2012's Celebration Of Puerto Rican Heritage In New York City's Fifth Avenue. Puerto Ricans, Nuyoricans, Boricuas And Others Came Out To Enjoy The Festivities.
I love Puerto Rican ppl they raised me I was adopted by a beautiful family that treated me like I was family never introduced me as their adopted daughter but Their Daughter Gracias Mi Gente por todo
Yea but people from the island is a completely different culture than those who have assimilated to the American culture. Not really assimilated, but carved out a completely new culture. This cannot be denied. Two different life experiences. That's goes for any culture that has put their roots into the mainland, people in the old country are just different. Italian, Irish, Chinese, even "white". Look how different white Americans are from their old country, the UK. It's just the way it is. It's a new people. America will slice you open and drain the old country right out of you.
People in the USA are weird about nationality. Thse guys insist on calling themselves a nationality just because someone in their family came from a certain country. Puerto Ricans are from PR, so called "Nuyorkicans" are American, plain & simple.
Aleja Algarin You for got that us P.R. alsp have negro from africa also in our blood. Meaning that someone in your ancestry had sexual intercourse with a Spaniard or a Taino or both mixed to have made you of a mix of three races...African, Spaniard and Taino Indian. So what's the difference from then to now? None at all...so talk a hard look at yourself. Also go reread what makes us Puerto Rican and stop sounding ignorant. You are an embarrassment to us us fello Puerto Ricans.
Evelyn...stop with your afro-centric BS...NOT ALL PUERTO RICANS are the same...Are all Americans the same? Are all Canadians the same? Here are a couple of my distant family from Puerto Rico, but you will never hear about them in the US or on YT because they are NOT imitation black ghetto-bangers high-5-in, booty-bumpin' or yo wassuppin'. THESE ARE REAL PUERTO RICANS: 1. Estevan Antonio Fuertes...(he FOUNDED Cornell University’s College of Engineering in the 1800s) ***en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estevan_Antonio_Fuertes ***www.everipedia.com/Estevan_Antonio_Fuertes/ ***www.it1me.com/learn?s=Estevan_Fuertes ***coursewiki.astro.cornell.edu/Fuertes/EstevanFuertes His son... 2. Louis Agassiz Fuertes...(world-renown ornithological artist equal to John J. Audubon) ***en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Agassiz_Fuertes ***rmc.library.cornell.edu/Birds/ ***www.pbs.org/harriman/1899/1899_part/participantfuertes.html ***rmc.library.cornell.edu/Fuertes2000/fuertes.asp.html
Evelyn Spendlove Not really true. As a Puerto Rican my DNA test results came out as I expected. Majority Iberian Spanish with minimal admixture of African and native. I take admiration of my Taino admixture but let’s face it my 16% is not significant nor is my 9% black when practically 70% of my makeup is European.
Greg Medina Thank you for that info. It’s very hard to find PRicans with your points of view in a nationality that has been so brainwashed into Afrocentrism. The Jim Crow mindset of race identification has destroyed many stateside folks of PRican decent that choose to keep company with Aframs. Aframs have dictated to Boricuas that race is more important than culture.
@@YUCAYEQUE i'm Puerto Rican my DNA results came back 10% Native American 5% black and the rest European. I'm tired of people and especially other Puerto Ricans in america telling me that Puerto Ricans are black. I look like your average white girl I was born with blonde hair and green eyes. I just look spaniard.
I'm reading so many disrespectful comments here. This is supposed to be a celebration of our Puerto Rican heritage, our culture, not a dog fight to see who could spit out the nastiest most offensive comment. Whatever you are, however you feel, celebrate it with pride and let each person do the same. No need to be disrespectful, show you have class and show you're an educated person. Let us never forget education has absolutely nothing to do with school. Education is what your elders teach you at home before going to school. How you carry yourself as a person, how you treat others. That's what education really is. You can have 10 master degrees from the best colleges anywhere in the world and still be uneducated. By the same token you could be an illiterate, a person who never learned how to read and write bc never had the opportunity to go to school like my father for instance and still be very educated. My father grew up at a time in which hardly 30% of the population in Puerto Rico was able to go to school so he was part of the vast majority that didn't and yet my grandparents instilled in him the need to be respectful of others. Yo soy boricua pa que tu lo sepas.
