ABC Cancelled the show, “Work It” and perhaps they believe that by doing so all of the protest and anger directed towards them will go away. Sorry ABC, that is not going to stop the Puerto Rican protest. While there were some sectors protesting and demanding that the show be cancelled, the Boricuas For A Positive Image have been clear from day one. We want an Apology and a Meeting with ABC to prevent this from ever occurring again. The following video say’s it all. Please come and join us again this Thursday at 5:30 to 6:30 PM.

Daily News Article On ABC-TV Insult – Where Is El Diario?
New York’s hometown newspaper, the Daily News can also be called, “El Campeón De Los Hispanos” (Champion of the Hispanic community) which is the title that El Diario has always gone by. New York’s Puerto Rican/Latino community have been wondering why El Diario has been totally silent on this insult by ABC on the Puerto Rican community? While some point to El Diario’s association with Disney, the parent company of ABC, others just wonder how can they be so blind?
It’s apparent that all the protest that has been generated against the ABC-TV Network is revealing a lot more than the insensitivity of a major station. It has also revealed many cracks in the Puerto Rican/Latino community that will also have to be addressed in the near future. Many question, How can a community help itself when some of our institutions that should be supporting and helping us won’t? Thank You Daily News.

Boston Newspaper Does What El Diario IN NY Has Not
El Mundo Editorial – January 12th, 2012
Alert for Boston Boricuas!
In what can certainly be called an inauspicious debut last week, the ABC sitcom “Work it” has managed to insult Puerto Ricans from the “mecca of Puerto Ricans in the USA” – the Bronx, all the way to the island nation in the Caribbean.
