Even black police officers themselves have reported being subject to racism. In , Yolanda Carrasquillo settled with the Puerto Rico police department after making claims that she and other dark-skinned police employees were regularly subjected to racial slurs by a civilian co-worker.
The term Afro-LatinX or Afro-descendiente African descendant is embraced by some as a form of cultural pride and acknowledgment of African ancestry, which undergirds many aspects of Puerto Rican culture, from food to salsa music. An accident is happening right now and the police may not come until the next day. Similarly, the media which acts as an ideological arm of society is responsible for reproducing anti-Black racism.
In part this is because I was born to a padre blanco a white father and a madre negra Black mother. She said they were relentlessly racist towards her, taking advantage that she was just una muchacha negra ignorante ignorant young Black woman.
Because she was so young and inexperienced and not yet able to speak back, whenever they visited, she would cower when they treated her como una sirvienta like a servant , ordering her around and examining the surfaces to see whether she kept the house clean.

My mother and I are often asked whether we are Dominican or Panamanian. In short, in my family, the people who are unambiguously Black live Black lives, and experience anti-Black racism, whether in Puerto Rico or stateside.
My family was thoroughly racialized long before we moved out of Puerto Rico. To race scholars, as well as to lay people, it is an open secret that Puerto Rico is a society obsessed with racial classification and the policing of race because it is invested in anti-Blackness.
The time for post-national Black solidarity is now. The Puerto Rican Diaspora tends to use cultural nationalist signifiers to affirm their ethnic belonging and pride.
