Another Good Video On 2nd Protest Against ABC

Though the mainstream corporate media has been ignoring the protest against ABC independent rebel’s with cameras have been recording all the action to share. Democracy in this country has been bought, therefore, real news and information is not going to come from corporate media. Especially when over 90% of all our news and entertainment come from just 6 companies. Thank GOD for groups like Latino Rebels. See u all nxt Thursday.

Video Of 2nd Protest In Front Of ABC Studios

The second protest against ABC for the insulting comments aired on the show “Work It” that took place last Thursday was a huge success bringing together a larger group of protestors than the first protest that Lucky Rivera and myself led on Wednesday January 4th. Check out the following video provided by the National Institute For Latino Policy. The show was cancelled, but still no apology, or meeting, therefore, we wil be there again Thursday 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. One hour for our dignity.

against the blatant offense by ABC television’s portrayal of the Puerto Rican community! The ABC show “Work It” blatantly offends the Puerto Rican community by portraying Puerto Ricans as “good drug dealers”
 
“Boricuas for a Positive Image” a newly formed ad hoc group of activists, will hold a second protest outside ABC television corporate headquarters this coming Thursday, January 12th in a continued effort to call attention to the inflicted offense that ABC’s “Work It” pilot sitcom has caused the Puerto Rican/Latino community . . . where Puerto Ricans were stereotyped as expert vendors of narcotics. A character called Angel, played by the actor Amaury Nolasco, is scripted as saying to be an expert on selling drugs because he is Puerto Rican.
Protest organizers will be announcing their demands from the television network, including calling for a public apology.
 
Stand Up For Dignity & Justice!

The following is the latest statement we have received
“It is unfortunate that ABC would choose to look for humor by exploiting misleading stereotypes about Puerto Ricans, rather than highlight the positive contributions Puerto Ricans have made to the well-being of this nation. This unfortunate, unfunny attempt at humor is both reprehensible and something that ABC should apologize for, without delay,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
