I root for Puerto Ricans because I was raised in a Puerto Rican neighborhood and was treated with love. I had so many abuela's . I went to church with them ,school, ate in their homes,played in their homes. I learned to speak some spanish and Adobo and Sazon is the seasoning I use. I'm not Puerto Rican I am Bahamian-American. They treated me like their own even though I had black skin. This is why I hope the next president is Puerto Rican. I love the these people.
Remember in a Puerto Rican home every one is always welcomed with a smile and a hug. Somehow there was always enough food for all our friends. I. Am Puerto Rican and my Puerto Rican family has beautiful black Puerto Ricans. Blue eyes,green eyes and brown eyes. I am proud to be Puerto Rican " yo soy Boricua " con orgullo.i will be flying to This beautiful Carrebean Island "Puerto Rico" with my baby sister celebrating her 60 yrs young born day 8 glorious days.
Puerto Ricans come from west Africa! The Atlantic slave trade brought them to the Americas and the west indies. We are the Indians tribes like Black foot and Tiano. then Spain came and made us light skin but we come in all colors now.
I've never seen the story of Puerto Rico's history, like this video. I've cried for my ancestors and for our beautiful island. God bless Puerto Rico. I am so darn proud.
Si llorastes al ver esto, lloraras aún más al ver otros documentales d como maltrataron nuestras mujeres esterilizandolas, con engaños, para controlar la.poblacion... hay mucha historia, y no toda fue bonita... Documental la operacion😢 Bendiciones❤
This is a true story, thank goodness they stop using this part of the island. For Target Practice. How is a Beautiful place and hotal. Hard to find a room. ❤
Musicalmente soy puertorriqueño. He aprendido a conocer su historia, su geografía a través de las canciones de salsa que oigo desde que tenia 10 años. Viva Puerto Rico y su música. Que bonita bandera !!! Saludos desde Venezuela
@@evajezabel6886 estoy viendo este documental en estos momentos, tenemos ascendencia española, negra e indigena, pero somos Puertorriqueños, Boricuas, Borinqueños. No nos asimilaremos ni a España,(reunificacion) E.U., China ni Rusia pa que tu lo sepas. Necesitamos confiar en nosotros.
I learned more about Puerto Rico and United States history in this hour and a half video than in the twelve years of incomplete stories and lies taught to me in Puerto Rico schools.
You really didn’t, there is a lot of misinformation in this video.

@@madelinecardona34 saludos madeline...could you please state what you consider it as a mis information in this video. I love to read everyone's opinions. One thing that bothers me most is when people make these kind of opinion but never present or explain there side of there story. So please, could you tell me or explain where is the mis information ? This one of the best video I've seen in years and you won't see in school. And remember one more thing...United States is not from the americans, it's from the indians. Just like in PR, this land was from the indians Tainos.
Excelente reportaje, de esta hermosa nacion Puertoriquena, mi deseo es todo exito en todo sacrificio por el bienestar del pueblo Puertoriqueno. 🤗👏👃saludos desde Peru.
Esa lucha es mundial y tambien es igual en Peru. Todos somos colonias de los EEUU. Solo tiene que mirar mas aya de soberania nacional. El pais que tiene el super poder militar en nuestro hemisferio controla la economia y quien accpta en nuestros gobiernos.
Thank you my brother's from central and south America. Puerto Rico people are always proud of you and our brother's in the carabian. Gracia a Dios por todos ustedes.
Te Amo Puerto Rico!! . Gracias a nuestros guerreros y pueblo que lucho hasta al final por nuestro pais. Espero en un futuro bueno para Puerto Rico. Dios nos bendiga mucho. Saludos desde Arecibo (:
@@NYRIKAN vives en Puerto Rico? Sabes el problema qué hay en empleos? Sabes los años de corrupción ? Sabes el problema económico? Es muy fácil hablar en el otro lado
@@NYRIKAN la culpa lo tiene el gobierno para tu información. Educate en vez de estar generalizando. La gente como tú no se debería llamar puertorriqueño. Hablas tú que estás en otro país, tan mal te fue aquí que te tuviste que ir y tienes el descaro de hablar de las personas que luchan aquí! Ten más respeto
I had study some of the history of Puerto Rico but none touched my heart as this video. I was always proud of my Puerto Rican roots but now i cried for my people. Thank you for this lession of my roots.
Doy Gracias a los que hicieron este documentario porque es bonito aprender de la historia y hermosa cultura de mi Boriquien. Y es triste ver que aunque muchos lucharon por la independicia de Puerto Rico la cruel realidad es que Puerto Rico necesita el apoyo de Estados Unidos y por la deuda nacional y los desastres natruales que mi isla a afrontado, ahora mas que Nunca Puerto Rico deberia ser un Estado para sacar a Puerto Rico para adelante y poder dar un futuro mas seguro a nuestra isla y a nuestra cultura.
Puerto Rico nombre dado por los conquistadores, que marco una larga historia de dolor y sufrimiento a nuestros ancestros. Pero si me siento Orgulloso de desir "Que soy Boricua de pura sepa" , nacido en Borinquen la Isla del Encanto...
Thanks for the Video. Excellent Historical documentation brings back memories and the stories that my Grandfather and Great Grandfather told me. More of this is needed to educate our younger generation who have no clue about the struggles they endured back then and continue to do so. Never forget where you came from.
Great video! Thanks for sharing, our history got deleted, erased, books burnt, libraries demolished, it is videos like this that brings back the past and current struggles of our people! Please bring us more, there is a lot of precious moments in our history, good and bad, but we must know the truth above all! If you wear La Mancha de Platano, wear it with pride! Boriquen, La isla de el Encanto, La Perla de el Caribe! Frente arriba y pa lante!
First mistake. No mention made that, after the invasion of 1898, Puerto Ricans were only made US citizens when they were needed to fight in the battlefields of Europe during WWI. They were good enough to be used as canon fodder, but not for much else. Second mistake.regarding the Nationalists, and I quote, "Two of the most famous attempts to bring world attention to Puerto Rico's status, took place in the 1950s. . ." You forgot something that happened 75 years ago, on Palm Sunday, March 21, 1937, Several days before the scheduled Palm Sunday march, the Nationalists had received legal permits for a peaceful protest from José Tormos Diego, the mayor of Ponce. According to a 1926 Puerto Rico Supreme Court ruling, government permits were not necessary for the use of plazas, parks or streets for meetings or parades.[15] However, as a courtesy to the Ponce municipal government, the Nationalists requested the permit nevertheless. The march was to commemorate the abolition of slavery in Puerto Rico by the governing Spanish National Assembly in 1873 and to protest the U.S. Government's imprisonment of the Party's leader, Pedro Albizu Campos, on sedition charges. However, at the last minute, the appointed US Governor of Puerto Rico, Blanton Winship withdrew permission. The Insular Police then started firing on the marchers - killing 17 unarmed civilians, and wounding some 235 civilians, including women and children.T. Most of the killed where shot in their backs. (Blanton Winship,was never prosecuted.) The UN has never changed the status of Puerto Rico as that of a colony. And let's not forget all the other unprovoked invasions of other sovereign lands by the United States on the pretext of freeing them and bringing them freedom. And, most importantly, let us not forget the rape of the north american continent and the genocide of the indigenous populations--Manifest Destiny! One final thought regarding the statement of "one of the oldest democracies on earth . . ." I like to think of what Gore Vidal said about the founders. "Nowhere in the founding documents is the word Democracy used . ." I looked at the founding documents. Gee, he was right. The founders did want a republic--run by the elite group of landed gentry (most of whom were slave owners)--not a democracy. Democracy implies involving by all classes--the great unwashed. They did not want those who toiled the earth to have anything with running the country. Only those who owned the earth could have that privilege, and could vote. So much for the "oldest democracy on earth."
Irene Diaz Reyes Thank you, dear Irene, for helping others to know and understand the TRUTH (La VERDAD) about the U.S.'s treatment of its indigenous peoples. I'm a gringa who is DEEPLY ASHAMED of being part of a country that has been so cruel and made even more so by telling lies that it is a benevolent democracy, when, in fact, it has been a predatory MURDERER of innocent souls, from its native peoples to the people of Japan, Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq. It seems that its victims are usually non-whites for it is basically a racist country, as evidenced by so much of its history throughout its more than 200 yrs. For me, Pedro Albizu Campos, Juan Mari Bras , Lolita Lebron and all of the Puerto Rican freedom fighters such as the two young innocents who were murdered by the CIA (official murdereers of the USA) in 1978 on top of a mountain, and David Sanes, a true martyr for Puerto Rico, who died in one of the bombings of Vieques (using this precious small island for a bombing range makes me furious just to think about it; thank God it has finally come to an end due to the Puerto Rican peoples' steadfast bravery in protesting with Ruben Berrios and Lolita Lebron) and the Macheteros freedom fighters were great heroes who were willing to die for the Puerto Rican peoples' ending slavery for the United States, who uses them for cannon fodder and earlier for cheap labor in the sweatshops of New York City starting in the early 40s.
+Irene Diaz Reyes gracias Irene por recordarles a esto pajuatos la realidad que acontecio en 1926. No fueron los Americanos que asesinaron a los Nacionalistas fueron puros Puerto Riquenos que abrieron fuego, igualmente en la Universidad De Puerto Rico en Rio Piedras

