MTV Stereotype ?

MTV's "True Life: I'm a Nuyorican" which first aired on January 25, 2009 has all the makings of the usual negative stereotypes of a Nuyorican. Again, only the negative, now...where are the positive stories? Where is the balance?

As Erasmo Guerra reports in the NY Daily News: .....MTV's 'I'm a Nuyorican' not getting El Barrio love. Well, this Boricua isn't giving it any love. You can sign the online petition here for Nuyoricans Against MTV’s True Life.

Added Links

I have added US-PuertoRicans.org and VirtualBoricua.org to my links of interest. I found them both to be very informative and helpful websites. From community events to politics to poetry to history to everything Puerto Rican, you want to know then it's all there.

Don't just call yourself a Boricua because that's what you were always told you were, learn its meaning. Siempre palante, Mi Gente!!

Enjoy this excellent video feuturing Mariposa reciting her poem "Ode to the Diasporican"
