Talk about racist, closet fags and jealous rage people. We all know that comments like that only serve to prove that our culture is large, alive and improved. While other Hispanic and insignificant cultures in NYC generate such a tiny fraction of parade attention.–BLAH! You are just mad because our parade gets a LOT OF ATTENTION! We even have the European sneaker makers producing sneakers for the occassion. Thats Right!! Because we are that IMPORTANT to the economy and business sector while you sulk in your insignificant existence.Your ideals don’t count for $h!T!!!!!

The spelling and grammar in this thread is atrocious. Nobody is going to listen if you can’t express yourself in an semi-intelligent manner.

By ydapride on June 10th, 2007 at 3:43 pm

Why are you puerto rican’s so proud? You’re not the best at everything, you’re not the best of any of the latin american countries and if you were more educated you would know that PR isn’t even a damn country, you’re a freakin common wealth! What is there to celebrate your independence? Too much pride for no reason, I say have pride in your “country” but you definitely over do it and half of the PR population does not even know how the situation is back in their precious island.

By boricua4live on June 10th, 2007 at 6:42 pm

It really pisses you off that boricuas are so proud ydapride??? That is your opinion. It’s a free country isn’t, ohh yes, and Puerto Rico is common wealth, so that means we’re free too. We don’t have to deal with the bu”:^&*t that’s going on with immagration. What is the privilege of being independent again? :-) Yeah I thought so. Everyone has a right to be proud of their race,and culture it just so happens that Puerto Ricans do it a whole lot better!!!!

By ClaudiaAG on June 10th, 2007 at 11:39 pm

People, I am not PR.I am a hispanic. Why can’t we just all get along. PR, Black, White, Asian Whatever. Does anyone know why Ricky Martin was the Grand King of the parade? Well, it’s because he uses his voice to help children who don’t a a voice to be heard. Or who others don’t give a shit to hear. he is devoted to children who are being used as slaves in countries all over the world. Yes, including USA. Get your heads out your ass and take a stand. If we all speak up together and help each other our own children will be better people. Whether he is gay or not. SO FUCKEN WHAT! I personally adore him and I am a straight woman. If he can do something to help a child in need i don’t care what the fuck he is……..Think before you act people. Thanks

PS By the way Story goes that Rcky had a girlfriend that had cancer and she died. That is why he was away from the spot light for about 3-4 years.

By The band plays as the boat sinks... on June 11th, 2007 at 1:45 am

Just curious, why not take the PR parade to the Islands of Puerto Rico vs. New York? What better way to show your PR pride than doing things the authentic way. It appears that Puerto Ricans want to publicly show their “pride” in one of USA’s most prevlant cities while blasting salsa tunes but recent statistics have shown that their are more PR’s living in the US than in Puerto Rico–why leave your home if the culture is as rich as what is expressed? While you are showing your pride for your great homeland I hope someone takes the time out to evaluate the status quo of your beloved PR commuity. Though PR’s are citizens of the US the land itself is merley a US territory if you want to march the streets and raise your flags let it be for a reason.

By o.martini on June 11th, 2007 at 2:39 am

Ignoramus!! We never left Puerto Rico. We’ve always been here. Many of us born and raised right here in good ol’ New York. We don’t have to wave the flag on the island. It’s already waving beautifully and grandly there.

We have two homes; ours and our parents, that’s just the way it is. I don’t think our spirits could be quenched by your “merley a US territory”, and “raise your flags for a reason”. It’s our parents flag, and it’s beautiful, that’s good enough. We’ll deal with the politics later.

Our rich culture is alive and strong here, as well as on the homeland. So, we celebrate it and parade it. Sorry, if the music is too LOUD!!!

By steph on June 11th, 2007 at 3:08 am

I agree with claudia, what does one’s sexual orientation have anything to do with anything else? Ricky Martin has done so much for others and that’s that. I doubt he is gay, but even if he is I bet what he has done is a lot more than what straight people have done for others combined.

By Bocon Boricua on June 11th, 2007 at 9:27 am

Well first of all here is a brief lesson on US history for you all ignorant’s and haters out there. Puerto Rico has been part of the US since 1898, and Puerto Ricans are Natural Born US citizens (and proud of it). So my advice give it a rest we are going to be here with you for ever like it or not. Now racism and being a Klan member is something else. The way I look at it is that Racism is illegal, and if you want respect, you better show some respect. Can you think diversity? Had it ever occurred to you that US Citizens (people like you) come in all different colors and sizes, not just white or black?

