Mind decolonization must come first

By José M. Lopez Sierra – Puerto Rico

Decolonization is impossible without first decolonizing the minds of the colonized people. Please click on this link for more: https://youtu.be/ZUERQ3ruVjo 

Puerto Rico is a perfect example of this. Puerto Rico has been a United States (US) colony for the past 127 years. 

6 million Puerto Ricans have abandoned our national territory (gentrification), and half of the 3 million people in Puerto Rico live in poverty. Despite that, half of the Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico want Puerto Rico to be the 51st state of the Union. Thus, many Puerto Ricans have been successfully brainwashed! 

If they were not, they could join the Puerto Ricans who have not been brainwashed to engage in permanent resistance to force the US to comply with 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding the immediate return of Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. 

But, instead, they continue to vote in Puerto Rico, as if Puerto Rico were a real democracy where the will of the Puerto Ricans is respected. 

They are unable to see, by virtue of 9 of the 10 richest men in the world being US citizens while 40 million Americans live in poverty, and 201 million more live from paycheck to paycheck, that instead of the US being the «champion of democracy», it is the champion of imperialism.

It is impossible for the US to be a democracy, when it has unconditionally supported the genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine against humanity and international law!

The mind is a terrible thing to colonize!

Nací en NYC. Me mudé a Puerto Rico en el 1980 donde eventualmente me convertí en independentista al ver que PR no se administra para los boricuas. Me retiré tempranamente de la pedagogía para luchar 24/7 por la descolonización de Puerto Rico a través de marchas pacíficas anuales y empujar a la ONU hacer su trabajo. Necesitaremos un tsunami de gente protestando permanentemente para obligar a USA a cumplir con la ley internacional que prohíbe el coloniaje.
