spanish, now i'am an american, my parents came from norway and i love spanish but, real spanish &proper i'am also a lawyer so, frankly there are only two ways of good spanish mexican and from spain, all of the others have too much accents and sound like a frickin dialect from africa , latinamericans also speak horrible spanish, and most puerto ricans are african and if they have light skin still have afro in their blood, or indian , besides when they talk in their weird spanish no one wants to hear it ecxept the niggers from the hoods their so, fuckin ridiculs saying papi on the streets of new york or pai what the fuck is that frankly!also most of them come to my country to robb and kill and 100%of them are homeless and bisexual, they sleep with a gay man for as little as what they call 2$ chavitos, 2%dollars and puerto rican females are very fat and full of stretch marks celulitis

Comment by: a real spanish at April 24, 2005 02:48 PM

this is what i fucking hate about puerto ricans

they look like fucking niggers, semi-niggers, not only in their behavior, but looks wise (lots of niggerish features).

yet they got the guts to tell people they are spanish!!!
FUCKING FILTHY SUB-HUMAN PUERTO RICANS, SPANISH PEOPLE ARE WHITE, SPAIN IS IN EUROPE, THEY ARE WESTERN EUROPEANS, CAUCASIANS, WHITES!!!!

so stop calling yourselves spanish ,because you filthy niggerish mongrels are not spanish!!!

you only speak spanish, because the white spaniard master went to that filthy island called puerto rico (an island that should be nuked), raped the ugly taino indians who lived there, anf fucked the shit outta nigger slaves from africa, and then left, leaving behind a mongrelized people who today we call puerto ricans

you are not spanish filthy niggers

Comment by: latino thing at April 24, 2005 02:59 PM

I am a real latin american, I personally dont care for puerto ricans, however i cant stand this whole we're latino crap, in latin america no one ever even care about them, you hardly hear about puerto rico, is only when u come to NYC when you have to deal with them, and most latin americans end up hating them, because of their arrogance, ignorance, lack of culture, lack of educaton, living off welfare, lazy, doing nothing all day but sitting in front of their run down buildings in the poorest areas of NYC.

they whole day yapping about : we real latinos, latinos to da bone etc.
acting ghetto, the puerto rican women having 4 or 5 children before they're 30.

they have been in america for decades, almost a century ago they first came, and they havent really achieved anything other than living in harlem and the bronx, and claiming this poor run down neighborhoods as theirs, and coming to the wrong idea that they are spanish, which they are not, puerto ricans are a spanish as a korean.

spanish people are white, i agree with the post above, puerto ricans needs to stop telling people they are spanish, in that case then haitians should tell people they are french because they speak french, and black-americans should tell people they are english because they speak english

puerto ricans descend from black people, get over it, YOU ARE NOT SPANISH

in latin america most people dont even consider puerto rico to be part of latin america, but rather like a US territory, Besides ricky martin who is often ridiculized, puerto ricans on average are looked down upon in latin america, we perceive them as uneducated, low class, lazy.

Comment by: ... at April 30, 2005 05:48 PM

Fuck Puerto Ricans, I have no problems with Mexicans or Dominicans because they are real latin americans but Puerto Ricans try so are to be black its not even funny. P.R. girls ain't nothen but sluts and P.R. boys fight like little bitches, trust me I'v seen and fought Puerto Ricans and they can't fight for shit there just good at running there little pussy ass mouths.

Comment by: Nicky Jam at May 6, 2005 12:02 AM

Puerto Ricans are shit.
I can't stand them. I have been living in this shit island for more than a decade. Please pray for me.
Some facts:
They are very rude
don't know how to drive
Very arrogant and stupid
average height for men is about 5'5''
There are a lot of gays
all women are ugly whores.
Everyone smokes pot and drinks Bacardi

EVERYONE listens to the same shit music(it's not even music). It's called reggaeton(All the songs have the exact same beat). Even old people listen to it. They go around in their shit cars with the volume all the way up. I have to hear this shit on a daily basis. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to that shit.
No good rock groups come here(malmsteen,dream theater, etc). I don't blame them.
They are scum and dishonest. I can go on and on.
Cacos de mierda. Malditos Boricuas no valen na.

Comment by: liza at May 6, 2005 12:19 AM

To Nicky Jamrest,

What you state is not a fact but an opinion and a very bigoted opinion at that. I just don't understand the absolute bigoted and racist reactions this post has generated.