My dad is Puerto Rican and mom is black I grew up with my mom because they lost contact. So it's nice to know more about my dad's history I wish I new a way to find him .All I know is his name Fredy Rosado and he's in his 50's. They met on air force bais.
La verdad que esto toca corazones,esta es la manera por la cual hemos sido tratado,tanto en el pasado,en el presente,y al parecer asi continuaremos siendo tratados por aquellos quienes por su propia voluntad se han aduenado de un pedasito de Tierra la cual estos saben que les e muy dificil (aunque no Imposible) defenderse sola. Soy nacido en el Pueblo de ese Gran Proser quien fue Eugenio Maria De Hostos. Mayaguezano de Naciemiento,Puertoriqueno por Derecho,y Obligacion.E vivido por muchos anyos en Nueva York,esto lo e tenido que hacer por que al estar en Puerto Rico se me hiso tan dificil conseguir trabajo por alla,y por eso decidi regresar a Nueva York,pues antes de la muerte de mi Senora Madre,esta nos trajo a mi,y a mis hermanos a principio de la decada de los 70 para esta Ciudad. E estudiado en ambas parte,tanto aqui en Nueva York,como alla en Puerto Rico,hablo ambos Idiomas. I speak english,as well as Spanish. Pero,No cambiaria por nada mi nacionalidad Puertoriquena,por esta Ciudadania de segunda clase Americana la cual nos han impuesto,o mejor dicho nos impusieron aquellos Politicos quienes llegaron a ese acuerdo con esta gente de los E.E.U.U. Hablo de esta manera por que se lo que es sufrir ese prejuicio de parte de estos Americanos,No e sido un Santo,pues no tapo el Cielo con la mano,pero se,y conosco desde lejos la discrimiminacion cuando la veo,y hasta la puedo oler. Mi Pueblo a sufrido un sinnumero de atropellos por parte de aquellos quienes por la fuerza se han aduenado de nuestro suelo. Cuando por primera vez,hise uso del voto,como no sabia,y al continuar en parte con la tradicion de mi familia,vote por el Partido Nuevo Progresista alla en Puerto Rico (El PNP) Mas,cuando vote por segunda vez,esta vez aca en Los Estados Unidos vote por el Partido Democrata, Al expresar de la Injusticia cometida hacia mi por las autoridades en un Juicio en el cual un Oficial de La Policia de la Ciudad de Nueva York dijo haberme detenido en Cuatro diferentes lugares a la hora de mi Arresto por alla Por el 2002,Marzo 08,del 20202 para ser mas especifico,decidi Jamas volver a votar por ninguno de estos Politicos de pocotillas quienes hoy dia se postulan ya que a ellos me diriji en busca de Justicia la cual nunca llego,Esto lo Jure por lo mas Alto,y por Aquel quien esta Sentado sobre su Trono. De yo Poder,le exortaria a mi Pueblo que no busquen unirse para nada a una Nacion la cual profesa estar esparciendo Jusrticia y Libertad,pero la cual a nosotros nos tienen presos,y atados encontra de nuestra Voluntad. Donde esta esa Justicia,y Libertad que estos profesan estar repartiendo por el Mundo? Si hoy dia son muchos mas los enemigos que estos tienen,que aquellos quienes buscan asociarse con ellos. No estoy encontra del Pueblo Norte Americano,estoy encontra de las Injusticias impartidas por los Injustos,quienes mediante sus Injusticias,buscan Justificar sus causas por mas perversas que estas sean. Despierta Jibarito,como decia Marvin Santiago: No te duermas en las pajas que te lo llevan to. Dios bendiga a todo Puertoriqueno,jibarito quien asi como yo tenemos un Amor Inconfundible e incondicionar por nuestra Isla,Nuestra Patria,Por Puerto Rico. Dios les Bendiga Hermanos;Viva por siempre Puerto Rico.
Muchas gracias for the love brother. Quick correction.... Puerto Ricans are not guajiros. El guajiro es el nombre para el campesino cubano. Maybe you meant jibaros. ¡Muchas bendiciones hermano!
Hermanos Emmanuelli Náter Thanx...your right, meant Jibaro. i actually love both jibaro and guajiro music. maybe cuase I've been to havana cuba quite few times for the last couple of years. Respect.
I can tell that this video is first class because Ricardo Alegria is included. I m a Puerto Rican Studies major (CCNY Class of 1976) and I ve read alot about this great patriot. Eddie in NYC 2/22
Te amo mi isla bella mi tierra hermosa gracias por sobrevivir y mantenerse humilde y con su hermosa gente trabajadora a pesar de los ineptos y corruptos que la gobernaron con sus ideales en beneficio personal, estamos aquí vivos y no nos rendimos ante nada 💪🌀
I love the documentaries about P.R. and it's history and struggle to maintain an identity while being a commonwealth of the U.S. My parents were born there(Mom: Cidra and Dad:Camuy) they met in NYC in the immigration wave of the 1950's...
Siempre he admirado como se ama la patria desde la diáspora; no porque estando en la Isla no se ame, sino porque simplemente es un amor distinto e intensificado por el recuerdo, la nostalgia, la añoranza y que se acrecienta en el abigarrado terreno de la diáspora donde es necesario mostrar al otro de dónde se es, no por contienda mas por hallar identidad ante el otro.
Ya era tiempo que alguien le diera la importancia que tiene nuestra historia, cultura a nuestro País. Es nuestra responsabilidad ensenarles a nuestros hijos, y nietos lo bello que es nuestra historia, música y cultura en Puerto Rico. Como puertorriqueña soy muy orgullosa de ser de una Isla tan bella como lo es Puerto Rico. Lo que nunca he entendido es que no es fácil encontrar libros para poder aprender y darles a nuestra juventud para que conozcan a nuestra Isla.
ESOS LIBROS NO TIENEN LA REAL HISTORIA. EN LAS ESCUELAS NUNCA LO TENDRAN... PERO HAY INTERNET SOLO HAY Q BUSCAR, EL BORICUAZO HABLA MUCHO D HISTORIAS. Y EXPLICA. HAY MUCHOS DOCUMENTALES D LOS CUALES SON TRISTE VERLOS COMO SUFRIERON Y LOS ENGAÑABAN, Documental la operacion. Bendiciones❤
wow Puerto Rico's history have been suppressed by the US in an incredible way that many Puerto Ricans don't know our history including my self at 43 I new nothing of our history except that our ancestors were Indios Tainos & that Christopher Columbus discover Puerto Rico, after watching video after video of Puerto Rico's history my tears come as I try to hide my tears from showing so that my son who's sitting a few feet from me don't ask me why am I crying sorry had to stop a few times from typing so that I can dry my tears, as I was saying Puerto Rico have been to hell & back damages caused by the United States of America & yet after these incredible heroes fought for & died for our land we still want to become statehood to this evil country forgetting those who fought for it I am a shame, a shame that my people have given hope.
Saludos Tony V. Me alegro que éste video haya servido de bendición a tu conciencia como puertorriqueño. Con todo respeto te ofrezco un consejo - y es que ahora continues compartiendo con tu descendencia y a tus amistades éste maravilloso regalo que es el verdadero conocimiento histórico de nuestra patria y nuestros ancestros para asi regalarles la conciencia que el mismo brinda. Es preciso que este conocimiento llegue a tus hijos (a la juventud) quienes son el verdadero futuro de Puerto Rico y estoy seguro que lugar a duda ellos serán los liberadores de nuestra gente de mas de este colonialismo absurdo que data de mas de 500 años - primero por mano de los españoles y luego 116 años a mano de la explotación estadounidense. Gracias por compartir tu experiencia al encontrarte con esta verdad.
Este otro video arroja muchísima luz en cuanto a los verdaderos números y ganancias de esta empresa colonia que ha creado los EUl: ua-cam.com/video/4Kdvw7Ab4uM/v-deo.html
Compartir voy hacer y muchas gracias a todos aquellos que crean estos videos para la educacion historica puertoriqueña, alomejor abra algunas mentes como a mi pero la verdad es muchos boricuas estan muy cerrados a nuestra historia y mas pendiente a la technologia moderna, gracias por el comentario y el link
vi el video link que me dejastes despues que deje el ultimo comentario, video muy interesante otro video que me habre los ojos y mi forma de pensar gracias por el link
Tony V Contra me alegra un montón que te haya llegado el mensaje. Es mucho lo nos han engañado y ocultado y los puertorriqueños están entretenidos mientras la PROPAGANDA ENGAÑOSA continua y el saqueo de la isla se intensifica. Nos tienen peleando unos contra otros en mientras otro controla nuestro destino. Los politicos puertorriqueños no pueden hacer nada mientras los gringos en Washington continúen siendo los que dan la ultima palabra en cuanto a nuestra isla y nuestros recursos. Esta misma PROPAGANDA ENGAÑOSA es la que han usado para enseñarnos que y que nosotros somos unos mantenidos. Pa' lante Tony... y despierta a otros hermanos boricuas. ¡Bendiciones!

