The Puerto
Rico colonial administrator, Ricardo Rosello, took the opportunity in a press
interview to ask those candidates running in the United States (US) midterm elections
to take a stand about ending Puerto Rico’s colonial status by granting her statehood.
He said that, “It is time to put up, or shut up!” Click on the following link

Ricardo is
the product of 120 years of US colonialism, where Puerto Ricans have been
taught what the empire wants them to know. That, of course, is not Puerto Rico’s
real history. It is the one that would make Puerto Ricans accept their colonial
reality, and discourage their resistance against the United States Government (USG)
to decolonize themselves. https://www.facebook.com/Maxima940/videos/263204177654558/
Ricardo is
ignorant of the fact that in 1898 the USG classified Puerto Ricans as an
inferior race. That was why the USG created the category of the
non-incorporated territories to put Puerto Rico in. These territories are the
ones that will never become a state of the Union.
Ricardo
argues that a majority of Puerto Ricans have voted in 2 plebiscites for Puerto
Rico statehood, but that the USG has ignored them! Ricardo has a problem understanding
that, as a US colony, Puerto Ricans have no right that the USG has to respect. Moreover,
Ricardo’s colonized mind does not allow him to understand that the USG will
never decolonize Puerto Rico, because she is a vital resource to the wealth of
the US Empire.
Ricardo
really believes that he is the governor of Puerto Rico. Ricardo believes that
he represents the interests of Puerto Ricans. Ricardo really believes that by
Puerto Rico becoming a state, Puerto Ricans would have equal rights under the
US Constitution.
If Ricardo’s
mind were not colonized, he would be talking about:
1. The fact that the USG is committing a
crime against humanity having Puerto Rico as its colony since 1898.
2. The fact that the USG signed the United
Nations’ Charter that prohibits colonialism, and that it has violated the Charter since 1945 by keeping Puerto Rico as its colony.
3. The fact that the USG has ignored 37
UN resolutions asking it to immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the
Puerto Ricans.
4. Trying to create a tsunami of people to engage in permanent resistance to force the USG to comply with the democratic desire
of the international community, instead of becoming the US colonial
administrator of a US colony.
We must
decolonize our mind, before we could engage in permanent resistance to force
the USG to comply with international law. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otzBslJLbI0
We must all
get involved, because those who allowed 3,000 people to die unnecessarily after
Hurricane Maria don’t believe in LIBERTY AND IN JUSICE FOR ALL! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1697349163904877/
