Where’s that melting pot?

 

I remember that my social studies teacher said that the United States (US) is an experiment whereby people of other nations are melted into one. I remember thinking, how wonderful! But today, I ask, where is that melting pot?

José Feliciano sang the Star Spangled Banner in the 1968 World Series. Most US citizens criticized him, “supposedly for his unique interpretation of it”. Would they have criticized him if he were a blue eyed and a blond haired artist? Click here to watch that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQkY2UFBUb4

That same year, Dr. Martin Luther Jr. was assassinated in Memphis Tennessee, because he was fighting for civil rights for US Black citizens. Why does anyone who is a citizen of a nation have to fight for his civil rights? Isn't that supposed to come automatically?

Obviously, many people resist this melting pot idea. Elvis Presley seized the opportunity to close his 1968 TV special with a song written especially to express his sentiment, “If I could Dream”. Click here to watch that video: https://youtu.be/u-pP_dCenJA

These people who resist the melting pot idea are alive and well today. Many of them are President Trump’s supporters.  

José Feliciano said in a recent interview, that nobody loves the United States more than he does. Too bad that his love isn’t reciprocated by a great portion of US citizens! Click here to watch that video: https://youtu.be/xd9JXol7otM

Rodney King said, after being almost beaten to death by the police, “Why can’t we all be friends?” We can’t as long as racists are in power! www.TodosUnidosDescolonizarPR.blogspot.com

Why can’t we all be friends?

A partial history of US human rights violations

 

The reconstruction of the United States (US) after her Civil War was supposed to put Blacks on equal footing with Whites. The problem with her reconstruction is that the US was born out of racism. The following video will walk you through the history that you need to know to understand why US racism is alive and well today: https://youtu.be/8dS_lYUiYF4

President Andrew Johnson showed his racism by pardoning all those wealthy former slave owners of treason after the Civil War, so that they could reconstruct slavery. Therefore, the US government stands for, like Governor George Wallace said, “Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever!”      

Is this the US that most of her citizens want?

Spanish Colonization

The Spanish colonization was interested in gold, glory and God. Click on the following link to learn more: https://youtu.be/uWj0GCvn_Oo

Spanish colonization looked to incorporate the indigenous people, while the English looked to eradicate them from their lands. Adolf Hitler was not particularly happy with going to war against England, because, he felt, that she was so much like Germany.

Slavery versus the final solution!

Why hasn’t the UN eradicated colonialism in 60 years?

Tune in to this week’s episode of Fanachu! featuring Dr. Carlyle Corbin, an internationally recognized expert on self-governance and non-self-governing territories.

According to the United Nations, 17 forms colonies remain in the world today in need of decolonization (although the true number would be much higher). Dr. Corbin will share his thoughts as the UN prepares to inaugurate The Fourth International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism.

Episode will be live on Facebook on Thursday (12/17) at 11 am Chamorro Standard Time and on Wednesday (12/16) at 9 pm Atlantic Standard Time in the US Virgin Islands.

Puerto Rico has been a United States (US) colony for the past 122 years. The US government (USG) has been willing to commit a crime against humanity in order to do this. The USG has violated for the past 75 years the United Nations’ (UN) Charter that prohibits colonialism, and has also ignored 39 UN resolutions asking it to immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. http://webtv.un.org/watch/5th-meeting-committee-of-24-special-committee-on-decolonization/6051725003001/

Ni Una Antena Más

Los vecinos de la comunidad Goyito Muñiz en Aguada, Boriken dicen que no permitirán ni una antena más.

La antena en controversia no cumple con ningunos de los requisitos para instalarse en su comunidad. Además, si la antena se cae, caería encima de las viviendas de los residentes. Oprima el siguiente enlace para enterarse de los detalles: https://youtu.be/a-qIpbRQrzk  

Aquí tenemos otro ejemplo más como el mal llamado “gobierno de Puerto Rico” no es para representar a los intereses de los puertorriqueños. Boriken es una colonia del gobierno de Estados Unidos.

Es tiempo que nos indignemos todos para hacer resistencia permanente para lograr nuestra democracia de verdad.  ¡Despertémonos, porque nadie hará la lucha por nosotros!
