Yeah, show me on the east coast other people in the years of 1985-1987 who sold crack in large numbers. I don't want to see anything about freebase either,but I still doubt you will find anyone on that because freebase was DEFINITELY for people with money.Not what makes me feel good, I'll admit that Dominicans sold coke no problem and sure they did it in Washington Heights, which is where the largest population of Dominicans has historically lived here but you dropped a article along side a narrative like if they were responsible with flooding NY with Crack
Should I start posting article of other drug king pins from the 80s? And see which race dominates , and like I said before Rick Ross was bringing in more coke than anybody else

say breh I just learned Dominicans are to blame for the crack epidemic
you know cuz Cubans, Colombians, Jamaicans and haitians etc never brought in no drugs in the 80s
O yea and this guy never existed

Puerto Ricans are fakkits and losers.. They don't even have a country, those cowards.
^^ Puerto Ricans.. Trust me!!
Not sure if you've met pr's from the island, but these people are flat out racist..

Soooo is this a bad time to vacation to DR?
Had a trip planned in August.
They sold coke, and crack came after it started popping uptown.breh are you serious right now, so supreme team never existed? Rich Porter? Az? Alpo? That's just off the top of my head
@The HONORABLE SKJ come drop some knowledge
I've stayed quiet on the "DR is violating Haitian human rights" thing for a long time because I wanted to avoid a confrontation with other Dominicans, but now that my newsfeed is starting to get filled with foreigners who are entirely ignorant about what is truly happening all while linking to ridiculous articles like these ones and talking about boycotting the DR since we're apparently racist scum I've about had it.
No, apartheid is not happening as I've heard a handful claim. No, people's human rights aren't being violated. No, Haitians aren't being dragged out of their houses at gun point, put on a bus, taken to the border, and dropped off. It's 2015. Have we not learned the media lies and sensationalizes as it pleases? Please educate yourselves with more than a blurry Facebook picture accompanied by a poorly written caption begging you to share before you start spewing idiocy and calling for the boycott of a country that for close to a century has done nothing but basically carry one of the poorest nations in the world on its metaphorical back.
I actually saw some white guy - who I confirmed has never been to DR or studied Dominican history - bring up Jim Crow laws trying to compare this to the situation in DR right now. What a pile of crap. Putting a country trying to enforce immigration laws in the same sentence as racist, segregationist laws is both absurd and ignorant. The DR has a population of roughly 10,000,000. Last reputable source I read claimed the estimated number of illegal Haitians in the DR is about 3,000,000. Think of any other country in the world where a nation of that size wouldn't take action to control the influx of mostly poor, illegal immigrants. Go on. Name me some. Fairness of global immigration laws aside, deportations of illegal aliens happen every day in the US, in Europe, in Asia, in Canada, in Australia, etc. Do I see a call for boycotting and tabloid-like articles being written about it? No. No one can pick on the big guys in the playground but a small island in the Caribbean is apparently an easy target for international bullying.
Here are the facts: for almost 100 years Haitians have pretty much had free access to the DR. Our borders are a joke. People come and go as they please. Just like in the US, this steady stream of undocumented humans has helped the creation of dirt cheap labor that has obviously led to the exploitation of Haitians by some unscrupulous individuals and corporations. True. No one will argue with you there. But for the most part Haitians and Dominicans live in peace and share the space. We trust them to live in our houses, cooking our food, taking care of our children, or working as our security guards. Having had first hand experience with this for the first 20 years of my life I can guarantee you the real part of the story is that we co-exist much like illegal Latinos live amongst Americans in the US without any major drama regardless of what right-wing Republicans may believe. As Dominicans, we appreciate the services they render for us and admit the DR would be worse off if they all suddenly sauntered back to their country and Haitians are grateful for the opportunity of having a better life than they would back in Haiti so they keep their heads down and work hard day in and day out. Cliffnotes version: we're respectful to and of each other.
A couple of years ago the government decided immigration laws needed to be enacted. Every developed country has them, why shouldn't we be allowed to? The way that it worked for decades is that anyone could just come to the DR, live, and work without so much as a single piece of paper having to be compulsorily filed. This included Americans, Canadians, Europeans, and Asians. What did the government do? EVERY foreign national living in the Dominican Republic had to bring ONE piece of official documentation proving identity and bam...you have yourself legal Dominican Residency. They gave people a little over a year to do so. The year came and went but the vast majority of Haitians had not registered themselves. Clearly this wasn't because the process was restrictive or complicated. It was actually quite simple and welcoming. Well, turns out the Haitian government/consulates started charging exorbitant prices to issue birth certificates and other forms of ID. Corrupt Haitian officials make it basically impossible for their citizens to obtain the one document they need to register as legal residents in the Dominican Republic but the DR is the bad guy in the show since apparently the truth is not as entertaining to write. It is not our responsibility to police their country and their corruption. All the Dominican government cares about is that most illegal aliens in the country didn't follow the one simple law they established so now they must act. There is talk about mass deportations and no one knows if that is just a rumor created in the middle of the smear campaign going on against the DR right now or if it is true, but in my opinion if they happen they are entirely justified.
The Dominican Republic has helped Haiti more than any other foreign nation ever has. Full stop. End of story. I will fight you on this no matter how many shoddy facts you throw at me. We've done our part for a century, we gave them a year to do theirs. They didn't comply, then they must go. The fact of the matter is, the DR is a poor country that can't realistically support and adopt a separate, democratic, and autonomous nation just because we happen to share an island. They mismanaged their side so they have to deal with the consequences. This isn't racism, classism, or whatever other enraging word I've seen used in the last few months. This is simply common fukking sense.