I love this documentary. Presented with the care and insight to tell the beautiful and sometimes ugly truth regarding our history. We all know what is truly best for our beloved Boriquen. But, unfortunately it's too late. Our beautiful country has been suckling on the nipple of the fattest cow in the world for several generations. Never having an opportunity to really taste independence. There would have to be a radical change in the whole mindset of our people and a real leader to introduce change. I by no means wish to "blame" the U.S. I am proud to be an American, but more proud to be of Puerto Rican heritage. Justicia pa Puerto Rico!
Tengo 93 anos de edad, naci en el Barrio de Ensenada, pueblo de Guanica. Amo a mi islita. Aunque naci en ella, me crie en Brooklyn, NY. Tambien soy ciudadano Americano y servi a la nacion por 23 anos. Soy veterano de Korea y Viet Nam. Amo a la nacion Americana y para mi Puerto Rico seria mas importante en el mundo si fuese el estado numero 51. No quiero la indendencia para mi isla. No quiero que se convierta en otra Cuba. No quiero verla buscando ayuda de China y Rusia. Que Dios me bendiga mi islita.
The most informative video about Puerto Rico ever seen! Tremendo! It is sad that students don't get the real history at school. That is on purpose; of course.
Love to learn about my beautiful island. Really sad to see and hear all the things that my Puerto Rican people went through. GOD Bless their souls and GOD bless our island, Boriquen!
Most definitely the BEST doc I've ever seen about my Island!!! I search UA-cam all the time for docs about my Island and this is by far the best one. Thanks so much! I love PR!!! You should do a doc about the PR flag lol... I would love to know the history of our Flag :-)!!! Que Viva Puerto Rico!!!
Incredible and powerful. I was born in the Bronx, but lived in PR until my great-grandparents died in 1980. I remember their love for Puerto Rico, el Estado Libre Asociado, I remember the "caravanas" and political rallies. I also remember the grief even I felt as we said goodbye to Luis Muñoz Marín... (and I was only 8 years old) It was the collective grief of the entire island. This documentary is priceless and a must-watch for all, especially those who KNOW that Puerto Rico is in their veins, but yearn for a deeper understanding.
So what that's a dumb statement! Everyone knows the Europeans /Spanish conquered PR before America was founded. Why wouldn't the Spanish Europeans bring their culture of paving streets to the Island...lol
gracias por ese video tan gradioso k nadie tiene . me ha dado mas fuerza este video k ser de ponce Puerto rico siempre sera brillando delante los ojos de Dios. linda isla Puerto rico por la isla morrire. seguiremos creciendo,
Muy triste que es la historia de puerto Rico y toda su jente, ver este documental me iso llorar al mirar todo esas atrocidades por lo que pasaron toda nuestra familia me duele en el alma y aunque estoy fuera de mi islita la amo con todo mi corazon.
I live 8n america for 35 years and know i live in puerto rico...and i love my islad....this is buetilfull you cut feel the peace in puerto rico the hot son the people....las alcapurias los pastelillos relleno de papas gente humilde buena.... las olayas y los rios no cambio mi puerto rico por ninguna nacion americana... . Esto es vida. Dios bendiga puerto rico....estamos cin Dios
I love this I also went to PS 62..and lived in 590 prospect ave...between beck st and fox st..and saw and lived thru the burnings of the south bronx..amazing history...
Puerto Rico ha olvidado que su gente cuenta con sangre taina, sangre nativoamericana que lo liga a su pasado milenario y lo hace una patria única y distinta a las demás, ese es el Puerto Rico que debe aparecer, uno que mezcle lo moderno y la tradición y la historia
I absolutely love this video documentary. One of the best detailed explanation of our history from start to finish. I want to thank you for your work in helping many people become aware of our culture and history.
Great presentation! Thank you for your dedication & efforts! Only God has the last word on what we will be; the Island is a diamond in his hands. Many have come & gone and many more will come & go, me, you mine & yours!!!
I watched this great documentary years ago, and really, REALLY enjoyed it. The part that I am most grateful for, was that it introduced me to Pedro Albizu Campos ..... in my opinion, the most impressive Puerto Rican, in the history of Puerto Rico. It led to an obsession that made me hungry to find out more and more about him.
This inspired me tremendously. Growing up in the US as a Puerto Rican my sense of pride for my culture and my island has always been immense. Sadly on visits back to my beloved island have saddened me greatly. The drive of the people doesn't feel as great as it once was. And the people no longer care of the status their homeland holds. They've become so accustomed to living in their endless limbo that many no longer even care.
Very good and informative documentary. I feel awful to know how the USA has done some very wrong things to the citizens of Puerto Rico. You have a wonderful country and very good people and heritage. I believe things will change for the better. I have a new Puerto Rican friend, and I wanted to find out more about where she spent most of her life.
Beautiful my brother! Thank you for your support and kind words about our people and country. Wish you the very best in your new friendship... Thanks for sharing! :)
Ronald: you are very disingenuous in saying the USA has done some very wrong things to the U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico and ignore the overwhelming great things it has done for Puerto Rico and giving millions of Puerto Ricans a good education with schools and universities and good economic opportunities in the island and in the 50 states. Did you know that it was the U.S. that funded the first public University in Puerto Rico, the University of Puerto Rico and other federal funding to help the poor. Puerto Ricans have the highest wages than any Latin Republic. There is a reason why over 95% don't want to give up U.S. citizenship and reject independence. Put things under perspective and look at the big picture. Overall the relation between the U.S. and Puerto Rico has been good, the Federal government can't solve every problem of every Puerto Rican, that's impossible. This documentary was very bias towards the independence movement even though they ONLY represent less than 5% of the electorate. The lady was very bias towards that movement since she admitted her family was pro independence. I found some flaws from the Vieques incident and why the U.S. went after the nationalists. She forgot to mention most of them were Marxist revolutionaries. Saying you are for independence is one thing but ignoring what kind of system of government they want once they are in power is the key and they want to force that on the majority even though they are less than 1% of the electorate.
I'm 40 years old and its been getting worse day by day since I was born. Its not going to get better until people like Pedro alvizo campo become religion. also, were these max revolutionaries reading before you built the universities, or you trying to say that puerto Ricans were dumb before you got there. Because the guarani were a sea faring people who's reach went all around the world before Columbus landed. You can see for yourself the mention of the long fast boats that use to camsipate Spanish ships in open ocean like no other, and the pineapple in hawaii. Never the less, Pedro campo had degrees in Harvard, so was it his jeans that mad him mad or the sircumstances surrounding him. And to make my nationalist point, campo was basque not Spaniard. Them Spaniard are actually as bad as the anglos
Upon viewing this documentary prior to my trip to Puerto Rico for the first time, I'm grateful that I have been enlightened about PR's struggles and triumphs. The historical Narrative was accurately depicted from what I have read and heard through folk lord and familial testimonials. Special Thanks to the sponsors and everyone who was involved in putting together this most wonderful historical account of my ancestors.
I'm glad you liked it brother. If you speak spanish then you shouldn't miss this other video. ua-cam.com/video/4Kdvw7Ab4uM/v-deo.html On this video you'll learn all the repercussions that all of us puertorriqueños are suffering inside and outside of the island IN THE PRESENT TIME as a direct result of the historic facts you just learned on the MI PUERTO RICO documentary. Muchas gracias ;)

