AfroLatino,

Dont forget to take your medications, and if you have medications that are particularly time sensitive, try purchasing pill bottles with alarms.

Did you mean CLASSISM or did you really mean "a high regard for classical antiquity"?

What happened to your other thread with the two questions?
I was posting a response as follows:

I agree with Sajonero, Belly and Gringo1, as to if there is racism, so what? Why always trying to gain something from posing as the underdogs? This "gimme me" attitude because you are racist is what is wrong, Dominicans are not racist at all, they might be "classist" but never racist, since mostly all Dominicans are of mixed blood with mulatto or black genes, and we certainly don't look like Aryans.
There is a modern form of classism or modern racism all over the world, for example:
1. Japanese consider themselves superior to Koreans, and they regard them as the "blacks" of the orient.
2. Russians consider themselves superior to Georgians, Ukranians and Mongolians.
3. Israelis consider themselves superior to Palestinians and all arabs.
4. Iranians consider themselves superior to Iraquis.
5. Saudi Arabians consider themselves superior to most of their Arab neighbors and all occidentals.
6. In the African continent examples are plentiful as well and too numerous to detail.
7. In Latin America Argentineans consider themselves "the master race", and the beat goes on.
8. Puerto Ricans consider themselves superior to Dominicans, although there was "reverse immigration" during the 1930's and many Puerto Ricans migrated to DR to work for agriculture and the sugar cane mills.
9.and last but not least, Haitians consider themselves superior to Dominican as they claim to be "smarter", speak more foreign languages and work harder than Dominicans, as well as have a stronger sex libido.
10. Dominicans consider themselves "better off" economically than Haitians, but that is where the comparison stops, as poverty bring poor hygiene, illiteracy, poor health and disease. But that doesn't make Dominicans racists but maybe classists to try to defend and maintain their progression in the food scale.

IF THIS THREAD GETS EVAPORATED WE MIGHT HAVE TO FIND OUT WHO THE PERSON BEHIND ALL THIS IS, BUT I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD HUNCH.

Sure,

I suppose you need to take your medication as well for denials (lol). To ignore and deny that the ills from this formula above are not in great part responsible for the dynamics of the island today is fallacy in your state of mind.

I find it funny, how in DR as is with many Dominicans like to evade, or elude and deviate from the known fact that racism does exist in DR (much like in many places around the world, sure granted). It is weird that the minute somebody tries to address the issue of racism in DR, they are crazy for it or many Dominicans start crying wolves. Yet, many of those same Dominicans cannot affirmatively answer this basic question:
  • In DR, does racism exist or does not exist?

However, there is not much need to mention the "world" in that case since we are not trying to discuss "World Racism" in this argument, but rather "Dominican Racism" as this is an issue being addressed by creeds from that region. The inhabitants of the island thus in this case, the island of Hispaniola.

Your guess is as good as mine, since people on here often are known to personally contact the admins and begging them to delete other posts they do not agree with. As this site is, with much bias and prejudice, engage in persecution of members they feel are not in direct perspective in views with several Dominicans on here who often have used racist rants, discriminative-derogatory and defaming, as well as ill condescending remarks and statements.
