Serious question, what's DR's education system like? shyt, I doubt most of these Afro-Latino countries teach any relevant history to their particular diaspora?
the bolded makes you seem needy of them and I find it pathetic.
why do some of you black americans like kissing up to lighter skinned races in this way? it's like the more someone hates you guys...you are drawn more and more to them...do you guys think the world doesn't see this?

Of course we get it.I am from there, although i was raised here , i studied both here there (long story) but to answer your question most of the "history" there when your young starts off will small talks about the natives from the island, them switches to the Spanish/Columbus invasion , although Columbus is HIGHLY regarded there, there is even a temple of sorts built for him where his remains are , slavery/Africans really isn't talked about in any important sense , them there is acknowledgement of a stronger french/African presence in the Haitian part of the island , after that what there REALLY big on is the liberation of the island from Haitian "rule", Haitians held the full island for almost about 25 years ,and that is pretty much the only topic that is talked about and allowed to be discussed in depth around that time is where they start to instill the whole Dominican pride/Haitian animosity in kids. That is pretty much all you learn about from 1st-8th grade .
H.S/College there is again deeper discussion on what happened politically after the island was liberated from the Haitians and the time "Trujillio" ruled, who IMO is one of the most brutal dictators to rule the western hemisphere EVER but rarely talked bout , google him if u never heard of him, but yea thats what is talked about in later years
there isn't much discussion on race per se if thats what you want to know , contrary to what u read on the coli most Dominicans will quickly and proudly accept there AFRICAN roots, but they don't see themselves as the same "type" of Africans as Haitians or AA if that makes sense.
Cotdamn!Of course we get it.
The Spanish were only ordering the upgraded africans slaves from the menu. Only the ones with V6 engines and all bells and whistles. The 3 cylinder african slaves were left for the cheap american and french slave masters

forgive him, he's a black liberal/marxist, they are brainwashed to look to other people for help
When are you going stop following me around?
Nah Doggie. I lived in CostaRica for a while (about 8 months for work) and been to Panama. Black Costa Ricans aren't like that and neither are Panamanians. They take pride in their latino heritage but in no way shape or form did I detect any "superiority complex" from them. And I wasn't there playing tourist. My work was in San Jose but I've ventured out throughout Limon(where most of the blacks are from), Jaco, Manuel Antonio, Siquierres and many other small towns where blacks live.unfortunately that is the mind frame of almost all Latinos of African descent across the Caribbean and south america
