I understand what you are saying and I am telling you these men were killed off...there are a few but not enough to fight...the rest are concerned with how to get ahead in life by any means necessary as in personal goals instead of a national one.
Dominican brehs, how did Dominicans feel when Sammy Sosa bleached his skin?

What are you chopos even talking about? Yeah, we "Dominicans in DR" are very proud of our roots. In DR black Dominicans know they're black and are proud of their African ancestry, and know the difference between race and nationality. That's why people like Sergio Vargas calls himself "negro de villa", not "dominican de villa".

A black Dominican saying I am not black is wrong. Thats what it equals to.
They are black. No matter what they think saying that means.
It looks like them saying something thats factually wrong is accepted among most Dominicans based on you and her trying to justify it.
Educate your people dude.

The MJ face is not me being emotional. I've been speaking the truth as I know it and see you and 7Revo (who I will classify as being on the opposite side of this debate) doing the same. I'm just noticing that it's hard for us to respectfully disagree. As someone who knows the history of this world and this country I can understand (albeit less than you can) where you're coming from, but just because we don't agree doesn't make any of us right or wrong. Like you said before, the big issue is the system put in place by white supremacy, not how we choose to identify and call ourselves. Cultural differences are a motherfukker.
are u pretending to be a dominican in DR? chopo?

forget it dude.
Again, where did I make the argument 7revo is making? I asked why do latins claim race isn't important in latin countries like it is here, yet they are always at the bottom? Everything after that was replies dealing with the topic I brought up. If you can find me post something different, please do it.
It's over for us

No, I live in the US, but I was raised in Dominican Republic in a town called Baitoa in the Cibao region. How about you?

Look up the definitions of race and ethnicity and then come back to me.

It isn't wrong. It might be something being lost in translation but a Dominican will identify as Dominican. That doesn't mean he won't acknowledge his skin color or African ancestry, it just means he is first and foremost in his mind Dominican. It really shouldn't be hard to understand. shyt, my family is from D.R. but I will always identify as a New Yorker before anything. It's just that on a grander scale. I'm still Dominican and that won't change, and if you ask me to trace my heritage I'll be glad to, but I'm from Queens.
I get you mean the ones who deny their African ancestry altogether but that way of thinking is almost out the door and it's a little ignorant to think all black latinos who don't identify initially as black do it because they want to be as far away from African as possible.
This is the weakest argument in this thread....
