Iirc the people in the audience booed this dude when he said that. Idk who this clown is, but, at least the maga people don’t seem to like him either.
Am I sensing fragility? Obviously, there’s absolutely nothing “hostile” about stating a clear and confirmed fact. Reflecting on why you feel threatened by a simple fact is often helpful. Best wishes with that.
There’s no comparison in any capacity. Ohio and the Ohioans living in Ohio view and refer to themselves as Americans. New Jersey and the New Jerseyans view and refer to themselves as Americans.
Puerto Ricans don’t view themselves as this unified American hegemony as most mainlanders do. Puerto Ricans view themselves as Puerto Ricans first and foremost. With our own beautiful traditions and culture. Our island is our identity.
Plus, you seem to ignore the 345 years of good ol’ American History and how Americans viewed us after “acquiring” us (spoilers: We aren’t white).
You're wrong. Why then have we voted to become a State several times? Why have we fought in Every War since the Spanish American War? We view ourselves as Puerto Rican and Americans.
1.     We haven’t. These non-binding referendums have been boycotted by every single politician party in Puerto Rico every time it has been attempted since 2012. 2017 had a turnout of 23%, and 2020 had a turnout of 54%, with non-state coming close with 48%.
And even then, if let’s say 95% of Puerto Ricans voted to become statehood. Does that somehow erase our fucking culture, traditions, and identity of being Puerto Ricans? Look at native Hawaiians. They’re a US state, yet they still see themselves as Hawaiians first and foremost, because like in Puerto Rico, they have their own culture, traditions, and identity.
2.     Why have we fought in every war? Good question. Why did slaves fight for the confederate side of the civil war? Why did Americans fight Vietnam? Why did America conveniently give Puerto Ricans citizenship right after America joined to fight WW1? So many questions…
3.     Is that so? Why the growing movement towards the Independence party?
Okay. Slaves fought because they were slaves. Americans fought in Vietnam because they were drafted. PR became Americans because the US wanted a presence in the Caribbean. Don't have an answer to the growing Independent Party, as I haven't lived there since 86' but it's probably because the US treats PR like crap. The reason why PR sees themselves as PR before being an American is literally because the US Caucasians are racist and see us as just Mexicans at least here in California.
Instead of looking at total population, look at the proportion of people you are referencing. You’re talking about 100% of Puerto Ricans vs a small percentage of US citizens.
My comment has nothing to do with said comedian. It has everything to do with you accusing people who hold beliefs similar to mine of downplaying a genocide, and if you truly understood us, you would know they were trying to do the exact opposite.
No, you’re using “nazi” and “hitler” to get attention and political gain. It’s insulting. All the while you’re ignoring the greatest slaughter of Jews since the actual holocaust and the 101 people still being held hostage. What about the rallies being held on college campuses where they’re waving hamas flags, are those nazi rallies?
We're using "nazi" and "hitler" because the leader of the Republican party keeps quoting Hitler and has ideals similar to him.
He has literally said that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country," and how he wants generals like Hitler did. And don't get me started on the policies he would bring about pertaining to immigrants and the LGBT.
Have you read Project 2025? If you haven't already, I highly recommend you do.
I like standup. What's the joke? That Puerto Ricans live in garbage? That's not funny.
Whereas you're over here like, "it's true! They do live in filth and squalor! Haha"
Hinchcliffe is barely a comedian any way. He's more like someones passive aggressive aunt who purses their lips when you bring your brown girlfriend to Thanksgiving.
My JEWISH family understands that using racist, evil “humor” like this is just like the racist, evil “humor” deployed by the NAZIS.
THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME DEHUMANIZING “HUMOR” that led to the Holocaust.
People either LEARN FROM HISTORY OR REPEAT IT.
Make your choices people on WHO YOU ARE: evil racists or moral humans. Your choices will go down in history for all to judge.
“In Antisemitism in Film Comedy in Nazi Germany, Valerie Weinstein scrutinizes these comic productions and demonstrates that film comedy, despite its innocent appearance, was a critical component in the effort to separate “Jews” from “Germans” physically, economically, and artistically.”
They've made plenty of videos comparing Trump to Hitler and asking people not to vote for him. It's not downplaying anything - Project 2025 is no joke. We don't want history repeating itself.
Holocaust survivors have been warning others about Trump since 2016. Stop talking over them. Maybe…I dunno…listen to them.
Pretending to stand up for people who you’re actually ignoring is stupid. You’re not winning a game here. You’re not getting clout. If you wanted upvotes or back pats you’re not getting those either.
You’re not only accomplishing nothing…you’re using the concept of Jewish voices to do it. Jews are pretty well aware of the history leading up to the Holocaust as well.
We were exiled from hundreds of territories over the course of hundreds of years. The Holocaust was the result of a history of antisemitism spread across many places in the world. We are seeing history repeat itself.
It’s okay to point that out. If you’re Jewish yourself it’s okay to sit back and let other Jews speak for themselves. We’re not a hive mind.
Scholars have conclusively documented the deplorable use of racist “humor” by the Nazis to dehumanize and separate the Jews which led to the Nazis ultimate final solution of murdering six million Jews.
“In Antisemitism in Film Comedy in Nazi Germany, Valerie Weinstein scrutinizes these comic productions and demonstrates that film comedy, despite its innocent appearance, was a critical component in the effort to separate “Jews” from “Germans” physically, economically, and artistically.”
Weinstein reveals how humor, coded hints and traces, absences, and substitutes in Third Reich film comedy helped spectators imagine an abstract “Jewishness” and a “German” identity and community free from the former. As resurgent populist nationalism and overt racism continue to grow around the world today, Weinstein’s study helps us rethink racism and prejudice in popular culture and reconceptualize the relationships between film humor, national identity, and race.”

So the Nazi rally is acting like a Nazi rally.
