Had to share:
Some prejudiced members of MAGA mindset are heard saying about Bad Bunny,
“GO BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY!”
I don’t know who to thank for this since so many have posted it. So, thank you all.
Here's a little background on Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, aka Bad Bunny, as the Super Bowl approaches.
Benito was born in Puerto Rico in 1994.
Puerto Rico is part of America.
Puerto Rico is not a country.
Puerto Rico is a territory.
Puerto Rico is an American territory.
Puerto Rico-born human beings are American citizens.
Legally.
By birth.
Benito is a legal American citizen by birth.
For comparison, Melania Trump is not.
LEARN THE LANGUAGE!!!!
Benito speaks fluent Spanish.
Benito also speaks fluent English.
English and Spanish are both the official languages of Puerto Rico.
That means Benito is fluent in two languages.
In exactly how many languages are you fluent?
Benito began writing his own songs at age 14.
What were you doing at age 14?
Today, his catalog includes over 550 songs.
Benito has more than 110 songs listed in the Billboard Hot 100.
Benito has 17 Latin Grammy Awards. How many do you have?
Benito has 6 American Grammy Awards. How many do you have?
Benito's net worth is estimated at $100 million. What's yours?
He has performed live in front of millions and millions of people.
In 2018, Benito formed Good Bunny Foundation, a philanthropic organization that emphasizes youth empowerment, cultural preservation, and community development in Puerto Rico. The foundation collaborates extensively with local governments, educational institutions, corporations, UNICEF, and fellow artists to amplify its impact. From personal time to musical instruments to art supplies to money, Benito has donated and raised millions and millions of dollars for children through this foundation.
How much have you raised for yours?
Lastly, personal musical taste aside, if Super Bowl halftime entertainment being "American" is really what you care about, where were you when - in the 2000s alone - the Rolling Stones, U2, Phil Collins, Julio Iglesias, Shakira, The Weeknd, The Who, Rihanna, and Paul McCartney performed?
So tell us again why you're so damn angry about the NFL choosing Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show that you're going to change the channel to Turning Point USA's in-memoriam to Charlie Kirk.
Is it because you're actually angry, or is it because you've been told you're supposed to be?
And if you actually are angry, maybe it's time to take a long, hard, honest look at what it is you're actually angry about. Because it's not Bad Bunny. And it's not the NFL.
And while you're thinking about the whats and whys, maybe try taking a breather, sitting back, popping a beer, and checking out the performance. Because whether Bad Bunny's music is your thing or not, maybe you'll realize that he's not the guy or the thing you should really be angry about. Paque lo sepa.
