Those Of Us Who Have Lived Here For A Long Time,..........
..and have Dominican,"Street Smarts" have a much better chance of "Surviving" a confrontation with a Dominican.First, we avoid that confrontation! If it is "inevitable",we can "outsmart" the Dominican,if we are aware of how the Dominican "MIND",or lack there of,functions!
It is fairly easy to,"Get Over" on a Dominican,but not for the occasional tourist! They act timid. We come from societies where we don't want to cause a "scene",or "rock-the-boat"! You have to know when to "Make Nice" with a Dominican,and when to "Put them in their place"!
As head of securuty for 11 years at a large medical complex in Santo Domingo,I have seen,and heard,just about "EVERYTHING"! I can't tell you the number of times I have heard,"I know,"So-And-So",and this is the last day you will ever work in the DR !" That is the "mild" stuff! I had guns drawn on me several times! Over where the "Big $hit" Politico was going to park his,or HER car! Most Dominicans have an inferiority complex when it comes to White foreigners! You can use that to your advantage! I have had several traffic accidents. When,and if,they can catch up to me after the "accident",I just start yelling about having them arrested,and spending many years in "La Victoria" prison if they want to "mess" with me! Or I drive to a police station,and tell the police that the person ran into me,and now is "threatening" me! I give the polive person "in Charge",500 or 1000 pesos and tell them to "Work It Out" with the other guy!Then I leave!
The "Other" problem,is trying to have a "Relationship" with,as "AZB" would say, "UBHs"(Ugly Black Hos)! Just screw them as much as you want,but NEVER act,or think, like it is anything more than a business transaction!