I am very proud of my heritage but I am not dishonest at what my intention was : To point out that parades (or paradas) are more of an American abomination gladly embraced by Puerto Ricans here in NYC than actual expression of our Caribbean culture.

Carnaval and fiestas de pueblo, where everybody has an opportunity to dance and play music are far more attuned with our need to dance to the beat than a parade. Especially here in NYC, where authorities are into restricting the movement of people and consider swinging hips a profanity.

So no, to all of you have left your bigoted rants here, I say you are wrong about my culture and my conpatriotas. And let it be known that I have chosen not to suppress your comments as a testament of your idiotic ignorance and fear.

Comment by: filchyboy@gmail.com at May 6, 2005 01:47 AM

What an appalling set of comments.

When I read your comments Liz it occured to me that if you substituted the phrase "gay pride" for Puerto Rican the post would be just as descriptive.

I enjoy going to queer pride parades but the words you use to describe why you don't go to your local parade is an accurate and valid critique of pride events and I know many who stay awy from pride events for the same reasons.

Interesting post. Appalling commentary.

I can't fucking stand some of the ones I've met here in US. I don't hate them. I just hate people who hate themselves and their whole heritage. Most puerto ricans I've met hate black people and don't want to realize they're descendants of africa . Alot i've also met hate all latinos and only date whites cause they think they're too good for they're own kind. NO, not all are like that...just the ones i've met.

Comment by: Sandra at May 22, 2005 05:32 PM

Im Mexican, and i grew up around many Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. I hate the fact that most Puerto Rican think that they're the "superior race". Mexicans are nicer than them (admit it) i hate how they cant speak proper Spanish i always have to be like "what did you say?" because they break it down. Now im not racist it's just that i've gotten really bad impressions of Puerto Ricans damn when it's Mexican independence day you see all the Puerto Rican flags everywhere but when it's Puerto Rican independence day i never see ANY Mexican flags. Its called RESPECT. Shit it's true that many Latin countries look down on them, because they're loud, and obnoxious. Its very cool that you're proud but dont fuckin' rub it on peoples faces it makes you seem arrogent.

Comment by: Kwame Rivera at May 24, 2005 07:46 PM

ok...i'm here to set the record straight for all you fucking racist people out there...number 1...who cares if puerto ricans are blacks it doesnt matter where a person descents from originally just be proud of what you are and what you have...I'm african-Dominican...Half of my family comes directly from Ghana(africa) and the other half San Pedro De Macoris(Dominican Republic)....alot of hispanics like to tease me for example "ay que mayate" or oh look at that nigger speaking spanish...quite frankly i could care less really i am what i am theres nothing nobody can do about it.I can speak some-what of the spain-spanish but i grew up on the dominican dialect and puertoriqueno and a language spoken by the akan people of ghana very similar to both spanish and french...So look you can hate all you want honestly this is america opinions are respected and I'm a proud advocate for freedom of speech.But please you really don't need to discourage some one just because of their heritage how can they help it you're born into what god wants you to have, and thats that.And any dumbass who responds to this message MOST OF lATIN AMERICA IS MADE UP OF AFRICANS LEFT BACK BY SLAVE MASTERS..whether u knew or not and yes i'm aware of the indian population too.Good-Bless to all

Comment by: Truth at May 30, 2005 06:28 PM

The majority of puerto ricans speak bad english and the stereotypes mentioned in these posts are true. So leave it at that and dont be around them. And there definetely needs to be more strict border entry laws. That would solve alot of American problems.

Comment by: Leah at June 2, 2005 02:53 AM

It think a lot of European people have alot to learn about American. Native americans felt sorry for the pale man( White Europeans) because when they come here in boats they were starving, half dead or dead. The natives trusted the pale man, but the pale mans motive was distruction because that is all he knew. The pale man celebrates Christiphor coloumbus. WHY? Everywhere colubus went he raped, stole, commited treason etc. Everything the white man has created in American was violent ex: guns, gun powder, bombs, liquor, weapons. Everything the Black man created in america was positve ex: The elevator, Fire escape, First open heart surgery, heart transplant, traffic light, peanut butter, iron, iron board, refrigirated trucks to hall meats,and ice cream,first black opera singer, first to patten the fountain pen, first black jockey, airship invention, underground rail road, end segregation in AMERICA, Black Panther movemenmt who took the FBI, the list is endless. I can go on ,and on. There are no other people Europen, Asian , or Hispanic that can say they have made these contributions to their own country or AMerican like black Americans. The world is against Black american, but you know what Blacks have always over come the negative, undoubting, and the evil of white, European, Asian,and Hispanic America. You all can't harm us we are powerful people, YOu underestimate Blacks, but be ware, because the blacks I know are ready, willing, and able, to take you all. YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR US. JUST ASK THE US GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do all puerto ricans have giant tail pipes on their cars? I can understand the flag hanging from their mirror, but why have a loud muffler to say to the world "hey look at my 1984 Honda Civic, isn't it great with the dents and parts from other cars?" GET A LIFE!!

Every year American tax payers pay $17 billion dollars a year to Puerto Rico in Social Services alone (Government housing, Food Stamps, College Tuition, etc). I have a hard time sending my tax money to an island that constantly votes against becoming an American State. Now before all you Boricuas start calling me a racist and telling me how great your island is let me display some facts. 40-50% of Puerto Rico's inhabitants are on some type of welfare program (caserios or food stamps)in the United States they enjoy full Welfare benefits, 70% of their housing is payed for by our American tax money and there is a 25% unemployment rate (check www.calnews.com/archives/ctn031498cust.htm for stat verification.) Also, Puerto Ricans do not pay Federal Taxes. This means that the United States is getting back very little in to what we are putting into Puerto Rico.
What does the United States get back in return for all of our tax money and services? Well, we did have a Marine base in Puerto Rico (Vieques) but was lost due to numerous angry Puerto Rican protestors claiming that is was a symbol of American imperialism. Many of the Puerto Ricans burned American flags during their protests. We do have a few Puerto Ricans who serve in our arm forces (if you ask a Rican he will tell you that 90% of our Arm Forces consist of Puerto Ricans).
I personally feel that the United States should pull out of Puerto Rico politically, financially and millitarily. The only American presence they want in Puerto Rico is our tax money. Let them become independent and work for their own well being. We (the United States) are not doing them any favors by giving them free hand outs.
I lived in Puerto Rico as an exchange student from 2000-2001. I found the people to be lazy, rude, ignorant and Anti-American. Thats fine if they want to behave this way but don't have your greedy little hands out for my tax money.

Oh by the way, my ethnic background is Native American (Navajo and Apache) and British (from the Mayflower). So before you start calling me an illegal immigrant i just wanted to let you know that I am a true American.


God Bless America

Look,I'm not being racist but,I'm getting sick of tired Black americans rock our flag for no reason and they always bite it on.Everytime they rock the PR flags,I come up to them and ask them"Are you Puerto Rican?/?si tu eres Boricua?",all they say "NO,I just like the flag" or "oh my friend(s)is Puerto Rican(s)" or "oh my lover is" or "oh my kid(s) is".I always asking myself is why they(Black Americans) are there(PR day parade),who ask them to come to our parade,what they doing here,they dont have a reasons to come here,if they're not,they not welcome unless they got some PR blood in them.We've been had problem since these mother fucking Dominicans came to our pararde,rocked their own flags,still talking alot of shit about us and raped our women for no reason.If I find any Dominican bitch talk shit about us,I will love to give her Dominican ass a good Puerto Rican beat down from hell and she will deserve that shit.BORICUAS ROCK IT AND DOMINICANS JOCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must say that Pueto Ricans are the only people that come to America,and immediatley go on Social Security, Welfare, Wic, and Section 8. I feel to myself that the U.S. gov't made a huge mistake when buying their country from them. I think that Spanish people as a whole kiss the white man's ass in america because they are dying to be here. Spanish, latino, whatever all think they are white, and that the white american man loves them. The whites tell them they work so much harder than blacks in american, and that they respect them more than they do blacks. Well let me school all of your dumb asses. Black Americans were the only race that fought their own gov't in their county, and won. People from all over the world have to run to america to seek asylum or refuge from their own government. Blacks have fought the white man in the Divided States of America, and WON!!!!!! All foriegners have rode off the coat tails of black americans when coming to this country. Mexican, Pueto Ricans, Irish, English, Asian, Africans from africa, West Indians, Russians, Germans, Jews, Arabs all are here because of one BLACK MAN NAMED MARTING LUTHER KING. He fought for blacks so did lots of others ,and its good to be black because it is documented that BLACKS WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T ASK TO COME TO AMERICA, BUT WE OVER THREW THE US GOVERNMENT TO MAKE WAY FOR OTHER FORIEGNERS THAT HAD NO CHANCE AT LIFE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY BECAUSE THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT WAS FUCKING THEM OVER. To wallece in Spain you are not white you are a spanyard like your country mate Christopher columbus. I don't know why italians celebrate columbus day because in italy they all know christophr columbus was a spic from spain not ITALIAN SO LOOK UP HISTORY, AND LEARN SOMETHING FUCKING MORONS..........lol

