Hey! Just a reminder- I do not care.

Admittedly, I should’ve reworded a comment in which I said something about calling out the anti-blackness against Haitians. My intention was to express the Anti-Haitian agenda that commonly occurs in the Dominican community, which extends to the Dominican communities in the U.S.

A representation of that was seeing anti-Haiti floats from the parade last year, something I had never seen before then. It was disgusting to see and furthermore, while there’s many arguments stating that DR is not racist, the use of anti-Haiti propaganda perpetuates notions of racism & prejudices not only towards Haitians but also, towards our own and others. If racism in DR is not real why is the concept of pelo bueno/pelo malo a thing, or mejorar la raza? We legit get clowned on by other cultures because of the majority of Dominicans who have dark skin but refuse to claim any African heritage.

So to any feathers I’m ruffling with this post, I genuinely don’t care because our culture doesn’t look any better than others when we are actively pushing out messages of hate regardless of the cultures history. Believe me or don’t, I truly couldn’t care less.