What about the residents of Guam, US Virgin Islands????

The PR day parade is celebrated because we are very proud of our culture in the island, heritage and being US citizens proud of the US.

By prfinest on June 11th, 2007 at 2:09 pm

to u fuckin haters that hate on boricua is just mad because every guy want to be with us and every girl want to be us you are just mad that your parade is not as poppin as the puerto rican day parade and for your info there was alot people there that wasn’t even puerto rican was reppin puerto rico this to the person who goes by the name fuckpr fuck you, you are a fucking low life you punk bitch pr all day now what bitch!!!

By Jasmine on June 11th, 2007 at 3:25 pm

It’s obvious that these people are jealous. I am proud of my culture, and I love my Puerto Rican people… fyi, Puerto Rican men are the hottest men on earth, and Ricky Martin is a great example.

With that said, all you haters could kiss my sexy puerto rican ass…

To: The hater who called Ricky Martin a homo!
My question to you is do you know Ricky personally? If not keep your mouth shut and stop pointing fingers. I bet my Boricua A** that if by chance and I doubt it very much you do know Ricky Martin you’re pissed and angry cause he FkED your mother, your daughters your nieces and your old grandmother. In fact he probabaly FKED you too and you liked it and can’t look in the mirror because you can’t accept yourself. So grow up accept your homosexuality, get out of the closet and hold your head UP. When people point fingers at others you DUMBLOWLIFE BORICUA WANNABE you are turning attention away from you. SO GET A LIFE, go find the man of your dreams and leave RICKY ALONE!!!!!!!! GET IT HOMO OR DO YOU WANT IT IN DONALD DUCK LANGUAGE??? A PROUD BORICUA DE LA ISLA

By reign360reign@aol.com on June 12th, 2007 at 7:04 pm

this article and whoever wrote it was misinformed. There were almost 300 arrests and I know this because I was one of them. I was arrested for Unlawful Assembly and Disorderly Conduct. I was walking with a friend to and will tell you with 100% honesty ,I was not doing ANYTHING wrong. There were a few people ahead of use shouting “Boricua!”, but of who wouldnt expect that at the PR Parade? An undercover police officer, just grabbed my arm, put those plastic zip cuffs on me and told me to sit down? After asking what I did wrong , he explained to me what I would be being charged with. I hadn’t even made it to the parade yet! This happened on 42nd and 7th. The cops were just posted up there and then just started grabbing people at random and I was lucky enough to be one of them.

Subsequently, I was held for over 25 hours and as of now (48 hours later), I was told I can not get my phone back until FRIDAY, becuase of the massive operation and property sorting. I plead not guitly and will be going to trial. I am definitely considering legal action so if anyone here knows of a good lawyer who may be interested, please let me know. Thanks.

By Batichica on June 23rd, 2007 at 4:17 pm

Well, this is the problem. There is a lots of latinos in NYC that are not Puerto Ricans. They come from Republican Dominican. These people are extremely poors, and they treat womens like shit. They still peoples identities and and they are starving to merry you to obtain their green cards and becomes US citizens. They don’t show respect for neighbors, they are loud’ and do not leave anything on your back yard, even your basketball will be “stollen”. In other words they are obnascious people. Their childrens runs free on the streets late at night disturbing the neighbors screeming loud and destroying private properties. Oh! they also are so getto washing their cars with their music so loud(getto) they don’t care if you don’t like their music, you must swallowed it like it or not.. Do not talk bad about my Puerto Rican People, we are Us citizens. Americans came to our Island and intervene with Spain, we never ask the Americans to free us as a Spain Colony. Read the history of my Island “Please” before you comment anything negative. And for the Republic Dominicans, please go back to your ancient Island of cruelty towards womens and childrens, thats why I admire Ricky Martin for his crusade againts childrens trafficking and sex slavery on childrens….

