why can’t some spanish nations admit that their multi cultral?
some dominicans i know will tell me up and down there are not afro dominican. and they are as dark as me. is it a self hate thing. latin music has alot of african drums. 4 those who don’t know drums and music originate in africa. how is it they can take the music but no admit that latin countries have black in them? slaves were brought 2 the Caribbean but some how skipped dominican republic and pueto rico and cuba etc? it just doesn’t make Sense 2 me also. i live in nyc and u meet all kinds of ignorant people. i happen 2 know of some Latin’s who don’t like blacks which is cool. that’s there thing . but my argument is we will not be living the way we are if it was NOT 4 the civil rights movement and the great BLACK leaders along with others who followed the movements (jews w.e) how dare other races come 2 america and think they are better then blacks? dispite the image they see on t.v
Those happen to be uneducated Dominicans who dont know their history. Dominicans are a mixture of the indigenous people that were there the Taino Indians and the Spanish slavetraders and the African slaves. But like many other races of people there is a racist conundrum similar to the way light skinned blacks feel superior to the darker blacks. Because of this mixture that creates the Dominican there are some that are very fair skinned with blue eyes to boot and some that are very dark. So just like black people do to their own the lighter Dominicans feel superior to the darker ones and both light and dark Dominicans feel superior to the Hation people that share the very same Island!! Its the slave mentality created by the slavemasters to divide and conquer us all. Next time give that ignorant Dominican a book on the history of Hispanola.
