Very good video.

Thanks for the great upload.

[xPRxPraaaaaaaaaaxPRx]

pupu is an idiot,majority of puertoricans are partially west african and this is a proven fact, there are some that are whiter but thats because they are only partially puerto rican because their families are recent immigrants to pr...i know this because its in my family and many others from humacao anyway enjoy the video because believe it or ot that is your culture if you are boricua

[ElMatatan003]

Que Viva Puerto Rico!!!! Nuetra Paiz!!!! No importa lo que dicen lo Americano!! Nos Vamos ganar nuestra independencia y nos vamos a contruir nuestra isla junto!!! papi tu lo sabe!!

[piraguero2003]

[kwacou]

It's amazing we have something similar in Jamaica called Jonkonnu which we celebrates during the Christmas season.

[chsn09]

@kwacou Yes! West Indians/Caribbeans/Antilleans have lots in common! Puerto Rico and Jamaica have so many similarities! Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Antigua, Martinique, Dominican Republic ALL have the same cultures!

[SuperKatheline]

Do you happen to have more videos of this specific day? 7/25/06. I was there... part of the parade as a matter of fact.

[akin2U]

@SuperKatheline Unfortunately,Iused the video setting on my digital camera which gave me only 3 minutes.

[pupusoft]

Good to see the comment from Carajito Inexperto was removed. He asks me why i must insist on letting people know puerto rico is not all black but it is because of afronazis like him that insist on letting people know that puerto ricans are all black.

[chsn09]

@pupusoft Oh please the only Nazi around here is you!!!!!

[jahlionpr]

@pupusoft, you stupid fuck, nobody ever said "every puerto rican is black" so why do you insist on searching for videos of Loiza or anything that has to do with afro-puerto rican culture just to let everyone know not all Puerto Ricans are black? are you that fucking obsessed with the topic that you feel the need to go out of your way to let people know that not all Puerto Ricans are black? seriously? its that big of an issue for you? its just a video about "carnival"...let it be what it is.

[jahlionpr]

@pupusoft, you are so obsessed with whitening Puerto Rico's image, that you go on videos like this, which have nothing to do with race or demographics and start ranting about how not all Puerto Ricans look like this, who gives a flying fuck? you claim you are not a racist, you call me a "afronazi" hahahaha wow, excuse me for not having a problem with my own skin colour...if anyone is a nazi around here, its you...get a life, its not all about white vs black...leave Loiza alone you lil prick.

[chsn09]

Wow this video is nice and clear! Excellent video!

[mrgaga1223]

damn son i miss my hometown

[dontdodrugs666]

its like the niggers puerto rico

[pupusoft]

isn't how funny if someone saw a video like this they would think that this is the only puerto rican look. i celebrate the diversity of races don't get me wrong, but an afrocentist would say puerto ricans are black based on loiza.

[chsn09]

@pupusoft Everyone knows that Puerto Rico is NOT all black obviously! Only an ignorant fool would think Puerto Rico was black based on one major Afrodescendant cultural vestige area! Que pendejos son otra vez! SMFH!

[pupusoft]

@chsn09 Thats the thing right there and you said only the ignorant. Do you know that their are afrocentrics worse than you that would think that by one video the population would constitute it. So you are wrong not everyone knows.

[chsn09]

@pupusoft Why must you insisit on calling me Afrocentric? Huh? I am NOT afrocentric but rather Afrodiasporic, and I support European cultures so I guess you can call me a Eurocentric too! So you are wrong about what you are saying! Everyone does NOT know, but people do assume!

[streetnewz]

@pupusoft no, an afrocentist would say Puerto Rico is apart of the Black Dispora, which it is...anywhere with Black populations is apart of the black dispora....does that make you feel bad or something? why do you care, just curious?

[destinomataliga]

I hope you do. The video is very clean and clear. If you have more video it would be interesting to see it. Do you still have a web site with more information about the Festival and about the area?