Nuyoticans have a different vibe from Puerto Rican’s Mostly Nuyoricans say there no difference when there are noticeable language, cultural, vibe differences.
The parade is officially Puerto Rican but they allow participation by other people who wish to contribute to the spectacle. As a Puerto Rican, I marched in one in Newark NJ back in the 1960's as a member of a rock band.
I'm Nuyorican from the Bronx baby Tremont ave. i don't speak fluent Spanish, only English everyone is welcome to the P.R. parade don't need to be P.R. just come and enjoy the great time together, peace to all.
As an Afro Nuyorican now living in Washington, DC., I am very proud of my Puerto Rican heritage. However, Puerto Ricans on the island always reminded me during the visits to the island, I am a Nuyorican because I speak Spanglish. 😀 😃 😄 😁 Let me also say, when I was at Georgetown University in the mid 80's, the Puerto Rican students from the island were white and wealthy. Some were racist looking down on Afro Boricuas and Nuyoricans. Santurce and Carolina all day and everyday.
Now afro nuyorican, seriously? It's like your regurgitating the same BS that black Americans do they refer to himself as black American rather than seeing that their American. Why can you just say that you are nuyorican? You don't see other people of Puerto Rican descent sang I am a white Puerto Rican, I am a Taino Puerto Rican, or mixed race Puerto Ricans. You so-called afro descendants really make me sick sometimes, cuz whenever you add a-to your nationality or ethnicity you are no longer fully part of that ethnicity or culture because you added something else to the culture that was not there.
Hello, I'm a Polish student and with my friends we're doing a project about Nuyoricans, Could we possibly use your video (not all, just a part from it)? I would be very grateful if you agree ;)
+Natalia Inoch +Natalia Inoch Hi Natalia. This video is copywritten so you'll have to email me at eyetellmedia@gmail with more information on your video. Like, what is your video or documentary about, is it for commercial use, for a school project and what parts of the video are you interested? Thank you, Otto
0:57 - I'm sure we can look at those outstanding youngsters and see utmost class and elegance. How much derelict trash can you put in a video... this shows you.
RaiderinNY...no kidding...the represent Puerto Rico as much as Pizza Hut represent Italy and McDonalds represents Scotland...this is just one more garbage Nuyorican trash video further DEGRADING the world's view of REAL Puerto Ricans who DO NOT identify with this garbage. They are a joke: ...jumping through hoops of fire ...wearing Apache War Paint on their faces ...screaming Navajo War Cries and... ...doing Hopi Rain Dances ...while wearing faux-suede "taparrabos" (loin cloths) with MADE-IN-KOREA labels Nuyoricans are the only ethnic group to come to the US that actually went BACKWARDS and DOWNWARD...they are an embarrassment to REAL Puerto Ricans on the Island...OMG!!!
Now excuse me, a Sicilian. Italian, French, Dutch, English, scotch Irish, Native American, Viking mother and wife of a gorgeous Puerto Rican and our melting pot kids, while I get ready to eat me some sancocho!
Muy Boricuas pero la nueva generacion ni español hablan; se dejaron agringar y podran tener un banco de sangre boricua pero la patria no se lleva en las venas; se lleva en el ejemplo y dejaron de serlo no cuando salieron o ni nacieron en Puerto Rico; sino cuando Puerto Rico salió de ellos o nunca en ellos ha nacido dicha patria.
te doy la razon en parte. me cuenta mi mama que cuando era mas joven yo decia "soy americana" y lo interesante es que desde hace un par de anos deje de pensar asi. cuando me pregunta la gente yo siempre respondo diciendo que soy Puertorriquena de NYC. yo si tengo plan de ir a vivir en la isla. saludos.
