A question?r u puertorican?

FIERST GET YOUR STUDY RIGHT IN POINT BEFOR DOING INTERNET OR TH-cam

I truly love your history lessons of our beautiful enchanted and magical Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, thank you Boricua

I can totally relate and so can my whole family. We are from the interior of the island yet I had no idea that I did not look Puerto Rica until I moved to the US because the people on the island know that we can look like the blondest Swede and the darkest Nigerian and a multitude of shades in between. So when someone tells me I don't look Puerto Rican I know how little they know about us because YES I do look Puerto Rican. I look like a Puerto Rican with blond hair and blue eyes. And I am proud to be one!

Black and white flag for me

Puerto Rico by in large never wanted independence from Spain..no matter what the cultural brow beating crowd would have you think..the flag of the Cross of Burgundy is Puerto Rico's true flag

Presentation was pretty decent. I just wish more presentations start with the red, gold/yellow, and green, Arawak Taino flag. Spain’s flag wasn’t the first on the land.

So I discovered your channel yesterday and I love it so far. And in regards to this subject, I 100% understand and have lived your experience.

Thank you so much to all the comments mentioning pieces I may have left out and all the different perspectives. With this being a learning channel I always appreciate those who contribute to the conversation. I want to Pin so many of your comments but can only pin one. So for anyone who treads into the comments & also feels like contributing, please do so in a kind way. I know the people of Puerto Rico are very protective (rightfully so) of the island and its history and I understand that learning in public is probably going to open myself up to some criticism BUT I am so happy that there is conversation happening at the very least. I can’t respond to everyone but know that I am reading the comments and noting them for what is going to have to be video #2! Remember that my intentions are good and I can’t wait to keep the conversation going! ✨

That is the separatist view only. The Grito de Lares thing was really a light thing. And it was leaderated by non puertorrican. Since 1812 PR was a province of Spain. And the puertorricans were citizens. This was intermittent. Depending of the governments in the peninsula. And the 9 century was chaotic in Spain. Puerto Rico had a flag that was red with a white cross in the middle. And I am not sure that it has the "escudo" in the middle. Since the US occupation, there has been a indoctrination established in the educational system (this is documented) for the purpose of changing the European mindset of the puertorricans. In the years of the invasion the Islanders were spanish citizens with representation and vote in the spanish government. And before that also. We were trying to get autonomy like decade before. And the people fighting for it were the diputados that we elect. The independentistas movement use this Leyenda Negra against Spain for their own purpose. Because the majority of puertorricans were fine been Spaniards. And they were willing to defend their "patria" (Spain). There is a letter sent by Betances to Hostos in this regard before the invasion. By the way, the independentistas invited the US to invade. They also send them tactical info. The Grito de Lares was stopped by the people of PR. When the rebels went to San Sebastian, the neighbors arm themselves and stop them. Three times. After that the Spanish regular troops came and the rebels flee. So it is a long shot to claim that flag is the real puertorrican flag. It has an important meaning. But that is not the real flag of Puerto Rico. The real one must be the red one with the withe cross in the middle and the " escudo in the center.

what a mess !!!

WEPA!💪🏼😎🇵🇷❤️

None of those flags was the original Puerto Rican flag , the real one has the lamb on it with orange and yellow colors. Grito de lares was fringe minority group of terrorist that never succeeded because Puerto Ricans were proud to be Spanish. The Island was the Jewel and gateway to the first global Empire of Spain . For 400 years Puerto Ricans defended the island against English and French pirates and no amount of American woke propaganda can remove that Conquistador blueprint in our DNA

Puerto Rico was NOT a colony, it was a Spanish Province. Provincia Ultra Mar with representation in the Spanish Cortes (Parliament) Your position is Not 🚫 from a Spanish/ Puerto Rican historical perspective but from a narrow Anglo centric (WASP) Spanish Black Legend, propaganda propagation. The Puerto Rican Anglocentric Masonic traitors made the flag as a Masonic symbol based on the US flag.

The flag is a Masonic apron that’s where the idea came from

You forgot about the fact that PR have had 7 official flags thru history,my favorite being the black flag with the white cross. There's so many facts you left out 😢

Antes de Puerto Rico ser Puerto Rico, Cual era el Nonbre?????.No te Enojes Con Migo pero si vas a hablar de algo estar segura de lo que vas a decir, vivo en texas soy jibaro de la Sepa, de las lomas de mirabales, y tomo muy enserio a mi islita querida...

Sweetie I think you mean the Lah-Res flag as in the Pueblo Lares. Please check than you😊

Seeing Puerto Ricans displaying our flags everywhere and everyway gives a whole new meaning to me now. It's not just about pride, but because there was a time when we couldn't! Feliz Navidad y Prospero A~o. Que Dios me lo bendiga. 🎀❤️🇵🇷

It was similar to the Haitian flag..,

As a fellow 100% Boricua I am so proud of you and this video. This really warms my heart to find this channel. One question that would make an interesting video for you to research is the shade of blue that is the correct colour. Have you ever seen how passionate and crazy people get on THAT subject? Check it out. Continue PLEASE doing more videos about our island and people. Un abrazo!!!

There is one little fact you've forgotten, the real flag of PR has to have a light blue color, not the dark blue marine color of the US.

