I feel sorry for CD, but if he decides to do the same for Colombia as he did in the DR and CR, God help him. They won't be quite so tolerant. And I still can't fathom how Steve Harvey is worth $200 million and still be such a no-talent idiot. Reference the Miss Colombia fiasco.

I reread the question posed in the thread title.

I'm thinking the answer at this point is, 'yes'.

Just to be clear - your post deserved far more snark than I chose to bestow upon it. Your post was the equivalent of a foreigner who, having visited the Deep South a few times, thinks he is an authority about the US and claims everyone in the States is a redneck, drives pickups, eats BBQ and flies a Confederate flag in their back yard.

Let me get this straight. You're using your countless hours of "reading" and "watching Youtube clips" to try to school me about MY country and MY people - where I was born and raised and went to university as well - based on your version of Youtube "professional historians"? Really? Seriously?

I suggest you try reading Frank Moya Pons or Mella Chavier instead of doing Google Searches or thinking windsurfing in Cabarete makes you an expert on Dominicans. You might learn something.

Huh, you made your post right after jota1500's agreement with me and referenced a couple of points I had made, so it sure looked that way to me. Whatever, if you aren't calling me a racist, then I have no issue with you, my mistake. Actually it's from my father's book, there's even a photo of my 10 yr old father sitting on a mule than John was holding.

My post which you feel deserved more snark was "As long as the BS double standard exists, there will always be racists. Too many so-called minorities, the definition of a racist is that "any time a white person disagrees with a person of color or minority that white person is a racist." Why is that blacks can call a nigger a nigger or a white person a nigger and it's all cool, but when a white person does-he's a racist?

Really, please explain just how the fuk you made the leap from that to your BS analogy about some foreigner visiting the Deep South? I think you got your toes stepped on, you didn't like the fact that may have someone exposed the fact that you and any other minorities who try to hide behind a double standard are just as racist as any Klansman.

Next point, don't try and twist things around. I wasn't trying to school you on your country or your people. You inferred that I was completely ignorant regarding the racial strife and history of the DR. I simply demonstrated that wasn't the case, and you should at least give me a little credit or trying to learn something factual about places that I visit, regardless of my choice of media.

Last point, show me where I said or inferred that I was an expert on the DR or anything else for that matter. I was fully aware of the Dominican War of Independence, which is what I think you were referring to which was between 1822-1844, not 1821-1856 that you posted, but who really cares?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominican ... dependence

But to answer you question, the DR is one of the oldest countries in the New World but is still at least a hundred years behind everyone else. What on earth makes you think that I or anyone else here, other than a dominicano or someone thinking about living full-time in the DR, would ever have any interest in reading those authors?

Oh, and I did learn something-you are a minority AND a racist.

Anything further on "Cuba Dave"?

Forget Cube Dave. Let's get back to:

Are you Smarter than the Average RACIST(s)???

You must be very proud. (WTF??? Who would ever admit that?)

I have never heard a black person call anybody "nigger". Get your hearing checked.

Sorry Orange but if you have never heard a Black refer to other Blacks with the "N" word you either have never spent any time around Blacks or YOU need to also get your ears checked!!! I agree, I have never heard a Black refer to a white that way!!!

And, Please do not misunderstand this to mean that I am in any way supporting daddylonglegg!

blacks say nigga and if you think it means the same thing and thats what you hear i get it
its kind of confusing
and i've been told "you my nigga" a lot but don't reciprocate unless im especially close to the guy
I had a guy in SL one night tell me he hated white people, then say "no not you, you my nigga", and then turn around and tell people i was a racist.
Dr. Mario can back me up on that one.
It seems like people use whatever they want to be offended these days and everyone hates everyone
but thats a toxic word and everyone knows it
oh and Phuck CD

Thank you LaD, I thought it was obvious what I was trying to say, maybe I should have said black people don't say the word "nigg-er" There is a huge difference between "nigg-er" and "nigg-a".

Btw- I was raised in Brooklyn, NY, so I never saw any black people. Excuse my ignorance.

HaHa,I guessed correctly 2 of of 3 CRT vets who would come to the rescue of their brother. Had guessed BD, BB57, and was thinking PR but 2/3 ain't shabby.

Just to be clear, when did I ever say it slavery was right? Or that using hate speech a good idea?

My family were settlers who were both slave owners and injun fighters. You guys are looking at the 1700's and 1800's with a 2016 POV and so the question of "justifying my families activities" is ignorant, because it does not apply. It was a labor based economy and immigrants were trying to forge a new life for themselves, manifest destiny and such.

Many people have a warped( Hollywood) idea of what it was really like. For most families like mine they would have a couple-man/wife who helped with the family business(no plantation). They didn't sell the K*ds, and when too old to work were allowed to stay on the farm till they died. They worked side by side day in and day out-often depending on each other for their life (ie injun attacks.) Many slaves after being freed voluntary stayed with their former owners simply because they had no place to go or were too old.

Slaves were expensive, (average around $40,000) and those settlers in this country who could not afford a slave were known as "white trash"-origin of the term . If any of your families were settlers in this country and you DID NOT own at least one slave, then they were PROBABLY LOSERS. So, yes I'm proud that they were successful. I also mentioned the story of John, the black boy my family "adopted " during the depression to demonstrate to show how attitudes changed, How many of you guys who want to criticize can say that YOUR family showed that level of compassion??????

The way you guys sound every successful family of early immigrants in the USA should bear some yoke of guilt. What about the slave owners who were black, should they feel this guilt too or since they are black, do they get a pass?

As far as hating on whitey goes, I hope that you guys understand that slavery was a choice. Here's a black guy to explain it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C00mK6aUaq8

Also the first slave owner in the US was a black man named Anthony Johnson.

But the 480,000 slaves of the 12.8 million shipped, that ended up in the US were actually the lucky ones.

If anyone care, since it's apparent that most of you don't, since this thread was on this topic before,
the incumbent mayor was declared by the President of the country as the winner of the mayoral election in Sosua. This is not good news. But in Sosua anything can happen.
