Fat Joe Calls Out Puerto Ricans Who ‘Act White’ By Continuing To Support Donald Trump

    Fat Joe has some words for his fellow Puerto Ricans who are still supporting Donald Trump in the presidential election.

    In part one of the Breakbeat Media News special Us: A Summit on Black & Brown Men & The Vote published on Friday (November 1), the Bronx native addressed those who still plan to vote for the former President despite comments at his recent rally calling Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage.”

    “It breaks my heart…” Joe began. “If any of you guys got Puerto Rican friends, when you go over there and you go visit, the first thing they tell you is, ‘My island, my island. Yo you went to my island.’ How the hell are they gonna call Puerto Rico an island of garbage and when I post on my Instagram, ‘These the guys you voting for?’ I see Puerto Ricans saying, ‘No we’re still for Trump 2024.’ That’s that house n-gga mentality. That’s the Latino that wish he was white. Those the guys in the comments, you know?

    “[They] change they voice up [and] try to sound white, trying to fit in. Those the guys I’ve been fighting my whole life because they look at me like, you know, what I am.”

    Speaking at Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night (October 27), comedian and podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe told the crowd: “There’s a lot going on, like, I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

    Immediately following Hinchcliffe’s comment, Bad Bunny took to his Instagram account and shared – multiple times – a video of VP Harris detailing her plans for Puerto Rico to his 46 million followers.

    “I will never forget what Donald Trump did and what he did not do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and a competent leader,” Harris says in the clip, referring to his handling of 2017 Hurricanes Irma and Maria. “He abandoned the island, tried to block aid after back-to-back devastating hurricanes, and offered nothing more than paper towels and insults.”

    Fellow Puerto Rican superstars Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin also shared Harris’ video, as did Fat Joe.

    For his part, Hinchcliffe has since defended his statement as “a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist.”

    1. Well puerto rico has a waste management problem with landfills and their sanitation department. Its well documented if you read up on it on the internet. Thats what the joke was about and its a shame some puerto ricans arent smart enough to get the joke but they claim to care about the country and know nothing about its issues. As far as kamala, if yall men vote for her you might as well put on your wifes bra.

    2. Here’s the irony of Fat Joe finger wagging at other PuertoRicans and accusing them of “acting white”. If you ask him to show his ID/Driver License, I CAN GUARANTEE you that he classifies himself as “WHITE”. Not only that, the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of Hispanics/Latinos GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO CLASSIFY THEMSELVES AS “WHITE”. This also includes the “Afro-Latinos”. Also, we’ve all seen that whiteboy bowl haircut FatJoe had as a kid, that’s why he keeps his hair cut low to hide the fact, he’s simply a White man from a “Latin” country/culture. In Latin Countries, he would have privileges over the darker skinned Hispanics because they don’t even acknowledge the darker skinned ones as Latinos. I bet you he won’t ever address that though.

      1. We don’t dumbass, thats what they classify us as. They mark us down as white as default since we aren’t Asian, black, or native.

      2. We found one of the fact deniers! Yes, you do dumbass. History shows that you fought to be acknowledged as White in the US. Also, the racism in those Latin countries proves this over and over again. Exposed! COPE harder bitch!

    3. And supporting the side that actively wants to control what you can say and how to think is a good thing as a rapper? Hip hop really needs to get over this colour based nonsense and start looking at the whole picture.

      1. @Bigger The irony of your last sentence though. It’s like you didn’t read or hear a word Joe said. And just because people can vote for who they want doesn’t mean they should. Trump is a shitty person. Shitty people shouldn’t lead our country.

    4. Porto Rico may not be a floating pile of garbage, but Fat Joe sure is. This guy should grow some nuts and learn what a joke is. Start by watching Kill Tony, the best comedy podcast on planet earth.

    7. I lived through 9/11 but the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen is Donald Trump convincing men of any color that he actually cares about them. I’m deadass. Like I can’t believe y’all believe him.

    8. Joe’s right. Too many Puerto Ricans as well as immigrants are just straight pick-mes. They hate the same people MAGA hates, including themselves. But they think the leopards won’t eat THEIR faces for some reason. When face eating is the one area where leopards don’t discriminate.

    9. That notion that ideology must be tied to ethnic backround is pure ignorance and racism. Sorry that don’t back the LGBTQ new world order religion.

    10. There is only one class of Americans who obsess about skin color — our second largest “minority”. Our first largest, our Latinos, focus on language, national heritage, and could care less about “of color”. I hope Trump loses because of his opinion of Puerto Rico, but could care less about the “color” crowd.

    13. Hey fat Joe, does speaking English as your main language rather thab your native Spanish language count as “acting white”? I’d consider that to be the most white action a Puerto Rican can take in all honesty.
