How the U.S. silenced calls for Puerto Rico's independence

It makes me so proud to see a young person like Bianca providing accurate information about Puerto Rico, it’s history and what is happening today.

My grandfather tells a story about how owning a Puerto Rican flag, picture, sculpture, etc was taken as a symbol of being a part of the independence movement and you would be arrested. His friend carved him the Puerto Rican flag out of wood and my grandfather hid it inside his pillow. Years later, he painted multiple flags on the walls of the house he built. He speaks on how he was terrified of being drafted. I never realized the possibility that he himself probably really wants Puerto Rico to be "una nacion libre " and sovereign. Thank you for this video.

¡Qué Viva Puerto Rico 🇵🇷! ¡Qué Viva Gran Hispanidad! ¡Saludos desde Nuevo México! ⚔️🇪🇸🇲🇽🇺🇲⚔️

Thank you to open the eyes of people that call us beggars of the USA. We paid a high price during our history, and is nothing wrong to asked for Justice and fairness. Thank you, Bianca! Un yauco ausente!

Netflix needs to give you a deal, your content is very very well produced!!

Thank you for the truth that some many boricuas need to know.

Thanks for your work! An important detail that is rarely discussed is that not all independence supporters vote in elections because they believe it is only playing the game of the colony. Therefore, the percentage of votes the pro- independence party gets is not an accurate representation of support for independence. I would say that supporters of independence are much more than what people tend to think. It's a very complex issue that goes beyond political parties.

If the US is trying this hard to snuff out the Puerto Rican independence movement, that tells me almost everything I need to know…

A gringo told me that Puertoricans begged the U.S for citizenship, and of course I knew that is a waste of time trying to explain it since they don’t even know there history , let alone Geopolitics, when I clarified to him that Puertoricans were given citizenship to go to WW1, then he try to deflect asking why Puertoricans did not want Independence, I burst his bubble when I mention to him that Puertoricans were the only U.S citizens in history to be bombed by the U.S military because of a small pocket of people who wanted independence , he kind of left with his tail between his leg and left.

Honestly Puerto Ricans do deserve to have the freedom they do deserve to be independent it is their country and they should be able to have their country back as independent as it should have been always in the first place

Thank you for doing so much for our people!!🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

I’m so proud to be a Puerto Rican after hearing this 🇵🇷👍🏾🇵🇷

Awesome job, Puerto Ricans need more like you to talk truth to everyone on the Island and those in the USA. I’m not Puerto Rican, but I have a Puerto Rican wife, we have a house and land on the East Coast, every seed I put my hands on is planted in the soil of 1.5Acres. I’ve been around and seen a lot, and yes, I missed the days of the hustle and bustle at the Plaza Mercado, where everything is home grown, fresh chicken, pork, and beef from the farms. Like I said, I’m not Puerto Rican, but it hurts to see what Walmart and others(Federal Govt) have turned the people into, dependency, a card to buy food from Walmart at ridiculous prices. All the best to you as you educate Puerto Ricans.

Excellent again!!! Great documentation of historical events. This is not about politics, this is about our history and you have captured the essence of this movement in less than 20 minutes. I would've like to see the topic of taxes discussed a bit further. Someone not familiar with our government and the relationship with the USA might get the impression that all we do is benefit economically from federal money without knowing all the taxes and limitations imposed on our exports and imports.Tremendo trabajo.

You Bianca, are an extremely brilliant and effective communicator. Excellent format and content. Your narration is clear and well paced, not too fast. Your voice is projected in a comforting way. Your inner spirit enhances your physical beauty. Peace & Love 💕🌸

Great work! I wrote my college thesis on La Masacre de Ponce!

I totally agree with you and appreciate your videos, they are some of the most informative ones that I have seen. I was born in PR and grew up in NY..I recently went to PR for 5 months and got well acquainted with the struggles of everyday life and the lack of information given to the locals re the status issue that AOC, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Congress woman from NY, has brought to the forefront of the political conversation. It is my goal to start a Bernie-Like movement and get all PRs to wake up and smell the roses. We need to speak with one voice only and stop the divisive bickering that keeps us stuck in the same old thing; Estado Libre Asociado, which is neither libre or asociado. According to the UN (United Nations) PR is a commonwealth, however, PR does not fit the definition of commonwealth: the dictionary defines a commonwealth as an agreement made by two sovereign nations for the equal benefit of both countries. I submit the idea that PR must fight for sovereignty and then become a true commonwealth of the US by choice.

Thank you so much for all you do to educate your people ... priceless❤❤

Hi Bianca. Thank you for your channel. Somebody have to talk for the ones that don't have a voice.🙏🙏🇵🇷
