Amid the unrest in the US by death African-American George Floyd in police custody, Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin spoke about the danger he feels for living in the United States as a Latino.
“I am a Latino man, homosexual and married to an Arab man, living in the US I mean, I am a threat to these people, wherever you see it. I live this every day” confessed the singer in an interview with journalist Enrique Santos for lasopa.com.
The musician acknowledges that he is not as “exposed as everyone”, living isolated and “quiet” at home, going “from here to work” and back, and having his studio at home. “But we live here. And we listen to the stories. And we feel,” he said, later detailing that, “if we decide to take the car and go across the desert and suddenly stop for coffee at a ‘dinner’, it can be dangerous. “
The Puerto Rican star also indicated that, although he did not grow up thinking that the United States “it was like this”, in reality, “it has always been like this”, with the difference that now “we have cameras and we see it“Now we as citizens turn on the phone, we record the injustice and that’s why we get angry, because now we are seeing it,” he explained.
