Puerto Rican independence movement wasn't just rooted in some sort of personal intransigence or some passionate Latino temperament. It was rooted in economic and political reality at the time.

This is the world where someone who doesn't know you privately, personally, or professionally hears your name and has some opinion about you one way or another.

It's simply revealed there. People who lack integrity will have it revealed publicly.
