EXTRA, EXTRA: The Dominican Republic Bashed Haiti once again!!!

Haitians and Dominicans,

I have some questions.

Does Haiti have any leaders with any kind of backbone to talk to the Dominican Republic?

Also, is the Dominican President aware of all the injustice and human right violations going on in his Country?

Also I wonder if Haiti does not have any pride to talk back to those foreign politicians making all kinds of discriminatory claims against Haiti and its people...

Indeed, the Dominican Republic once again have bashed Haiti.

Recently in Dominican News a Dominican politician "Federico Antun Batlle" stated that: "hoy que Haití es el principal problema que tiene la República Dominicana como nación." Meaning or he is saying that Haiti/ Haitians are the ones to blame for the problems they face in DR. Yet, Preval had said nothing back to repudiated this divisive statement.

He does nothing and not even a direct public announcement to address this issue or to even try to engage with DR into some sort of a forum talk of any kind. No wonder why it seems that Haitians do not get any respect around the world, because it is clear that they do not have any representation to stand for them when statements like those make the news and came from especially the Dominican Republic.

At least other Countries are far away and do not share the same Island with Haiti.

Thus I could understand how feasible it might be to simply ignore them, but DR is right next door to Haiti.

Dominicans, Haitians, what do you all think about that?

Your comments, please.

Haiti should hold the Dominican Republic accountable and responsible for this divisive offensive slur of incitement that the Dominican Government and its politicians are creating for the people of both Nations who happens to share this Island together.

Statement like this only create more social problems.

Why does Haiti even have a leader if he will not stand up for Haiti?

It is a darn shame! You know what kills me the most...

Both Dominicans and Haitians are allowing themselves to buy into the false notions and differences that White Europeans have succeeded at implanting in their minds.

What makes a Dominican?

A Dominican is simply a mulatto.

Which means, a mixture of a former African slave and a White European.

The romanticize notion that they want to claim Taino Natives in the equation is simply an illusion to demeaning their African side of ancestry.

By saying White Europeans, that goes for France, Spain, Great Britain and Portugal and many more other countries on the European continent and its region.

The Tainos habited the entire Island of first originally named Ayiti, Quisqueya or Boyo. There is nowhere that I see it says Hispanola if not until came Christopher Columbus who, as history to tell you, massacred the Taino natives close to extinction by having killed 98% of the race. Thus any of them whom might have survived to repopulated, by today this blood would have fading and decimated; meaning indeed to a percentage closer to being non-existent of a mixture.

Now the Island was renamed or given a new name, "Hispanola." If Dominicans want to claim anything else that would mention Tainos, basically they are saying they are Ayitianos, Quesqueyans, or Bohioans (Boyo) thus would contradict their hatred for Haitians.

So let us say the whole Island is called Hispanola, thus that would make of the habitants of the Island Hispanolanos, would it not?

Of course yes. Because let us take Israel and Palestine for example.

Can either of them denounce or claim not being both Middle Eastern or Mediterrainians despite their differences?

Of Course not. So now ask a Dominican what is a Haitian see what the answer is going to be.

What is a Haitian?

Deny and accept it or not, a Haitian is an Afro-Latino, much like how you have Afro-American.

Why?

Well the region is called what...

Yes, Latin-America.

The Island is called what...

Oh yeah, Hispanola which before anything else it was called Ayiti, Quisqueya or Bohio (Boyo).

It is funny how an Island in whole in the very same region with the same general name can be so divided to absurdly have one side being called or consider themselves to be one thing and the other is being denied with so much bias that same right because of racial background, created differences and historical resentments.

As though Christopher Columbus had discovered them both separately on different separate occasion of some kind. Yet, it is said as a fact many times and once again that Haitians are Afro=Latinos mostly because Afro is due to the African ancestry and Latino given:

1) The region.

2) The language.

3) The linked history.

In addition to the culture of the Island itself of both Nations.

However, I know a lot of Dominicans and Haitians do not like to read to even check out this link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Latin_Ameri... There are those languages that constitute one to be latino as it states they are called the languages of Romance.

No, not as in Romantic, but as of in Rome because they spoke Latin.

Those language are French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Creole or any dialects derived from any of those above specific strong latin derivatives

Anyways, the divisive differences that exist between the two nations and their peoples are due to strong past resentments given the History of their histories which race has always played a major role in.

The Dominican Republic even after the Haitian two ruling occupations and several attempts after that was ruled by two Haitian Decent Presidents known in their Country's presidential history.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulises_Heureaux He was born in Puerto Plata, but his father was Haitian and his mother was from St. Thomas.

He served 3 presidential terms.

Obviously he was assassinated.

Uhmm, I wonder why...?

Then also, there was en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Santana who was born in Hincha, now Hinche, Haiti which makes him Haitian.

He, too, served three presidential terms.

He was known as the best military strategist for Dominican Republic.

Also believe if or not, he was the first constitutional elected President of the Dominican Republic and the only to have successfully separate the Dominican Republic from Haiti.

PS: I am Dominican-Haitian-Jewish and sometimes or at times, I often wish I did not carry the blood of neither Countries.

Yet there are times, when I look at the rich culture, the humanity (Although lack there of) and the history of the whole Island I realize that I am part of two remarkable outstanding Worlds that could have done way a lot better to co-exist with one another respectfully and I hate myself for it that I can not get through neither one of them. That is the saddest bitter-sweet reality anyone should have to live with.
