xxboxx Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 no the real question is, if they love PR so much, why do they destroy the image of their culture. Instead of showing the world what history/culture they might have, they simply give the world reason to stereotype most PR's (which is wrong), but when events like the parade go down the way they do, how can you blame people when they laugh at it? So yeah, the original poster does have a point...celebrating WHAT CULTURE? youve been around for 50 something years..you havent contributed anything, and statistics show that on the day of the parade..violence and rape is up.

Most people are cool no matter who or what they are. Do you think they should do away with this parade altogether because of all the crime that goes on?

howienewport Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 perhaps if the NYPD banned alcohol along the parade route on Sunday like they do during the St Patricks Day parade, there would be fewer incidents of violence and arrests.Agreed, and the crack dealers would appreciate the boost in sales too.

shaggief Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Thank you very much for the Salsa history lesson deepspell! I'm grasping at straws here but what about 80's freestyle music?

moe03 Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 i really hope you are kidding Why would I be kidding? I've never really found parades purposeful anyway. You have to wonder about people who stand around and watch parades or the people who participate in them. Don't these people have anything better to do with their time?

mtmartin Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 What a min.....Puerto Rico was established in the 1940's. What have they done since? What have they ever done? On top of that....HOW CAN YOU HAVE A "RICH CULTURAL HISTORY" celebrated with a parade...when there is no history. Im confused....am i missing something?only 120 arrests this year....not too bad. lolgreat...... now tainos have only been around since the 1940's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
