"Quisqueyanos" and education

[daddy1]

tvag... this is why I get real fustrated, because I know that our mother country has talented beyond what they show the world as a whole, in everything different sports; I mean we are a no show in the olympics, learning languages, teaching, do you know how many caucasian Americans and afro American's envy me and my wife because I am of darker skin and she is of light skin and they look at us like we got jungle fever, because seeing a culture with dark and light complection as one is an amazing benefit, we are blessed with so much deversity, and our range as a culture is
large to say the least, but our parent's generation which is still in power, and has the country hostage, won't let those poor souls in the island show the world what a Dominican is capable of if given structure, jobs and above all else the educational institutions that they deserve, we haven't reached our potention as a united culture yet but we will someday,

I consider this to be a very good thing, since I have been brought up as a person who likes to learn and explore. This is mainly the case when it comes to foreign languages which is a study that I fancy. Spanish is the family language, and the one that traces my ethnicity, and English is the one that is learned from schooling for communication in this American land. I may speak these, but I like studying others, mainly ones related to these two, such as Italian, Romanian, Portuguese to Spanish, and ones like German and Dutch to English. Even though I have never been to these lands, I find these tongues of interest to me, and I do hope to visit these places someday.
As far as my Dominican paisanos, it gives me pride when I hear of them in high professions and also as good people setting a good example for the old country. My family and relatives have been an example of good and hard-working
Dominicans, especially with my brother in a profession
of being an attorney.
And as far as racial differences among the Quisqueyanos, I feel that if we as a people, light-skin, dark and other (both light and dark exist in my family, with me as an example of the light, and now there's other with an American-born Korean-Dominican nephew and niece that I have) give a good name for our background nationality, then that is what the U.S. and the rest of the world will see, a hard-working people who embrace the world. It's good to hear when a supermarket or any major business in the U.S. succeeds when it is run by the fellow Dominicans.
So if we are all black to the world, so be it! Blacks are part of the Lord's beautiful creation. If they call us Haitians, I thank them! For I believe that as long as I am a good person, and also that I am loved by God, my great father, and always live to do his will, the world matters not to me.
If the the D.R. puts God first, the land and people will advance.
Well, I know I have said much, but I wanted to communicate certain things to ye.

Peace and sunshine!

Very well said.