Without knowing your past, your future will be just shadows. Si no se conoce el pasado, el futuro solo será sombras. Thanks for the documentary that even for those that does not agree with the ideas, history can’t be erased and we will learn from it. Gracias por el documental pues aunque no estén de acuerdo con las ideas, la historia no se borra y siempre se aprende de ella.
Good video like wise I was raised in the Bronx also very close from where the video speaks about I was from Ward Ave in the late 70 but I live my life for Puerto Rico Isla del Encanto ., nothing like our Island NOTHING.

We have a proud History to be known and a strong will to preserve it forever. Let everyone know, even those who were not born on this Island that it's blood courses through our veins and it's spirit is forever within us all.
I absolutely loved this documentary! It was so informative and full of culture and history. Thank you for your efforts! ....................Maria Aponte
Excellent crash course on PR history...Sadly many Puertoricans do not have a clue about this. Nonetheless, those who value their culture will do their homework and learn for their own self-dignity and respect.
Yo naci en esa bella isla y cuando tenia 7 casi 8 mi mama nos trajo a los Estados Unidos. Esto me hizo recordar como fuimos maltratado en las escuelas. Las maestras querían que solo habláramos inglés y nos regañban por hablar español. Yo me recuerdo en 3 er grado que la maestra me gritó por escribir mi nombre Mabel en el papel porque segun ella yo estaba en los EEUU y tenia que decirlo en ingles y escribirlo Mable. Yo aun sigo viviendo en los EEUU porque me case y pues se me hecho dificil regresar a mi bella isla. Mi deseo es que ya que mis hijos terminaron la escuela de regresar a mi isla.
Sabes porque mi amigo? Tienen odio a los hispanos y quieren borrar nuestra cultura. En Filipinas, en Guam, en Islas Carolinas, en las marianas lo hicieron con mucha represión. Y luego vienen diciendo de los Españoles...los cuales nos mezclamos con todos los pueblos, y los yanquis ya me diréis con quien.... Abajo la Leyenda Negra! Todo es propaganda de USA y de los ingleses. Ladrones, rastreros, mentirosos, cobardes y sin honor. Viva España!, Viva Puerto Rico y Viva la Hispanidad!
TODO LO QUE HAS DICHO ES VERDAD MI HERMANO, EL YUGO SIGUE, EL RACISMO CONTINUA Y LA REPRESIÓN SIEMPRE ESTA VIGENTE. GRACIAS POR CONTESTAR MI HERMANO, UN ABRAZO DESDE LIMA PERU Y !!ARRIBA ESPAÑA Y TODA LA HISPANIDAD!!
La mayoria de los Puerto Riquenos que nacen en Nueva York, afueras de la isla no saben hablar ni entienden el espanol. Quizas es para ellos, para que sepan de su historia porque si uno mismo no lo busca mo se sabra porque en este pais las escuelas no hablan de nada de estao.
MUY BUENA RAZON MICHAEL, DEBE SER POR ESO, PORQUE ALLA EN EE.UU. LOS CHICOS NO HABLAN CASTELLANO NI LOS DEJAN HABLAR EL IDIOMA DE SUS RAICES. GRACIAS POR TU COMENTARIO, UN ABRAZO
Thank you. Born in Manhattan in1953 I have never been more indoctrinated like I have been now concerning what I believe are my true roots......My Puerto Rico. Gracias!!!
Saludos, soy puertorriqueña de nacimiento y cuando era una cria, nos mudamos a E.U. La verdad que duele ver como los puertorriqueños han tenido que sufrir. Los españoles no regalaron a Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, los americanos lo invadieron que es muy diferente. Y muchos de los puertorriqueños saben bien su historia. Mi opinión, yo prefiero Reunificación con España🇪🇸. Mi admiración para el Pedro Albizu Campos descansa en paz. No hay mal que dure cien años.
Yo nací en Caguas y cresi en el pueblo de gurabo y el que sabe nuestra historia los españoles llegaron a puerto Rico y abusaron de nuestros indios hasta el punto de matarlos y violando a nuestras indias y si digo estar orgulloso de raíces española pues no no lo siento así esplotaron el oro de puerto Rico pero orgulloso por qué nunca nuestros indios se dejaron esclavizar y eso sí es orgullo y vengo de la raíces de esos indios viva boriquen viva mi tierra la más hermosa del planeta
Yo no la prefiero, ni con España ni con nadie PR libre q se asocie con el mundo 🌎, sin tener q seguir mandatos d nadie. Q podamos tomar nuestras decisiones con quién nos plasca.
I root for Puerto Ricans because I was raised in a Puerto Rican neighborhood and was treated with love. I had so many abuela's . I went to church with them ,school, ate in their homes,played in their homes. I learned to speak some spanish and Adobo and Sazon is the seasoning I use. I'm not Puerto Rican I am Bahamian-American. They treated me like their own even though I had black skin. This is why I hope the next president is Puerto Rican. I love the these people.
Remember in a Puerto Rican home every one is always welcomed with a smile and a hug. Somehow there was always enough food for all our friends. I. Am Puerto Rican and my Puerto Rican family has beautiful black Puerto Ricans. Blue eyes,green eyes and brown eyes. I am proud to be Puerto Rican " yo soy Boricua " con orgullo.i will be flying to This beautiful Carrebean Island "Puerto Rico" with my baby sister celebrating her 60 yrs young born day 8 glorious days.
Puerto Ricans come from west Africa! The Atlantic slave trade brought them to the Americas and the west indies. We are the Indians tribes like Black foot and Tiano. then Spain came and made us light skin but we come in all colors now.

