*yawn*
One more color struck race obsessed troll infecting another thread with his own preconcieved notions of Dominican Repbulic's people and culture, viewed thru his own ethnocentric lens and based upon some rather bizarre takes of online sources.
For the millionth time, DR is like many other LatinAmerican countries in that socioeconomic class is the overwhelming dominating factor in determining how one is treated. There are tons of tourist from the Jamaica and African Americans who go back every single time and love it. Keep your whole 'light skinned vs dark skinned' theory to yourself. If you're very dark skinned with stereotypical broad West African features try visiting Haiti as a common person and then compare/contrast the treatment you'll receive. Make sure you familiarize yourself with denigrating terms like 'kaka dyab' and congo.

you must be ghetto if you are able to blend in the worst parts of DR... Boca Chica is not a good spot for a first timer, they will leave with a bad taste of DR.

I don't take offense to that... you call it "ghetto", I call it "street smarts". Obviously you are too naive to realize street smarts is simply means COMMON SENSE. What the hell is a "good spot" anyway? Some uppity rich enclave? Within the confinement of an all inclusive hotel? Please clarify what that means or should I simply lump it with the remaining asinine statements you've made?

Boca Chica can be a great place to vacation if you use common sense. Maybe xwill17 can refer him to a "good spot" where the folks lacking common sense vacation.

I don't have to go there to know their is a problem. Just like i don't have to go outside to know if it is snowing. In case you haven't noticed there are many outlets that can inform you about what is going on around the world. I have had many friends go to dr. They all have had similar stories about discrimination and the apparent problem with color. Do i also really need to bring up the constant blogs about other peoples stories. What are you going to tell me... All those people are lying on dr??? Maybe you will say they are just picking on you guys. To every rumor there is some truth.....

That is the ghetto coming out.

My suggestion Africana, if you consider yourself a person of certain stature, regardless of your race or skin color, try to keep comments as civil as possible, thereby the message that you attempt to convey will be effective and respected. Otherwise you will lose credibility and be categorized as another senseless and purposeles troll. In the end you will be ignored.

And about not necessary to go ouside to know that it is snowing. Well yes true, but it is always best to see things for yourself and come to your own conclutions. Otherwise you will view things under some one else's perspectiveand only to achieve a false negative. The media tends to alter realtiy; it amplifies circumstances or situations beyond its latitudes.

Guillermone, you really are the worst. You know something is wrong and yet you still agree. Then you want to name call and make stupid comments that i am ghetto. Let me tell you, just b/c you are in the states does not mean that you don't have el barrio dentro de ti. When the racism starts seeping out of your pores, so does the ignorant teachings of del barrio. You crack me up. You are the biggest hypocrite, racist and bigot on this site. You say that the postings, media, and the Internet have completely skewed the views and doings of Dominican Republic. You claim that we should not listen to everything people write and say. Then in one fell swoop you do the same thing, that you claim is being done to you and your people. I saw the posting you put on "My first trip to the DR" The one where you make all of those FACT LESS STUPID generalizations about blacks. Why should people not believe everything they hear about DR. You believe everything that is said about black people. I have told you before. I do my research before i open my mouth on a subject. It is obvious that you do not do the same The sad part is you are not helping anyone see your point of view. If anything you are just going to be creating more racist thinking Dominicans like yourself. ...... It is going to take me longer to disprove all of the garbage you said in that post. I just don't have the time tonight... But don't worry I'll make the time soon. I will leave you with this food for thought about your precious white people and the national crime rate... "In 2008, 69.2 percent of all persons arrested were white; 28.3 percent were black; and the remaining 2.4 percent were of other races." Now what does this info tell you... Whites just had better lawyers. The system is made for them by them. GUILLERMONE DO YOUR FREAKING RESEARCH NEXT TIME AND STOP FREAKING LISTENING TO EVERYTHING THE NEWS SHOWS YOU. This info is from the FBI... http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2008/data/table_67.html Read the table. You will be surprised by what you find.
