Bro, Nobody started going to the capitol with sign that say “gringos go home” out of the blue, or for racial issue. No one harasses and persecutes the gringos on the island. This is not a attack to gringo, but to gringo investor. Did you know that the US government imposed a fiscal board control in 2016(even tho its unconstitutional) 6 of 7 member are north Americans gringos and they are approving unconstitutional laws(stepping on our democratic process)in favor of their business(like ACT22); when they were put there in the first place to monitor that the payment of the debt P.R. owe to the United States will be carried out. The worst part is that these laws don’t contribute to the payment of the debt, but it helps to keep sinking the island. It helps investor like Logan Paul and Salil Zaveri to come here to keep buying our land, making us unable to pay the debt and/or to be a free country. Theres clearly so much political history you just simply not acknowledge or you’re either making a fool of yourself cuz you’re triggered and blind. Leer es gratis.Leer es gratis
Hey, OP, This is the one book you need. You might also want to read War Against All Puerto Ricans so you have a better understanding of that colonial relationship between the US and PR.
Oh shit. Got a response from the real YamaGuccimane. That's pretty dope.
The topic I'm mostly interested in is the independence movement in the 1950's so when it comes to the economic situation I'm pretty ignorant and far too dumb to understand it.
From my basic understanding it's mostly been PR getting taken advantage of and fucked over time and time again. Tons of loopholes to cater to greedy corporations, lowering the minimum wage, being forced to prioritize paying back it's debt over basic necessities like hospitals. Then of course there's the Jones act too. The abusive relationship between PR & the US is long and complicated and I only understand about 15% of it. I recently started reading War Against All Puerto Ricans and I'd recommenced it to anyone interested in the topic.
I don't actually know Manuel-Miranda's stance and maybe it's super shitty. I do give him credit for trying to use his platform to try and get congress to pay attention. Now that he's made a name for himself I hope someday he'll make a musical about a Puerto Rican historical figure like Pedro Albizu Campos, he's basically the Puerto Rican Malcolm X. I'm rambling quiet a bit and apologize. I also wanna make it clear I'm a Nuyorican which my family on the island mocks me for endlessly so I'm not a great source on the topic. Anyway, thanks for reachin out.
This book will make a good read, then.
Reminds me of a good book. Rec this, totally.
I never knew of the 50s military invasion of the US against Puerto Rico, even less of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party. Here's Albizu Campos.
