I'm talking about self-hating blacks hating blacks.
But what those self-hating blacks do not understand is that by claiming Dominican but not claiming black, they're acquiescing to white supremacy.
The root of the DR/Haiti beef is that Haitians came through and stomped the buildings of Hispaniola and drove the Spanish out in the process. Self-hating Dominicans would rather see themselves as Spanish (read: white) than ever admit they're black and view Spain--not Africa--as the motherland despite the fact that 70-80% of their ancestry comes from Africa.
Cultural identity is a red herring.
...and there it is!
I'm a BLACK Haitian-American.
I have no problem claiming my race.
Do you?
I am serious. It is very much the trend in TLR.
People can be mixed as all hell, but if the African ancestory isn't praised above all, there is a problem, self hate, etc.
In America we see race. Us vs them. Color vs Color. Around the world they are far more about culture and Nationalism.
Black Americans are people without a country, as in a lot of what America stands for happened to be born out of our suffering. It is ingrained in us
to see things one way. However, countryless brethren who only think about racism can't possibly fathom how nationalism >>>>>> to most of the world.
We can't put our lens in their glasses. The prescriptions are wrong. But hey I guess we have all the answers, right?
stop quoting me cause you are not persuading no one. and yes, its MY country
You about a dumb ass a bytch. I just said you're in denial. Who am I trying to convince if you're in denial? That's for you to deal with. DR is an inherently racist country. Idgaf how you feel about that. That's what I'm saying based on the times I've been there and the plethora of primary source documentation confirming this point. Ion need to convince your corny ass of shyt. I already know. Foh
Im not ignoring that. Its just that despite you saying all of this they still have power and influence in DR.conveniently cut out the rest of the post breh why not
ignore the fact none of those dudes aren't actual dominicans but euro trash like italians and spaniards that took advantage of a 3rd world country
Im not ignoring that. Its just that despite you saying all of this they still have power and influence.

and i understand that but not everybody does. i didnt understand the distinction til i was well into my teens.
but no dominican will deny that we are descendants of slaves. in most cases more so than the master.
There are poor whites in the US too and there are rich black people in the US too and we have black politicians so how does that prove that there isnt a racial or colorism issue there?never said they didnt.
my initial statement on that argument was that poor dominicans get treated like shyt despite color. purely white dominicans(which are rare) dont have any leg up just because they white if they from some shythole town just like black dominicans. i know because i have white and black relatives in DR and guess what? they ALL left dr to come here for a better life. the white ones didnt say "nah we should stay we white we run this country".
the only people with advantages are people born into money.
guess who that includes? rich haitian students. -gasp-
Yes and yes.You talking about white ppl being the riches in the nation?
Couldn't that be said for almost any country with a history of colonialism? The white or lighter ppl are the wealthiest
