It seems Latinos are under attack from all sides these days. The White House thinks we're animals, Starbucks calls us beaners and some pendejo racist lawyer in New York City just can't bear to hear the loveliness that is Castellano — unless, of course, it's in his law practice. There you can spic it up to your hearts content. All billable hours, ya know. Be sure to hold onto to something sturdy because Mike Robles and Pedro Rafael Rosado are ready to shake the foundation!

Amara La Negra has spent her entire life in show business and she is singularly focused on becoming the LatinX equivalent of Beyoncé. The breakout star of VH1's 'Love and Hip Hop Miami' spoke to us just before the debut of the new reality series and she was candid about her struggles and her passion for performing. Also on the episode, Mike and Pedro discuss Kanye West's latest controversial comments, Michelle Wolf's performance at the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and flying chanclas in San Antonio.

Mike and Pedro have returned from the wilderness and are prepared to drop all-new episodes of the show. We are fully aware that we angered a lot of people in previous installments, and we'd like to say we won't do that anymore, but the truth is even in this brief conversation we probably offended one or more of you out there. We just can't help it. Saddle up vaqueros cuz...WE'RE BACK!

It didn’t help matters that she was forced to deal with trolls hurling insults at her on Twitter. In a long and emotional blog post, the comedian laid bare how she felt about the lack of support her self-titled sitcom … Continue reading Stay Strong Cristela Alonzo →

It was a dramatic scene. Marilyn Mosby stood at a podium festooned with microphones that also sported a large emblem emblazoned with the scales of justice and the words “Office of the State’s Attorney for Baltimore City”. She was there to announce charges of manslaughter and assault against 6 police officers accused of murdering 25 year old Freddie Gray. Ms. Mosby was … Continue reading Boxers, Politicians, and ‘Thugs’. Oh My! →

I never gave the devastation surrounding me as a kid a second thought. It seemed perfectly natural to have abandoned buildings and rubble strewn lots as playgrounds. The idea that I was living in a blighted and dangerous ghetto that could easily pass for any number of ruined European cities during World War II never once dawned … Continue reading Will ‘The Get Down’ on Netflix Be a Huge Letdown For Latinos? →

Mexico really does get blamed for everything. Ebola? It’s flooding into the U.S. from our southern border. Terrorism? Apparently ISIS, Al Qaeda and even the Houthi militants are streaming over from down Mexico way by the hundreds as I type this. Illegal drugs, guns, and undocumented aliens? Check, check and check. Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz? Yeah, … Continue reading Don’t Blame Mexico For Ted Cruz, Blame Canada →

‘The Real’ is a bland, vacuous syndicated talk show broadcast primarily on Fox affiliates and is hosted by five women of color. (Sad that a decade and a half into the 21st century this is still something so unique we see it as a triumph but we’ll take it). Finally a show that refuses to perpetuate negative stereotypes but instead … Continue reading Next On ‘The Real’: Brownface Minstrelsy →

Despite the long relationship the U.S. has enjoyed with the “Enchantress of the Caribbean”, Puerto Rico and its residents on the island and on the mainland remain a mystery to other Americans. As a public service, Robles & Rosado will help clear up any confusion for you and save you the time and exertion necessary to Google the … Continue reading Remember Folks, Puerto Rico Is America →