This one of the best video I've seen in years and you won't see in school. And remember one more thing...United States is not from the americans, it's from the indians.

Thank you for posting this video. It really means a lot to us Puerto Ricans. Gracias.
Thanks for the Video. Excellent Historical documentation brings back memories and the stories that my Grandfather and Great Grandfather told me. More of this is needed to educate our younger generation who have no clue about the struggles they endured back then and continue to do so. Never forget where you came from.
Great video! Thanks for sharing, our history got deleted, erased, books burnt, libraries demolished, it is videos like this that brings back the past and current struggles of our people! Please bring us more, there is a lot of precious moments in our history, good and bad, but we must know the truth above all! If you wear La Mancha de Platano, wear it with pride! Boriquen, La isla de el Encanto, La Perla de el Caribe! Frente arriba y pa lante!
I'm so proud to be Puerto Rican and thanks to those who fought for our island Puerto Rico the island that is so beautiful to my heart ...
First mistake. No mention made that, after the invasion of 1898, Puerto Ricans were only made US citizens when they were needed to fight in the battlefields of Europe during WWI. They were good enough to be used as canon fodder, but not for much else.
Second mistake.regarding the Nationalists, and I quote, "Two of the most famous attempts to bring world attention to Puerto Rico's status, took place in the 1950s. . ." You forgot something that happened 75 years ago, on Palm Sunday, March 21, 1937,
Several days before the scheduled Palm Sunday march, the Nationalists had received legal permits for a peaceful protest from José Tormos Diego, the mayor of Ponce. According to a 1926 Puerto Rico Supreme Court ruling, government permits were not necessary for the use of plazas, parks or streets for meetings or parades.[15] However, as a courtesy to the Ponce municipal government, the Nationalists requested the permit nevertheless. The march was to commemorate the abolition of slavery in Puerto Rico by the governing Spanish National Assembly in 1873 and to protest the U.S. Government's imprisonment of the Party's leader, Pedro Albizu Campos, on sedition charges. However, at the last minute, the appointed US Governor of Puerto Rico, Blanton Winship withdrew permission. The Insular Police then started firing on the marchers - killing 17 unarmed civilians, and wounding some 235 civilians, including women and children.T. Most of the killed where shot in their backs. (Blanton Winship,was never prosecuted.) The UN has never changed the status of Puerto Rico as that of a colony.
And let's not forget all the other unprovoked invasions of other sovereign lands by the United States on the pretext of freeing them and bringing them freedom. And, most importantly, let us not forget the rape of the north american continent and the genocide of the indigenous populations--Manifest Destiny! One final thought regarding the statement of "one of the oldest democracies on earth . . ." I like to think of what Gore Vidal said about the founders. "Nowhere in the founding documents is the word Democracy used . ." I looked at the founding documents. Gee, he was right. The founders did want a republic--run by the elite group of landed gentry (most of whom were slave owners)--not a democracy. Democracy implies involving by all classes--the great unwashed. They did not want those who toiled the earth to have anything with running the country. Only those who owned the earth could have that privilege, and could vote. So much for the "oldest democracy on earth."
Irene Diaz Reyes Thank you, dear Irene, for helping others to know and understand the TRUTH (La VERDAD) about the U.S.'s treatment of its indigenous peoples. I'm a gringa who is DEEPLY ASHAMED of being part of a country that has been so cruel and made even more so by telling lies that it is a benevolent democracy, when, in fact, it has been a predatory MURDERER of innocent souls, from its native peoples to the people of Japan, Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq. It seems that its victims are usually non-whites for it is basically a racist country, as evidenced by so much of its history throughout its more than 200 yrs. For me, Pedro Albizu Campos, Juan Mari Bras , Lolita Lebron and all of the Puerto Rican freedom fighters such as the two young innocents who were murdered by the CIA (official murdereers of the USA) in 1978 on top of a mountain, and David Sanes, a true martyr for Puerto Rico, who died in one of the bombings of Vieques (using this precious small island for a bombing range makes me furious just to think about it; thank God it has finally come to an end due to the Puerto Rican peoples' steadfast bravery in protesting with Ruben Berrios and Lolita Lebron) and the Macheteros freedom fighters were great heroes who were willing to die for the Puerto Rican peoples' ending slavery for the United States, who uses them for cannon fodder and earlier for cheap labor in the sweatshops of New York City starting in the early 40s.
Thats the reason we need to get respect
+Irene Diaz Reyes gracias Irene por recordarles a esto pajuatos la realidad que acontecio en 1926. No fueron los Americanos que asesinaron a los Nacionalistas fueron puros Puerto Riquenos que abrieron fuego, igualmente en la Universidad De Puerto Rico en Rio Piedras

