What's up with Dominicans who think they are white and not black?

[beanz]

look brehs, this is my grandfather, and thats my mother, his daughter, to the right. you would call him black, as he obviously is, and u would call her white. neither looks mixed. my dad, first on the left, is obviously mixed. my grandma also looks mixed. why do we all have to classify each other by complexion? this is what i dont understand.

look at this sampling of teens from my town in DR just chilling. you can see every shade in this pic

this is an old pic of me, my brother to the right and my pops and uncle to the left

this is my whole dads side minus the groom who is cuban and puerto rican

and this is my whole moms side

there are predominantly black ppl in my fam, predominantly white ppl in my fam, but the majority are mixed. therefore, we dont claim ANY race. we just claim DR.

please tell me ya understand at least a little bit.

You as a Dominican think you can speak for Black Americans and how we feel

Going by that logic. You as a Black American shouldn't speak for and tell Dominicans how they feel either.

Some of you dudes really got no common sense.

I'm reading this dumbass nikka Malik's post and going

You dudes got issues.

race is much more objective than patriotism

This is why you Dominican nikkas get accused of self-hatred. This moron had a nerve to be in this thread arguing only to talk greasy about African women the next day

When we say Africans we default thinking of west/central african because that's who we descended from. So on that basis, I'm co signing this, West/central African women ARE ugly. And don't give me none of that brainwashed shyt cause i love black women i take the average black women in america over the average white women every day, Just compare fine ass Dominican(mixed) women & ugly ass (w african)Haitian women yall know i aint lying.

Ethiopians look good tho

saying a particular ethnicity of black women is less attractive than another other isn't 'self hate' you fukking idiot. You might be familiar with that doe given that it is commonly found in black men who lust over non african racially ambiguous women and sport them in their avatars on forums.

Where are all these Dominicans you are running into who deny that Africans are a part of Dominican History?

Where? Because I'm Dominican. I've been around Dominicans my whole life. And I've actually been all over the goddamn country. Not your typical island resorts.
So where are all these African-denying Dominicans you Coli dipsh*ts are meeting?
Because I've never met one, ever.

Are you saying your experience > hers?

Dominican

“African-Americans are much more candid about hair and color. Look at our Spanish-language channels! It’s a tired European notion of what beauty is. Dominicans aren’t comfortable with calling themselves Black. I am, but my own partner, who’s Colombian and Ecuadorian, isn’t comfortable with me doing so. I relish the debate. I’m in a place of acceptance of what people want to call themselves.”
