Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Since 1947, Puerto Ricans have been able to elect their own governor. Its official languages are Spanish and English, with Spanish being the primary language. The island's current political status, including the possibility of statehood or independence, is widely debated in Puerto Rico.

n 1932, Albizu published a manuscript accusing Dr. Cornelius P. Rhoads of killing Puerto Rican patients in San Juan's Presbyterian Hospital, as part of his medical experiments for the Rockefeller Institute. Albizu quoted as his source a letter, received from a third party, in which Dr. Rhoads admitted to injecting Puerto Rican patients with live cancer cells: "The Porto Ricans (sic) are the dirtiest, laziest, most degenerate and thievish race of men ever to inhabit this sphere...I have done my best to further the process of extermination by killing off eight and transplanting cancer into several more...All physicians take delight in the abuse and torture of the unfortunate subjects."

What is with Bstool and all the race war stuff lately? Anywhoo, Puerto Rican votes don't count. It's for show only. Like DC citizens.

They can vote in the primaries (if the party allows) since those are private elections, not US elections.

Bstool has always has strong racial tones. I don't blame him as much as I pity him, that whole region was swimming in ethnic cleansing for a generation. As far as Puerto Ricans, I have never met one that didn't speak english fluently. They are very much bi lingual, much the same as say Quebec.

There are actually 57 US states AND US territories that participate in the Federal General Elections.