La verdad que esto toca corazones,esta es la manera por la cual hemos sido tratado,tanto en el pasado,en el presente,y al parecer asi continuaremos siendo tratados por aquellos quienes por su propia voluntad se han aduenado de un pedasito de Tierra la cual estos saben que les e muy dificil (aunque no Imposible) defenderse sola. Soy nacido en el Pueblo de ese Gran Proser quien fue Eugenio Maria De Hostos. Mayaguezano de Naciemiento,Puertoriqueno por Derecho,y Obligacion.E vivido por muchos anyos en Nueva York,esto lo e tenido que hacer por que al estar en Puerto Rico se me hiso tan dificil conseguir trabajo por alla,y por eso decidi regresar a Nueva York,pues antes de la muerte de mi Senora Madre,esta nos trajo a mi,y a mis hermanos a principio de la decada de los 70 para esta Ciudad. E estudiado en ambas parte,tanto aqui en Nueva York,como alla en Puerto Rico,hablo ambos Idiomas. I speak english,as well as Spanish. Pero,No cambiaria por nada mi nacionalidad Puertoriquena,por esta Ciudadania de segunda clase Americana la cual nos han impuesto,o mejor dicho nos impusieron aquellos Politicos quienes llegaron a ese acuerdo con esta gente de los E.E.U.U. Hablo de esta manera por que se lo que es sufrir ese prejuicio de parte de estos Americanos,No e sido un Santo,pues no tapo el Cielo con la mano,pero se,y conosco desde lejos la discrimiminacion cuando la veo,y hasta la puedo oler. Mi Pueblo a sufrido un sinnumero de atropellos por parte de aquellos quienes por la fuerza se han aduenado de nuestro suelo. Cuando por primera vez,hise uso del voto,como no sabia,y al continuar en parte con la tradicion de mi familia,vote por el Partido Nuevo Progresista alla en Puerto Rico (El PNP) Mas,cuando vote por segunda vez,esta vez aca en Los Estados Unidos vote por el Partido Democrata, Al expresar de la Injusticia cometida hacia mi por las autoridades en un Juicio en el cual un Oficial de La Policia de la Ciudad de Nueva York dijo haberme detenido en Cuatro diferentes lugares a la hora de mi Arresto por alla Por el 2002,Marzo 08,del 20202 para ser mas especifico,decidi Jamas volver a votar por ninguno de estos Politicos de pocotillas quienes hoy dia se postulan ya que a ellos me diriji en busca de Justicia la cual nunca llego,Esto lo Jure por lo mas Alto,y por Aquel quien esta Sentado sobre su Trono. De yo Poder,le exortaria a mi Pueblo que no busquen unirse para nada a una Nacion la cual profesa estar esparciendo Jusrticia y Libertad,pero la cual a nosotros nos tienen presos,y atados encontra de nuestra Voluntad. Donde esta esa Justicia,y Libertad que estos profesan estar repartiendo por el Mundo? Si hoy dia son muchos mas los enemigos que estos tienen,que aquellos quienes buscan asociarse con ellos. No estoy encontra del Pueblo Norte Americano,estoy encontra de las Injusticias impartidas por los Injustos,quienes mediante sus Injusticias,buscan Justificar sus causas por mas perversas que estas sean. Despierta Jibarito,como decia Marvin Santiago: No te duermas en las pajas que te lo llevan to. Dios bendiga a todo Puertoriqueno,jibarito quien asi como yo tenemos un Amor Inconfundible e incondicionar por nuestra Isla,Nuestra Patria,Por Puerto Rico. Dios les Bendiga Hermanos;Viva por siempre Puerto Rico.
As a mexican that loves history and the puerto rican guajiro and salsa music....this was very informative thank you for sharing.

I love the documentaries about P.R. and it's history and struggle to maintain an identity while being a commonwealth of the U.S. My parents were born there(Mom: Cidra and Dad:Camuy) they met in NYC in the immigration wave of the 1950's...
Where did you ancestors come from,
Before Puerto Rico ?
Time-line, 1700s - 1800s max ?
Yo lo digo por que mi bisabuelo era colono
Esta pelicula es totalmente inolvidable. Lo vi completito y me encanto! Gracias!
Siempre he admirado como se ama la patria desde la diáspora; no porque estando en la Isla no se ame, sino porque simplemente es un amor distinto e intensificado por el recuerdo, la nostalgia, la añoranza y que se acrecienta en el abigarrado terreno de la diáspora donde es necesario mostrar al otro de dónde se es, no por contienda mas por hallar identidad ante el otro.
Ya era tiempo que alguien le diera la importancia que tiene nuestra historia, cultura a nuestro País. Es nuestra responsabilidad ensenarles a nuestros hijos, y nietos lo bello que es nuestra historia, música y cultura en Puerto Rico.
Como puertorriqueña soy muy orgullosa de ser de una Isla tan bella como lo es Puerto Rico. Lo que nunca he entendido es que no es fácil encontrar libros para poder aprender y darles a nuestra juventud para que conozcan a nuestra Isla.
ESOS LIBROS NO TIENEN LA REAL HISTORIA.
EN LAS ESCUELAS NUNCA LO TENDRAN... PERO HAY INTERNET SOLO HAY Q BUSCAR,
EL BORICUAZO HABLA MUCHO D HISTORIAS.
Y EXPLICA.
HAY MUCHOS DOCUMENTALES D LOS CUALES SON TRISTE VERLOS COMO SUFRIERON Y LOS ENGAÑABAN,

wow Puerto Rico's history have been suppressed by the US in an incredible way that many Puerto Ricans don't know our history including my self at 43 I new nothing of our history except that our ancestors were Indios Tainos & that Christopher Columbus discover Puerto Rico, after watching video after video of Puerto Rico's history my tears come as I try to hide my tears from showing so that my son who's sitting a few feet from me don't ask me why am I crying sorry had to stop a few times from typing so that I can dry my tears, as I was saying Puerto Rico have been to hell & back damages caused by the United States of America & yet after these incredible heroes fought for & died for our land we still want to become statehood to this evil country forgetting those who fought for it I am a shame, a shame that my people have given hope.
Saludos Tony V. Me alegro que éste video haya servido de bendición a tu conciencia como puertorriqueño. Con todo respeto te ofrezco un consejo - y es que ahora continues compartiendo con tu descendencia y a tus amistades éste maravilloso regalo que es el verdadero conocimiento histórico de nuestra patria y nuestros ancestros para asi regalarles la conciencia que el mismo brinda. Es preciso que este conocimiento llegue a tus hijos (a la juventud) quienes son el verdadero futuro de Puerto Rico y estoy seguro que lugar a duda ellos serán los liberadores de nuestra gente de mas de este colonialismo absurdo que data de mas de 500 años - primero por mano de los españoles y luego 116 años a mano de la explotación estadounidense. Gracias por compartir tu experiencia al encontrarte con esta verdad.

vi el video link que me dejastes despues que deje el ultimo comentario, video muy interesante otro video que me habre los ojos y mi forma de pensar gracias por el link
Tony V Contra me alegra un montón que te haya llegado el mensaje. Es mucho lo nos han engañado y ocultado y los puertorriqueños están entretenidos mientras la PROPAGANDA ENGAÑOSA continua y el saqueo de la isla se intensifica. Nos tienen peleando unos contra otros en mientras otro controla nuestro destino. Los politicos puertorriqueños no pueden hacer nada mientras los gringos en Washington continúen siendo los que dan la ultima palabra en cuanto a nuestra isla y nuestros recursos.
Esta misma PROPAGANDA ENGAÑOSA es la que han usado para enseñarnos que y que nosotros somos unos mantenidos. Pa' lante Tony... y despierta a otros hermanos boricuas. ¡Bendiciones!

