Will Vice President Harris — whose parents were from Jamaica and India, which not that long ago were both under the foot of British colonialism — speak to these events and the colonial system? Will the U.S. repair the lasting harm from thehas done for Puerto Rico, like introducing an energy resilience fund.
At election times, presidential candidates attempt to portray themselves as the better choice for Puerto Ricans when the reality is that U.S. leaders, operating through the colonial elite, have been harmful to Puerto RicoThe failure of Americans to confront U.S. colonialism furthers it. Americans can and should usher the U.S. into a post-colonial era, instead of it continuing to dominate the lives and decisions of Caribbean and Pacific Island peoples, a shameful injustice for the last 126 years.
