That "Haitiano" she is talking shit about probably turns out to be a not too distant cousin!

[QUOTE=Frannie;1183299]Given that I am a fair skinned [b]Caucasian[/b].[/QUOTE]Bit of a threadjack, but are they still using that stupid expression in the US? I use to hear it a lot in police dramas on TV but not so much in stuff made during the last two decades. It derives from racial theories that were discredited a century ago except among Nazis. I thought it had finally been consigned to the trashcan.

[QUOTE=Frannie;1183299]Probably so. Today she commented that as a result of lazing by the pool I was ¨muy negro¨ and that I was starting to look like a Haitiano. Given that I am a fair skinned Caucasian with straight gray hair, this seems like a touch of hyperbole. However, my wife, like most Dominicans, is never wrong. Meanwhile I have been honing my Haitian Creole conversational skills with some of my new compatriots and am completing my studies in Voudoun.[/QUOTE]I've known this before, but it still amazes me that Domincans are so brain washed regarding race. I guess the culture has implanted in them that there are no other realities. I'm not sure if it stems from their Haitian hatred, or their wanting to be superior. Its one of the reasons I could never take a Dominicana serious, or ever trust her. Two years ago I was in the room with my Dominicana, who is darker than me, and I said you are black. She sat up shook her head and said she is never black. I said what are you, she said"taino" or something like that. Can you imagine if I brought one of these girls to the States (which I would never do) and I took her to the family reunion and she says "I'm not black"? The looks I would get would be priceless. Or if she looks at a baby and say"he is so black is he Haitian"? I would get run out the family.

Racial skin tone social structures is something that is passed on from generation to generation in Latin America. It is something installed in them from infancy and it's impossible for them the think otherwise. Latinas are very ignorant when it comes to these subjects and trying to argue with them or make them change their minds is futile.

[QUOTE=Mr Gogo;1182801]I fly out today so thought I'd get a good night sleep, to be fresh looking when my Thai girlfriend picks me up at the airport. Its 3am and I'm restless so decided to walk down el flow to pickup a stragler. After dodging all the crack heads that linger around the curve at Terra Linda saw a girl walking down the street leaving Classico dressed nice. I said donde tu va? She said home. I said how much to go home with me? She said 2500p, Damn its 3:30am. I turned and ignored her expecting a counter offer. After ten seconds looked over my shoulder and she was walking away. Since when do girls go home with nada verses making a deal? Damn hurt my feelings LOL. Only in the new Sosua.[/QUOTE]Yea gogo, I noticed this a lot when I was there last month. Usually a chica would damn near let me call the price, but now they are stuck on $2500 or nothing. I was like wow. What happened to my sweet sosua. Lololo

[QUOTE=Orgasmico;1183247]Why should she settle for that when there has been such a big spike in New Sosua mongers, most of whom don't know the first thing about the country, the culture, or how to negotiate in the DR? He gets there and tell the girl it's his first trip, he doesn't know spanish and has no regard for anything but wanting to bust a quick drunk nut and go to sleep. They've started outnumbering the the seasoned mongers like you so the girls have started trying to clown everyone. I look around when I'm in Sosua and I see mostly raw newbies. Guys are regularly giving street rats 100 bucks for short time.[/QUOTE]Yes you are right about this. I had a regular quote me 3000. I was like, 'baby, you never charged me that before, ' she kind of just gave me a look. But you see that weekend there was a white party at new garden with a lot of NEW YORKERS and I bet a lot of them were paying that price. I think I may start doing just haitianas and regulars who know what I pay. LOL. I respect inflation and all but goddayum!

[QUOTE=Jaosousa;1182782]GFE is more fun, than mechanical sex. Passion (or great acting) is better than being with a chica who is just going through the motions. Sometimes the less attractive chicas, can be more passionate. I would rather be with an average looking passionate chica, than with a "10" model chica, who is a cold fish.[/QUOTE]DR chicas are just like transportation.
ST puta = motoconcho ride (short and a little dangerous)
TLN = Taxi (a little more relaxed, go where you want during the ride.
GF = Rental Car (yours when you reserve)
Wifey = Your car (go when and where you want, but pay the maintenace)
Choose your ride, fellas!

Helpmann Returns
I am proud to announce the North Coast return of my friend, Helpmann, a Monger's Monger! He is one of the most knowlegeable, profligate posters on the South Coast. Because he and I always like the same chicas, my favoritas will be placed in detention until his departure! While in Buenos Aires, a city of 10 million, amazingly, we independently, found and liked the same chicas. And in the DR, at different times, we had the same novia! Sosua, you have been given fair warning, Studly Helpmann will 'blow-away' all the chicas!

When I asked her who she would vote for, she said Obama, ¨because he is brown like me. '
But every society and language has its conventions, that don't necessarily make much sense once you go outside of the society where those conventions are accepted.
Even among Europeans having a good sun tan was not historically considered to be a sign of good health or sexiness, but a lower status indication of working as a field hand or sailor, and having pale or white skin was always considered a sign of high status, wealth and class. Nothing really changes.

That "Haitiano" she is talking shit about probably turns out to be a not too distant cousin![/QUOTE]Africa is a big continent and it seems that black Dominicans and black Haitians come from different parts of Africa, even when they might look alike to you, they're different.
For Latinos, there are different shades of black.
I'd say that Haitians are looked down, not because of the color of their skins but their poverty. It's known that poverty is a result of lack of initiative and people with that kind of attitude is not respected.
We (mongers) are viewed as "rich" and because of it, above the women we deal with, the putas, in spite of our skin color but once we go up the ladder, the skin color does matter, and it's good to be aware of that in order to avoid disappointments.

[QUOTE=MiamiHeatLuver;1183341]Latinas are very ignorant when it comes to these subjects and trying to argue with them or make them change their minds is futile.[/QUOTE]Why call someone ignorant because it doesn't conform to your way of thinking? Remember that it goes both ways, you see them as ignorant and so they see you!
Arguments are futile, the result is adding more fuel to the flame. Nobody wins!
You don't have the power to change anyone but yourself, so your choice is to conform to their ways or live and let die.
By the way, when black with money (happens all the time) hook up with white women (black women don't act the same) , isn't that stating that white women are better?
Personally, I'm a Latino who grew up thinking I was white but when it comes to women, I do 'them all, and my best phucks ever were with black women, so when given a choice, it's obvious what I choose!

[/QUOTE]
You're joking, right? You're telling me that the Haitians are poor because they lack initiative? What about the poor Dominicans? Are they also poor because they lack initiative? Forgive me for not noticing the abundance of job opportunities in the DR / Haiti.
For the record, this "lack of initiative" b.s. is the same argument used on Blacks in the USA; that the reason Black people are poor is because they "lack initiative" (read "lazy"). As a Latino, you should know that Mexicans and Puerto Ricans get hit with this stereotype as well.

Jay[/QUOTE]Not sure, but POP does seem to be in Emily's path. There is a good chance you could get stuck at MIA International (or whichever airport you are flying out of to POP) :
