[wilzusuki]

QUISQUEYA LA BELLA THE FIRST ISLAND THAT COLON DISCOVERE AND FIRST AMERICAN COUNTRY ALSO FIRST CATOLICH CHURCH IN LATINO AMARICA, HAVE TO RESPECT DR.

[MrXxALBxX]

mazanita tu no ta proud de ser dominicano aqueroso_a ata en los lugares mas pobres de DR todo es lindo y nuestra cultura es presiosa tu debiste de nacer en otro lugar notemereses ser dominicano.

[Ripley1156]

no offense but much more than 11% of dominicans are black. what's wrong with afro-latinos why they have so much self-hate of their roots. geez!

[chsn09]

LMFAO at the comments! They are fucking ridiculous and pathetic

[hotma23]

@chsn09 Omg. hahahaha I totally agree with u.. SMDH..

[chsn09]

@hotma23 Thanks! Yeah! I just find it ridiculous now! A few years ago I used to debate this topic but it is just getting out of hand and ppl are entitled to think their ignorant bullshit! All I know us that they are making themselves look like idiots! I would love for these fools to say all this shot in front of a police officer arresting them talking about how they are NOT of a certain persuasion! Lmao! They will learn their lesson! Lol

[SuperConejo]

Nice video, clear pictures, good representative of the D.R i dont know where people are saying dike Haitiano, utede no son Dominicano si dicen eso yo conoco a mi gente, aki to el mundo e Dominicano.

[Drileidy]

no soy razista pero al comienso de el video presentaron mas haitiano que dominicano por que conosco mi gente y el negro haitiano es diferente al negro dominicano por sus rasgo fisico

[hotma23]

@Drileidy u sound ignorant!

[Drileidy]

no soy razista pero el comienso de el video presentaron mas haitiano que dominicano yo conosco mi gente y se quien es haitiano y quien es dominicano

[elpacha01]

Me pregunto porke la gente que deja su opinion aki es tan ignorante. Senores nuestra cultura y raza es muy mixta y hay de todo un poco. No se porque le da verguenza de que una gran parte sea negra. Dejen esa ignorancia que sin la raza negra no hubiera tanta alegria en america latina. Dominicano hasta la tambora y orgulloso de ser negro. Quiero a todo los dominicanos sean blancos, negros y indios. Dejen la ignorancia y trabajemos todos para que nuestra isla tan bonita progrese.

[hotma23]

@elpacha01 Dilo durooooo!!!

[acapedit]

What the fuck does the color of your skin have to do with anything? I appreciate the video but your stats are WAAY off, but the video does it's purpose. It's about character not categorization. It is not a secret that the underbelly of our culture is we hate being black, and hate being categorized as such by our Dominican families. Taino indio or spaniard, it's all the same to me. Some are lighter than others.

[MegaRicson]

i have never been to dominican republic but its not that different from haiti prolly a little bit more advance other than that its pretty much the same i want to visit domican republic one day i know next time im in haiti i will just 2 see what it is like

[glennys2008]

MegaRicson.. Dominican Republic and Haiti look nothing alike.

[haitianydominincan]

I have to thank the creator because people want to act as if there is no African blood in the Dominicans. I am a mixed bella and loving it. I love to see all of the shades of me. Chocalate, carmel, tan is all beautiful. My grandfather is Dominican and my grandmother is Haitian. We have all types of shades in my family and it is a beautiful thing. Color is the last thing that should seperate us. Both countries should be proud of OUR LATIN heritage. Nobody else is like us. I Love carnival!!!!!!!!

[nievecabrerasuero]

Bueno se ve que usted busco el lugar mas pobre para las fotos, algunas estan bien para un cuadro costumbrista eso si pero el que no nos conoce cree que somos eso. Me imagino que pondra algo mejor, espero. todos los paises tienen cosas buenas y malas bonitas y feas yo lo se.

[Cedtavious1]

You hatin' muthafuckas on Dominicans Beauty and Pride!!!! 100% Dominicano!!! Real

[Cedtavious1]

We are simalar to Arabs, & Puerto Ricans!!!

[quisqueyamami]

wtf ?

[Cedtavious1]

I'm sick of you DEAD BEAT BITCHES TRYING TO MAKE US 100% NEGRA we are 100% Tanio, Spanish, & European/2%light-skinwestafric­ans....

[KingRhaul]

you're an idiot

[Cedtavious1]

Dominicanos we are very highly multiracial mullatoes we beautiful no matter what Fuck all ya'll Dominicans haters fuck Africanos we are all Spanish+WhiteCreole+Tanio..... We are cinnamon, we are Indians who were in the sun thanks to our hot beautiful country tonative Tanio Indians!!!!

[KingRhaul]

i doubt there's anyone in DR with pure european ancestry,you can say that about PR.I think we all mixed no matter what color

[cs2sw]

I agree with KingRhaul, we are mix and diluted to the point that we can say we are all brothers and sisters. I am born and raced in DR and all my family are from there and so I thought. My grandfather was from the virgin islands and his ancestors came from Africa and believe it or not from India. That is some mix up shit I have going on.

[KingRhaul]

True is besides african and european we got asian, indian,arab ,jewish etc...dominicans need to check their history,i bet they dont know about a dominican president who after who became independent from haiti brought a lot of arabs to "refine" the dominican race,they dont know about the hundreds of thousands of jews who trujillo allowed in the country when hittler was doing his shit in europe,we all know about the chinese who settle in bonao but no immigrant from india

[TheLauradelarosa27]

@cs2sw they are WAAAAAY different.

[AtomicPhill]

good video. by the way the true meaning is with a "K" Keskiya from the native word cradle of earth or center of earth. Quisqueya is from the euopeans they can never pronounce it right :). i wouldnt say the native are extinct. i think if you go to cibao theres a large population of Taino blood. im mixed all 3. keskiya should bring up its native language and culture. rename the country as well.

[tatica19982008]

Oh God !! I cannot believe it you are stating that 11%%%%% is african are you nutssssssssssss its shameful to say that you studied in the US and you have not learned a thinggggggggggggg. DR is 90% of african descent what you claim as being spaniards that is not in our blood stream anymore. The lighter skinned tonned people in DR are maybe of arabic or turkish descent. Now in the last 40 or 35 years a few europeans have moved to dr

[Azul002]

ur wrong man...

90%?

that's 2 much even tho we DO are african descent...

this is a country that has "2 much everething" i do not agree and i am african descent but i don't think that info u giving if correct!

[negkreyol21]

yeah i agree haiti is 90 % african, DR i know has many visible non blacks in all regions...oh and black too

[lamulatona06]

Dios mio que odio hacia los dominicanos nene,no tienes nada mejor que hacer con tu vida?

[Redrum16killa]

MF i aint fuking blak shyt yo soy fokin DOMINICANO CONYASO PLATANO ALldai

[009toyou]

i have to agree with Manzanit

[greendaydiaz]

Manzanita please send me some of your photos so I can remake the video and replace the ugly photos with yours. What you wanted to see was a video about your town where there is no poverty where there are only beautiful people and where there are no people of color but the reality is that not all of the Dominican Republic is like your town. I can make a video of your town but then I would have to change the title of the video and it'll no longer be called Quisqueya La Bella.

[Manzanita1685]

Hey. please change that music, ok?

I never speak about poor people or color people... I am Dominican, VERY PROUD FOR THAT... and for that i feel so sad when i view your video with my favorite song in this life!

If you wanna good pictures, actual pictures... is easy come and i show you my real country... Ok?

[Hidefautobody]

I totally agree with you on your argument those photos are ugly as shit it looks like he took pics of his own family and made a video putting our national anthem in the background and it sucks because it brings the quality of it down even though is the 2nd best in the world..

[Manzanita1685]

Ahh now I understand! That's what you think of my country ... So, if you think that, why do you use my national anthem? Why you dont use another music to ridicule my nation? I dont hate my country ... I love my country (with its good and bad things) and that bothers me too much than A GUY using so ugly pictures for to talk about my country and using a music as wonderful as it is my national anthem!

[greendaydiaz]

Oh by the way the Dominican Republic does not belong to you and your narrow views. It's sad that you think I was trying to portray the Dominican Republic as a country with "ugly" people. Very sad.

[Manzanita1685]

Oh God!! You take that pics in ugly places... Why you do that??

I dont like your video, i am Dominican, very proud for that, and your video SUCKS!

[greendaydiaz]

Actually there are no ugly pics of ugly places in this video. If you are really Dominican I don't think you would be hating on your own country. If you think you could do a better job then I would love to see your video version of what you think about the Dominican Republic.

[Lawtown31]

Hey Manzanita, better to cry about the truth than to laugh about a lie....la verdad es que asi mismo es todo el pais...te guste o no!

[Manzanita1685]

No, no es asi todo el pais.... Reconosco que esas fotos son reales, pero en lugares donde yo que soy pura dominicana nunca he ido... Pero de seguro cuando has venido de visita por aqui eso es lo que te muestran cuando no tienes buenos recursos economicos para visitas por ejemplo Punta Cana, Bavaro, Capcana, Cabarete, el mismo Santo Domingo es una ciudad muy bonita y limpia, Santiago...

[Manzanita1685]

Mas bien ahorrate un dinerito, y cuando puedas ven, yo misma te muestro mi pais... Cuando quieras!!

Te mostrare lugares que si valen la pena tomarles fotos y poner en un video con el himno nacional de mi patria... Que si no lo sabes tenemos 2do. lugar con el mejor himno del mundo (eso incluye la letra y la musica).

[less01]

No pudieron buscar mejores imagenes para compaginar el himno nacional!

[XDominicangurlX]

muy bueno jeje

[luisbloomfield]

muy bueno tu video

[GrimmeyStar809]

Nah, his statistics are right!

i'm 100% Dominican. Of Pure Spaniard

descent (All white) =]

But it doesnt matter, blanco indio trigueno moreno negro, whatever PLATANO is a PLATANO

regaurdless of color VIVA REPUBLICA DOMINICANA!!! Mi isla. Mi Sangre.

[touggie2000]

its obvious to see DR is mostly mixed but only 16% black mmmmm I dont know

[taino4281]

Yes I Love This Land!

[touggie2000]

I love dominicans but those statistics are bullshit only 11% black almost everybody in the video look black to me

[blakarotto]

wen they say black they mean pure black, but most of the mixed population,70% as stated in this video, looks black for african genes dominate over caucatian(spaniard) & amerindian(tainos).

[touggie2000]

im just saying I dint beleive those statistics. I think its all apart of the historical anti black setiment from the spainish colonization

[ElDirector44]

Its also the same statistics of the cia website though. But who knows.

[Luis514]

no its the other way around man, british colonization sentiment is anyones whos skin color is not pure white must be black. The spanish, as racist as they were did mix with the black and indians. some one that has white blood to can't be really called black.

[touggie2000]

i mean all colonizers from europe had a way of marginalizing "blackness" spain mixed as part of a white wash kind of cleansing which resulting in a decreased number of pure blacks and a fairly lighter population then thier caribean counter parts. the anti-balck senitment more so comes from the teachings and influence.

[SexyDrBitch]

I agree i don't believe it either.

[drbabe20]

I love my beautiful country Dominican Republic and I am very proud of where I came from

[luceg69]