To Boricua4live and all my Boricua Brothers and Sisters here. Yes, we are not only smart but intelligent, we are strong, outspoken, humble and yet proud. We are pacifist but we are also fierce. We don’t give up easily and everyday we struggle to better ourselves more and more. What the haters here don’t understand or just don’t want to admit is that we Puerto Ricans are Americans. That we love being American and being Puerto Rican. That we are Americans citizens either if born on the Island or in the mainland. They hate us because once a long time ago, our ancesters that first migrigated here, worked meek jobs but work they did. Yes they did work as dishwashers, and hairdressers and they cleaned houses or worked in factories, but they chose to teach us NO they demanded from us the newer generations to go to school, to learn to speak English even with an accent. They taught us to assimilate to the American way. My father (rest in peace) taught my brothers and I, to love America to be proud that we were Americans and to defend our country and respect it. He also taught us the value and the privilages it was to be born American, but he always told us never to forget our roots and to learn and keep our Spanish language. He taught us to dance rock and roll, he encouraged us to learn all things American, but he also said we needed to know and love Puerto Rico. He was a proud Puerto Rican. Therefore he also taught us how to dance Salsa, Bomba y Plena, decimas and what a cuatro and a seis chorriao was. Yes we always had the traditinal Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, mash potatoes, stuffing and pumpkin pie, but on the table we combined our dinner with arroz con gandules, guineitos en escaveche, and some flan de coco. You see, what the haters don’t understand or don’t want to admit or just simply hate us for is because we have the best of both worlds! We have two beautiful flags for which will die for, two beautiful countries, two beautiful anthems two places to call home and the best part is that we show how proud we are. Most haters here like all other immigrants don’t speak the native tongue of their ancestors nor have they visited the land of their roots. I question if they even know the pollitical status of the lands/countries their ancesters came from or if they know what their ancestors flags look like. I’m pretty postive they don’t! So you see haters, you became American and you forgot nor never learned of the beauty or potential your of your roots. So stop hating and instead try learning a little about your roots. You may be surprised of all you’ve missed. I have a strong feeling that the grandparents, parents of the haters here had no pride from wherever they came from and thats why now their children go to know nothing but hating on others that take pride of their heritage like we Puerto Ricans aka Boricuas do. Quite frankly, I don’t give a damn where they came from, so long as I know where I came from and continue to be proud of both my heritages. So keep hating haters, it won’t hurt us one bit. We Boricuas are here to stay, and have educated ourselves and armed ourselves with knowledge and schooling. Now we don’t wash dishes, nor do we clean houses, or do hairdressings or work in factories (by saying this I’m in no way degrading anyone, work is honorable so long as its an honest/legal living) my point is that now we Boricuas have higher standing jobs, we are now Doctors,Lawyes,Politicians,Register Nurses,Paramedics,Reporters not to mention how many of us are in the arts. SO MY BORICUAS CONTINUE TO BE PROUD AND DON’T EVER LET A HATER SAYT YOU’RE NOTHING. THEY HAVE NOTHING!! THEY HAVE NO PRIDE, NO IDENTITY all they have is hatred, bigoted hearts and fear because we now have a VOICE and its a very LOUD VOICE, and because since we are as American as we are Puerto Rican we can do it all twice as better. Long Live America y que Vivia Puerto Rico!

