I had a very bad experience with Rocky's Bar.

I personally believe he mistreated due to the color my skin.

I have good friends of mine who are white, latin, black and asian.

I told him and he brushed it off. His staff didn't even replace the bathroom essentials daily. I had to complain.
He hides his racism very well.

As a business owner, he should have offered me to come bak and make it up but he didn't even acknowledge my complaints.

He made it very clear I was not welcomed at his business. I posted my experience at other webistes that are mindful of racism abroad.

Cry me a river, Rick is the most gracious host on the North Coast, I stayed in his condo a few months ago, and he bent over backwards to make sure I had 24/7 internet in my apt, extra towels, and a beautiful Mocana on each arm for the duration of my trip.

Post your real name and dates of travel or crawl back in your hole with the other rock creatures.

truly yours,

tio tambo'

PS: I am a turbine wearing Muslim and arrived on my camel, and Rick even fed my camel and got him a date, so please take your racism trump card to another website.

Ever wondered why the darker skin staff is in the back and not out greeting the public.

I'll give Rick the benefit of the doubt. Since DR can be very skin color conscious, he has to do this to keep business going.

All his staff are Domincan so if they are in the back they are cooking and if they are in the front then liquor.

I just want to be treated respectfully like I do all my fellow earthlings.

If you can't treat me properly, then I can't respect you or in this case Rick.

Dominicans might be skin color conscious but Rockys clients are mostly not Dominican, they are tourists, visitors and ex-pats of all nationalities, races and backgrounds, and my experience is that they could care or less what is the color of the skin of the staff working there. Your comments are totally without substance.

There have been trolls and sock puppets in the past who have tried to affect Rockys success with their meaningless posts. Your unfounded allegations will have no affect on Ricks business so save yourself some time and crawl back under your rock now.

Yes I could not remember how that went but only you would have caught that !

I wish Rodney King was still with us as I remember his famous quote.

" Why can't we all just get a LOAN "

I really don't understand some people. Some of my best friends here on the island are black, Italian, French, German, etc. I don't have a prejudice bone in my body. Some people just love to bash people on the Internet because it is anonymous. Well sir, I can tell you that if you felt that way while dealing with me, then you sir ARE MISTAKEN.

To Kyle, have I even ever met you?

Ever consider maybe it was your actions or attitude that might be cause for your supposed unwelcomeness at Rockys, and not your skin color?????

And I was in a couple situations in Sosua where American blacks exhibited reverse racism towards me.

One example, which really ****ed me off, was arriving in Sosua on my first day, going to the Orange store, and a group American blacks laughing out loud at me for speaking Spanish with the Orange agent.

"Ha ha ha!!!!!" White boy trying to speak Spanish!!!!!!" WTF is so FUNNY about that????? Even if my Spanish isn't perfect?????

And why did they have to bring up skin color????????

Racism ain't a one-way street.........

just avoid the place like i do.......


I guess THIS is why. Just trying to understand why you would make a statement like this is all. After all, if we have never met, then why avoid my place and if we have, well I certainly don't remember you.

Before you throw a loaded word like racist around perhaps you should examine the circumstances. If you feel you received bad service than you have a right to complain. You don't have a right to shout racism on the basis of one incident. I travel to Sosua quite often as do many of my friends and acquaintances, We are of all colors, races and ethnicities. Rick has treated all of us with respect and provided excellent service.
Sure he may run out of ribs sometimes but never in all the years has there been a hint of racism.
However like many of us I am sure that Rick does not like everybody. Doesn't make him racist, it does make him human.
And just for the record I am a Black male that lived through the 60's and I know racism when I see it.