Muy cierto. Y yo personalmente observe el inicio de ese cambio. Note como de facil se empesaron a dejarse convencer por personas de una otra cultura acerca de su propia identidad. Pero nunca me imagine en esos momentos, que esa tendencia hiba a llegar a lo que ha llegado.
I'm sorry but all attraction towards beautiful nuyorican women goes down the drain once you hear their manly voice, new york accent, and slang. Ill stick to PR Women from the Island or ones born and raised in Florida.
Their behavioral mannerisms convey the very strong impression that they are far prouder of identifying with African American culture than they are of identifying with Island culture despite all the garish supposedly pro Puerto Rican hoopla they display at these parades.
Aibonito? I spent some time there visiting my aunt. Loved the high altitude weather. It even gets chilly during winter seasons up there and you need to bundle up a little. Love how you can almost reach up and touch a cloud.
I'm from Louisiana. And yes I love me some Puerto Ricans. I'M currently talking to a Nuyorican and oh yes indeed I will make him mine. Now boo if your reading this on your timeline you know who you are. Shout out to my papi. #FromNOLAtoNYC😉😘
Well, I'm Puerto Rican & of course from Brooklyn NY, so I'm a NewYoRican. Let me know if you think I'm so fine by clicking on my RU-vid page!? Hahaha Thank you for the love!
Gracias a esos cafres muchos piensan que somos iguales. Los famosos New Yoricans se han encargado de darle mala fama al resto de los puertorriqueños. Con excepción de unos cuantos que si han puesto el nombre de Puerto Rico en alto como la jueza Sonia Sotomayor.
I feel like nuyoricans try to standardize our foods and culture. One nuyorican said pasteles don’t include raisins. All the sudden they try tell us in Puerto Rico, we shouldn’t eat pasteles w raisins because it’s not the standard. Se vayan al carajo.
@@eddiesaninocencio6635 so wait? you do not consider yourself Puerto Rican? I ask because your comment reads as if to say your heritage is not from Boriken...or are you saying that because you're from the Bronx, then you more align yourself with gringo culture & gringo americanos? ouch !!!
joeblowmha That's not what I heard here in the states. It has been informed that a large percentage of Puerto Ricans of P.R. want to be the 51st state of the United States. And that is what the ballot shows. Now its up to Congress to decide if they want to do this. They also informed all those that like in America...that Puerto Rico is anxious to know if they will be allowed to be a part of the United States Of America. As they know P.R. is going bankrupt and fast. Just fyi. Good luck my people and may God Bless Puerto Rico as everything happens for a reason.
Joe...they already have it...the Bronx and J-Low's ass is the president of it. Reality is that MOST of us want US Statehood. We have served in WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War and Iraqi Wars and have paid in blood for the right to be FINALLY a state. Think about this...Puerto Rico is a "commonwealth" of the US, just like Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia, but they are States and even since 1898 when the US stole us from Spain, we are STILL NOT A STATE. Does that seem right?
Our DNA is a mix of many things , so just because you are born on the island doesn't make you more Puerto Rican than the next , my roots go all the way back to the slaves of Puerto Rico, but I dont hold on to the European language SPANISH and say because I dont speak Spanish I'm less latino. I'm 100000% Puerto Rican NUYORICAN / BROOKLYN RICAN all day and forever
Well what makes a Puerto Rican its the blood and the culture and many US ricans haven’t experienced or know the Puerto Rican culture as Puerto Rican’s de Puerto Rico sabes de lo que hablo papo?
snowflurriez28...This is typical YT nonsense...morons with a video camera talking shit as usual...they get their information about Puerto Rico from the Taco Bell drive-up window menu...
Yo soy nacido, criado y residente de Puerto Rico. Y a mí tampoco me representan los cafres. No sé si es una cuestión racial, pero ni la Salsa ni el Reggaetón, ni el tipo de ridiculeces que se ven en el vídeo me representan. Me siento identificado con La Secta All Star, Fiel a la Vega, Chayanne o Kanny García. Me identifican mis raíces europeas y españolas. Toda esa 💩 de tambores tribales y marginales meneando el fondillo es algo con lo que no encajo. Puerto Rico no son solo mestizos, peleas de gallos y vulgaridad. Puerto Rico es multicultural aunque los medios de comunicación traten de asfixiar todo lo que no sea "calle".
