rosie waste a lot of tv time talk about the tainos a if they be super influential in the dynamic of the modern day puerto rican . they be not . the truth be that the african and the spanish be and she know it . what kill me be that she be stand on the screen look like some average light skin black chick ( with an obvious black daddy and cousin and auntie ) pretending to truly acknowledge the real essence of what make them the modern day puerto ricans and but barely mention how african influence the way their spanish be speak and the food and music . she be so typical and i lose a lot of respect for her and will not support anything else she do . also and since she want to dance around her african ness then she need not take more role associate with blackness ( i. e. lackawanna blue ) . we can find a prideful black latina next time ( thank you zoe saldana and gina torres and gina ravera and melissa desousa ) . to the puerto rican on here that say they be african and not black . thank you . we black certainly do not have anything in common with you so there be no love lose . but and since you be probably in the state and have benefit from the civil right movement we would like for you refuse any decent human treatment you receive courtesy of the blood and sweat and tear from the back of the black you share nothing with . if i be correct puerto ricans have a terrible image in the medium and but we black do not spend our time try to disrespect you because we know that the medium love to exploit the low point and behavior of all minority to maintain mindless generalization . however and you evidently have feed into the hype that one you be somehow white or superior . you be not . also and you somehow feel compel to believe that black culture be bet . again you be incorrect and need to take a vacation out of the hood . try visit atlanta and ga. and houston and texas and charlotte and n. c. trust me none of those black want to claim your culture either .
