The reason I bring this up is because colonizing powers attacked PR identity in the process of codifying their 2nd-class citizenship. People joke about how Puerto Ricans are obsessed w/ flying the flag. That’s bc it was illegal & doing so represented resistance to colonialism. — PolitiTweet.org

The United States did this to Puerto Ricans, too. In 1948, the US-appointed PR gov signed a Gag Law making it illegal to fly the Puerto Rican flag, punishable up to 10 years in prison. It was illegal until 1957. When the law was repealed, the gov changed the PR flag to US blue. https://t.co/NNc8U3Dguc — PolitiTweet.org
