Hm, why did I had the feeling this discussion was going to turn to skin color and race?
Because that's the sad reality of DR, tiguere. If the sisters were " prietas" with " pelo malo", i bet you you wouldn't even hear about them.
The things we can discuss without this issue popping up is becoming smaller and smaller.
BTW, when will there be a monument built in memory of the Dominicans that were massacred during the Haitian invasions?
Montro, you still keep mixing apples and oranges when it comes to history. If you talking about Dessalines, there wasn't even Dominicans back then ! :tired: DR wasn't a State yet. The "
Spanish-speaking Eastern Hispaniolans", what racist hispanophiles want to call " Dominicans" before 1844 to encite nationalism for their advantage, many were collaborating with Ferrand, in making incursions into Haiti to "
kidnap children and sell them into slavery". You tell me, why I didn't see that written down on my history book when i was a kid??
Why you haven't wondered, why the pre-1844 " Dominicans", who were in the majority people of color, before 1822,
didn't grow the balls to abolished slavery like the Haitians did in their country?
If you build a score board on the bad and good that Haiti has done towards DR, It comes out " even" with DR before 1937. Example:
Abolition of slavery.
logistical help in the Anexation War, when racist Spanish soldiers were telling dark Dominicans: "
if you were in Cuba or Puerto Rico,you would have been a slave".
So, do the math montro, find some " balance",and not all that Balaguerista brainwashing bull**** ! :tired:
Will Haiti build a monument in their own country to commemorate the Haitian massacre created by Trujillo?
Will Haiti build a monument to commemorate the Jeremie Massacres of 1964 by Duvalier? Or maybe for all the unknown people who were victims of the Ton Ton Macoutes?
These are just a few rhetorical questions of many, so lets not hijack this thread.
Not wanting the hijack the thread, just the indiference of the actual government towards other victims of Trujillo. Haiti can do whatever they want, this is DR. Fernandez and his party are keeping the " lavasaco" attitude of the conservative ultra-right wing elites.
