People speak Spanish in Puerto Rico and live in 90% Hispanic (entre comillas) plus areas in Puerto Rico. Gringos brillan por su ausencia. Puerto Ricans speak Spanish. They do. No one can say they don't. Yet they are USA citizens. Born USA citizens. Yet, they are statutory USA citizens and are subject to having the citizenship revoked or repealed by the USA congress---which they have a representative in but whom can't vote. Is that a bag of crappy contradictions or not? Who decides to let congressional representatives vote in the USA congress and senate? The Puerto Ricans or the USA stateside residents and citizens? Stateside citizens.

Is that a fair state of affairs or does it smell like discrimination and exclusion and shabby treatment to you folks? If it is shabby and discriminatory how does one deal with discrimination, injustice and shabby treatment? By giving up? Saying---haz conmigo lo que quieras? I don't think so.

Again---repeat after me---The United States government has been unfair to the people of Puerto Rico. The United States government has been unfair to the people of Puerto Rico. The United States government has been unfair to the people of Puerto Rico. The United States government has been unfair to the people of Puerto Rico. The United States government has been unfair to the people of Puerto Rico. The United States government has been unfair to the people of Puerto Rico.

Sonambulo, once you truly understand what that means. Then what you suggest to combat that issue will be a good idea and a good thought. If you refuse to accept that the USA gov't has been unfair and you keep wanting Puerto Ricans to accept the unfairness and just go on and make the society better without the tools to do it---you will be guilty of NOT GETTING IT. AT ALL.

You can't say, forget the status issue---concentrate on cleaning the streets, combatting the corruption, catching the criminals and educating the youth, and caring for the sick, and etc. etc. You know Puerto Rico forget about the status---just do the concrete stuff. The concrete stuff is controlled by the absentee landlords with some colonial puppets responding Sonambulo. And the puppeteers behind the curtain don't care about the interests of the islanders they care about their own interests. And until the puppets get swept away and the people of Puerto Rico can no longer function properly in their world that is absent of Gringos---there aint gonna be much action. Punto y se acabo. Many just say---I give up. I will go to the states and leave my family, my culture, my language and my home and give it up. But why do we have to do it Sonambulo why do we have to give up such a beautiful culture, language, home and place just because some puppeteers behind the curtain want to control something that doesn't and hasn't belonged to them? Why should we accept injustice and inequality for the island? Why should we assimilate to the 300 million hodgepodge and forget our roots and leave it for others to fight? Something has to give. And those who have the history of the island in their veins and in their blood and in their land and history should not have to give it up to please some callous colonizer's agendas far, far away.
