i noticed dominicans seem to be embracing their blackness alot more nowadays

 

[You Win Perfect]

They not FBA though.

You not tired of butting into black people business?

 

[hu3ypdadon]

Black ppl have to unite all around the globe to save the earth

I honestly didn't think too many Dominicans went to college. I thought they were more like Puerto Ricans, mainly blue collar.

They are blue collar but John Jay is a criminal justice school and a lot of Dominicans are in the police force.

Gonna buy the song to support


To answer your question, my theory is whatever is happening in the US it trickles down.

African Americans fight for rights, BLM, and Hollywood Black representation that AA have fought for (I.e.Black Panther) Etc have mainstreamed and influence other Blacks in the world through social media.

It has happened in the past...60s....but for whatever reason it reverts back to

Disagree.
This country teaches and promotes that America is the center of the world, so people begin to believe that.

Every country in Western hemisphere has had internal cultural movements embracing Africa. Usually through literature and art first.
Afro-DRs have been challenging anti-Black racism in their culture for decades.

As you've mentioned, in all countries it "catches on" as a trend , and then the general public reverts back to old stances and views about skin color/hair/heritage. For a segment of people, the embrace of who they are was permanent.

The global reaction to George Floyd built momentum to anti-Black, anti-police brutality movements around the world. Gives a spotlight to those speaking out about it.But you can find DR artists from 5, 10, 20, 30 years ago expressing African pride in songs.

he’s not incorrect;

Both Jay and Beyonce very visibly have some white admixture in their genes (like majority of african americans do)

in the Caribbean, theres alot more black people who have 100% african dna (and also alot of mixed of course). The line wasnt a diss, just saying he (the Dominican) should take pride in his blackness seeing as how strongly african his genes are.

All the Black people in the world and he had to mention one of us. He can be more African but Black Americans made “Black” a concept to be proud of, nobody can blacker” than us. fukk these maricóns.

"However, significant population differences exist, with the Dominicans and Puerto Ricans showing the highest levels of African ancestry (41.8% and 23.6% African, SDs 16% and 12%), whereas Mexicans and Ecuadorians show the lowest levels of African ancestry (5.6% and 7.3% African, SDs 2% and 5%) and the highest Native American ancestries (50.1% and 38.8% Native American, SDs 13% and 10%)."

that’s just not true. yea, more slaves were brought to the Caribbean and South America than the usa, but we mixed just as much as our brothers and sisters in the usa.

Beyoncé is creole and could have just as easily been Haitian. I have some Haitian family and dated Haitians. A lot of them, if they don’t look outright Dominican, they have mixed features.

even my dad, who’s not Haitian and is dark skin, has mixed features.

In my family, the darker ppl tend to have the straighter hair.

u can tell with men like my dad cause he keeps his head shaved, but he’s a dark skin dude with the most Dominican eyebrows and we not Spanish at all.



Aaawww man, I’m down bad now thinkin bout that light skin Haitian chick with the period ponytail, track star body, and super fatty that u used to mess wit

I’ll say that’s a difference. Sometimes lightskin african americans have straighter hair, but it’s the opposite in the Caribbean. Dark skin ppl have straight hair and light skin ppl have nappy hair. Prolly due to the black Indian influence. In the Caribbean, u either have black Indian (from India) or red indian meaning native in u.


Black on my dads side, red on my mom. That’s Caribbean miscegenation politics for u.

Sounds great but shows you really don't know us, as there are 44 million of us.
We have every combination and look that y'all have plus more....more people, longer history, more space, more contact with different people, with less acknowledgement of mixture because we come from a HYPODESCENT culture.
Those mixed people in your family aren't even considered black under that retarded HYPERDESCENT culture you have in your majority "black" home countries, where people Will Smith's complexion would be considered something "else".
We know BLACK is LITERAL there.
