Karens: go back to your country Puerto Rico: but I'm your colony

I am puerto rican, I've seen this all and my great grandparents told me about it too, its unbearably true

It brings a tear to my eye how truthful this is and how barely any Americans know of the harm is being done here.

America, who fought because we weren’t getting any representation in Great Britain is now doing the same to Puerto Rico. The hypocrisy in this country is overwhelming.

There is no war in “ba sing se”

As a Puerto Rican myself and someone who currently lives here this is all true unfortunately and it's just getting worse from here out which is heartbreaking

As someone who's lived her almost her whole life in puerto rico...can confirm this is all true and it still is true...just keeps getting worse.

Your stuff is always so intense that after a show of barely two minutes I have to stop and breathe for a while. Everything you do is so deadly on point. That's amazing.

Oh my god, just discovered this channel and I am so in love with it,

I am puerto rican an this is the most hilarious and accurate ad ever😂😂 🇵🇷🇵🇷

Now we know the truth!

I'm Puerto Rican I love this island This video is so accurate it hurts

ah yes because nothing says democracy like government and corporations milking out of your own territory

As a Puerto Rican, this is 100% accurate. Only thing missing is showing how shit our local government is!

As a puertorican and citizen of this land, I can say this video is very true and hilarious 😂

I feel bad. I just visited Puerto Rico in June 2022 and couldn't work out why it felt the way it did. I did basic research on birth rates etc because I saw so few kids, teenagers and young families. This video has opened my eyes some more and educated me. Thank you!

USA: Tu casa es mi casa Puerto Rico: There’s a hurricane coming! USA: You’re on your own....

Wait, I need that Spainish version of the Team America theme

I absolutely love how there's plenty of Puerto Rican slang throughout this. Very pleasantly funny surprise

Fun fact: 48% of Americans don't know Puerto Rico is part of the United States

The USA: *gets away with shady colonization and neo-colonization by winning world wars and maintaining military might* The British Empire: "That's my son!" Edit: This warning might be obvious, but beware of the replies. Political discussions ahead! Also, by making this *joke,* I am in *NO* way saying: A.) That the USA and the British Empire are the only ones in the world that ever invaded and conquered other countries and formed colonies/neo-colonies B.) That I hate white people or that white people are evil C.) That I do not have concern for recent assimilation and invasion of other countries Thanks, and may these political discussions be civil.

This channel is gold

Never was it mentioned how many times the statehood vote has come about

As a Puerto Rican this is funny af 🇵🇷🤣

I did visit Puerto Rico in 2014, had a wonderful time but the poverty was appalling. I didn't know about the horribly abusive laws like the Jones Act and I wish we could repeal it and get Puerto Rico back on it's feet. They deserve so much better.

The American Irony : --> spends Billions in the name of war for "freedom of oppressed" --> Brutally crush independence movement at home

I just sent this to my Social Studies teacher. We're currently on our North and South America unit.

I can't believe this channel only just came up for me.. pure gold.. keep up the good work!

i like how despacito is blasting in the back of this shit

I mean territory

Everyone: TaIwAn Is NoT cHiNa!!1!1! USA: *quietly slips away with a bunch of places that aren't theirs in the first place*

USA: colonizes Puerto Rico Britain: “That’s my son”

whoever's behind these videos...they're waging a war on injustice..and i love it.

If history was taught this way in schools a) kids would pay attention, and b) they would remember it.

After Yo yo Honey Singh Song... Who is Coming here 😂

Thanks for all these information! You guys had done a great job. I have no idea this is the truth for Puerto Rico. I feel sad for Puerto Rican. Also thanks for the Hawaii video, another eye opening history lesson. Thanks for every precise, informative and short videos. 😊😊😊 Last and not least, I love those smooth and calm swearing. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

As an American, if Puerto Rico wants independence, I support that. If Puerto Ricans want PR to become a US state, I support that as well.

They teach us about the whole colonizing period in PR since 5th grade and every year they give us a little more insight on how it has affected us both economically and culturally

Honey pajji anne wale hai.... Jashan manaoo 😂❤

It hurts how accurate this is, goddamn. I'm glad they left out La Comay and La Vampy de Lajas tho!

When I was a kid I actually thought Puerto Rico was an independent country

its funny because its true....😢

Love the Jone Acts. I still remember like 10 years ago , we asked permission to the USA to buy Gasoline from Venezuela because was cheaper than buying from USA and our petition got denied . The Jone act Law should be abolished, how come we can only buy everything from the USA and can not buy from other countries ???? Also when the hurricane Maria a lot of food came from other countries in big cargo ships and they have to wait on the ocean for two weeks to be able to obtain permission from USA to get into the Puerto Rico waters. A lot of the food that they brought got spoiled . How come it took two weeks for USA approve those cargo ships provide their help to Puertorricans? We do pay taxes as any good USA citizendoes . In our case about 70% percent of our paid taxes is kept buy the USA government and we get 30% back to run the island. In Puerto Rico USA stores manufacturing and pharmaceutical companies they don't have to pay taxes to the government because they are providing work opportunities to the Puertorricans . Hahaha! Minimum wage was recently increase $8.50 p/hr despite that it was suggested buy USA fiscal group to be reduce to $4.75 per hour. Now on 2021 in Puerto Rico a gallon of milk cost $6.50 Puertorricans have to work almost an hour to be able to buy a Gallon of milk for their families. Is not just the milk that cost more expensive in the island, is evey single food item, clothes, cars , etc. Puertorricans pay more than of that they will at For all these reason they're more Puertorricans living in the USA and other countries than inside the island.

