Ugly picture up top not depicting her in her true beauty. She truly looks more like the typical beauty seen on the island. Hopefully the world and the judges will see that our beauty queens aren't all of european descent no disrespect to my other skin tone beauties.

Oooops!! I forget something : What about "Ada"? It sounds like "Aida" which is a common name in Haiti. Do you, hateros, still think that you are all from those "worth nothing" Taino aborijens?

At least you have the gut to shut up and acknowledge when the truth is stuffed into your stomach. By the way, I don't understand why all this fuss about your president reelection deal with the main opposition leader in your country. In fact, there is nothing more democratic than what he's done: that's what the Brits called Parliamentary wheeling and dealing, and I have to admit that we haitians would have never done something like that.
So, I do sincerily congratulate him, because he could have done like those butt holes back home and get rid physically of his main opponents. I might not like you anymore, however, when something worthy of civilization is accomplished in your side of the border, I am impartial and honest enough to acknowledge. It is a pity that you keep lowering yourselves with false pretentions and barbaric acts against our people.

Black Bahamayan my butt! Tthe Bahamas islandS are a former British colony and its inhabitants bear phonetically english surnames and middle names, unless that "black bahamayan" was one of the numerous haitians immigrants who live in those islands.
C'mon boys! You must aknowledge that we, the Haitian negroes, are the real race enhancer and not the stupid, lazy and weak Tainos, and you should consider yourself lucky to have so many strong haitian bulls crossbreeding with your weak female offsprings. Who knows, in a few hundreds years, you'll be as strong and resilient as we are, but for the time now, keep lying to yourself and continue to declare and identity yourselves with what is not yours and suitable for you.

Mr etiennc01,
It is funny how your pseudo sounds Haitian (French). What is your problem buddy? Can't you feel and stand the heat of battle? The Dominicans I knew as a kid were the bravest and rowdiest fighters I have ever known. So, don't tell me the ones, that are now claiming loudly and clearly their superiority over us Haitians, can't stand, fight and make me shut the hell up with non offensive and cursing words.
You reserve yourselves de right to trash us and you think that in return I must kiss your butt, that won't ever happen buddy. When you slam the trutht in my face by dubbing my people living on your soil with every nasty and malevolent expressions you can find while you are licking white and would be white SOBs' butt, I stand my ground, but as far as you're concerned, you are quick to jump when I get on your case. Why? Don't you know that bowing in front of a group and thumping your chest with disdain in front of another one is called : complex of inferiority?

I already know my past and I don't have to keep remembering it to you because you know it very well to have shared it in a certain fashion with us. What I want you to understand is that the Dominican people has reached a point in time where they don't have to lower themselves by seeking recognition from others with lies they are trying to incorporate into their history.
Hell, you are the very first colony of the America and you should be the leader of this continent. However, you are not acting like one, in fact you are belittling yourself by acting like a nation of underachievers which is proud to be accepted among what should be your peers.
You should be the ones shining in the Caribean sea and gang together with our other caribean partners in order to lead them against those powers who came after us and who think that we are only good to be invaded and subdued. You've been insulted and belittled throughout the developped nations the same way you've been doing it to us...

What have you gain so far? Economic sponsorship the same way we've been sponsored in the 50s when we were still Oncle Sam favorite in the area the same way you are now. You should be in the process to be as strong as tiny Singapore and be able to resist any foreign power pressure. However, what I am seeing is a Black population being marginalized and almost gettoed by a tiny core of indigenous mulattos and Europeans new comers that have grabbed the ecomomic power the same way they've done it to my country.
The United States are a Great Power and country for everything they have achieved and brought to mankind. However, I will never consider them as a great people because to be Great you must be strong, prosperous and generous like we haitians were in the 19th century when with our wealth and our might we helped the South Americans freed themselves against the tiranny of their spanish rulers, I simply think that you Dominicans are about to miss the boat.
Time to wake up buddy.

From: United States
Oupala she is representing herself as a Dominican woman, and her features and name indicate a wonderful mixed heritage of the sort our sea is known for. Unless you have some link or statement where she details her specific background then all I can assume is that much. Haiti has no monopoly on francophone names. Get over it and spare us any further harangues and screeds... This article is about a beauty queen for crying out loud.

My friend Manhattanite,
I don't think you really understand my point. I have never said that she was not Dominican : how the Hell she would have been bistowed such high honor in such a country where the Haitian name is belittled and despised? My point my friend is to make the Hateros understand that this question of descending from the Tainos is ridiculous and that the same way we Haitians are proud of our African, French and Spanish roots, they must be proud of theirs whatever they were from either community. The best exemple back home is the Vorbe Family. They are a white family who got mixed with our negroes. They are one of the proudest family in our country and they never turned their back neither renegated us, while other did.

Whatever we the Haitians or the Dominicans do, we will keep breeding among each others and interace breeding will always take place and you will always end up with lighter skin among darker ones. However, it is the bond of nationhood that must break the barriers between race and color like it did in china and japan. I must admit that those countries are much more older than us and they had had plenty time to mature and to come of age while we Dominicans and Haitians are brand new crossbred bastards who have been in this world for a mere two centuries.
It looks that we Haitians have understood the concept better than them because, we still considering them like a sister nation with a lot in common. However, I think we are getting the message from them now.
So you see my friends, it is a question of clinging to your roots and the Dominicans have no Taino ones. Their elite is a tiny core of European descent mulattos that have, lke in Haiti parked t he negroes.

How about you backing your BS views with PROOFS, oupala07? Can you in your right mind (if you don't have comprehensive reading problems, that is) deny the proofs shown on the following thread that determine the very real fact that we dominicans have our Taino DNA and heritage alive and well?:

Homogeneous China and Japan are your examples for the cultural cauldrons of our islands? I don't even know who these phantom hateros you are speaking to are oupala...if you mean letroude consider that on a thread about a beauty queen he/she has provoked you to spew entire hateful rants with little more than a sentence. In order to make your point to one or two 'hateros' you make adversaries of the rest of us who have no such white illusions as what you accuse, and in the process denigrate a dead people and even the few undeniable traces they left behind. And if by the 'hateros' you mean your good friends from the immigration articles, please keep it there. First thought of most venturing in this threads appropriately revolved around sex and beauty ... too bad some of you are so sick inside about race. Contain it to appropriate threads.

Having witnessed what Haitians have done to their own country in 200 years, Would not another country be afraid that Haitians might do the same to their counrtry.
How do you expect the citizen of a country to react when you invade their country , crowd their hospitals, dump your poor children on their streets, wander in rags and carrying machettes in their neighbourhoods .When you chop their trees to make charcoal, when you kill their families how in the hell youexpect them to react.
