Your not Latinos or Hispanics the African descent you really think Latinos Hispanic like Jamaicans they consider theyself as white Latinos so don't be proud to say Caribbean's in the house because in New York City back in the 70s Puerto Rican didn't get along with Jamaicans the Jamaican didn't get along with Puerto Ricans you might be from the same island but they don't feel like you one of them trust me

Bro K. My comment has little to do with PR but a lot to do with how WE treat people. You get the drift? For over 200 years Black Nova Scotians settled land without title. Recently our provincial government (Nova Scotia) passed the LAND TITLES INITIATIVE. A community elder was hired to help as a facilitator to get clear title to their land AT NO COST. This allowed community members to mortgage, bequeath, or sell. As far as I know the border is still open and the power is still on in Michigan, New York state and Wisconsin. BUT... As always, your compatriot in Cuba, travel, and life.

Does a little misinformation in your video if a person lives in a house and doesn't have the title by paying light and water and utilities for such a long period of time they can use that as their title

You are almost right about 1- the migration of people from rural areas to metropolitan areas, specifically San Juan. They DID NOT own any land, they were “arrimaos “ ( share croppers) they worked for the landowners and lived in shacks in the owner property. They were paid with coins ( not a legal tender) that belonged to the individual landowners . The landowners had grocery stores in their property where the sharecropper can use the “coins” to buy food. Usually at the end of the week the sharecropper owned more than what they earned. The landowners kept their debt in what is called “libreta del jornalero”. It was a life of perpetual servitude, a new way of slavering. 2- The name of the area known as Viet Nam came from the late 60 early 70. The government wanted to kick these people out to take the land, like you said, they been there for decades not legally owning the land they built their homes. This happened all over the island specifically in San Juan. When the government evicted them and they wouldn’t leave, the government showed up with police, cranes eventually the National Guard to remove them by force. It was very violent, not only homes got destroyed, people got hurt even die. It was during the war in Viet Nan era, this area took the name from it. Some areas won, but some didn’t. A perfect example, besides this one, is La Perla neighborhood, the more expensive Real Estate. It used to be the slaughterhouse area during Spain colonization. It housed the slaves, colored servants, homeless, that weren’t allowed to live in the city of San Juan. The government has tried to evict these people without luck, for decades. That the reason they are very protective and do not trust strangers. .
You may have started in Vietnam, but the water front resturant were the music end resturant are, that's my barrio Cataño. Is very close but not the same thing
I do remember leaving la finca and driving down the mountain you'll see this little Houses at the edges of the mountain made of cardboard, wood, metal panels, plastic etc... which it was very sad. They were family with kids, pets etc... but very poor.
I have a channel that talks about stuff like this and the reason it has that particular name not because of the war between one and the other it is cuz around the seventies and eighties a lot of places and monuments were changed due to people that are coming back from the Vietnam War I have a street where I was raised from that's called the Orient Street and that was because of world War II

Squatter is not the exact word. A squatter is a person who takes possession of an already owned home. What you're describing here the exact term used in Puerto Rico is a “Land or terrain invasion” Invasión De Terreno which is homeless people take an empty or abandoned space to build their home, these homes can be small or full sized homes even two story high. 7:28 Lol, same story here. 😂
@@angelmorales6012 no no this is right on the bay… close to Sj…. I mentioned Caguas, because I had read about the population loss in Caguas…. I did that video… maybe 18 months ago
I was enjoying the video and at 16:36 minutes,you dubbed some slack reggae music,which makes Jamaican men sound like predators.Slack music does not match your content.Your videos are good brother,just start using nice timeless music instead.
@@marsallefrancisco4851 ahhhh hi Marsalle…. So I did use Afro City by Yohmar (From Panama of West Indian Ancestry)…. The purpose of that was to give the viewer a sense of sexual tension in the latter end of the video, around the beautiful bartender… I used 5 Puerto Rican salsa songs and one Panamanian dancehall (intentionally for affect).
Because when they say Puerto Rican, they mean New York Ricans who lived in NY when Hip Hop started. I grew up in New York. New York Ricans and Blacks / African Americans were always together. We eat in each other’s house, listen to the same music, went to the same clubs dated the same girls. That’s where Fat Joe is coming from. HipHop didn’t happen in a vacuum.
yo yard man back for a moment to my American twang. What is interesting is that although this is a "Squatter community" they are still allowed utilities to be connected to the homes and such,.... hum maybe a ploy that the government will use down the road to force them out... hmmmm, Ok now yo yard man wah the gyal them da!!!!!! blood
Like your videos brother but why do you have to put misleading and to us Puertoricans offensive descriptions. In this video the description ends with "They Attacked Me" another about Rio Piedras the description ended with "Sugar Baby" and the thumbnail of a girl. And in either video non of those things happened. This is bait for racists to talk şhïț about Puertoricans and Puerto Rico. This is something I expect from white people but not from a black man, please do better.
First off family, let me thank you for your viewership and your continued support + happy new year! Okay, let me bring you into the creator side of the content making process. Titles and thumbnails are intentionally designed to catch your attention… For the Barrio Vietnam video you may have missed it but some street dogs ran down on me, one charged me but I backed him up…. That was the “attack”… The Rio Piedras video has NOTHING to do with s3x tourism or really sugar baby’s but the title is related to something I saw 6-7 years ago… Rio Piedras as you know is the college town… Thursdays and Saturdays used to be epic… Well, I met a British dude that had a few college girls on deck as Sugar babies. This plus the drugs floating around led me to understand that this college town is more interesting than it appears…. This video is far more innocent in its nature, but I am tipping the viewer off to rarely seen behaviors and trapping them at the same time….
