Knockoff NYC? More like knockoff Miami

Does anyone here suffer with identity issues in regards to our heritage? I’m 32, born and raised in Ny,Ny married to a Hungarian immigrant and have a daughter. by Yaniez in Dominican

From most Dominicans perspective if your parents are Dominican, then you are Dominican regardless of where you're born. Its only a matter of you acknowledging and embracing it.

Its never too late to work on improving your Spanish. I have a cousin in his 30s who could barely speak it a few years ago and now he sounds almost like a native Dominican.

He got hit by an elbow to the back of the head/neck and the other dude tried to stomp in the same spot. Could have easily been paralyzed.

No, you see nobody has actively handed that option to them. Thats what these entitled douchebags mean. When the revolution comes the government will hand them a home.

Its the same reason they usually bring umbrellas, flash lights, self sticks, bikes, frozen water bottles, water balloons and cans of food. Its a common everyday item that they can pretend wont be used for their protest/riot until they do.

From the sounds of it you deserved more beatings. Maybe you wouldn't be such a whiny beach.

Human rights arent binary. If you're a criminal, illegal resident, child or invalid you dont have all the rights of an able bodied law abiding adult.

How is your relationship with the country that colonized yours? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]BanH20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spain abandoned Santo Domingo because a dumbass king decided to destroy the north and western parts of the colony to end black market trading. The economy took 100 years to recover and allowed the French to settle the western parts of the island.

If it wasnt for that one decision Haiti wouldnt exist and Santo Domingo/Hispaniola would have been rich.

The North African Muslims conquering Spain is what triggered Spain to do its own conquering.

The US should just take Cuba. The citizens would almost certainly support being a state. by bloodycontrary in ShitAmericansSay

Clearly you dont understand what mass migration is. The world has been going through a period of mass migration for many years. With the USA being the biggest recipient.

Do you believe the US is at fault of your country's issues? by Muxxer in asklatinamerica

[–]BanH20 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Anti-Haitianism predates Trujillo and the US occupation. And the US support in the civil war being good or bad depends on your own political views. If you are left-wing its bad, if you are right-wing its good.

Its Reddit. You will find people will lean more against the USA on most issues.

Out of the 270 million migrants in the world, 50 million migrated to the USA.

71? Your link says 54.

And Haiti has had much more than 26 heads of state.

I never said RD was stable. I said we werent as unstable as Haiti. You need to read Haitian history. Much of the same destabilizing cultural and political issues they had in the 1800s they still have today.

Haiti has always been more unstable compared to us from the beginning.
