WTF does the fact this friend is Puerto Rican have to do with anything?
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Tell me more about this "ethnic Puerto Rican friend" and why that point is relevant. How many "ethnic" Puerto Ricans do you know?
Do you have "black" friend too? What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

So the fact he is "ethnic Puerto Rican" is irrelevant. Does he know he is your "ethnic Puerto Rican" friend? Does he know you call him that?
Amazing how you don't just answer questions. Must take a while to translate back and forth from Russian.

Do people like you, from countries other than US, know anything about Puerto Rico?

All you have are strawman fallacies and a gish gallop? So I assume you know nothing about Puerto Rico, but are willing to trot out your "Puerto Rican friend" when convenient.

Troll. Who knows nothing about Puerto Rico except that it is a US "ethnic" group.

Why would I respond to the statement of a political party in a foreign country? Besides I have not seen the text. Post a link and maybe I will read it.

A Google search brings up many links to the ANC statement.
So does a Bing search. Stop lying.What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

I highly doubt he is from the USA. The more animated and ridiculous he gets the more he slips away from US language and figures of speech. His idioms and sentence structure seems to be based on British engish Not sure though.

Do you know anything about the ANC other than Nelson Mandela? Their moral authority, even in SA, has taken a severe beating over the last couple of decades. Have you heard of Jacob Zuma?
I know a couple of ANC members. I have not talked to them about this current crisis and have not seen them in 3 years, but the last time I spoke to them there was some apprehension from them that SA and the ANC(two seperte entities)were still so closely aligned with Russia. This was only two low-level members of the party but like everything else, no party or group is monolithic in its views. That you think so speaks a lot about your political intelligence and ability to be a rational thinker.

You said you would quote and respond to every sentence if you could open the party's site, and posess the text.
Nope never did.You are a horrible liar. So now we know you seem to know nothing about South Africa, the ANC or Puerto Rico. All you do is parrot propaganda. And make threats.

He is a white imperialist. His arguments are classic reactionary when it comes to third world nations and minority groups.
This is exposed by his claim that non-white and minority groups are monolithic in their views, ideas, and aspirations. As a Boricua(US citizen of Puerto Rican ancestry) I can tell you that minorities are just like all other groups. There is a wide range of political and social positions. To make the claim that all people of any group feel a certain way is the height of racism. In the Hispanic (especially Puerto Rican) world we have friends and family that run the full gamut of color and opinion. In South Africa, I know women that were on the front lines fighting apartheid(at least one is enshrined in a photo at the Apartheid Museum of a group of protestors). I know people in the next couple of generations that are much more closely aligned with the western democracies and feel they were used as much by the Soviets as they were by the west. In their view, the west has a lot more to offer. LNA is simply a troll and/or a reactionary harkening for the glory days(which never existed) of the USSR. Wishing for the return of the Comintern.
