So the slaves brought to the Dominican Republic came from Spain? But why would they bring slaves from Spain and reduce the number of workers they have there to work in the fields, when the could simply bring more from Africa.

I just viewed something after "googleing" the topic. Millions of African slaves where imported by Spain to the Carribean, many of them to the Island of Hispanola. I do'nt want this information going any farther than here, I would hate people to think I have any type of shared ancestry with Haitians in me.

This can't be true, we have a shared history with Haitians?

Who even follows that bs? Try telling a Somalian or Ethiopian that they look the way they do because they have 'Euro' admixture. They're 100% as African as any other group. I despise centrist of all persuasions. We just happen to get the Afro variety. Both are equally racist.

Troll alert!!!!!!!!!

Same picture different name, TROLL ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Sista',
If that is all you understood out of that whole post than I'm afraid I cannot help you if you lack basic reading comprehension.

p.s.
You really suck at this.

indeed, much, but not all, of his stuff is circumstantial but there is interesting stuff in there. The gospel it is not, however, but it's still an interesting hypothesis. Read the book many years ago, though.

brasilia why play this silly game? go buy the books, or earn some respect from those who could give you the info you seek.

yes there actually is a legitimate historical reason (various) why they did not just 'simply bring more from Africa'. the Spanish were principally interested in mining in South America. The Spanish were never good at slaving, the undisputed champions in the slave trade were the English. the English clearly were more interested in supplying their own colonies than selling Africans to Spain. in fact the Spanish were not good at trading period and had a retarded system of tariffs and Sevillian monopolistic centralization that made importing any of the inputs for plantations (tools, materials, expertise for the mills, and African slaves) , or exporting the final products not worthwhile. SO the backwards Spanish economic system did not make it profitable to make Santo Domingo a plantation colony ... unlike Brazil and the French, English and Dutch Caribbean. SO though slavery did go on in Santo Domingo during the 1500s and survived in some form right through 1822 it was never anywhere near the scale of the operations of the rest of the Caribbean. you can verify this by looking at eiter population over thos eras in Santo Domingo, or the meager amount of exports. the Spanish simply were not efficient or skilled enough at the Atlantic trade game. they were feudal conquerors, not pre-modern mercantilists like the northern Europeans.

by the time the Spanish caught on to the plantation game in the 1800s the slave trade was almost over. Santo Domingo was lost to them by this point and so their sugar period took place mostly in Cuba, and PR to a lesser degree. and so African descendants on the island have mostly come by way of the other colonies, or in the early period by way of Spain itself.

I can cite every last statement here but what are you willing to pay me

Everyone on this forum know that Africa is a continent and Africans vary greatly in phenotype, They did that because you're a troll, what do you expect, a serious answer? You reap what you sow.

Now, since you too are on your high horse, why don't you investigate why Horners do look down upon people who look like they came from the Congo? Why after generations Somalis discriminate against Somali Bantus (descendants of Bantu tribes)? They treat them like slaves.
Why do they think of African Americans as 'slave descendants'?

BRASIL IS THE MOST RACIALLY MIXED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. A PERSON OF AFRICAN DESCENT IN BRASIL WITH FEATURES SIMILAR TO HAITIANS COULD EASILY BE SEEN WITH A WHITE BRASILIAN AND IT WILL NOT BE A SHOCK TO ANYONE.

I HAVE YET TO SEE, IN 11 YEARS IN THE D.R. A MULATTO or WHITE DOMINICAN WITH A HAITIAN OR ANY Dark skinned Dominican AT ALL. and WHO CARES IF ABOUT PUBLIC OFFICES. MAYBE NOBODY WANTED TO RUN FOR OFFICE, BUT I CAN TELL you MILLIONS OF WHITE BRASILIANS HAVE DATED DARKER SKINNED brasilians OR BRASILIANS WITH AFRICAN FEATURES SIMILAR TO HAITIANS.

ABOUT ABOLISHING SLAVERY, IF YOU HAD MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO LOOKED LIKE HAITIANS IN YOUR COUNTRY WORKING FOR FREE WOULD YOU ABOLISH THE PRACTICE THAT ENABLED THIS TO BE? nope, I would'nt.
