Transcript

00:00Bueno, mi gente, aquí estoy, Luis Guzmán,

00:06and I want to express some things today

00:11that are going on towards our community.

00:16First of all, I want to say I'm brown and I'm proud.

00:24I'm brown and I'm proud.

00:27I'm proud of many people in our community.

00:31We are hardworking people.

00:34We go to church.

00:36We raise our kids right.

00:39We work, we work, we work.

00:46And what is happening right now, it's absolutely terrible.

00:54It's racist.

00:57It's downright humiliating.

01:05And again, I'm just pretty devastated.

01:09You know what?

01:10Just to think of this idea that now,

01:14because if you're a brown person, it doesn't matter

01:17if you're born here, born there, wherever.

01:20You're a U.S. citizen and you're brown,

01:24you got to walk around with ID

01:28to prove who you are and where you come from.

01:32And the only place I ever know that that happened

01:36was in Nazi Germany,

01:39where Jews had to walk around with IDs,

01:45with tattoos, numbers.

01:512025.

01:55And this country has regressed.

01:59Regressed.

02:01We're living in a fascist state, people.

02:05And they are targeting our people in our community.

02:13And for those that don't understand this,

02:18you will show up to work

02:21and notice that some of your co-workers are not there.

02:24Your co-workers who you went to their children's baptism,

02:29communion, or they went to your children's baptism

02:33and communion, that you knew were hardworking,

02:37good people, buena gente.

02:44The reason I'm saying this is because we as a community,

02:48we are a big, big community in this country.

02:52And you know what?

02:54There are divisions within our community, granted.

03:01But I also believe that we can unify all together

03:08and fight this and put up the good fight

03:12because it's who we are.

03:15You know, I'm disappointed.

03:17I'm disappointed with

03:23members of certain churches

03:30who are some of the biggest hypocrites,

03:35who quote the lovely Bible

03:42and contradict it.

03:44Contradict it.

03:46Love thy neighbor.

03:49I took in a stranger.

03:53So many quotes that I contradicted.

03:59You know, if it's not in your heart, what's your purpose?

04:06Brown and proud.

04:10Proud of my people.

04:13Yo soy boricua.

04:15But I have friends who are

04:18dominicano, cubano, mexicano, colombiano,

04:22de Venezuela, de Perú, de Panamá,

04:27de Guatemala, de El Salvador, Argentina,

04:31y sigue, y sigue, y sigue.

04:33Somos buena gente.

04:35We're good people.

04:37We bust our ass.

04:38We work hard.

04:40We work hard to put a roof over our family's head,

04:45put food on the table.

04:48We're not all criminals.

04:50And mind you,

04:54this country of ours is being led by one.

04:59What a contradiction, huh?

05:03But I say this.

05:05Let's rise up, people.

05:08Let's stick together.

05:09Let's look out for each other.

05:11Because, you know, no matter what, I make this statement,

05:14I'm sure that all these hypocrites and stuff,

05:19but they will flip in a minute

05:22if they were the ones that were being persecuted

05:26for being good people,

05:29for working hard,

05:32for contributing to their community.

05:35This is blatant racism.

05:39This is blatant racism.

05:41This is blatant racism.

05:46That's all I can say.

05:48We are good people.

05:51We're down and proud.

05:53We raise our children right.

05:55We take pride in who we are.

05:57We take pride in our work,

05:59showing up to work every day, on time,

06:03going on beyond the call of duty.

06:06We raise our children so they can get a good education,

06:11so they can make a good contribution to our community.

06:16We are good examples.

06:19We are damn good examples.

06:21You know?

06:23I'm not going to deal with the hypocrites.

06:25I'm going to deal with the good people.

06:27And to tell you all, please,

06:30stick together.

06:32Look out for one another.

06:34You know?

06:35Because like I said,

06:37the idea that we, all of us,

06:41have to walk around with IDs.

06:46How many Boricuas have been picked up?

06:52You know?

06:54But it's not only Boricuas, like I said.

06:57It's across the board, the whole Latin race.

07:01Are they talking about sending immigrants to Guantanamo Bay?

07:07You know?

07:09That's a concentration camp.

07:12That's a concentration camp for terrorists.

07:17Latinos are not terrorists.

07:20Latinos that come to this country don't come as terrorists.

07:25They come to make a living.

07:27They come to make a contribution to this country.

07:31You know?

07:32The priorities in this country, at this moment, at this time,

07:36are absolutely wrong.

07:40You know?

07:41This election happened.

07:43People stayed on the sidelines.

07:46This is the consequences.

07:48This is the consequences.

07:51You know?

07:53Racism is a consequence of staying on the sidelines.

07:59This mass deportation is the consequences of staying on the sidelines.

08:07Las familias que han vivido aquí 20, 30, 40 años,

08:13que han sido deportadas,

08:15estas son las consecuencias de quedarse en las esquinas.

08:20Fieras y orgullosas hasta el día en que muera.

08:23Y yo ayudaré a mis pueblos,

08:25y estaré ahí para nuestros pueblos,

08:27porque sé que mis pueblos estarán ahí para mí.

08:34Bob Marley lo dijo.

08:36Quédense.

08:39Quédense por sus derechos.

08:41¿Sabes?

08:44Nuestro Benito,
