What does a black-and-white Puerto Rican flag signify? It's a resistance flag. Described in this Mother Jones article, How a Change of Color for the Puerto Rican Flag Became a Symbol of Resistance, July 4, 2019: Just past 2:00 a.m. on July 4, 2016, four women arrived in front of a rustic wooden door in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. ...
In white people's eyes, puerto ricans and other non-black POC are more worthy of sympathy than black people. This is why I won't ride for puerto ricans, chinese, indians, palestanians, etc. There are many that are nice but the majority are still racist and even the "nice" ones don't battle for black people the way we do for everyone.
So, over the past year, I've had 3 cringeworthy encounters with Puerto Ricans relating to race. The first incident occurred some time last year in the fall. I work in the hospital, and a patient (with a hx of narcotic abuse btw) talked about a rude Black receptionist at this doctor's office. Of...
Both Spanish and English are the official languages of Puerto Rico, but Spanish is without a doubt the dominant language, as the majority of the people in Puerto Rico are not proficient in English. Fewer than 20 percent of Puerto Ricans speak English fluently, according to the 2000 U.S. Census.
The chocolate Puerto Ricans like Bernice Burgos are rare and exotic. A lot of them have their ethnicity questioned by people asking "are you really PR?" I challenge somebody to find a Puerto Rican 23andme example that's predominantly of african descent.
AA are vastly different in our Ancestry makeup to the Puerto Ricans posted. That's just facts. I'm not discounting Afro Puerto Ricans but given what I've seen most Puerto Rican's are not black or mulatto in Ancestry. That's doesn't mean Afro Puerto Rican don't exist but they don't seem like the majority.
Parties in Puerto Rico tend to align around the status of the territory and questions of statehood and independence and Puerto Ricans vote for the party which best represent their views, which is why only Puerto Rico is dominated by local parties. Both the Democratic and the Republican parties don't have a clear and explicit stand on this issue.
Centuries ago, a policy known as gracias al sacar allowed black Puerto Ricans with mixed racial heritage to petition Spain to be reclassified as white for a fee. The practice of reclassifying people’s race continued after the United States seized Puerto Rico in 1898.
Honestly I think so. Maybe my experience is unique but I've never met a Puerto Rican (who grew up among Puerto Ricans) who was racist towards black people. hispanics aren't a monolith. Like you can't compare Cubans to Puerto Ricans just because they both speak Spanish. Cubans are sometimes more racist then white people.
No “black countries” rolls their r’s and speak extremely fast with Spanish phrases. I have never met a Haiti, Jamaican, Trinidadian etc that speaks like her. However, I met plenty of white Puerto Ricans that sound like her especially in the ghetto areas of San Juan. Just say you are a racist Puerto Rican woman that’s on a black majority ...
