I have tried to steer clear from this portion of the Forum and I could not longer stand it. I see that most threads here are closed, and I guess with good reason. Most of the Haitian vs Dominicans get closed as well and those are the ones that seem most interesting, as so many people's true colors come shining through.
I want to start by saying that I am Dominican and have nothing against any other race, including the Haitians. In fact, my hairstylist is Haitian and she has been a great friend for about 12 years now. At her hair salon I've seen a slew of people come by, good, bad and ugly.
After reading one of the posts, I just HAD to say something. I did not appreciate this post at all:
...Back to what I was saying, haitians in the USA or more successful than dominicans in general. I am talking about the mass the 9 to 5 people. Dominicans barely can speak english and work at the bodega. Have u ever been to Washington Hgts.(I almost vomitted because of all the filth) Have you ever been to North Newark the dominicans there are even making the P-Ricans move out. Have you ever been to Boston dominicans are working at every Go-Go bar. The only profession I see you guys mastering is prostitution and hair salons. To make it worse the second genration can't speak spanish nor english correctly.
So here it goes:
Haitians to be more successful than the Doms - how and why do you say that. Name a few for me, because we can go on for days on the success of Doms both in the US, Dom Rep and around the wrold.
Doms barely speak English - Im sorry to break it to you, but I can tell a Haitian's accent ANYWHERE. Some of us learn the language, others dont. Same with the Haitians. So what is the point here?
.... most Doms work in Bodegas - yes baby, some do. Did you also know that they OWN these bodegas? and the others working by their side are the cousins and brothers and wives. Also, most bodegueros own their own house IN THE STATES and live a full life back home in DR. I dont remember the last business that is known to be owned by the Haitians.
Washington Hghts made you want to vomit, P ricans are moving out - this statement is LUDICROUS! One of the only countries known for its clean people is the DR! you can go to ANY Dom's home (rich or poor) and they will have everything neat and tidy and CLEAN. Im sorry, I've visited many Haitian homes and I cannot say the same. Some of these folks have money, cant tell though, the smell is the same whereever you go... As far as the P Ricans moving out of Newark, Please come back to reality, these people own Newark, there is nobody moving them out.
Working at Go Go's and Prostitutes - Oh, I forgot there are NO haitian girls in the US or in DR working in the oldest profession...
The second generation doesnt speak English or Spanish - give me a break. We are bilingual to the fullest. Too bad that Patua is not spoken in more countries than any other language like Spanish is.
So there, here is my first debate. I assume I will be closed shortly.