There's more to the story. The triangle in both the Cuban and Puerto Rican flags is a symbol of Freemasonry. Betances, Martí,etc. were Freemasons. (Vexillology is the study, of the history, symbolism and usage of flags).

If you are going to assert your Puerto Rican heritage, the least you can do is to learn the correct pronunciation of the local historic names.

There are several things you didn't mention about the Puerto Rican flag. Firstly, Cuba and Puerto Rico were fighting together against Spain for their independence. So, these freedom fighters that you mentioned were in New York to plan a coup against Spain. While in the room, Antonio Velez Alavarado saw the Cuban flag and invisioned the Puerto Rican by inverting the colors. So today's Puerto Rican flag design comes from the Cuban flag. Secondly, there are two shades of blue in the Puerto Rican flag. There's a light sky blue, which is the original color when the flag was introduced. Then there's a dark blue color. This shade of blue represents the blue we see in the American flag.

The actual Puerto flag was a red background yellow cross and the Puerto Rico shield

That was not the Puerto Rico flag. That is the flag from el grito the Lares

Ma... obviously you are born in the United States. What you're doing is very interesting. The only suggestion I have is that you make a more concerted wffort in properly pronouncing details you describe in Spanish. If you pronounce the words phonetically you will not sound like an American Puerto Rican trying to educate Boricuas. That's a Boricua's biggest peeve about our people born in the colonizer's homeland.

👏🏻

The 6 United States Territories (Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Marian Islands, & American Samoa) should be granted full statehood. If these over 4 million people are American citizens at birth, can fight & die in our wars, are lands where U.S. currency is used & taxes, & they vote in Presidential Primaries, they should become actual states. Being a U.S. citizen born in Washington D.C. or on 1 of the 5 Island Territories is like being at an all you can buffet, but you're only allowed to use 1 plate; what's the point of only having partial benefits to being here given that you can't have full benefits like everyone else? Finally, being an American living in these 6 Territories is today's version of "No taxation without representation," since they can't vote for President (except for D.C.) nor do they have Congressmen that can vote on legislation, & with statehood the number of Congressmen stays the same, it's just there would now with 12 Senators & about 9 members of the House representing these 6 new states.

Yeah I'm Argentinian and it has happened to me my whole life!!!! Not just with Americans but also other Latinos are STUNNED when i start speaking in Spanish!!!! By Americans i'm usually asked where did i learn Spanish? I tell them I'm from a country thats speaks it!!!! Then from other Latinos i get yoooo i thought you were a Gringo.....!!!🙄🙄

My mother was a cooper colored redhead with green eyes and lots of freckles. My dad looked like a spainard. Dark hair, brown eyes Both totally puerto rican. We lived in the us for many years, and everyone thought they were spainards. There was a very bad discremination. They had seven kids and all of us look spainish. I have to say this. Everybody in the americas are mixed race... including and more so white usa. If they do dna they will find white,indigenous , and tatstadum.... Black‼️ in puerto rico we have a saying ... for all WHITE americans Y tu abuela a donde esta‼️

When i would tell people I was Puerto Rican they would not believe me because I was pasty white.

Girl, I have seen Puerto Ricans in all colors. Nothing surprises me!

Got the feeling that people think the Spanish are not white? So why are they in the European Union?

Puerto Ricans are not genetically the same. Some are mostly white, others are mostly black , most have Taino people too hung up on race like your going to marry the person

Great video. I saw some friends in your video. I've gone to 6 LOJs

Thanks 🙏🏽 for talking this subject because the dark skin had ages of a different life experience. Fair skin meant privilege for ages. Being darker skin meant abuse anywhere you go and great discrimination. It would take a miracle for darker skin, female and dual language to ever achieve much since there are COINTELPRO projects use kinetic weapons and mind control in active denial projects which are seamless, your mind cannot perceive these are in use. Victims show it with lifetime of losses and injuries. Puerto Ricans today don’t make differences, but that is changing as the island takes in wealthy fair skin América and others who continue race classes. This new population in USA sees how to accelerate success and they too made class distinctions. The cat calls across the border was untoward remarks at Central Americans, but none realize these issues bring them ruins in very short time. Class and race distinction is a far bigger ruin than racism was, none achieve much since all are vastly different, but most are either born American of generations and fair skin, or not. That is a hardline and the American of race pays again another generation. Fortunately my grandchildren fit in even when I leave Earth having experienced the race, class, gender and physical condition wars on humanity. North America is a very sad place to live in.

I'd say at least 50% of Puerto Ricans are white so it's pretty common

Cutie 🥰

There are white Puerto Ricans and black ones. Puetorican is not one ethnic group, it's a mix. Same goes for Cubans.

Thank you 👍🏾❤

I'm a white puerto rican. I have the white nose. I used to have reddish hair when I was a kid. I grew up in P.R. and I was always the whitest kid in school. Other kids hated me cause I looked different and I had white skin. They used to say that i looked like an American. It was hard growing up there. When I was fifteen I moved to the U.S. There were a lot of whites like me and they treated me nice, I guess cause I looked like them.

Thats me at 2:41! Love the way you captured me 🤩❤️

Love this video! 1,000% you should keep going to things, being in shows, and making these.