To number 53 aka Puerto Rico sucks says:
First off I take great offense in the way you portray Puerto Ricans. I’m sorry that you’re so ignorant to even post your degrading and riduculous remarks in this forum. If I were you I would do my research on Puerto Ricans and then comment before putting your foot in your mouth like you just have. You say that you live in NYC., well you must be living in some ghetto where lots of latinos live and due to their illegal status in our country they claim to be Puerto Ricans, when in fact they are not. You also say that Puerto Rican woman are fat and that we like to show it all off. Well I’m sorry to be the one to burst your bubblehead but you are wrong again. Most if not all Puerto Rican women are beautiful with great to die for looking bodies and we have 5 Miss Universes to prove it we come in 2nd to USA with 7, and yes we like showing it off but not in the way you suggest we do. You also say that we are lazy and hang out on the street, make noise and live on welfare! How dare you ignorant racist to say these things and to generalize us Boricuas for a few bad apples!!! You didn’t mention your nationality or your ethical background, but I’m thinking that you are Italian since you mentinoned the festivities of when Italy won the world cup. Well listen here BUBBLEHEAD, though I have great respect and love Italians (I have Italians in my family through marriage) most Italians I know are good hardworking people, of high moral standards… however, should I then say that all Italian women reek of garlic and tomatoes sauce and wear a filthy apron when they answer the door, or that they don’t shave their legs or underarms? Should I say that all Italian men are bullies and/or mafiosos? Should I say that all Italians are racist pigs and that all Italians work in Pizza restaurants as a cover up for their drug dealing and making of cement shoes, should I say that all Italian young girls go around dressing like little hushy mamas at the malls and that most of them loose their virginity before they hit age 14? Should I also generalize and say that all Italian Catholic priest are pedophiles, who molest little boys at the altar? No bubblehead I won’t say that because I’m smarter than you will ever be and know that in all nationalities there are the good, the bad and the ugly. Yes there is one thing you are right about and that is that we are LOUD and PROUD! We are loud and make noise and people hear us. Too bad for you if you have to live in NYC where very proudly every year on the second Sunday of June we celebrate our roots, culture and heritage. Bubblehead have you ever been to your own Parade and seen how we Puerto Ricans salute you and cheer you on your day. Have you ever been to any of ours where a group of Italians also salute us and are not haters like you? My advise, and its a very good one is that you book a vacation getaway around the last week of May and come back 3 weeks later when we finish our partying. On second thought that wouldn’t work quite well either, because after the Biggest and Largest Parade by far in our nation that’s right bubblehead our nation, we then have the Brooklyn Puerto Rican Day Parade, the Bronx Puerto Rican day Parade, the Queens Puerto Rican day Parade, I’m not sure if Staten Island holds one and that pretty much covers NYC. Then Comes NJ. Mass.,Conn.,Chicago, Orlando and yes Bubblehead even in Hawaii. So Bubblehead if you have any brains at all and I quite frankly think you do, I suggest you try to assimilate to our ways which are not the way you’re portraying us to be. I also suggest that your take off that blindfold that has poisned you with bigotry,hatred,and has made you ridged and narrowminded. What a poor excuse for an Italian are you? Take a look in the mirror, smile bubblehead you’re probably not as ugly as you write.

lmao wow, i am puerto rican, and i find the parade to be the most ridiculous thing in the world, i think it is annoying and embarassing, it is a time for every dumb puerto rican to show up and act ridiculous, they wear the ugliest cheapest outfits and just disgust me, i usually see them on the day of the dreaded parade, and laugh at all of them for being so naive and tacky, worst of all they look at me like i’m crazy for not being in proper spandex and flags tied around my waist, well the parade is a waste of time, they should ban it, it pisses me off every year, and the funniest thing is you see about a million puerto ricans, and wonder “where the hell do they come from”, and before any of you ’super spicks’ come to battle my comment, just remember to spell everything right, because half of you can’t spell to save the puerto rican flag, anyway its not something to be proud of, and when people ask me what I am, I simply say American, fuck latin roots!

First of Junker, get your story straight, when 5 years ago the parade got a bad rap because some idiots decided to grope some girls… when all was done, said and investigated slimeball guess what??
They were’nt Puerto Ricans!!! While I hate to mention their nationalities I’ll tell you anyway so that you won’t continue to make a fool for yourself. Two (2) were Dominican and one was Colombian!!! While they did manage to give us a bad rap (for a few weeks) I know that most if not all Dominicans, Colombians, and Mexicans as well as most of Central and South Americans love Boricuas aka Puerto Ricans just as much as we love and embrace them. So Junkie, ahh excuse me Junker before you decide to post here beware!!! I’m watching/reading and TRUST ME I’m not a greaseball… I’m American born of Puerto Rican parents which by the way Junkie are born American citizens like it or not. So hater either you appologize or don’t even think about posting your racists remarks here.
Kati a proud NewYorrican who loves apple pie and arroz con dulce! Humm Junkie our next parade will be the second Sunday of June 2008 maybe you should try and have a lil fun and witness for yourself what a great and wonderful parade it is and why its also the BIGGEST AND LARGEST PARADE BY FAR RIGHT HERE IN THE MAINLAND!!!

You know, I don’t know why racist people state phrases with such anger. If you want someone to go back to their country or common wealth then why don’t we all go back, because what history shows us is that this country was taken away from the native Indians who inhabited this country, as a matter of fact if we want to get technical Amerigo vespucci, a Italian voyager, was the one who found America, that’s why it’s called America, so do your homework before you send someone back to their country and ask yourself if they should move or if you should move. See, I am a Puerto Rican American and the same way you feel that I should go back to Puerto Rico, you should go back to Ireland, Germany, Britain, France, Australia, Austria, Russia, etc. or whatever racist country your descendants come from. By the way everyone is proud of their culture and background; I have never met anyone who wasn’t.

By fy1 on November 13th, 2007 at 7:11 am

why do you puerto ricans always use theif your not nativeamerican then your a immigrant? lol

alot of you puerto ricans aint taino so maybe you should go back to europe too, spain!

this fucker said:.

^^^LOL YOU FORGOT MOTHER SPAIN, SPAIN IS A NOTORIOUSLY RACIST COUNTRY TOWARDS AFRICANS, AND OTHER KINDS OF BLACKS WHO MIGRATE THERE, THEFUTBOL COACH EVEN DISRESPECTED FRANCES FUTBOL PLAYER THEIRRY HENRY a black guy from france

so while you tell americans who are not native american to go back to europe then you leave america then go to puerto rico and when you get there take yo ass back to spain.

theguy that said puerto ricans dont know anything about pr is right, the french has influence in the island of pr!

theres puerto ricans not of african descent
theres puerto ricans thats asian and of pacific islander origin so to say that puerto ricans are a blend of taino, african and spanish is absolutely b.s

theres also a few puerto ricans with italian names on the pr national team

By Anon Imus on December 28th, 2007 at 4:59 am

yo, i aint racist but… you puerto ricans make a bad name for yourselves as far as im concerned. Im a black 16 year old female and for the short while of living in the virgin islands I have observed the puerto rican ethnic group so to speak and and their attitude and i say y’all dont need no parade. The way you portray yourselves is awful. Its always an I dont give a shit attitude. you know it’s really awful and im 16… Everytime i drive behind a puerto rican they are either throwing garbage out their driver’s window or driving really crappy or stopping in the middle of the road to make conversation with a pedestrian. and my neighbors….god dont let me start on them their always blasting their music in the middle of the night on their car system in the car that is parked in their yard or on their house speaker system and talkin so friggin loud i cant sleep sometimes, i go to school tired as hell and i aint no snitch so i aint gonna call the police on them. on top of that they tresspass my yard and pick all of the fruit off my tree all the good ripe ones at least and their kids have no respect they comerunning around in my yard even when Im taking a shower it’s really disturbing you know. and they always talk so loudly when they are on their fone i dont need to know who you were banging last night! Jeez i just become so overwhelmed when i review all the bull i have to go through with my neighbors. and as for the blasting music in their car on the road i dont think that should be an issue bcuz it is after all their car so if they want to enjoy their music let them. I have met some really nice puerto ricans though but these are the church kind. Maybe more of yall should go to church lol

When you talk about Puerto Rico why are you bringing up the flaws? when you should really look at the bright side of Puerto Rico. i find it really sad that while im trying to find a little info about my culture i come across hurtful things that these haters say. Puerto Rico may not have a true reason for having there parade but who cares. accpet the fact that your expirencing something new and fresh every year just to get a taste. The only thing im going to saw aboput that FuckP.R guy and the chick that says she cant sleep b.c we play our music to loud and when she drives behind a puerto rican they throw garbage out the window well news flash black people also play there music real loud and they treat every where they go like shit I should know because im half black and half puerto rican and if you did not know either Puerto Ricans come from black descent and black people are just as worse as any puerto rican cuz if you try to start something with a black person there only result is to start violence…so you should really find some facts b4 you start blaming one culture for everything because in a way we are all the same!

Because of some of the puerto ricans that I have met, I too held a few stereotypes against Puerto Ricans, particularly that I have met many who do not speak spanish. Maybe thats not a big deal, it is too me though, since I grew up in a household where embracing every aspect of our culture (American, Dominican and Greek) was paramount and that included learning english, spanish and greek. This is the way that I was brought up and am in no way saying that I am better than anyone else. That being said, throughout my adult years, I have met a few Puerto Ricans that regardless of them knowing spanish or not have totally gained my respect. I guess this served as a lesson. There are many of you here who have made stereotypical comments against Dominicans. I don’t get upset. I was one of you before, not anymore. There is no need for that, its disgusting and it truly sets one back. I can’t count how many times I stereotyped against the entire Puerto Rican ethnicity just because of a few stupid ones on the news. And as far as the parade, I do not like going to any not even the Dominican one, maybe the Greek one when I was younger(but that is just because my father has been taking me since i was a little girl, it is something that I am used too, so maybe it is why I consider it “safe”) but no parade is truly safe. I agree with someone who posted that its not about the ethnicity, its about how certain people at a parade act.

not all Puerto Ricans are the same and it is unfair to place them all in one category. There are good and bad everywhere, in every race and every country, lucky for me, I found a very good PR, and sexy too lol.
