DON'T FORGET THAT BACK THEN YOUR SIDE WAS THE POOREST OF THE WESTERN HEMI/ SO DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULL CRAP ABOUT ECONOMY JUST SAY THAT MOST OF YOUR LEADERS AND CITIZENS ARE RACIST AND I WILL BE CONTENT JUST ADMIT IT....

No more than yours, which at this time and age are still establishing restrictions to people owning property over there based on skin colour. Only fools like you believe that racism on this island is one way street.

Hey you, idiot, what are you going to do with that flag if you do not have the courage to fight (and even to die) for it?

You have more enemies inside than outside the island Western part. All the persons that are blocking Haiti progress inside Haiti are enemies too. And what are you doing with them? Just seeing how the get huge fortunes.

Tourism, free zones, remittance and foreign investments are our main economic foundations. What do you have as economic foundations? Drug trafficking (in a stratospheric scale –in only eight years Aristide became the richest man in the island–), smuggling, gunrunning, kidnapping, administrative corruption, slave trade and so on. In colony time you had got French masters and after 1804 you had got Haitians masters (and these are worse than the others).

Get a country first and then you could use that flag.

Restriction based on skin color. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LAT?

Well at least foreigners doesn't own 95% of my country........At least we had the guts to pick and design our own Flag and not copy off of someone else's, At least we didn't let the Vatican name our country, At least our flag is not a cheap version between the Flag of the Holy See and the Hatians..LOL YOU GUYS ARE AS FAKE AS A 2 DOLLAR BILL AND THIS IS WHY YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO STEP OUTSIDE OF OUR SHADOW AND BECOMING A REAL COUNTRY BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO HISTORY. ONCE HAITI GETS ITS SHIT TOGETHER YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE RE-ANNEXED FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY TACOS.
THIS IS WHERE YOUR FLAG COMES FROM ITS SIMPLY A CHEAP IMITATION OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE FLAG WITH THE HAITIAN COLORS IN THE BACKGROUND....YOU LOSERS COULDN'T EVEN SEAT DOWN AND PUT A DESCENT FLAG TOGETHER..

Now you are the one pouring crap out of your mouth. I could wager whatever you want that there are more dominicans than haitians owning property on the entire island. And no, I'm not talking about the euro-dominicans with sounding last names versus your so called "white-haitians" (which are partners in crime, by the way). I'm talking about the Juancito Perez out there, which have more property than all your fils-Guinen combined. Face it, not even emperor Obama can work against the forces within the Empire and the aristocracy of your own country that are colluding in keeping you fils de Guinee down, that is, as nothing more than cattle to be used and sold at whim, and apparently things will remain being so well into the next century, specially when we see how even after four storms, Robert Zoellick and the World Bank still refuse to cancel Haiti's foreign debt.

I would say that's a lie, that's a damn lie and you know it Juancito Perez doesn't own Jack....Juancito Perez works for the elites, the small 3% Euro-foreign born elite that runs your country and everything else if fully own by Spain and the rest of the international community I didn't want to go there but I guess with you I should. YOUR COUNTRY IS OWN NOW AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN BY THE VATICAN. Ever since 1844 when your people parted ways with mine and you know I'm telling the truth. The evidence are clear you just simply chose to ignore it but the fact remains The Dominican Republic is own and run by the Dominicans <----The Religious Group. They even name it after themselves The Dominican Republic and even today your Vatican Priests have more saying in the affairs of your country than the President elect himself. Tell me I'm making this up and I will blast this forum to oblivion. Not only did they model your flag after theirs, they even named it after their selves so much disrespect, they don't care about you nor your people they never did. You are here simply because they want what they can not have they want to convert my people to their bloody religions which I know for a fact will never happen my people will always serve Mother Erzulie. They annihilated the Tainos because they refused to serve the Vatican and you and your rejects accepted the Pope as your new God that''s the reason why you have a Bible embedded in your flag because your side is own by the Vatican Church and I son of Dessalinnes will always be there to protect your kind from that disease of a religion of yours.

Yes, I'm telling to your neanderthal face that you're making that up. Because, first, all those COLOURED military and civil families of the country owning large estates (the Perez y Perez, Nivar-Seijas, Matos, Soto, et al.) are certainly NOT friars. Secondly, the Dominican Republic, you incurable imbecile, was named after the capital of the country, Santo Domingo, and not for anything else. Third, the dominican order was the one defending the Tainos, you cretin, cuz' the ones supporting their slavery were the franciscans. The main priests of the dominican order, if something, defined themselves by their spirited defense not only of the Taino native, but also all the other ones of the entire continent, specially their most famous priest, Fray Bartolomé De Las Casas. We're not to blame if you have a vendetta against him for proposing african slavery in order to alleviate the toil of the Taino, the only thing that you almost got right was the flag, only a bit twisted in your own inimitable way, because we dominicans didn't make it out of allegiance for the Vatican, but out of allegiance to God, which is something different. If something, this post of yours have shown that you sorely need to go back to school, because you have an arroz con mango in that deranged mind of yours that not even a neurosurgeon can sort out with certain success.

Lat if you were in front of me I would look you straight in the eyes and tell you that you sir are an IDIOT. What is the fundamental difference between calling the the Country DR after Santo Domingo and having the Vatican personally name the country so....Do you want me to tell you who Santo Domingo was and for whom he worked for or do I let you do the research yourself so you can blow your own brains out....Nah to think of it you are too afraid of the truth you will never seek the truth therefore I will post it for you. EXCUSE ME WHILE I EMBARRASS YOU WITH SOME GOOD OLD FACTS.

1) Bartholomew Columbus, brother of Christopher Columbus, founded the settlement and named it after Saint Dominic.

2) Saint Dominic (Spanish: Domingo), also known as Dominic of Osma, often called Dominic de Guzmán and Domingo de Guzmán Garcés (1170 – August 6, 1221) was the founder of the Friars Preachers, popularly called the Dominicans or Order of Preachers (OP), a Catholic religious order. Dominic is the patron saint of astronomers and the Dominican Republic.

DO YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE YOUR PREHISTORIC IDIOT?

3) The Order of Preachers (Latin: Ordo Praedicatorum), after the 15th century more commonly known as the Dominican Order or Dominicans, is a Catholic religious order, founded by Saint Dominic in the early 13th century in France. Membership in the Order includes the friars,[1] the nuns, the sisters, and lay persons affiliated with the Order (formerly known as tertiaries).

DO YOU WANT MORE? OR WILL YOU NOW ADMITT THAT I WAS RIGHT THAT DR BELONGS TO THE VATICAN ALWAYS HAVE AN ALWAYS WILL BE AND THAT 95% OF THE DR TERRITORY IS OWN BY FOREIGNERS.

TRUTH HURT DOESN'T IT?

Imbecile, naming a country in honor of something is not like that something (or group) owns the country. Are you going to tell me that your country is owned by the Taino because the country is named Haiti? You, sir, need to go back to school. Also, you still haven't answered me about the families owning estates that I flung in your face. WANKER.

Arkatype, Said Oddly enough the person that freed Mella from prison was Charles Riviere Herard, because he did not find out until too late that he was a secret member of (Los Trinitarios) that actually helped Herard reach power in unifying the mulattos with blacks that were against Boyer's administration, that as usual neglected the majority poor populace of Haiti. Three as for Juan Pablo Duarte he returned to the free and independent nation of the Dominican Republic in March 20, 1844. Where they honored the father of the nation with a glorious spectacle of cannon blasts from the fort of the river Ozama. CONTINUATION.....
