Santo Domingo.- The discoveries and research conducted in Dominican Republic on the Generalized Primary Distonía, defined as a very strange, neurodegenerative disease which affects white skin children in the southwestern town Cabral, Barahona, will be an important contribution in the advances for its treatment therapeutic.
Doctor Susan J. Hayflick, Interim Chair and Professor of Oregon Health & Science University made the statement Tuesday night, on her discovery of the DNA gene carrier code responsible for the disease.
The researcher headed a lecture together with Dr. Penny Hogarth, neurosurgeon who specializes in patients with motor problems caused by the ailment known as NBIA, held in the Robert Reid Cabral Children Hospital and with the support of the NBIA Hope and Faith Foundation.
Iron
The scientist said the strange disease, with highly pronounced cases in Dominican Republic’s southwest and which affects the locomotive system, balance, speech, and hinders the patients’ endurance, results from the accumulation of iron in the brain which attacks that sector of the population, and adults in lower scale.
Hayflick said while different formulas are being tried to find a treatment based on medicine and specialized care, a cure or an immediate solution against the disease don’t exist. She added that Japan, Germany and other nations have detected many degenerative forms of the disease, but it’s the Dominican Republic which has registered the most cases.
Newspaper Listin recently revealed that several specialists have after more than nine years of research uncovered a rare neurological disease in the Southwest, severely affecting 22 white children.

Depends on your belief, theory, definition and interpretation of white and/or black. If for you the only white people are those who belong to the Aryan race, fair skin, blue-eye, blond or red hair, and everybody else is black, then there is little to no white Dominicans. However, if you expand the categories and make it more inclusive, then yes of course we have white Dominicans.
Remember this is not just research on degenerative deseases, it is also a DNA study on a very specific racial group of people in the DR and before any definitive conclusion was realized, race had to be definitively and firmly established beforehand. So genetically and not visually, it was proven that caucasian people exist in the DR, in numbers much greater then what most people think.

Well, I guess the methology used by Escott, Tony Tun Tun and El Papa999 are 100% right and the researchers from Oregon Health & Science University are all wrong. The results of the genetic/DNA tests done by these highly qualified Doctors are completely inaccurate, the results which they came up with are a false positive for "white" there is no such thing as a white Dominican and everybody in the DR has tainted blood from colored people. Let have all of these WASP gringo doctors pack-up their bags and send them back on the first flight to Oregon. They are wasting valuable resources, money, time and effort with all that scientific Bull Crap. Dr. Penny Hogarth, neurosurgeon and Doctor Susan J. Hayflick are a couple of idiots, two of the 3 stooges, only Escott, Tony and El Papa know exactly what they are talking about. KUDOS to you three on your profound, highly credible and professional racial analysis of the DR. Best Regards.

Like I said about 90% are mixed. There are some purely black or purely white dominicans but they are the minority. When I say pure I mean pure no mixing not just some light skin person with a wide nose and big lips or some really black person with straight hair. Some folks want to impose the US standards of black/white to the DR and cant see beyond the fact that most dominicans do not look purely african or purely european and even the Spanish that originally populated the DR were mixed with Arabs. The list goes on and on and on....
From: United States
When they state 11% it refers to pure unmixed blacks. The eastern border regions of the DR has the highest concentration such as Samana, San Pedro and La Romana and San Cristobal near the capital just to name a few. The Cibao region has the greatest number of Dominicans who are predominately caucasian of southern european ancestry and tri-racials one of the largest groups in the DR.

A system of racial stratification was imposed on Santo Domingo by Spain, as elsewhere in the Spanish Empire.[citation needed] Its effects have persisted, reaching their culmination in the antihaitianismo of the Trujillo regime, as the dictator used racial persecution and nationalistic fervor against Haitians.[51][73] A U.N. envoy in October 2007 found racism against blacks in general, and Haitians in particular, to be rampant in every segment of Dominican society.[74] According to a study by the CUNY Dominican Studies Institute, about 90% of the contemporary Dominican population has West African ancestry to varying degrees.[75] However, most Dominicans do not self-identify as black, in contrast to people of West African ancestry in other countries. A variety of terms are used to represent a range of skin tones, such as moreno/a (brown), canelo/a (red/brown) ["cinnamon"], indio/a (Indian), blanco/a oscuro/a ........cont