I LOVE PUERTO RICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this documentary. Presented with the care and insight to tell the beautiful and sometimes ugly truth regarding our history. We all know what is truly best for our beloved Boriquen. But, unfortunately it's too late. Our beautiful country has been suckling on the nipple of the fattest cow in the world for several generations. Never having an opportunity to really taste independence. There would have to be a radical change in the whole mindset of our people and a real leader to introduce change. I by no means wish to "blame" the U.S. I am proud to be an American, but more proud to be of Puerto Rican heritage. Justicia pa Puerto Rico!

Amo a la nacion Americana y para mi Puerto Rico seria mas importante en el mundo si fuese el estado numero 51. No quiero la indendencia para mi isla. No quiero que se convierta en otra Cuba. No quiero verla buscando ayuda de China y Rusia. Que Dios me bendiga mi islita.
Gracias por su servicio guerrero. Te honro y te saludo con un fuerte abrazo.
Te Amo, y honro todos tus años. Salud y bendiciones para usted Angelo.
I love Puerto Rico as I love south the bronx
Thank you for sharing. History should never be forgotten. We can learn from the past! Loved it! I will share with family and friends.
Gracias aprendi mucho de mi Puerto Rico! :') Como extraño mis playas
Me encantó este programa muy informativo 💪🏾🇵🇷
The most informative video about Puerto Rico ever seen! Tremendo! It is sad that students don't get the real history at school. That is on purpose; of course.
Hay q compartirlo con todos en la isla para q salgan de la tormenta política
Love to learn about my beautiful island. Really sad to see and hear all the things that my Puerto Rican people went through. GOD Bless their souls and GOD bless our island, Boriquen!
Most definitely the BEST doc I've ever seen about my Island!!! I search UA-cam all the time for docs about my Island and this is by far the best one. Thanks so much! I love PR!!! You should do a doc about the PR flag lol... I would love to know the history of our Flag :-)!!! Que Viva Puerto Rico!!!
Incredible and powerful. I was born in the Bronx, but lived in PR until my great-grandparents died in 1980. I remember their love for Puerto Rico, el Estado Libre Asociado, I remember the "caravanas" and political rallies. I also remember the grief even I felt as we said goodbye to Luis Muñoz Marín... (and I was only 8 years old) It was the collective grief of the entire island. This documentary is priceless and a must-watch for all, especially those who KNOW that Puerto Rico is in their veins, but yearn for a deeper understanding.
+Greg Medina Veldá é!
Keep in mind that San Juan Puerto Rico’s streets were paved when there was no New York, Boston, or Philadelphia yet...
So what that's a dumb statement! Everyone knows the Europeans /Spanish conquered PR before America was founded. Why wouldn't the Spanish Europeans bring their culture of paving streets to the Island...lol
That's not true.!!!!

I love this I also went to PS 62..and lived in 590 prospect ave...between beck st and fox st..and saw and lived thru the burnings of the south bronx..amazing history...
Puerto Rico ha olvidado que su gente cuenta con sangre taina, sangre nativoamericana que lo liga a su pasado milenario y lo hace una patria única y distinta a las demás, ese es el Puerto Rico que debe aparecer, uno que mezcle lo moderno y la tradición y la historia
Se te olvidaron los Africanos y los españoles. De esos tienes mas en tu ADM.
I absolutely love this video documentary. One of the best detailed explanation of our history from start to finish. I want to thank you for your work in helping many people become aware of our culture and history.
Great presentation! Thank you for your dedication & efforts! Only God has the last word on what we will be; the Island is a diamond in his hands. Many have come & gone and many more will come & go, me, you mine & yours!!!
I watched this great documentary years ago, and really, REALLY enjoyed it. The part that I am most grateful for, was that it introduced me to Pedro Albizu Campos ..... in my opinion, the most impressive Puerto Rican, in the history of Puerto Rico. It led to an obsession that made me hungry to find out more and more about him.
Debe ser editado con subtítulos en español, para beneficio de la población que no habla Inglés. ¡Gracias!
This inspired me tremendously. Growing up in the US as a Puerto Rican my sense of pride for my culture and my island has always been immense. Sadly on visits back to my beloved island have saddened me greatly. The drive of the people doesn't feel as great as it once was. And the people no longer care of the status their homeland holds. They've become so accustomed to living in their endless limbo that many no longer even care.
Very good and informative documentary. I feel awful to know how the USA has done some very wrong things to the citizens of Puerto Rico. You have a wonderful country and very good people and heritage. I believe things will change for the better. I have a new Puerto Rican friend, and I wanted to find out more about where she spent most of her life.
Beautiful my brother! Thank you for your support and kind words about our people and country. Wish you the very best in your new friendship... Thanks for sharing! :)
de nada Senor
Ronald: you are very disingenuous in saying the USA has done some very wrong things to the U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico and ignore the overwhelming great things it has done for Puerto Rico and giving millions of Puerto Ricans a good education with schools and universities and good economic opportunities in the island and in the 50 states. Did you know that it was the U.S. that funded the first public University in Puerto Rico, the University of Puerto Rico and other federal funding to help the poor. Puerto Ricans have the highest wages than any Latin Republic. There is a reason why over 95% don't want to give up U.S. citizenship and reject independence. Put things under perspective and look at the big picture. Overall the relation between the U.S. and Puerto Rico has been good, the Federal government can't solve every problem of every Puerto Rican, that's impossible. This documentary was very bias towards the independence movement even though they ONLY represent less than 5% of the electorate. The lady was very bias towards that movement since she admitted her family was pro independence. I found some flaws from the Vieques incident and why the U.S. went after the nationalists. She forgot to mention most of them were Marxist revolutionaries. Saying you are for independence is one thing but ignoring what kind of system of government they want once they are in power is the key and they want to force that on the majority even though they are less than 1% of the electorate.
mike boyer not true
I'm 40 years old and its been getting worse day by day since I was born. Its not going to get better until people like Pedro alvizo campo become religion. also, were these max revolutionaries reading before you built the universities, or you trying to say that puerto Ricans were dumb before you got there. Because the guarani were a sea faring people who's reach went all around the world before Columbus landed. You can see for yourself the mention of the long fast boats that use to camsipate Spanish ships in open ocean like no other, and the pineapple in hawaii. Never the less, Pedro campo had degrees in Harvard, so was it his jeans that mad him mad or the sircumstances surrounding him. And to make my nationalist point, campo was basque not Spaniard. Them Spaniard are actually as bad as the anglos
Im the most proud boricua of my country mi sangre my spirit my soul and all mi race the puerto rican people
A very nice documentary, even though is about 20 years old, it reveals the feelings of the puertoricans,.... through out their history....
I sure learned a lot looking at this video. a Bronx Puertorican myself, enjoyed it very much. thank you for sharing
¡Que viva Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷
No pude verlo completo dieron ganas de llorar 🇵🇷💜🙏PR Dios te bendiga
Upon viewing this documentary prior to my trip to Puerto Rico for the first time, I'm grateful that I have been enlightened about PR's struggles and triumphs. The historical Narrative was accurately depicted from what I have read and heard through folk lord and familial testimonials. Special Thanks to the sponsors and everyone who was involved in putting together this most wonderful historical account of my ancestors.
I'm glad you liked it brother. If you speak spanish then you shouldn't miss this other video. ua-cam.com/video/4Kdvw7Ab4uM/v-deo.html
On this video you'll learn all the repercussions that all of us puertorriqueños are suffering inside and outside of the island IN THE PRESENT TIME as a direct result of the historic facts you just learned on the MI PUERTO RICO documentary. Muchas gracias ;)
Pedro Rodriguez Los espanoles fueron los que saquearon a Puerto (Pobre ) Rico y a todas sus colonias .Acabaron con los Tainos y trajeron a los esclavos africanos para sustituir la mano de obra.Nunca le dio la ciudadania espanola ( A Dios gracias) Muchos se sienten orgullosos y llaman Madre a Espana, como madre se colgo (F-) no nos crio ni sustento,sino que extermino a los Tainos. Siglos pasaron para hacer un aguaje de darnos unas migajas autonomicas,los americanos nos dieron la ciudadania en menos de 30 a~os cuando en siglos nuestra MALA MADRE nunca nos reconocio.Verguenza debe darle a los boricuas de tener una madre asi,una madre que se prostituye para sustentar a sus hijos tiene mas HONRA que una madre que no se ocupa de los suyos(como hizo la madre Espana que nos despojo).En fin Espana tiene una historia mas negra que el azabache.Gracias a Dios por U.S.A. que a tratado a Puerto Rico como lo debio hacer Espana y no lo hizo ,El premio a la PEOR MADRE se lo lleva ESPANA (y SIN COMPETENCIA).

