Why do Blacks from other parts of the world feel a need to tell Dominicans how to identify?

Dominicans are a mixed race group of people and that is why their answers to what they are vary.

A lot of yall just sound disappointed that they don't want to identify WITH YOU.
man i look more watered down than most of the ones that deny their blackness..

Regardless, it's the reasons behind the denial that is the problem.

Its all about family and pride unfortunately breh , do you associates yourself with the cultures and norms you were raised with or do you associate yourselves with a the cultures and norms of people who are seen as second class citizens in this country? 9 out of 10 times people will go with what they know, not with that is right.

I associate myself with a mixture of the people who do the positive things I grew up with, my education level, and how I live. I don't just hang with somebody because we come from the same place. That was some h.s. shyt.

I understand why people do what they do, but if you know you need help in this world to make it, why isolate yourself, and make it harder to make it, when you can mingle with others who have been here longer, and can tell you what to look out for so you can make it?. I understand believing white is right playing a part, but god gave you some common sense, why not use it?. If you had the courage, and knowledge, to leave your country for something better, why not use it when you get here?.

Off-topic but the question was asked in this thread:

I'm from a white mom and black dad, and I've lived my whole life in white America. I identify as a black man. :manny:

I was born in florida and have been to haiti where my parents were born about 8 times. I consider myself Haitian and black, granted there are a lot of Europeans and some caucasians in my family line. I'm pretty light skinned and wouldn't strike you as being Haitian off first impression and even when I tell people I'm black they usually retort with something along the lines of "you're not really black though" because of the way I talk and who I hang out with lol. :salute: to toussaint l'ouverture, sweet mickey, wyclef, ti-vice, black alex, diri jon jon, griot, etc though

:whoa:

Why was I summoned? I don't fux with coli race debates, friend.

c00ns get the :manny: from me. They're not doing anything to me, let them hate themselves or let them be what they think they are. Only thing that bothers me are Haitians that think they can put down other blacks because of a glorious history of being the first to inspire rebellion and help put an end to slavery in the Western hemisphere. That's not a good look. Black shouldn't have tiers.

I remember there was thread here about Haitians and someone here shared a story that growing up there parents always reminded them that there were different they were Haitian , not "black" like them "pants sagging" Americans,hopefully someone can share if they have stories like this, not the first time i have heard that , have heard it more from Africans more than carribbean folks though

You would catch me saying something like this though. My family always is sure to distinguish ourselves as a more tasteful people. Kinda like the chris rock disambiguation of blacks and nikkas

Identify with me?

All I want them to do is acknowledge when they have African ancestry and stop trying to downplay it.

You know damn well that they try to downplay it so dont come to me with some bullshyt.

Whoa hay que tomarlo con calma papi. No soy africano de ninguna manera, yo soy una gran piel oscura llamado Indio. Yo no sé por qué los negros no lo veo. Me parece muy ofensivo que me llamó negro

:russ:

shyt is odd though. Dominicans darker then Laz Alonso claiming that they're not black? :rudy:

Then what are you? A dark Indian? I mean if you got Afro features, you're a black person in my eyes.

This is why I stay away from race talk shyt is complex when it really shouldn't be. My mother is what you call a "grimelle" (Haitian redbones) she still considers herself black. My whole fam don't play that game. Some of them don't like the AA term but they still consider themselves black folk.
