Why don't some Puerto Ricans listen?

Obama admite que P.R. es una colonia - YouTube

The President chooses the term "territory" instead of using the word "colony" used by the reporter.  He states that Puerto Rico's current situation is a complicated one, but never admits that the United States (US) is totally responsible for this complication. 

Puerto Rico decolonization can't happen with all this dancing around the fundamental components of the problem, and proposing solutions based on illusions.  This is, however, the US Government's way of maintaining this complication forever.  For whose benefit?

It's obvious that many Puerto Ricans can't see the obvious, as long as Puerto Rico remains militarily occupied!
