Self hate is a terrible disease. Unfortunately most dominicans are too ashamed/brainwashed to admit this.

I got a friend who's Dominican who acknowledges his African ancestry but doesn't consider himself "black" because to him that's an American cultural classification. He considers himself Dominican.

In the 11th grade I had a Dominican social studies teacher who DID consider herself black, one day she said some shyt in class like "us black people need to stick together" the whole class erupted in laughter and started clowning her for trying to "be black." She was so embarassed, I felt sorry for her.

While there are isolated cases of Dominicans that consider themselves "black" its obvious to anyone who takes a cursory look at the culture of Dominican Republic as well as the contentious history between itself and its Haitian neighbors, can see that Dominicans have been trying to distance themselves from their black heritage for some time now. Unfortunately this ultimately results in them looking quite ridiculous in the process.

The nature of color and race is something that is quite pervasive all throughout Latin America and the Carribean for that matter. We can thank the demonic Europeans for this.

Dominican Republic is still a beautiful country nonetheless, with a beautiful people. Thanks in large part to the high concentration of black features its people have.

Why would I need to watch the video to know about a particular opinion of a culture that I'm a part of? It's not like I need to go far to get an understanding of what Dominicans thought then and now. You can't relate. I wouldn't expect you to. I could break it down for you, but clearly there isn't a counter that would like since you're comfortable with the opinion that you have. It's not as if anything I say will have like :ohhh: I understand now. It's not something you're interested in.

There's a deep rooted history that goes back 200 years that is the source of this shyt. It's a history, that with education, has become more outdated, and that's evident by the Dominicans that live here. Again, I wouldn't expect you to know, realize, or understand that. What I don't understand is why this is such an interesting subject to you. You got a term paper on this or something?
Yes, only Dominicans can possibly relate to being brainwashed for hundreds of years to think that people with light skin are superior to people with darker skin. That's just a Dominican thing. You people who try to tell other people what they should or shouldn't discuss are the worse. Shut the fukk up.

Man I tell you the whole thing is appalling. There is something about self racists that makes my blood boil than a regular racist.

This is especially the case with the women. I do not know why some of them are still stuck in this "Light skin"=Pure and "Dark Skin=Evil" mentality.

That "light skin is good and dark skin is bad" belief is stupid and outdated and anybody who believes that is an idiot. It's like believing that the earth is flat. :dead:

If you have African heritage and deny or downplay it then you are also an idiot.

The stupidity in that comment is appalling. I'm not sure he is aware if how stupid he really is. He is a victim if the stupidity pushed on him from his parents and peers.

I feel sorry for him. :manny:
