But the question was asked about Dark-Skinned Dominicans, not ones that probably don't come from African decent. As far as white people with african decent, that's completely different because white people aren't native to Africa (unless you consider North Africans to be white).
Yes, dark skinned dominicans are a mixture of several different cultures, so are many African Americans. Since most of us are mixed with white, does that allow us to deny our African roots, since we're no longer 100% African?
Again I don't care if they don't want to be considered "black", but I've seen Cubans and Brazilians that were more in touch with their African roots than Dominicans. I don't undestand why you wouldn't want to celebrate where your ancestors are from.

i'm not even dominican and i'm offended that this subject continues to pop up on this site
anyone can see that these threads are strictly meant to instigate and nothing else
the ones trying to sound knowledgeable on this subject couldn't be more outsiders to dominican culture, yet feel the need to make dominicans the subject of ridicule
this is taunting at best, because it sure isn't about "building bridges"
basically it's like: we're so uncomfortable with ourselves that we're going to target other groups of people and somehow flip it to make them look like they're the ones who are "flawed," or out to get us
always looking for a scapegoat
dominicans don't really seem to be too concerned with you one way or another, so you people really need to stop worrying about them

Hell yeah..yall have no problem adopting the swag and the culture but when it comes to repping time
i'm not even dominican and i'm offended that this subject continues to pop up on this site
how can you be offended when your opinion doesn't matter?
I don't give a damn about Dominicans, let em be who they are, at the end of the day they shunned their blackness like everybody else so they'll reap what they sow.
Ironically its the European American's who settled in those countries who are the first ones to SWEAR up and down they aren't white based on their nationality.
It's even funnier seeing them mistake ethnicity for nationality.

great post.....even African Americans who Ninjahood insists on considering more "black" than he is have diluted African blood. I love how dude completely ignored the point I was tryna make and started ranting about Haitians. He consistently goes out of his way to group himself with hispanics and deny his "blackness" like hispanic is one monotonous culture of people. Mexicans are considered hispanic, and Mexican culture is not Dominican culture.
Did this dude just c

If Ninjahood starts embracing this "blackness" that you all speak of, will you guys give him a pass on using the N word?
Serious question btw.
At first, I used to think it was cool to get at NH for this whole "black" issue, but as time passes it becomes more and more evident (at least in this small bubble of a forum) that nobody is more obsessed with skin color than African American Nters.
Word to that different shades of black chart that was posted in some thread.
Mr. King frowns upon your shennanigans.
You want the rest of the world to focus on a person's character instead of the color of their skin, but you clowns stay obsessing on skin color.
Im a light skinned latino if that matters....Or as this post would indicate
IM WHITE..
Brb, climbing to the top of the social ladder with my fellow white man
