La Perla: Inside Puerto Rico's Most Notorious Neighborhood

  • I decided to veer off of the beaten cobblestone paths of Old San Juan into the alleyways of Puerto Rico's most infamous shantytown. La Perla is only a steps away from the wealth and colonial beauty of San Juan but might as well be worlds away. Enjoy this trip around Puerto Rico and into the favela of La Perla.

      The funny part about this is you're the one using unacceptable language and talking crazy. You are projecting my dear. My videos are filmed from a place of love and respect for all. That's why I have no problems in Chicago, LA, PHL when I have filmed there. Something about me or this channel triggers you. That's okay. Figure it out and fix it.

    Thanks for this video, as a Puerto Rican I really enjoyed it. I have never been inside la Perla but I am from Bayamón and the things I’ve seen here makes me think this is the most dangerous city in PR.
    It’s always the forgotten projects far out of sight from tourists, some areas are known for shooting at police and it has happened where they shoot at unfamiliar cars, mistaking them for enemies… lots of towns next to San Juan have this hood, I advice to avoid these areas at all costs.

    We wanted to visit EL MORRO so we started walking and when saw what we thought was the entrance to EL MORRO it looked kind of scary which is weird coming from NYC so we asked this police officer instead before going in and I'll never forget his answer.
    "If you go in there, you'll never come out alive".
    Instead he told us how to get to our destination and to this day I thank him for it.

    Rafael Cordero y Molina and his sister Celestina Cordero where more than educators, they where ahead of their time. Their parents had been slaves yet they believed in the integration of all people regardless of the color of their skin, Cordero's school taught many important puertoricans including Roman Baldorioty de Castro, Alejandro Tapia and Jose Julian Acosta. Their respective schools where also essentially the first public schools in Puerto Rico as they did not charge nor where they linked to the church.

La Perla is not a tourist destination where people go for the food , the museums , to buy a souvenir to bring home or to take a selfie to put it up on Instagram . it's a huge illicit drug open market .and you should be honest with people about that ..that's all I am saying !

    Being born and raised in Puerto Rico I see how dangerous things on the island have become over the years but that is not to say every place on the island is dangerous and should be avoided. I currently live in Florida and every time I go back to Puerto Rico to visit my family I ask my abuelo to take me to La Perla so I can take pictures but my mom refuses to let him take me. She keeps insisting that I will get killed and that La Perla is not what is used to be. I just want to visit the filiming areas and murals used when they filmed Despacito. My mom says the producers had to ask permission from the drug and gang cartels before being allowed to film the music video there. I have no clue if that is true but I see pictures online where tourists go and visit that area all the time and it looks safe enough to me.

    Good video Mr. Lambert. However, Puerto Rican citizens are NOT migrants or immigrants when they move to the States. Since 1941, anyone born in Puerto Rico is considered a US citizen.
    There are a few exceptions for persons born berween 1899 and 1941. Unfortunately, Puero Ricans on the island cannot vote in a presidential election, but they cn if they move to the States.
    So, our brothers and sisters on the island are US citizens!

    • @KeenanLambert198
      @KeenanLambert198  3 месяца назад

      Hi Diva, anyone who moves from place to place is a migrant. Especially if we are referring to trends… So…. In the 50’s-80’s when white families were moving out of the core cities (NYC, Chicago, Detroit) and into the suburbs, the were apart of the “white flight” migration and thus migrants…

    • @diva70smusic
      @diva70smusic 3 месяца назад +1

      @KeenanLambert198 I can agree that the word "migrant" refers to people moving from place to place, seeking work, or a better life. You are correct there.
      I am guite familiar with mass migration within the US, especially when blacks left the south en masse, to seek better jobs and opportunities, and to escape overt racism to the north and midwest.
      I just challenged the use of the word regarding Puerto Ricans. Many people, even so-called educated ones, think Puerto Ricans are not US citizens. Some are told to go "back to their country." Many experience racism and discrimination.
      So, you are judicious in applying the word "migrant" to all groups of people, then we are cool. I am not Puerto Rican, but I love the island and my friends who live there. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your insight 🫶🏽!!
