Puerto Rican Day Parade

[dino_electropolis]

Today is the 51st PR Day Parade in NYC....you know, the one where several women were raped some years back......


anyway, i find it hilarious that all these people are on tv talkin about how proud they are to be Puerto Rican, how they love the culture, blah blah blah.....

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhhhhht.

I just find that so adorable....delusional, yes, but adorable.

[underdog]

Yeah.

Wait. What?

[dino_electropolis]

oh, look, here is a contigency marching down the street....it seems the cultural outfit is long XXXXL white t-shirts draped over blue jeans that come up to the knee, and a tilted unbent-brim baseball cap with the sticker still on it.


What an amazing culture.....what amazing contributions to the world.

[Friday]

you're right.

it's sooooooo much better to be white.

Don't forget the entitled part. That part's the best.

[ralphbxny]

I ran my Sloan Kettering 5k in my PR Shirt. I think I saw Mikeyboy walking toward 5th Ave earlier.

[dino_electropolis]

I didnt say anything about being white.....but being greek, i suppose i have an advantage in terms of cultural contributions (silly homo jokes aside)

Did i touch a nerve with you Friday, uh, i mean Viernes?

Was he walking on any water? Because if he was, that was Jesus. If he was just on the street it was probably Mikey.

There are about 100k Jesus' there and none of the can walk on water but Budweiser is another thing!

I agree.

They really need to shape up their act and make it respectful and dignified like the nation's various St. Patrik's Day parades.

[KnoxHarrington]

I agree.

They really need to shape up their act and make it respectful and dignified like the nation's various St. Patrik's Day parades.

And I'm sure Columbus Day will be celebrated with wine tastings and lectures on Italian-American art.

I guess it's OK to be a drunken ass when your skin's not brown, isn't it?

[TheMojoPin]

In short, we're all unified in how we all act like assholes when we have a parade.

[IamPixie]

the greeks fucked little boys constantly.

[GvacMobile]

Puerto Rico has given us some of the finest asses on the planet. For that alone its people deserve our gratitude.

Friday's not Puerto Rican. She's probably just annoyed by your bigoted statements in this thread.

this man speaks the truth

[eeroomnhoj]

I remember always traveling home to LI the same weekend as the Puerto Rican Day parade and being stuck in traffic on the Southern State for hours waiting for the traffic to clear.

That should be a presidential candidate's slogan.

If we had one of those big, annoying, sparkling "Quoted For Truth" things here that they have at FBA, this is where I'd use it.

between that and Yankee game today, the traffic is going to be insane

That's not PR culture, that's Hip Hop culture. What you just described is worn by people from every ethnic group.

Poorly shaped or looks like it was shaped with a stencil?

I'd be pretty proud if I didn't have to pay federal income tax.

I'm grateful to Mikeyboy.

[epo]

Wait...I thought our nation was a melting pot and we should be proud and accepting of the varying cultural differences we have.

Oh, epo! You so crazy!!!!

[ChrisTheCop]

Puerto Rico Day today...nice! When's Massachusetts Day?

Anywho... I worked it today, and in past years.
Seriously, The West Indies parade and the Puerto Rico Parade are the 2 worst parades a cop has to deal with; I tried to give away this CASH OVERTIME assignment, and NO ONE wanted it!

I always laugh after spending a full day surrounded by gang bangers and thugs, stabbing eachother, shooting eachother, fighting in the street, exhausted from trying to make sure no one gets killed-- I return home, plop down on my couch and turn on the news:

"a glorious celebration of their culture; plenty of police on hand, but luckily they didnt incite anything..." lol.

Yes, there are many many people who go to the parade to simply celebrate their heritage peacefully and lovingly... but unfortunately due to the actions of some, it has become an event I wouldnt attend with anyone I loved, and I'm sincerely frightened when I see families with young kids doing so.

That said, today was unbelievably uneventful. It seemed to be more people there than I have ever seen at previous PR parades, and although the gangbangers were indeed present, I didnt see or hear of any mischief/criminal activity, and the only ambulance calls I witnessed were heat related.

Maybe it was just too hot to act up, or maybe...just maybe, theyve learned to appreciate the day for what it is.

Happy Puerto Rico Day!!!

See ya on Nevada Day!!

Was Big Pun there? He's my favorite puerto rican.