They should rename the PR Parade to "The Rikers Island Go-to-a-Parade Day Release Program" 'cause I've seen nothing but criminal behavior every time they bring that stupid shit into my neighborhood. Why not put that damn parade on Lex above 110th St? Why do they have to run that insanity up through the Upper East Side? Do like I do -- mark your calendars for the 2nd Sunday of June every year to plan a vacation and get the hell out of town for that weekend. The whole weekend. No fuss, no muss and best of all... no fat woman stuffed into spandex thinkin' they all look like J-Lo (it's more like Jell-O. Don't you get it? YOU LOOK STUPID!). This so-called "parade" (or should I say, "Hey-look-we-got-a-whole-day-to-get-drunk-harass-women-and-act-like-we're-cool-but-really-the-whole-city-is-laughing-at-us excuse for a Parade") is a goddammed nightmare and any sane person would run like hell to get away from it. The only reason they don't outlaw it is because it would piss off a large group of voters (at least those who can read). What a horror show.

Comment by: El Gringo at June 4, 2005 06:58 AM

I lived in Puerto Rico for 6 months as an American exchange student (even though PR is also an American territory) and I must say that Puerto Rico sucks. I was ready to leave that forsaken island after my 6th day there.
The PR people were so lazy and incompetent that I actually felt that I was being followed around by Candid Camera. I learned that the best way to keep a Puerto Rican away from you is by offering him/her a job. They hate to work. It seemed like every other day was some kind of a Nationalistic Puerto Rican Holiday to avoid an honest day's work. They even had national holidays when Puerto Rican boxer Tito Trinidad won his fights. I can't tell you how many times I starved because all the PR restaraunts were closed for the famous Tito Trinidad holiday.
The worst part about Puerto Ricans are their ghetto, classless , childlike behavior. The slightest little comment or incident is enough to set the whole island into a massive riot. The elderly in PR were not much brighter than their younger conterparts. Many 40 year old and 50 year old people behaved like small children. They would constantly whine and cry as if they were on a Jerry Springer show when things didnt go there way. Many of these Old people listen to Reggeaton (horrible music) which is actually music targeted for teenagers and ghetto stragglers.
Another great part I love about these people is their unique ability to totally destroy the Englsih language. Go to any Puerto Rican chat room and observe how full grown adults write English in ghetto slang or ebonics. "We beez Boricuas fo life so holla". Im assuming in Puerto Rico the public education system is using "Hooked on Ebonics" instead of "Hooked on Phonics" to teach English. If Ricans speant more time reading an English book than they do breakdancing to Reggeaton they might actually learn how to speak proper English.
I do have a suggestion though. If we make Puerto Rico independent from the United States and we stop giving them their welfare , we will see a new and improved attitude from the people. The PR people will change their arrogant, obnoxious and uneducated ways towards becoming a lot more respective towards Americans.
If you Puerto Ricans really want to improve yourselves (which im sure you probaly dont) you can start by educating your one dimensional minds, getting a job , respecting the United States and keeping your huge ghetto traps shut.

Note by Liza Sabater :

This is the last of the racist, hateful comments that I will allow on this post. It is beyond my comprehension how misunderstood this post has been; but I do take responsibility for allowing free-speech run amok on the comments section if only for them to remain as a record of the prejudice and hate that many people have towards Puerto Ricans.

As I have said again and will repeat here : I hate all pseudo-militaristic group jerkoffs. I am not Irish but quite frankly, the Irish parade is more obnoxious for its faux-righteousness and empty morality. I mean, c'mon, Dublin's Irish parade always has a gay contingency, why not NYC --which I think is gayer than Leopold Bloom's town? But I write about what I know and although I am "Irish by marriage", my people's parade is what ticked me off.

The only parade that I almost enjoy (and not quite mind you) is the Gay Parade. I stopped going to the Halloween parade once it got taken over by the police and suburbanites. Gone are the days of carnaval and bohemia in the Village.

But going back to the derelict that have strewn this post with their ill-composed mental droppings, all I have to say is ... do I feel sorry for you? Nah. I don't. Not one of you has signed with your actual name nor your actual email address. You have made use of this open forum to spill your cowardly slime.

You are cowards and for that, I hope you're hell is filled with Puerto Ricans like me.

