Puerto Rican Pride or Puerto Rican Prop? The Fight to Preserve Our Culture Everybody loves waving the flag when the cameras are on. Everybody loves claiming Puerto Rican pride when there's money to be made, followers to gain, sponsors to impress, or political points to score. But where are those same people when our communities need advocates? Where are they when our youth need mentors? Where are they when our culture, history, and traditions are being watered down for likes and profit? In this episode of Da Poisonous Daily, we're pulling back the curtain on the difference between cultural pride and cultural exploitation. - When does representation become performance? - Who is building the community, and who is simply benefiting from it? - Are some people protecting our culture—or using it as a brand? This isn't an attack. It's an audit. Because culture is not a costume.Our heritage is not a marketing campaign. And being Boricua should mean more than showing up when it's convenient. Some people carry the flag. Some people cash in on it. Which one are you?