@@Los_Chanchulleros Me imagino que la mayor parte de los Boricuas en la isla les enfada todo eso. Aun algunos que estan aqui en los estados unidos no nos identificamos con esa cultura que se despliega en ese video.
Ivan...I am born and raised in Puerto Rico and have lived in the US for MANY years and because my family is white (Basque, Corsican, Canary Islander, Irish, French and German), we were told by Nuyoricans that we were not "really" Puerto Ricans. This is what happens when idiot ricans have allowed themselves to be shamed out of their undeniable European background in the black ghettos....just look at them...with the asses hanging out of their pants and pieces of OUR flag as a "trapo" on their greasy heads...un GRAN BOCHORNO....like my Corsican grandfather used to say.... "mi'jo cuando el hombre pierde la verguenza, no hay NADIE que se la devuela" Ghetto-ricans are completely identity-raped, culturally-hi-jacked and history-robbed...they think that the Bronx is the capitol of Puerto Rico and J-Low's ass is the mayor of San Juan. When I would encounter Nuyoricans bragging about being black (but the "just look white"), I would remind them of the following: * EUROPEAN language legacy (Spanish & English) ...(no one speaks Taino Talk or Zulu or Chupacabra-speak) * EUROPEAN legal matrix ...(Napoleonic legal tradition, like in Louisiana, USA and in France) * EUROPEAN marriage tradition of consent ...(no trading of child virgins for cheetah skins or elephant tusks) * EUROPEAN marriage dissolution ...(divorce, not stoning ex-wife to death or feeding her to lions) * EUROPEAN city design ...(all 77 towns designed around central Mediterranean plaza built by Europeans) * EUROPEAN entrepreneurial tradition ...(no trading of shrunken heads or bone necklaces for bananas) * EUROPEAN inheritance tradition ...(upon death, property goes to family, NOT to invading warriors) * EUROPEAN tradition of vestiture (clothing) ...(no one wears loin cloths or grass-skirts or turbans or tribal head-dress) * EUROPEAN banking tradition ...(amassing currency, no trading Indian beads like Manhattan Island was centuries ago) * EUROPEAN mercantile trading tradition with hard currency in exchange ...(no trading Cheetah skins for mangos or wooden beads) * EUROPEAN tradition of housing ...(no one lives in caves or huts or trees) *EUROPEAN architectural tradition ...(no one lives stone or coconut huts) ***EUROPEAN primo-geniture sibling order observation ...(oldest son inherits estate followed by next son and so on...) ***EUROPEAN tradition of recording history in empirical collections ...(no one is scratchin history on cave walls or trees or pieces of animal skin) ***EUROPEAN tradition of journalism and news dissemination ...(no one is screaming from mountain tops, yodeling or beating war drums) European traditions DO exist in Puerto Rico, you just have to get past the coconut shell, Hula-Hula dancing "Porto-Rican" dolls at the airport gift shop and the Black-faced Grass-skirted dolls sold in the tacky gift-shops at the Marriott hotels.
im glad you feel that way about us new yoricans we feel the same about you guys. lazy dirty island. we are more educated we are doctors attorneys athletes and musicians what about you ?
Both nuyorican and Puerto Ricans are a mix of Spanish,Native taino indians they have no african ancestry,Thats why Cuban,Brazilian and Dominican women have better bodies
I lived in Miami back in the 1970's and all I saw were white Cubans. Thought they were Anglo Americans and spoke to them in English. Only when they replied in Spanish did I realize my mistake.
What I'd experience in Puerto Rico, is that most Puerto Ricans, from the island don't consider New Yoricans, as Puerto Ricans. They feel we are too Americanized, even though they themselves are ruled by the United States.
