I know people like to say HYON to hispanics because of how they are indifferent to the African experience and its causes. And I get it. Truly I do. But as a human being reading about this is just and at the US Gov't for allowing this type of mistreatment to occur and continue. They are truly trying to run as many Puerto Ricans out of there so they can turn it into some tax-haven, libertarian paradise. This has to be the worst form and most extensive effort of gentrification the US has ever witnessed.

Time for us Africans to get a true game plan together and in terms of creation, building, and sustaining ourselves. Depending on the knowledge and infrastructure of others is not gonna work much longer.
