VIDEO
Well, I found the video...as disgusted as I am, I have to admit that this is the perception held by some Puerto Ricans directly from the island and also some in the united snakkkes. Interestingly enough, after speaking with my eldest aunt (a Boriqua, born in Arroyo ) some years ago, she said that attitude changed with the more influence the u.s had on the island. Black people were seen as negative and many people with African blood in them were shunned or so ashamed of it they did their best to hide it.
The writer said
"...Nuyoricans come
under fire for their apparent obsession with race and
racism and, most particularly, their identification
with African-Americans and blackness..." Funny, it seems the blancos are the ones shunning the 'sortaricans'.
Bleh, the stupidity of it all.
Good post, Queen Natty
