Agreed

[@cornholio11103]

This is just too much intellectual "fluff". Come on NYU, you could do better!

I don't like the vibe I get this older man Race separated. The people of Puerto Rico are of mixed race. From black to white skin all have mix ancestors.

[@zenaidatackett9594]

Agree... White skin is from the Spaniards from Spain. The black skin is from the people of Africa. We are also mixed with the Taino tribe as well whom were the first inhabitants of Puerto Rico (PR) when the Spanish arrived. It was in the 16th century when the British told Spain to go to Africa and bring the African people to America. The Africans went to PR as well.

Because you should already know is that white skin Spaniards still dominate the Narrative of the Island living , when your living in the Island the White skin Puerto Ricans dominate the Hierchy of Socialite in the Island .. I’ve Sat down by accident in a few spots and. I was stared oddly and even had a non situation in the UPR in Puerto Rico .. What’s sad it’s that 87 % of puert ricans are lost in their own history , don’t want to really learn , others are holding others to great education , and others issues about The abilities to stay focused in Deep Reading and Academio studies to make money to live in The Island or elsewhere ..

@Carmen Burgos I agree with you. Look at the government, academics, and economic leaders in Puerto Rico, they are mostly White Puerto Ricans. Overall, this talk had nothing to do with the history of Puerto Rico, but the musings of academics.

This is true. But I believe once we start working together ( the new independence movement) we must understand the world is a business. We must get are business in order and start working and trading with different countries. Denounce the Jones act and every law that has a spell on our people . We have not even turn the key on this yet we must believe but not blindly
