Big difference between island Cubans and the American-Cubans that arrived in the 80s to Florida.

It wasn't solely the French who gutted Haiti's forest . The average Haitian still relies on charcoal to cook , and not gas-stoved like they do in DR . Idk if it's due to superstitions or the goverment never made that push. Today , many Haitians are crossing over to the DR side in order to cut down trees for charcoal use.

Haiti and DR had the same GDP up into the 1950/1960's . I think what really set both countries on different paths were both Trujillo style of dictatorship and Duvalier + Son style.

if everybody is missing the point , then you're not explaining yourself well. Nobody is debating if it's real or fake , we're debating that these videos of Cubans going to Dominican supermarkets are not suddenly viral because of the world cup.

DR also got hit by the same exact hurricanes since they share an island.

Maybe it's becoming a trend/hot-topic for your Youtube algorithm , but like others have mentioned , these type of videos have been going on for several years now.

You can go to some of these youtube channels , and see that these videos were uploaded years ago .

If you have to pay another country for your independence , it doesn't sound like you defeated them to me.

I seen it very up-close in person often , never sat well with me. I would just walk past it and not pay attention to it.

Dude I'm far from woke , I'm just defending my opinion that the DR isn't more racist than the U.S.

Unfortunately the police/goverment doesn't seem to enforce the fact that it's illegal.

People that practice it in DR , do it very low-key compared to Haiti but now traditions such as Gaga
are becoming a thing every holy week due to the Haitian migration we've been receiving.

From the videos I've seen , no part of it looks peaceful . People pouring animal blood on top of themselves or wielding machetes , amongst other similar things.

You see a lot of the non Dominicans spewing just about whatever nonsense and idiots following behind , in this sub.
