Following yesterday’s incident in which longtime Univision news anchor and Fusion TV host Jorge Ramos was ejected from a Donald Trump news conference, singer Ricky Martin has penned an op-ed defending Ramos and calling for an end to the attacks against Latinos.
The piece was published on Univision and translated to English via Billboard. Martin begins by calling out Trump’s gratuitous harassments against the Latin community.
From the beginning his intention was transparent: basically tell barbarities and lies to remain relevant in the public opinion, for votes or simply to stay on the media’s radar. Yesterday’s episode against journalist Jorge Ramos, one of the most beloved and respected Latinos in world media, has gotten to the point of enough is enough. Jorge Ramos was doing HIS JOB as a journalist at a press conference in which he appeared freely and democratically, representing one of the most important Latin television networks in the world and with the same right to freely exercise his profession as all other journalists.
He continues by saying Trump’s actions don’t surprise him, but is surprised by Hispanics still accepting the “aggressions and accusations of people like him.”
Enough is enough! If we are united for some things we should be united for others. We have already shown the United States who we are and we cannot allow this behavior. We have to defeat the power that Trump pretends to have over Latinos, anchored in low rhetoric and xenophobic speech, which his campaign team is convinced works for him.
Let’s show that our Latin race is to be respected, let’s not allow a political hopeful to plant his campaign in insult and humiliation. Let’s demand respect for those first generations of Latinos who came to the United States and opened a path for us. We have fought for every right that we have today.
“Never in my life, anywhere in the world have they kicked me out of a press conference or an interview,” Ramos told Univision after the incident, according to Latin Times. “This is the first time and it’s happening in the U.S. with a presidential candidate.” He continued, “If he does this to me, that I’m a U.S. citizen, what can happen with the other undocumented immigrants living here in the U.S. that haven’t had my luck?”
Martin’s a Moon-fruit-bat... thats also a VAMPIRE(democrat)..
A Black Al Sharpton.
Only mindless racists view any difference of opinion as "insult and humiliation." That is a carbon copy of the extent of Al Sharpton thought.
"Latin" is a race now?"
How does a doofus, who embraces the very concept of "racism" and who protects and promotes a violent group called "La Raza" have the *alls to claim victimhood?
La Raza's has an armed, violent shadow army in my country, and our elected criminals fails to take action against it : it is called Aztlan
If you go to their web site and not wreck your TV, you are a better man than I am!
But only if you are honest and admit total fluency in Spanish.
Livin’ la vida, homo.
Who is this Ricky Martin? The subject screed reads like it was written by Reeky Retardo. Same clown, maybe?
OH NO! Trumps campaign is over....we’ve heard from Ricky! Say it ain’t so.........(wringing hands)
“Martin begins by calling out Trump’s gratuitous harassment against the Latin community”
So all the Latinos that are in the Country LEGALLY are not part of the Latin “community”?
HISPANIC AMERICANS STAND AGAINST ILLEGAL ALIENS:
