He lost, Puerto Rico is still a colony and what the heck are the Insular Cases?

Direct Link to Rumble video

A decision on a Supreme Court Case I previously referenced (United States vs. Vaello Madero) has been rendered. He lost. Obviously this is my own perspective but to say that it's still raw is an understatement. A century after the Spanish American War and how colonies like the 5 inhabited unincorporated territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Island Territories) still persist without the right to become states and more importantly be equal citizens of the United States and all of it's laws still baffles and angers me.

This particular video I concentrate on the SCOTUS case regarding the lawsuit from the federal government against a poor disabled Puerto Rican man whose only crime stemmed from a decision made 125 years ago. I talk about some of the written decisions (both concurrences and the lone dissent).

Just a short video to talk about my new hairstyle and donating hair to Locks of Love.

This video is not sponsored. Just wanted to promote them for when you decide to do a drastic haircut like I did that someone can definitely use the hair to make wigs for Cancer patients free of charge!

First Generation American as a Stateside Puerto Rican


Direct Link to Video

An overview from my perspective growing up in the United States to Puerto Rican parents on the issue of American Colonialism. I go into detail regarding a Supreme Court of the United States case (US vs. Vaello Madero) and how it affected me personally enough to make this video.  Obviously this is my own perspective and I don't know all the ins and outs of this complex issue, however that shouldn't stop me from having an opinion of where we are a century after the Spanish American War and how colonies like the 5 inhabited unincorporated territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Island Territories) still persist without the right to become states and more importantly be equal citizens of the United States and all of it's laws.

This particular video I concentrate on the SCOTUS case regarding the lawsuit from the federal government against a poor disabled Puerto Rican man whose only crime stemmed from a decision made 125 years ago.
