Ricky Martin READS Donald Trump

Don't fück with Latinos Donald Trump!

 

Kiss our Fat Puerto Rican Asses, Sir!

 

“The fact that an individual like Donald Trump, a candidate for the presidency of the United States for the Republican party, has the audacity to continue to gratuitously harass the Latin community makes my blood boil.

 

When did this character assume he could make comments that are racist, absurd, and above all incoherent and ignorant about us Latinos?

 

From the beginning his intention was transparent: basically tell barbarities and lies to remain relevant in the public opinion, for votes or simply to stay on the media’s radar.

 

Yesterday’s episode against journalist Jorge Ramos, one of the most beloved and respected Latinos in world media, has gotten to the point of enough is enough.

 

Jorge Ramos was doing HIS JOB as a journalist at a press conference in which he appeared freely and democratically, representing one of the most important Latin television networks in the world and with the same right to freely exercise his profession as all other journalists.

 

But this new character in American politics verbally attacks him and ejects him from the press conference.

 

This action from Trump doesn’t surprise me, what does surprise me is that as Hispanics we continue to accept the aggressions and accusations of people like him who attack our dignity.

 

Enough is enough!

 

If we are united for some things we should be united for others. We have already shown the United States who we are and we cannot allow this behavior.

 

We have to defeat the power that Trump pretends to have over Latinos, anchored in low rhetoric and xenophobic speech, which his campaign team is convinced works for him.

 

Let’s show that our Latin race is to be respected, let’s not allow a political hopeful to plant his campaign in insult and humiliation. Let’s demand respect for those first generations of Latinos who came to the United States and opened a path for us. We have fought for every right that we have today.

 

Xenophobia as a political strategy is the lowest you can go in search of political power.

 

This is an issue that unites us and we need to battle it together, not just for us but for the evolution of humanity and those to come.”

Didn't Ramos speak completely out of turn and not wait to be called upon?

Yes.

Yes, he did and when told he would be called upon later to ask his questions he continued and refused to give the floor to the reporters who were called on.

The last thing I want to do is defend Trump, but I think it's better to trash is mega-asshole moves, rather that this non-issue.

"Didn't Ramos speak completely out of turn and not wait to be called upon?"

Yes.  Trump had Ramos escorted out.  Then when everyone else had asked their questions, Trump let Ramos back in to ask his questions.  That's the point that so many miss.  Ramos got to finally ask his question, but by then the attempt to derail Trump had passed.

I wish Ricky Martins would do a cover of Cuban Pete!  Maybe as an Indian raga so that it touches on the more spiritual aspect of where Ricky's at now in his life.

 

They call me Cuban Pete
I'm the king of the rumba beat
When I play the maracas
I go chick chicky boom, chick chicky boom

Did this really happen? Why has it not gotten more publicity? I totally support what he's saying I just had not seen this in any other news coverage.
