[QUOTE=GrownMan1;1523160]T had no money and forgot to activate his Visa card before we left. He had me hot![/QUOTE]Probably more like "[i]conveniently[/i] forgot to activate his Visa card before we left", lmao!

Do people in DR are racist to dark skin people. I just read in a article that they are. I really don't understand this because some dominican people are dark skin too. I'm a dark skin person. Will I have any problems with people down there!

They are lots of people of all different colors having the time of there lives fucking girls they thought they could never have in this life time. But as we all have discussed previously on this site the DR is a racist country so when travelling out of the town of sosua just make sure your passport is in good order and in most cases they will be no problems when they see you are not from Haiti.

A Dominican woman I knew in the US immediately identified a passing street person as a "Haitiano", based on his color, though he was not Haitian at all.

However as a visitor to the DR what is most important is your demeanor, language, dress, behavior, and the money that you are spending on goods and services, so you are unlikely to encounter direct discrimination based on skin tint in places where you are readily identifiable as a tourist. At least no more so than in the US or the UK (which might not be saying much.)

In my opinion, a dark skin American gets different treatment than a dark or light skin Haitian the DR once their nationality established. Though very apparent Dominicans have a history of not identifying or embracing their African mixed bloodline. Like it or not it was a major political movement that their Powers that be felt was the best interests for their country's future. Unlike Cuba, their country was built on their Spanish embracement and African disassociation. They have received far more embracement from the world in all areas of economic, cultural, and political gains from this move. This is why African American aren't treated like African Haitian. They are American! If I country want to survive on is side of the Western Hemisphere, the good graces of Americans is 110% essential. All along the southern coast of DR African slaves were used for plantation labor. These African mated and infused with the Spanish, Native Dominican and Eurocentric population. Acknowledging only one side of Nationality. For them black is a color and not a Nationality. As a result, you get a noticeable darker skin along the southern coast than the Northern Coast were African slave labor were not as essential to the economy. Embracing their noticeable African bloodline does nothing for the Dominican. They don't have or need a good acceptance from Africa. They were not Caucasians, but they are not the crazy dark skin Haitians who at one time in history controlled them. The Haitian emancipated themselves from the French and destroyed all the economic Eurocentric investment as a result of there fight for freedom. They are still suffering from this move today. No major companies invest in poorer Haiti. They had a good trade relationship between the two sides. Dominican later block the borders turning on their Haitian neighbors and running them back into Haiti killing thousands. Today the Haitian are still not loved but are weakly tolerated and charged I think annually to come and work. Hence you see a large amounts Haitian chicas in major tourist area trying to make some cash.

And you will find these chicas to be less likely to want to have problems with the law. I took my Haitian chica with me to the Airport and I could read the fear in her eyes as she walk my the police official.

Yes sir it was STI. I only tipped him after the up grade. He did say if he needed the car they will come to the hotel and exchange it. He gave me a good history lesson and liked the fact I was intrigued. The down side was we really didn't need it. I just cost us more gas money.

[QUOTE=Wrx2005;1520341]Your caption reads Jan 3 Sosua. I would think that that would be one of the worst times to travel to Sosua looking for an abundance of talent. IMO, thats the time when most chicas are back home with their families enjoying the fruit of their labor. I sincerely expect things to change at the end of the month, as we near Super Bowl week. Thats the time chicas come out of the woodwork to descend on Sosua once again to make that money.[/QUOTE]What you say has merit.

Their bigotry is part of their culture. Combined with a low education level these view are allowed to grow unchecked. Almost every Dominican np matter their skin tone thinks they are white. Now for us tourist the color they see is green. It trumps all the other BS. The vast majority of Dominicans would be considered black in the US. This fact would shock them.

[QUOTE=Frannie;1523457]Many Dominicans have antipathy towards Haitians, who are generally darker skinned than Dominicans, so that is part of the story.[/QUOTE]Is the antipathy because of color or because of history? Haiti once ruled the D. R and later, during the dictatorship of Trujillo, wasn't there a bloodbath of real of imagined Haitians along the river separating Haiti from the D. R?

Which car rental company was this and how much was your original daily rate for the economy car you had rented?

Thanks

Good explanation OldKool, but it goes a little deeper from the Dominican standpoint. What you say is true, but it is a long, brutal, history associated with Haiti that contributes to the hatred of anything linked to Africa and blackness. To acknowledge the acceptance of possibly being black would also acknowledge Haiti. But the facts are in the skin tone.

Its the reason that I could never take a Dominicana seriously. To deny the color of ones history is to deny ones self now. The knowledge is knowing. But to deny what is obvious to the eye, and tell otherwise, is either ignorant or arrogant.

Morena and blanquita being most popular when describing their colors, sorry for my spelling.

Strangely enough, one chica can call some other girl 'morena' instead of señorita.
