"due to the fact that many dominicans left for Cuba, Puerto Rico and Venezuela becuase of the racist anti-white policies by the despotic Boyer and his haitian administration."

Only the cowards left, arcatype, and from this end of the timeline I say good riddance. No hicieron falta para ser Patria.

JAMES1804, SAID
Arcatype.....First of all you are an idiot. You actually think Boyer was anti-white? The man was so white himself, it was as if he died last week! Secondly I strongly disagree on the comment that DR should get a piece of the money since "DR" was not proclaimed until 1844. Also some of your own "people" supported being annex by Haiti in 1821. If this were to happen and DR pulled a stunt like this, it would show the world that DR does not really want the best for its neighbor.

ARCATYPE: For your information Jean Pierre Boyer's mother was born in the Congo she was a congolese negress (BLACK), Boyer was a dark mulatto. And no, we did not choose to be part of Haiti, the majority of dominicans came to the decision of being admitted to Simon Bolivar's republics. http://www.samanacollege.com/dominican01.html

A great point on what? .....Anyways. Lautaro, Haiti is in the process of rebuilding its major roads. I uploaded a video which talks about the construction of "route national 3". But I think rebuilding the cities is more important.

Groups and Organizations like that are very difficult and costly to be created in third-world/developing countries, Lautaro. Take a look at what happened to China....The worlds next super-power. A lot of the people lost their livelyhood because of the earthquake. Its going to take some time before Haiti or DR come up with an effective organization. Lord knows we dont want a island version of FEMA.

The fact is that those who left and stayed away never had real love for the place or were just cowards, Case in point: Juan Sanchez Ramirez. Sanchez Ramirez left during the initial turmoil but returned because he loved the island and considered it his home. He had enough wealth and clout to live in other parts of what was then left of the Spanish Empire in relative comfort. But he returned to what is now the Dominican Republic because it was his home. And he returned with a sword in his hand. Many men of means remained or eventually returned. Only the cowards and those who had no true love for home in the first place made there home in other parts. I say good riddance. I'm not of the mind like you or Balaguer that laments the loss of yesteryear's "elites" and "whites". I'm proud of the people that stayed behind, wether it was out of necessity or out of shear love for the place, to make a patria for us Dominicans. I have no regrets as to what the Dominican people are today and as such I don't lament what could've been if such and such families stayed behind as that psuedo intellectual Balaguer was always prone to do.