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!

I am from Puerto Rico and I can guarantee this is 100% true!! To add: they also attempted to eliminate Spanish and replace it with English (it failed, but then succeeded enough to become our official second language), made beautiful tourism areas too expensive for most locals but so big that it is usually the only thing foreigners-on-vacation get to see, and they almost privatized the beaches; they are currently technically public but difficult to access. They also ruined all chances of alliances/relationships with Cuba.

Hola amigos. After the Visit Hawai' i video, SO many Boricuas asked us to make one about the current situation in Puerto Rico; I've never received so many requests for a video - so we just had to do it! I was fortunate to be able to chat and consult with a dozen of them over the past month, men and women of various ages... and whilst they had different views on statehood vs independence, they all agreed on one thing: that Puerto Rico is a US colony. That's why I decided to focus on this (rather than weigh in on the subject of political status, which is for Boricuas to decide) Thanks to all who took time to share their passion and teach me about their beautiful island (which I really hope to visit in person one day), and who gave me feedback on drafts of the video. Any errors and omissions are of course my own. In fact, there are lots of omissions; there's just only so much I could fit in to 2 minutes. But I hope you enjoy.

Thank you Juice Media

How did I miss this? This is great!

The U.S. Virgin Islands desperately needs a video like this!

Is it just me or would a full version of "ESPAÑA, fuck yeah!" be awesome

Thank you for educating me on this

I needed this in my life so bad!

As someone who lives in the states, it is so sad that this was never brought up in school. I was never taught anything about Puerto Rico and the current situation that they are in. I want Puerto Rico to be treated with respect and dignity because that's what they deserve. I hope to see more discussion on this sometime. And I am also sad that I am only seeing this now because I could have become more educated of different areas in the world that are not as privileged as me. And I am ashamed that I didn't know about this before and still don't know much. I will bring this topic up in a situation where I know it will help and try to educate others on the political climate surrounding this issue. Because I know if people know about this issue and how much it affects the people living there and how much it affects the people in the states, I am sure that it will become something that is not taboo. I am sad that people only care when it affects them, but that is how it is. And if we show people that this is something that affects them and the surrounding people, maybe they will listen. And then, we can help others in need. Also, I don't know why I wrote an essay on this in the comment section but, I am an ambitious person, so I hope that someone sees this comment, and it changes their view on this before undiscussed topic. Or, it could have been right in front of my face this time, but at least I know now. So, good luck Puerto Rico. And again sorry for this super long comment no one asked for.

her smile is legendary.

I accidentally found this channel. What a show. Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 ❤️

I thank you so much for your incredible marvelous intellectual pershe ya :)

Puerto Rico - another example of American Democracy!

I live next door in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and I approve of this message.

Great channel! Great views! 👌✌

I love this channel! It points out ugly truths but in a humorous way. Keep 'em coming!

aren't these the same guys who say free Hong Kong?

I hate true this is. And how everything has gone down here. But I still love my island in the Caribbean. Boricua orgulloso siempre. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

wow, this is the channel I never knew existed but am glad I found 5 years later...

@ thejuicemedia your videos make me cry.... good job

She forgot to say that, according to former governor, Alejandro Garcia Padilla, 50% of the cocaine sold in the USA pass through the island.

This video made me so sad because it's all true and it makes me so MAD that little people know the true story of my country. Te amo Puerto Rico :c

I lived in Mayaguez in the 60's. A fabulous island, fabulous people and, at that distant moment, virtually ignored by the Gringos. I have since lived very happily for 50 years in Mexico.¡ and have been fortunate enough to have been given Mexican citizenship.

I want my Puerto Rico to be free. I don't really like the idea of joining the States as im aware they're not and have never been worried about us, neither have they seen us as equals. Free Puerto Rico now

As a PuertoRican, this is accurate

Your should see what happened to the Philippines, which might have been on the same boat, except the US decided to burn Manila (the capital) to the ground during WWII (we were allies), then abandoned it when it was no longer useful. Sadly, people’s response I say that we were the US’s first colony, most say, ‘Wait, they had colonies?!’

Brilliant. Thank you for opening our eyes

Mother: Don’t damage other people’s toys if you wouldn’t do it to your own toys! The U.S.: *...*

hope to see Haiti next....

Omg... Fecking spot on... I second the love!!! What an awesome channel... Truth with humour!!! Love love love!!!!

Great explanation!

0:21 laughed so hard at that part

As a Puerto Rican I'd be amazing if you did a part 2 after the hurricane situation and shitty government

This really makes me want to visit Puerto Rico!

Wonderful, thanks

US: no taxation without representation! Puerto Rico: am i a joke to you?

Saludos desde Puerto Rico. Thanks for the video ! Also to this Colonial experience let's add we are all kind of mentally drained from all these wars. I bet folks in the States think the same.

omg i love this channel

Subscribed!!

“Taxation without representation”

ESPAÑA !! f*ck yeah !!! You got me there 😂😂😂😂😂

Your "commercial" spots are great. Hawaii, too! :)

Wow. I really had to learn history from here. And its so much better.
