Dominican brehs, how did Dominicans feel when Sammy Sosa bleached his skin?

[Blackout]

we refer to ourselves as dominican no matter what complexion we are and we dont like being referred to by race. is that really so wrong?

i would understand if u had a dominican tell u "im not black im euro-dominican" but even white dominicans will hit u with the stop it slime im not white im dominican.

its just a cultural thing idk why its so hard to comprehend.

Just say that you dont like being referred to by race instead of denying that your black.

u guys really that sensitive?

 

[Blackout]

Is not that I like one label over the other Mister...I enough pride in who I am, where I am from and where I came from to just say I am Dominican...that word alone says everything.

Im cool with that. Its just that its factually wrong to say that black = African American when race and ethnicity are two different things and is offensive to the real Africans and not us AAs who are descendants.

Im just about facts.

Saying black = AA is factually wrong. One is race and one is nationality and itsnt the same category.

But hey if you want to believe a lie that black then stay delusional.

Do y'all understand the fact that in some places, it's nationality before race?

she wasnt saying that like its a fact, she was explaining a perception. we are not alone in this perception. in fact, im sure many black children growing up have had to learn this distinction at one point or another.

Of course you are done instead of realizing that race and ethnicity arent the same thing.

That perception is wrong no matter who has it.

Race and Ethnicity arent the same thing.

let me put it in baby steps for you:

1. Black = AA = informal Spanish = los morenos = formal Spanish = afro Americano

There are black Dominicans too lol.

Our ancestors aka black people existed before AAs so what your saying makes it look like before AAs there were no black people.

Such terrible logic.

There is no argument. They are wrong. Its that simple.

Make all the faces you want. I know its hard going against things that you were raised to believe.
