First of all, I got Dominican peeps in my circle, so you would and never will hear any of that negative or derogatory speak that tends to pollute these type of threads. I don't condone it, you won't see me dapping up those posts (in fact I had to undap some that even went there....cause that's not cool in my book) you won't see me saying stuff like that.
And if you say this is not a human rights crisis...tell me this. When was there ever a time where a country sought to deport 250,000 of its citizens based on their ancestry not going back less than a hundred years? Nothing really comes close to me except Nazi, Germany and the Holocaust...and I'm pretty sure no one wants a repeat of that very bleak time in history.
What would you call this then? You're essentially sending almost 300,000 people to a country they have never been to and are not citizens of. If it does happen...you've essentially created a group of people without amnesty or refuge. They're not Haitian citizens so they can't benefit from citizenship laws, health care, and they've been excommunicated/deported from the DR so they can't benefit from any of that stuff there including education, jobs. Basically, they would be people with NO country. They might essentially scramble to other places but will be shut down by those countries' respective governments. It's not just happening to black people in Haiti, but blacks who have no choice but to leave wartorn countries that have been nearly devastated from the after effects of colonialsm in African countries from the Israeli government, countries in Western Europe, and more I can't think of right now.
It's a human rights crisis because it's setting a dangerous precedent. If the DR can just up and decide that black people aren't citizens there anymore...what's to stop another country trying to maintain white hegemony or seeking to get rid of it's "undesirables" from doing the same? It's 100% rooted in racism.
hard.
