Wow!!!

This video is ridiculous. It is Jerry Lawler, a former pro wrestler, tearing apart Puerto Ricans. I can't believe his opinions, however exaggerated, are so blatantly anti-Puerto Rico. He illustrates the opinion white Americans had of Puerto Ricans in the 1970's. And just like Sanchez writes about in Boricua Power the Puerto Ricans are thought of as less than American and worthless. 

After losing their economic worth as the industrial seen moved to a more mechanized form, Puerto Ricans began to be viewed as an uneducated burden on American Society. For a tv station to feel like it is okay to show the video of Lawler the Puerto Rican situation must have been pretty poor. And keep in mind that video was directed to Puerto Ricans. It shows the amount of negative reinforcement towards keeping Puerto Ricans less than equal.