Meanwhile the Dominican people never invaded Haiti, it was the other way around. Another thing WIKIPEDIA has been known to be bias, so i suggest you read books with reputable sources. Not the politically correct biased crap theyre printing nowadays, WHICH OMIT INFORMATION. REMEMBER THE VICTIMS ARE NOT THE CRIMINALS... IT'S THE CULPRITS WHO ARE THE BAD GUYS.

cheyenneasanti-You are an outsider and are talking a language that is strange and irrelevant to the DR. You don't know and understand what we are talking about. It has nothing to do with racism. Though many posters here use racial slurs, do not get confused, it is only to express their anger and frustration. Dominicans are the most accepting and receptive people on the face of the earth. So please hold back on your concept of American race relations, it has nothing to do with us. it is much more complex and beyond that. It has very little to do with racism and more about patriotism and survival of our national identity. It is clearly stated in our constitution it specifically establishes a precept that we must maintain complete separation from Haiti and not unification. We do not want to be united. Why can't anybody accept and understand that for Christ Sake!!!!!!!!!

Good job Dreadlocks, you teached Telemeco a lesson 2day. I’m Dominican & it makes me sad 2 hear people like Telemeco speak this way. I just can believe he said Dominicans run N.Y. I will repeat what El Factor said the REAL WHITE people run N.Y. & in some ways they also run the D.R; weather you like or not.
No singer from the D.R. can or will ever be compare 2 the legend Robert Nesta Marley, Bob was in another level when it came 2 music, lyrics & proud 2 be black.
Regarding Cuban music, I would like Telemeco 2 compare a Dominican Singer to Celia Cruz another legend that was also proud to be black. Please don’t get me wrong I love 2 dance & get a good workout 2 Merengue & Bachata, but that’s all it is does 4 any body. I think if Dominican started listening 2 the lyrics of reggae music specially Bob Marley’s lyrics they will start 2 appreciate their African heritage.
By the way gives thanks 2 the African heritage 4 Merengue & Bachata.

ELPAPA999, there is nothing wrong with being proud of the achievements of your own countrymen. i am jamaican, and i will die proud of my old friend, the late Bob. yes, there are great Dominican musicians. a tenor saxophone jazz player called Rivera, i forget his first name, made a name for himself in that genre, playing with some of the great players in the USA. I love the stuff from Juan Luis, and it is always so well recorded, it is a pleasure to just listen to it for hours. but bachata, and merengue, are small , localised art forms, compared to reggae. so, telemeco, before you further embarrass your compatriots, do some research, and learn something, preferably from other Dominicans who know better.
From: United States
Look cheyenneasanti my point is this. Dominicans in general don't want unification and the reason is not because of race. We are too much of a racially mixed nation to use it as a motive. However, it is the prohaitians advocates the ones who just like you, constantly pull the race card in an attempt to support their argument. It is nothing but a cop out, a last resort, the only available mechanism for defense. But a weak one at that. The race and color issue is just one leg to stand on other then that, there is absolutely nothing else, simply no advantages for Dominicans to become a one island nation.
From: United States
As far as discrimination in Dominican clubs are concerned. Well, what you heard is actually class discrimination disguised as racism. I do not condone this practice. But you must accept that these are exceptions and not the rule. Those places are privately owned, exclusive high end which may or may not use race to keep people out and a close knit circle of friends and associates in. I am not exactly white, but have been allowed into a few of those clubs. Why I was permitted entry is my guess, maybe I satisfied minimum requirements. Nevertheless, night clubs are notorious for being arrogantly selective about the patrons they serve. In general Dominicans are very open and accepting of outsiders, that is fact. You and I know that and had it not been for that you would have never been able to start a family in the DR. So leave your race crap in the US. What you know is superficial, our racial issues are much more complex then what you think, believe and could possibly understand.

Side note- In your dream Im sure you wish DR was like Gabon for it is one of the prosperous countries with the highest human development index in the region due to its abundant foreign and private investments and natural resources, mainly oil, are you familiar with the French oil giant Total is has a significant presence there.

PatDiamond...........Please understand ElFactor has a rare attitude, not experienced much here, HE IS A RACIST. "guillermone" is correct that some of the dislike of the Haitians was to the Haitian occupation. The Spanish did the most damage with their "CLASS SYSTEM". You had to be Spanish or a Mestizo (Native American and Spanish ancestry) to be considered human. In general the Dominicans are a well mixed (racially) culture (not race) and does not have many problems with racial bigotry. Please do not criticize the Dominican culture or the Latino culture for the actions of one fool. Remember, we are online and Elfactor may no be a Dominican in real life.
One more thought: People work for less when they do not have a viable alternative. The Haitians also work for less in the Dominican Republic. You are supporting the wrong position by making such statements. Similiar to ElFactor there are a few idiot African Americans who may have this attitude but most do not.