Without knowing your past, your future will be just shadows.
Si no se conoce el pasado, el futuro solo será sombras.
Thanks for the documentary that even for those that does not agree with the ideas, history can’t be erased and
we will learn from it.
Gracias por el documental pues aunque no estén de acuerdo con las ideas, la historia no se borra y siempre se aprende de ella.
Good video like wise I was raised in the Bronx also very close from where the video speaks about I was from Ward Ave in the late 70 but I live my life for Puerto Rico Isla del Encanto ., nothing like our Island NOTHING.

We have a proud History to be known and a strong will to preserve it forever. Let everyone know, even those who were not born on this Island that it's blood courses through our veins and it's spirit is forever within us all.
I absolutely loved this documentary! It was so informative and full of culture and history. Thank you for your efforts! ....................Maria Aponte
Thank you so much for posting this... It was awesome.
Excellent crash course on PR history...Sadly many Puertoricans do not have a clue about this. Nonetheless, those who value their culture will do their homework and learn for their own self-dignity and respect.
Yo naci en esa bella isla y cuando tenia 7 casi 8 mi mama nos trajo a los Estados Unidos. Esto me hizo recordar como fuimos maltratado en las escuelas. Las maestras querían que solo habláramos inglés y nos regañban por hablar español. Yo me recuerdo en 3 er grado que la maestra me gritó por escribir mi nombre Mabel en el papel porque segun ella yo estaba en los EEUU y tenia que decirlo en ingles y escribirlo Mable. Yo aun sigo viviendo en los EEUU porque me case y pues se me hecho dificil regresar a mi bella isla. Mi deseo es que ya que mis hijos terminaron la escuela de regresar a mi isla.
PORQUE SIENDO PUERTO RICO UN PAIS LATINO DE HABLA HISPANA, HACEN EL DOCUMENTAL EN INGLES?? NO ENTIENDO UN CARAJO.
Sabes porque mi amigo? Tienen odio a los hispanos y quieren borrar nuestra cultura. En Filipinas, en Guam, en Islas Carolinas, en las marianas lo hicieron con mucha represión. Y luego vienen diciendo de los Españoles...los cuales nos mezclamos con todos los pueblos, y los yanquis ya me diréis con quien.... Abajo la Leyenda Negra! Todo es propaganda de USA y de los ingleses. Ladrones, rastreros, mentirosos, cobardes y sin honor.
Viva España!, Viva Puerto Rico y Viva la Hispanidad!
TODO LO QUE HAS DICHO ES VERDAD MI HERMANO, EL YUGO SIGUE, EL RACISMO CONTINUA Y LA REPRESIÓN SIEMPRE ESTA VIGENTE. GRACIAS POR CONTESTAR MI HERMANO, UN ABRAZO DESDE LIMA PERU Y !!ARRIBA ESPAÑA Y TODA LA HISPANIDAD!!
Saludos! Hermano! Cuenta conmigo para lo que quieras! :D Siempre unidos!!!
La mayoria de los Puerto Riquenos que nacen en Nueva York, afueras de la isla no saben hablar ni entienden el espanol. Quizas es para ellos, para que sepan de su historia porque si uno mismo no lo busca mo se sabra porque en este pais las escuelas no hablan de nada de estao.
MUY BUENA RAZON MICHAEL, DEBE SER POR ESO, PORQUE ALLA EN EE.UU. LOS CHICOS NO HABLAN CASTELLANO NI LOS DEJAN HABLAR EL IDIOMA DE SUS RAICES. GRACIAS POR TU COMENTARIO, UN ABRAZO
Long live Albizu Campos. Puerto Rico will be free.
I loved this documentary very very educational.
Thank you. Born in Manhattan in1953 I have never been more indoctrinated like I have been now
concerning what I believe are my true roots......My Puerto Rico.
Gracias!!!
Saludos, soy puertorriqueña de nacimiento y cuando era una cria, nos mudamos a E.U. La verdad que duele ver como los puertorriqueños han tenido que sufrir. Los españoles no regalaron a Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, los americanos lo invadieron que es muy diferente. Y muchos de los puertorriqueños saben bien su historia. Mi opinión, yo prefiero Reunificación con España🇪🇸. Mi admiración para el Pedro Albizu Campos descansa en paz. No hay mal que dure cien años.
Yo nací en Caguas y cresi en el pueblo de gurabo y el que sabe nuestra historia los españoles llegaron a puerto Rico y abusaron de nuestros indios hasta el punto de matarlos y violando a nuestras indias y si digo estar orgulloso de raíces española pues no no lo siento así esplotaron el oro de puerto Rico pero orgulloso por qué nunca nuestros indios se dejaron esclavizar y eso sí es orgullo y vengo de la raíces de esos indios viva boriquen viva mi tierra la más hermosa del planeta
Gracias Damary, VIVA PUERTO RICO LIBRE
Yo no la prefiero, ni con España ni con nadie
PR libre q se asocie con el mundo 🌎, sin tener q seguir mandatos d nadie.
Q podamos tomar nuestras decisiones con quién nos plasca.
