Fuego,

Its me again.. Listen, i would like to know what type of blood you have....I am not the one to impose that 1 drop rule that the US imposed on its colored folks...I am certainly not saying that dominicans have haitian blood...but majority have african blood.. And blaming the occupation on the reason why dominicans are darker is basically another dominican inferior complex and always use haitians as a scapegoat.. And to use ur words it was more of the spaniards and the french to some extent was boning your african ancestors which make up the dominican population... My friend nobody is pure anything in the Americas.... Dominicans are creoles not because hatiians rather because Don Cervantes and gang saw your dominican ancestor as a sex object and property...Even in haiti the french were having fun with there slaves thus our mulatto population......

Do me a favor walk down the malecon and find me an indian...not likely to happen...but Go to mexico, peru, bolivia and you'll see a real indian....see the difference....


Although, a real real small population of dominican may have some taino blood but its definately obvious which blood line flows stronger in DR...and dont blame haitains for you being darker....Scapegoat...and very weak statement.....even haitans have taino blood...pratically every god damn town in haiti has the taino presence...but its obvious which blood line dominates....by the way, Haiti is an indian word..so we're indian more than you are...see how absurd that comment sounds...basically that how dominican are viewed when they make stupid comments about them being indio...

I know its hard being black/ mulatto but damn....you're not indians..why would you want to be indian anyway...They were weak and wiped out as soon as the colonizers step foot on the island..just to show your inferior complex of an average dominican...but dont worry, the more of you will realize how black you are in living in PR and USA and face racism for just because of the color of your skin..

I will leave you with a proverb..The truth shall set you free.....Go luck in the mirror and find same indian traits..rather you'll most like see a teddy bear nose big lips, high cheek bones, and maybe wavy hair....mulattos...why do think domincans are the best at doing hair....sure not indian hair that the average dominican is trying to manage

I know for a fact that i have no so called "creole blood" , im 100% Dominican and so are 95% of all Dominicans , the reason we are so dark is becuase during the occupation a large portion of the white and light skinned population fled to other places, not cuase people started mating with haitians , if that was the case there wouldnt have been a reason for an independance movement ,dont you think? and why was it soooo popular ? if people were mating with Haitians it wouldnt have been , it probably would have never happended if that was the case. It was an occupation not a colonization , there is a differance. Dont commit the mistake that many Afro-Centrics are known for which is preaching things they want to beleive but arent true. thats to end that . about 10% of venezuelas population is Colombian and they are many times faced with discrimination, i never said they were no black colombians .What i meant about the one drop rule is that i have noticed in you posts that you are on the "f you have some african ancestors you are black" scene ,becuase people with that mind set always want people of mixed heritage to forget the rest of their other heritage and concentrate on their african and i dont agree with that. Puerto Rico has a lighter population becuase they never had a slave rebellion and had most of the islands whites leave becuase of it , if Dr was never occupied by Haiti , the population would have looked more like PRs , thats my beleif , but im glad we dont look like them, so thats that.As for merengue , it is a mix of african , indian , and european music .Much like DR, and it comes from DR, it is Dominican music.

Default Suggested reading

To all those who are interested:

This thread has completely lost it's objective unfortunately because I do believe the OP just wanted some opinions and perceptions about a seemingly deep rooted problem to add to his/ her research. There are some thoughtfully constructive comments by Yansser, Deelt & Mario, however, the discussion is no longer about Dominicans and Puerto Ricans. A few are still struggling with issues that I agree may need resolution but going back & forth comment after comment is not the solution (and to add to that much of what is stated by some is completely outrageous).

I would like to suggest a book that I think CLEARLY sheds light on the issue of race and many other problems in Latin America but all intrinsically related and relevant to the topics discussed in the book.

Title: Las raices torcidas de Latinoamerica
Author: Carlos Alberto Montaner
Available at: Amazon.com & Barnes & Nobles.com (may be Borders Bookstore)

I strongly recommend this reading if you truly are interested in why issues such as race and many others has plagued Latin America since colonialism.


Regards,

-Lesley D-