Colodrm stop making a fool of yourself. The problem is the Haitian mentality of disunity and their hatred towards anyone that's not black. Haitian history is full of massacres and civil wars between people of different races. Blacks committing genocide against whites, blacks committing massacres against Haitian mulattoes. And theyre trying to impose their haterd towards whites on Dominicans, through their expression on this board. But it wont work on us, for we became one united against Haiti to gain our independence from them. Something that never occurred in Haiti, understand that atleast!

Do you really think that if the ALL the HAITIAN population had decided to conquer the spanish side you'll get your independence ? It's ONLY the rich high class mulatttoes who decided to control spanish ayiti.
My question is WHY you hate so much the HAITIANS who colonized your country for 22 yrs?
Why you don't have this same hate against Spain or the USA ? These 2 countries also colonized spanish ayiti right ?
During USA invasion (twice in 20th century) rapes, tortures, killing was spreading all over la hispaniola by the US marines, why don't you hate them like the Haitians ? Spanish destroyed millions of Native Indians in the caribbeans and south America why don't you hate them as well ?

cheyenneasanti-You are an outsider and are talking a language that is strange.
Guillermone you are incorrect in your accessment.
I live in the Dominican Republic, my children live in the Dominican Republic.
My wife is Dominican.
I own property in the Dominican Republic.
You don't have to speak a particular language to see problems.
Check yourself, the comments made had nothing to do with patriotism.
The article did not have nothing to do with Haiti.
As far as racism, I am sure I know it far better than you.
Remember a club in Santo Domingo recently posted only "white" clients will be allowed inside.
Bigots always like to pretend their rheteric is anything but the racism that it is.
It is offensive to many who do not make comments here.
This will be my last post in this medium.
They are the ones that are flooding the DR and making us look like Gabon in Africa
----------------------------------------------------------
Due to the browning effect of America by the Latino invasion I do believe white America feels the same way about you (I do believe they simply refer to your kind as "a F#$CK%NG spick") do you mind explain that term , even the black man in America despise you for you are simply taking food from his mouth thru your willingness to work for less.
Side note- In your dream Im sure you wish DR was like Gabon for it is one of the prosperous countries with the highest human development index in the region due to its abundant foreign and private investments and natural resources, mainly oil, are you familiar with the French oil giant Total is has a significant presence there. Yes the DR population is a mixed breed while Gabon is pure African(makes you feel better mate)

One more thought: People work for less when they do not have a viable alternative. The Haitians also work for less in the Dominican Republic. You are supporting the wrong position by making such statements. Similiar to ElFactor there are a few idiot African Americans who may have this attitude but most do not.

I'm muslim but Bob Marley is a prophet, he is one of the "music pprophets" with James BROWN, Curtis MAYFIELD, FELA KUITI etc.
@ All
In Africa the most reknown Dominican is Johnny Pacheco, el maestro he did many shows in Africa and dedicated a song to my country "dakar punto final". You can check also the Fania All Stars concert in Zaire/Kinshasa during Ali/Foreman fight. And merengue is also known all over africa since the 60s.
Johnny Pacheco knows and praised his african roots.
The other big guy is Tatico Henriquez !!!
Do you really think that if the ALL the HAITIAN population had decided to conquer the spanish side you'll get your independence ? It's ONLY the rich high class mulatttoes who decided to control spanish ayiti.
My question is WHY you hate so much the HAITIANS who colonized your country for 22 yrs?
Why you don't have this same hate against Spain or the USA ? These 2 countries also colonized spanish ayiti right ?
During USA invasion (twice in 20th century) rapes, tortures, killing was spreading all over la hispaniola by the US marines, why don't you hate them like the Haitians ? Spanish destroyed millions of Native Indians in the caribbeans and south America why don't you hate them as well ?
You need to check your heart "bro" because hatred will f..ck you up...
Plus the "Hero" Trujillo used by all the racists, was a collaborator during the 1st american invasion he used to kill or torture all the true patrtiots who fought the US Marines.
Here is their example a man who collaborated with the Americans to colonize his own country. You can check all I said in ythe same book....
nehesy..........Your point is well taken..........The Dominican people need a future; it's not helping us to dwell in the past.
