Now people stop saying those bad things about Bubba for not thanking the DR in his speech on Haiti

This statement has a lot more weight than Bill Clinton's absent remarks, due to the fact that it comes from official State Department sources.
Slick Willy might work for the UN, but he is retired from the US government and only his wife (the boss) still works there, as a quasi political appointee.
This belated statement is called "damage control" for the obvious Clinton "faux pas", but it does accomplish to bring attention to the Haitian cause and possibly attract more donors, which is what Haiti needs, and the better conditions become in Haiti the better for the DR as a whole.

LF, is an empty suit and has done NOTHING for either country.

This is political BS.

DR can only do so much, Haiti needs help from larger countries. DR has alot of problems to solve on our side before we can take on more problems.

@Generoso

See you are acknowledge, and your point on this issue is well taking. Thank you Sir.

I said the same thing in the last post where DR can help Haiti most by allowing some of their investors to invest in doing business in Haiti. This does not require DR to provide money or its resources. But that has not happened and for several reasons mostly lying in third world mentalities.

But for the State Department to issue this really mundane response to DR's media attack for acknowledging their roles in the development of Haiti is laughable. I am trying to figure out what have they done. Accepting illegals and students in most regards is something customary other neighboring nations do, except when you are in the island of Hispaniola, where it suppose to be some kind of high end disastrous adventure.

70% of the health budget for towns on the border with Haiti are spend on treating Haitians migrants health issue such women that crossed the border for the sole purpose of giving birth their children in Dominican Republic soil.Wwe do not deny health services to any foreigners in public hospitals and what this guy is saying is insane. Dominican Republic contribute more to Haiti than any other country by far by allowing 2.5 millions illegals Haitians to work and live free in this country. To all of you that voted for President Barrack Obama it is good that this is happening.

LIE-onel Fernandez could do a lot for Haiti by donating the useless METRO to them. I am sure the can come up more than 20,000 riders per day!

just out of curiosity since we know haiti best.”. what are americans going to do with the herds of mexicans that smuggle into their great nation? el sol sale para todos!

i do remember Leonel donating 80 millions pesos on medicine supply three to four yesterday ago. And if you josean would stop trashing Leonel for everything that happens on the other side of the island may be he do more for those needed people

Good morning to All.

Guys it is not feasible for DR to Help Haiti anytime soon. DR is not totally out of the gate of poverty. It's nothing but politics as usual. However, If any of these dominant countries wanted to help Haiti's cross over to become a self sufficient land, ithey would of done it years ago. It's nothing but talk. They know what needs to be done in order for Haiti to grow. DR is dealing with it 's own problems, and washington is trying paint a positive picture like GENEROSO said (Damage Control). Haiti is loaded with NGO's !!!! and received more help than most of these other countries go figure!!!Until now there is a $416 Million promised 6 yrs ago and only 4 millions was hand over and guess to who ? NGO. What have they done with that money? Guys this bigger than any of us, all we can do is hope that have a change of heart and stop the bullies. have u guys heard International republican institute? google it

There, I hope most of you are happy now. Now that they have given recognition to DR. Even though it was literally a stupid point of argument that many thought that Bill Clinton did not mention DR on purpose. I mean people do not revolve their speeches around any kind of petty dynamics by singled out individual nations. The mentioned of the other Latin Countries which he stated helped Haiti was suffice enough generally to indicate that any Latin Countries which sees or deems fair to want to help Haiti could is the message he was trying to convey in so more or little context, but I forget some people here are too damn ignorant and literal to have understood simply that.

"And if you josean would stop trashing Leonel for everything that happens on the other side of the island may be he do more for those needed people"

I am honored that you think I have that much power over LIE-onel Fernandez decision making!

Indeed, DR is not in a full capacity to cater to Haiti's problem when Haiti's own Government are not pro-active to tackling their own issues. I agree 100% on that premise indeed. Haiti's problems are not DR's and if DR do chose to help, it should be recognized as well as it is at DR own free will to want to do so, but not obligatory. That premise, no matter how many have tried to claim that is what Haitians want, has never been established by Haitians as to that is what they want DR to do. However, I am sure this does not concern the fact that Haiti perhaps might want DR to be more humane about some the Human Right violations social issues of what has been happening to Haitians within DR's borders. That is of course totally different matter and we should never try to confuse their entities as to be the very same matter.

stan,
good point. DR is not fully developed. Why should we help when DR is still considered 3rd world?

Haitians know that they have to work toward solutions for Haiti themselves, but as I am also sure they do welcome help from any other nations who wish to want to help them given their Deplorable / Implorable" situation now. At the same time, much like any other Country, we can bet our asses that Haiti does not want to get undignified and be chastised for such help if such help will come at the cost of those Countries belittling and derogate Haiti which seems to be the agenda of many on here wanting to bask, boast, rubbing DR's thus far "little prosperity" is has accomplished in recent years by defaming Haiti and Haitians as less than human beings as many have done on here. Mostly this is the efforts of those who do not want to see any peaceful resolutions and better relations between the two nations as they wish to keep the same divisive practice of division to reign and plague the island as usual.

Afrolatino:

I agree with you 100% regarding respecting human rigths to your fellow country men,
what Dominicans have to do to make Haiti happy is to bend over and let Haitians rule
Dominican Republic like a ghetto.

Afrolatino.

Also agree 100% with your last comment all the countries have to let Haitians enjoy their place in History about being the 1st black free nation in the new world, being prosperous
200 years ago and all the credit that you want to take from the past but then I believe on my humble
opinion that Haiti has no right to force other nations to comply with any childish pride from the past but instead shut up, being nice and thank the whole international community and DR for not letting
Haitians to practice cannibalism.

Hey Mr. Charles Shapiro why don't we just unify Mexico and the united state of America to be one big happy country with one common problem instead of having two, since you took California, new Mexico, Arizona and other states away from them. it is good to sit on your side and make this false accusations about our beloved Dominican republic when your country on the hand cannot solve their immigrants problem. I love Barrack Obama way of putting pressure on a small country like the dr.

" I have that much power over Leonel 's decision making"
Rabia antileonelosis can also make someone delusionnal and mythomanic.

I am looking for people who long for attention by provocating Leonel Fernandez.
I am also looking for perverts who get sexual gratification each time they post a dumb comments critizing Leonel Fernandez..

JRRubi,

Naive as you seem to pretend to be, no one has ever asked of DR to bend over and allow Haiti to rule DR as a ghetto. That is an ignorant badgering statement right there on your part inciting ill reactions tapping into the resented xenophobes most already have on here. Do not try to put in the very same basket what is considered to be an immigration / migratory issue with the actual human right violations, nor the social plights of Haiti which cause Haitians to cross over as excuses to say such demeaning statement in effort to win an argument.

As I said, do not confuse one issue for the other; much worse the subject was actually about DR (or better yet) Dominicans who wanted recognition that Bill Clinton had forgotten to mention DR in a given speech. There is a migratory issue which is the cause of lack of opportunity in Haiti not being provided by the Haitian government indeed and their lack of pro-activeness on the issue as well as DR's authority are not pro-active enough because they are so deep within the corruption arena profiting for the situation as well.

i aint tryna go all up n ppl's buisness or anything but wats wrong wth obama. other than he hates haiti i dont know why and he's rude to our president. wow i just said what waswrong with him. lol.

MIss Haiti,

Obama do not hate Haiti. Preval is just an uneducated, ill mannered president who do not adhere to diplomatic protocols presidents should adhere to.

Call 1-800-I Cuckoo and ask for etiennc01, the number one NUT, since AllNUT just got banned!

In fact in recent summit in, if I recall Trinidad, Preval acted rudely and improper cutting a line, grabbing the arm of Obama from sideways thus had shown a reflection on how unruly most Haitian politicians thus a reflection many will try to associate with most Haitian given the already known stigmas about Haiti.

