Dominicans are futuristic with their pandering to white supremacy. Disgusting
:
Im 100% African and Im not darkskin. Once again you can find native Africans in all shades of brown. Even as an African it is ignorant to make the statement that all Africans have a certain appearance . There is no such thing as looking African. My girlfriend has a % of white ancestry in her and is darker than me and has kinkier hair. The African comes in every shade.

Stating that you're dominican addresses your ethnicity but doesn't address your race.
Stating that you're mixed only partly answers the question.
Just say you're biracial.

I hurt your feelings? What did i say that was a lie.
A simple yes or no answer had you sweating buckets so you had to post smileys.
You can't even say if you're black or not, how sad is that lol?

Fulani, Igbo, and Ashanti are a few ethnicities that produce light brown individuals who are genetically more 'African' than any AA.
As an aside, I hate the phrase 'you don't look African' makes me want to choke the shyt out of people.
i thought mixed implied that i was more than 1 race
u dudes and this race obsession got ya talking in circles
It's a tool of hate, I'll agree.
But Dominicans don't hate Haitians because of their race. Chechs don't have Slovs because they're white. Sunnis don't hate Shias because they're brown. Etc...

"We are the Fury"
The "historical reasons" Dominicans give for hating Haitians is bullshyt. As far as I can tell the Haitians did nothing wrong except go to war against cacs and their like. The Dominicans used anti-black libel to justify massacring the Haitians:
The Haitian occupation of Santo Domingo (1822-1844), although passively accepted by most of the population (and even celebrated by lower-class groups), was strongly rejected by the elites, who lost their privileges and administrative jobs to the occupation armies. Dominican elites further resented being at the mercy of individuals whom they considered inferior because of their skin color and social status. The great majority of Haitian army officers were ex-slaves themselves, with little or no education, and lacked the finesse and manners that elites regarded so highly. During the period of the Haitian occupation, many of these elite families left the country, a fact deplored by Joaquín Balaguer, who commented that Santo Domingo lost most of its "best" families at that time (Balaguer 1984, 59-60).
When the Dominican Republic became independent in 1844, elites portrayed this event as the realization of their efforts to maintain Hispanic-Catholic culture intact in the face of the Haitian occupation. As they stated in the independence manifesto of the Dominican Republic, "due to the difference of customs and the rivalry that exists between ones and the others [referring to Haiti and the Dominican Republic], there will never be a perfect union nor harmony" (Despradel 1974, 86).
With the Haitians out of the scene, Dominican elites regained their privileged social position and their high-level administrative posts.

In other words, the Dominicacs are still mad the "inferior" black Haitians ruled over them.

You wouldnt have.
Dominicans blend into St. Croix like everybody else. You came in late and left early so you didnt join in for one reason or another.
Every Dominican I know blends in to where we all become USVI peoples.
i thought mixed implied that i was more than 1 race