Wow, everyone here is SO enlightened....thank you for opening my bigoted eyes to the wonderful magical culture of Puerto Rico. Instead of attackin me personally (yeah, you), you took an ultra liberal stance to educate me. Seriously, you guys listed so many facts and prominent historical figures that i am ashamed that i ever viewed them in the light that i once did. I never knew that it was a Puerto Rican who made great strides in...........?

exactly.

wait. we were supposed to be doing what now?

[dino_electropolis]

wait. we were supposed to be doing what now?

was just defending my close-minded, provincial and bigoted opinion. I used to think that by promoting 8-11 year old girls to wear revealing outfits and shakin their asses while marching down 5th avenue, Ricans were doing their proud culture a disservice......but i stand corrected.

but thank you for all your work as an officer (and i'm glad you guys were able to keep things in line today)

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that it was our job to become wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_rico) for your Archie Bunker stance?

Wikipedia is great....so full of verified facts and information. This article was great in that in adds so much to.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.


No go make me some tostones, Edith.

Everyone gets parade. Did the Greek Independence Day parade pass already?

I dunno-- that yankee fan guy kinda sucked.

Dammit! I thought that guy was real.

[dino_electropolis]

I dunno if its the heat or humidity, but many of you seem out of your mind.

I was under the impression that a board dedicated to R&F was supposed to be fun, poke fun and take fun. Apparantly, this gets dismissed when certain "groups" are the target.

I wonder: if ronnie were to say this, would it elicit the same ire, or would it get a chuckle or two.

But, of course, i'm not Ronnie (no one else could be) so all the "love everyone" hypocrites target me.

Thats a laugh.

Even worst than the 30 snoogans has? Thats saying something.

there is one large difference you are overlooking.

Ronnie is funny.

That's kind of a good point. I couldn't find anything in your posts that would indicate they were intended to be humorous.

[dino_electropolis]

Ronnie is funny.

Your right. Its not funny to make fun. Then it would be called, well, FUNny.

Friday, thank you for being the arbiter of all that is funny and appropriate in the world.

Gonna go light a candle, sing kumbaya and try to make peace with my inner self.

You seem to be digging your hole even deeper.

You came off like, well, an asshole. Your little "bit" seemed more racist than funny. Racial humor has it's place, but when it's devoid of actual humor, don't be surprised if people take exception.

[BoondockSaint]

I bet it's that asshole Ernie Anastos.

i hear ya, and i dont totally disagree....but ooh fah, so much tension over some failed "bit".

But really: no one takes exception to celebrating pre-teens gyrating down fifth avenue?

No one?

[dino_electropolis]

I bet it's that asshole Ernie Anastos.

Ha....now THAT'S funny.....:lol:

[MagillaGorillaz]

There's a gay pride parade in my hometown on Long Island. It was today, same as the Puerto Rican Day parade. I always wonder what is a gay Puerto Rican to do.

[IamPixie]

I don't think anyone's that up in arms about it.

Why is it a problem for you that people want to celebrate their culture? It's not yours. You don't have to be there, you don't have to see it. You're not even in the same state in which the parade occurs. It just comes across as "I DON'T LIKE PUERTO RICANS"

I would suggest he attend the Long Island Parade and steal a hubcap or two down the parade route.

Funny? Or hurtful....i cant tell anymore?

I have no problem with people celebrating their culture.....shit, i probably celebrate my own too much (as anyone who comes from and shares the amazing culture that i....you see, i almost did it again!)

We should look to the St. Patrick's Day parade and how it's a tempered, eloquent celebration of Irish culture and contributions to the world.

Puerto Rican Day Parade? I was wondering why I started seeing a lot of Puerto Rican flags on cars last week. Which reminds me, who thought of the idea of putting a flag on the hood of you car?

I've been to Puerto Rico and found it to be a beautiful island with kind people and a very colorful and flavorful culture.

And Puerto Rican women... even with their fiery temper... can be beautiful and fun as hell to spend time with.

I wouldn't let a few images that I don't agree with nor a few assholes ruin my perception of the people as a whole.

There are assholes in every culture.

Messageboards too.

you wouldnt say that if i were Puerto Rican....because offending Puerto Ricans IS NOT NICE, or funny.....its just stupid.

[DOHO@HOME]

Looking for a good drycleaner have KKK parade coming up and I can't get this blood stain out.:smoke:
I love how they drape a flag over themselves and anything else that might have stolen.:tongue:
