amc11890 Posted July 11, 2006 CID Share Posted July 11, 2006 Im puerto rican and white and i have to agree that the star spangled banner should be in english and only english. Americans native language is english not spanish. Like a lot of people said Americans are too scared of being called a racist to do anything about this. Dont get me wrong i am proud of my puerto rican heritage and also my american heritage but please the star spangled banner does not need to be sung in spanish. To be honest i dont know anything about puerto rico all i kno is that i am half puerto rican but i wasnt born there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabolikk Posted July 11, 2006 CID Share Posted July 11, 2006 Welcome to the forum dabolikk. :wave:First off it is illegal immigration.And there is no fear, we just wish they would join by the rules. Definitions of Xenophobia fear or dislike of strangers or the unknown, often used to describe nationalistic political beliefs and movements www.blifaloo.com/info/phobias.php So you have read the thread about PR ? http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=13773.0 What is your national language anyway? Where are you not welcome? I hope not here! Even if they join by the rules and follow them, they will still be overlooked and seen like an inmigrant who is trying to steal the jobs of US Citizens. In addition to not speak the same language and being from a different culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki123 Posted July 11, 2006 CID Share Posted July 11, 2006 meh, Puertoricans tienen unos COJONES, if it wasnt for the US, PR would be worse than Dominican Republic, and now they pull this load of bull? I was born in Florida, US and I was raised in PR,(why, I dunno) and I dont see how this place would survive without foreign help, im getting out of this place and I hope it rots.

tommie gorman Posted July 11, 2006 CID Share Posted July 11, 2006 Even if they join by the rules and follow them, they will still be overlooked and seen like an inmigrant who is trying to steal the jobs of US Citizens. In addition to not speak the same language and being from a different culture. Much the way my imigrant forefathers had to deal with. I am of irish decent. We were not necesarily liked that well either. http://www.kinsella.org/history/histira.htm http://www2.ops.org/NORTH/curriculum/socstudies/EthnicB2/past/Irish.htm The living conditions, in which these newcomers landed, were dismal at best. Though the Irish were well accustomed to living in harsh circumstances, the slums of New York were so revolting that according to one account, a young policeman compared a neighborhood in lower Manhattan to hell. His partner replied, "Hell's a mild climate. This is Hell's Kitchen," and the name stuck. http://www.ailf.org/ipc/policy_reports_2001_Irish2.asp Anyway, is it any worse now? Or maybe a little better?

cholla Posted July 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 12, 2006 tommie gorman ;I have a story to tell about the Irish & since I have some Irish in my gene pool I feel at liberty to tell the story. This was in the time when we still had slavery in the USA.There was a black slave & an Irishman unloadinf freight on a river .This was a swift part of the river & ocassionally a dock worker would fall or get caught by the current & drown.The slave owner saw that the slave was at the lower end of the loading & in greater danger.He said to the boat captain put the Irishman in the dangerous place He can be replaced for a dime a dozen the slave is worth money.Sort of shows the status of an Irishman in that time in the USA.

CA3LE Posted July 12, 2006 CID Share Posted July 12, 2006 My friend Alex who just stopped by peeked over my shoulder and just saw me reading this thread and he said "The Star Spangled Banner en Espanol?" (he's Mexican by the way) "They'll have to rename it 'The Star Spangled Beaner'" -- then he sang "Jose, can joo see....." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted July 12, 2006 CID Share Posted July 12, 2006 Kind of funny when you put it that way. "Jose, can joo see....." Maybe have him finish the lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