This site bans quite partially only those they seem to know might possibly be Haitians (lol). I have seen the worse threads, remarks and ill statements posted by many other Dominicans on here that get totally ignored whom do not adhere to the rules at all. This site being a Dominican site or not. Ill stated racist remarks that are discriminative should not be said about people of any creed especially given the proximity between DR and Haiti which amid all actually do share an island given the circumstances even population. So what this is a Dominican site? Doesn't mean Haitians cannot be on it. Much like America is America and there are several American sites do Americans try to ban those that are not Americans from their sites under premises of knowledge they are of different creed? So who is us the DR trying to subject others not to be here based on their creeds? So much about the concept of us the DR being a melting mix pot or is that per choices of creeds we deem worthy?

well yeh the president suks. u knw he danced wth mii aunt years ago be4 he was president nd aint pay her jak. and oh. but haitians arent rude.well the educated 1's. I just dont see why everyone wont just get along. yeh haiti use to have the dominicans as slave and stuff and yeh urmad but that was in the past along time ago. just like unitedstates has to respect us. i meen we helped them fight therewar. even though i was born in orlando but still. oh yehwhy do ppl say haitian ppl smell bad? i know i dont.

united states got there head so far up there ass, one country cannot solved another country problem . the dominican republic has slums and poverty too. not to mention a high rate of corruption. haiti is what it is for a reason , they have corruption high crime rate , and they also practiced voodo. there goverment wouldt lift a finger to help there citizens . united states really needs to get of there high horse. there country was founded on stolen land genosided and manipulation and racism.

k yeh haitians do voodoo or whatever but there arelike a thousand other places that do voodoo to. I mean im a christian dont really care about that. but hellborn 25 your beginning to sound canadian they say that the immagrants are ruining there country. yeh crime rates go up of course when other people move in. but its not like the dominican republic was perfect before the haitians started coming in for a better life and work.and america aint the only racist place on earth I know there are some racist ppl in the dominican republic yeh haiti has em everywhere does so dont pointin a finger at another place be4 ur own place.

Miss Haiti please stick to the subject. Please you are all over my screen

"So what this is a Dominican site? Doesn't mean Haitians cannot be on it".
YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! many dominicans have been banned for crazy reasons.

"So who is us the DR trying to subject others not to be here based on their creeds? So much about the concept of us the DR being a melting mix pot or is that per choices of creeds we deem worthy"?
choices of creeds deemed worthy is the correct answer. tommorow though the correct answer will be racial choices made at birth. LOLOLOLOLOL

Stan earl person how am i on ur screen. im stickin 2 th subject but i was replyin 2 what som1 else said. I feel so unwanted. Im just tryna bii all nice.k let mii stop anyways im not getting this are they trying to tell the dominican republic to take of haiti. if so that is unfair. I meen our president does suck.I meen when Aristide (i think thats how you spell it ) was president everyone ate . but i dont know what this man is doing I meen he's just sitting on his butt while we're suffering I dont think so. ( oops im not suffering but my ppl are lol).

Miss haiti and Stan Earl. what we are trying to do here is to reach a common ground..just remember Intelligence and good manners know no frontiers and we all are human beings we shouldn't dwell on the past....there is always someone who try to mess thing up....Please don't sink to their level

thanks

Honest I can respect that. If i have offended anyone I sincerely apologize...

wow u ppl r so nice compared 2 the dominicans on youtube. well have a nice day jesus is coming soon by the way.

WE might have different views on this matter, but we still have to respect each other. And I appreciate everyone in here. It shows that intelligent D and H can hold a dialogue without cutting each others head.

misshaiti if you are going to go by the people on you tube to generalize then you are most ignorant. you tube has some of the worst episodes of filth you will ever witness. not to mention ignorance.

Hispaniola No, Yo Soy !!!!


I assure you it's coming soooooooooon !!!!

that isnt what I was going to generalize on. I'm not that dumb. I dont go by stero types.

Miss Haiti you sound like a sweet lady who care about your people in Haiti..but sometimes it is good to be knowledgable about the subject...it is like MIRABUENO said...I have met many smart haitians and stupid as well as smart dominican and stupid one...it takes all kinds to make the world...and common sense knows no frontier regardless of our languages or customs,mostly, the down fall of nation nowadays is due to corruption.....in order words, people(mainly politics) who refused to invest on the 3 pillars of a national economy...health, education and foods....and the nation will prosper

wow honest ur the honest person i've met nd ur so nice y couldn't ther bii mor ppl lik u on earth!!!!!!!!

bella miai you are right but it seems those who writes badly about haitians are not cencored. This is a racist site. I forgot the DR has freedom of speech. If they don't respect basic human rights, so what makes them allow free speech.
