      Funny thing is....as much as people think to like and understand the Puerto Rican culture, believe me...it's nothing similar to the way culture really is in Puerto Rico. Nuyorican is something completely different, not many will understand 😒
      Same I believe happens with Mexicans. Mexicans Americans will never be the same as Mexican celebrating in mother land Mexico...not many will understand

      They should do something about the history of bilingual education in the US because that was all the Chicanos o the left coast and Nuyoricans on the right. because that’s a killer story and it is the reason why kids coming from Bangladesh or Albania get to have bilingual classes in NYS today.

      @@guasaguasa8809 Just because we are liberal...it doesn't make us any less Puerto Rican. There's not a specific mold of what a Puerto Rican should be or look like. Even in the island, there are conservative Puerto Ricans and liberal Puerto Ricans.
      I am personally not mixed with any other nationality or ethnicity....my parents and their families are all Puerto Rican from all the generations they can remember. But, from what I've seen Nuyoricans who are mixed are not claiming to be 100% Puerto Rican....they are just repping part of their culture. They have a right to do so and should feel pride without someone judging them or taking that pride away from them. It's actually funny because the same ppl who judge and believe Nuyoricans are not Boricua/Puerto Rican are quick to claim famous Nuyoricans or mixed Puerto Ricans as their own. They are also quick to claim famous Puerto Ricans who were not born or raised in the island as one of their own. For example, Marc Anthony....everyone loves Marc Anthony and praises him, but he is Nuyorican. It's a double standard. Since he is famous, no one says anything. Ozuna is another example of this double standard. He doesn't talk much about his personal life, but from my understanding, he is part Dominican or his parents are both Dominican but he was born in Puerto Rico. It's sad people try to create division especially considering there are more Puerto Ricans who live in the U.S. than in the mainland. It is what it is and I hope it gets better. We all have different experiences, but we love Puerto Rico and feel pride for our flag, people, and island.

    Need a part two. It gets deeper, there’s too much more. I know this, and I’m not even Puerto Rican. There’s the music and it’s subgenres, there’s people from different parts of PR and how they interact with each other, there’s people who can’t speak English or those who can’t speak Spanish, the activities they do, their parades, their regular lives, how they feel about politics, how they see their identity, how they think their community can improve, what they see coming in the future...

    Eli! El barrio is historically a Puerto Rican enclave but it’s primarily Mexican now! The south Bronx is where 45% of the Boricuas live and where our culture is growing and developing!

    I really LOVE seeing these videos. I, being a Puerto Rican who was born in the states (FL) - admire our culture sooo much. I’m so proud of our people! And I rep our lil island everywhere and anywhere I can. I pray one day I’ll have the privilege to finally set foot on our isla for the first time ever ❤️ & though I’m not from there.. seeing this and other videos of PR make me so emotional.. I have such a profound love for PR mannnnn!!!!!!! q viva Puerto Rico, puñetaaaaa 🇵🇷

    Being Indigenous/"Native American" & other Indigenous Peoples of The Islands, Central & South American, we ALL have so much rich history with the land & that is what Colonizers don't understand. These areas are our Ancestoral Homelands - We will ALWAYS be a part of it & it apart of Us!! We don't know borders. That's what they don't understand!!! They made those borders. They enforce their beliefs into Us! And we're ALL tired of it!!!!

      It is one thing to be proud of Indigenous heritage. It is another thing to speak on boarders and history. Even Indigenous people understood boarders and warred with other tribes.

    • @hiphipjorge5755

      @@thetimeliver6788 Funny because the true indigenous peoples (who genetically have little Spanish influence and still retain the languages and culture) don’t have much resentment against the Spanish. They tend to just be focused on their own communities.
      And whether they are Quechua people in Peru or Embera people in Panama or Mayans in Mexico, they will tell you that they see the Spanish-speaking, mixed race majority as different. They don’t view us as indigenous because to them the concept “indigenous” doesn’t exist. To a Mixtec woman in Oaxaca, she is Mixtec first and foremost, before being Mexican. “indigenous” identity is made up because real indigenous people don’t see themselves as the same. The only thing that unifies them is colonization and the need for resistance. Not a real cultural identity

But I do want to be able to speak up for the boricuas and be more in tune with the culture. Since I’m such a proud Mexican. If anybody would give me idk tips lmao I don’t know where to start my search

We would go to the beach go shower out for dinner n then time to protest! Lol the unity we felt made us even more proud! I love my people n they love us back! They way they embraced us knowing we lived in the states n we were there with them was way better then anything else! God bless mi isla y mi gente! 🇵🇷

    We have suffered a lot in PR. I think that lots of people who say that have puertorican roots, don’t even know how a puertorican living in the island is. So much has changed. That’s why you need to come to Puerto Rico and experiment what I’m saying yourself! We have paradise and so much more.

It's on L.E.S and it's a place where talented people gather no matter what race you are black, brown, white to show case their art in poetry, stand up comedy and other type of performing arts. I use to go to their poetry slam events, very cool.

All of NYC is getting gentrified claim your stale and history. Mi gente, we need to continue to teach our rich history, music, culture, food, art, language, etc forward to the next generations. What doesn’t get passed down gets lost. Que viva la raza Latina.

    Pretty awesome video! Great job. Man I loved it the more I think about it ! And worry Eli your identity comes from within ! As long as you are happy and proud of who you are and where you come from that’s all that matters. Never seek anyone else’s approval ! Your approval comes from your pride ! And it’s like what the young lady said, I to felt when people would be like oh you’re NewYorkRican they were trying to take my Ricanness from me ! But we are to a culture and carry the same legacy and traditions as the Ricans from the island ! And at times it feels like we even have more pride of being Puerto Rican’s. But at the end of it all we are all the same and come from our ancestors. With peace and love we can make the world better one day at a time.

The “Losaida Festival” that takes place near there every summer is a wonderful Puerto Rican day of pride! Lots of drummers show up in front of her restaurant on that day to jam with others who bring guiros and cowbells. If you have the chance, check it out in person! 🇵🇷