This post was an exercise in a thoroughly Puerto Rican sport : the skewering of other Puerto Ricans. That you took it as an open invitation to vent your cowardly hatred, goes to show how ignorant you all are about my culture.

But hell hath no fury like a Puerto Rican scorned.

See you in hell.

This is an awsome website to allow free speech and thought. I thought we lived in the United States to share our opinions and beliefs. If you dont want to practice free speech you should move to Cuba.

#################

I don't have a problem with people leaving comments. As you can see, I have chosen not to close the comments section. But people have crossed the line. If they want to spew hate speech, they can go to Freeperville for that.

I'm upping the standards here. Either write something side-splitting funny or awe inspiring or don't write at all.

And anyhow, what are you so afraid about that you cannot sign your own name?

Dear Liza,

you seem like a pretty educated girl

[ edited ]

In fact Liza the majority of these comments are from your own people (fellow Latinos) who share my ideology. A few others in here are Caucasion such as myself.

My case and point is to stop calling people racists and try to listen to the criticism.

########################

First off, I'm too old to be "a girl".

Second, you still won't post your name.
Why are you afraid to post your name and real email address?


Third, why can't Latinos be racist and/or prejudiced? A lot of the so called latinos that have spewed their bile here are great examples of that "conundrum".

I found your post to be very interesting. My exposure to Puerto Ricans is somewhat limited. My girlfriend is half Puerto Rican and half Dominican. Her family is anything but lazy. They are very hard working and take great pride in being self-sufficient. She is one of the most hard working and disciplined people I have ever met. I am shocked and horrified at the sheer magnitude of the hate that has been spewed here. Be proud of who you are and don't let these racist cowards get to you. In case you were curious, I am a woman of Irish, Icelandic, and Native American descent. This is my real email address, feel free to contact me anytime.

Second please prove me wrong in saying that P.R and Lation's are not a race, but a nationality. If you can prove those two things then I will never post anything negative about "Your People" on this board again scouts honor. Thank You

First of all,I do argree with Mike because,he is speaking the truth.He did say about when the Caucasians brought the dieases to the other people and make them sick and die.Look,let's not getting twisted,ok,I'm not being racist towards to anyone(as far as they give me some respect goes)but,I do not like Dominican.Liza,I do understand that Mike do sound racist for calling the white people names like the c-word and all of that stuff,you know but,like I said,he is speaking the truth that we,the Latinos/Hispanics all of African ancestory but the problem is that half of us are denying our Blackness.Half of us know we have Black backgound but we think we're not and that's why that we hate people of African ancestry and always consider us as "white".Alot of people say that Puerto Ricans walking around think we're white people(with Black face and body).Dont you know that Hispanola(DR and Haiti) is the most Blackest countries in the Latin America,Cuba is one of it and Panama is one of it,too.I'm like Mike,have some Creole(Black,French and Spanish mixture) and some Native American(Cherokee,Blackfoot,PR Taina and Choctow)bloods running in veins but basically,even I got some white(alot of European combanations),Middle Eastern(Lebanese,Morroccan and Egyptian)and Asian(East Indian) in my blood and all of that is from my dad(RIP)but,he had some Puerto Rican in him and that's why I always consider myself Boricua or Black or American Indian or mixed-blooded person but mostly I consider myself "Mixed".But regardless,the whole world is Black,white people are Black but they deny it,American Indians are Black and they deny it,too,Latinos/Hispanics are Black but like I said,we also deny it,Asians are Black but look at their plugy nose and they also deny it,Middle Eastern people are Black and that's why alot of people keep calling them "Sand Niggers" because they have Oilve skin with hooked nose,nappy cruly hair,fish-looking eyes and big lips but,they also deny it.Dont you that Greek people have mixture with Black and Middle Eastern in them and so are the Italians and the Jews.What do you think that the Greeks,Jews and Italians have Angelina Jolie's-type lips,fish-looking eyes,oilve skin(that's the most Blackest they can be),cruly hair and thick thights,they got Black in them but,they deny it and the Greeks,Jews and Italians are the "WHITE NIGGERS" or "High Yellow Negroes" or "Albinos" or "Mulattoes",I'm sorry,"the Tragic Mulattoes(the people of European and African ancestries ashame of themseleves and/or feel sorry for what they are".I want to know why the whole world always denying their Blackness for,for waht,for kissing the White man's ass or if they said they are Black,they afaird they will get end up being rejected by the others.Do you understand I'm saying Liza?,ok,have a good night and have fun in the parade on sunday.
