I stayed on a resort in which many if not a 99.9% of the paintings being sold as native paintings were work of arts of people with Haitians ancestry yet they're hardly given any credit.
Pena Gomez was ridiculed because of his Haitian link, but just not Trujillo because like Hitler he managed to convince many he had no trace of Haitian blood in his veins. ANd Sammy well he's totally ignored his Haitian background. What kind of a society is that to deny such obvious facts about those who've contributed so much to it. ALmost to the brink of self hatred, how much longer can you hide it.

First.Where did you find the info on Sammy being Haitian? .Second , why are you so obsessed on having Dominicans attribute major figures to Haiti as if they owed Haiti anything .What? now all famous black Dominicans are Haitian? ,please stay off that bandwagon. You should research the whole history behind the this issue(its been discussed a million times on these boards) .you should also know that 85% of Dominicans in DR would approve deporting all Haitians , obviously they are not welcomed here and never been have for that matter .Dominicans want to dis-associate themselves with Haiti completely for many reasons .Even the people you siad were Haitian didnt and dont want anything to do with Haiti or being Haitian . How do you expect a country to embrace its traditional enemy with influencing its culture ,when in fact, the influences are very minimal .You sound like one of those "we should unite the island people" ,which are sickening ,to both Haitians and Dominicans .If you were a proud Haitian you wouldnt give crap whether haitians are embraced in Dominican culture , becuase i know many proud Haitians and they can give two sh**s about DR and what we think. As if Dominicans are liked in Haiti,this issue goes both ways (i dont mean gay).
