Haiti & the Dominican Republic: An Island Divided - Part 1

[greenIthug]

while the other hand the knife nothing would bring more pleasure than to cut are throat and watch us choke in are on blood haitian have no love for dominican they wont be happy till every dominican is dead or dround in the caribbean sea, the "black republic" now if that is not racist then i dont know what racist is. now picture argentina calling themself the white latino republic shit!!! call obama this can't happen fuck u!!!!!!!!

[greenIthug]

mr gates trujillo murder 15000 to17000 hatian in one year, but he spent thirty year killing dominican now that's something that would bring a smile to your face 1804 the new "black" republic of haiti win their independence from the french but yet the general give and order to murder the 40000 men,women and children that are french in the island. that show me that hatian r wolf dress in lamb clothing and at any giving chance we become the american and they the arab one hand hold the coran

[greenIthug]

@elpenaroll this documentary is not on point,Mr Gates is a very racist individual there 9million people in the peninsula call dominican republic and 1hour documentary is not enough to show u the different faces of kisquella he basically show u what ever he wanted u to see which half of this documentary is bullshit and disrepectful to dominican who the fuck ru to come into my country mock my three founding father because they are white and mullato how dare u mr gates shame on u.

[sparkyscycles1]

@greenIthug No disrespect,but he is correct,most of we Dominicans are of African People do to slavery.A lot of Dominicans do not want to accept this,just look at the different shades of color of our people,so no disrespect, it is what it is,I know the truth hurts.We have been lied to long enough about our history,we Dominicans need to learn how to get along and FUCK the color of our skin,we all bleed the same.

[greenIthug]

@sparkyscycles1 there a video i want u to watch is call "why Haiti suck" Mira e se video so u cant see the different in are people from the start is not a racist video but more to educate you on Haitian history an to show why Haitian will never live in peace with Dominican when they cant even live in peace among themselves through out their on history.I am not black,white,Moreno,,negro,mula­tto, soy Orgulloso de ser Dominicano y voy a defender my Patria asta la muerte.

[sparkyscycles1]

@greenIthug I understand how you feel but not all Haitians are the same.We need to let the past go .I am Dominican i have a lot of Haitian friends that are good people, do not forget that one of our dictators was of Haitian decent. A lot of people will not admit this because the truth hurts,research it for your self.

[javisan14]

Gates hit this documentary on point..the people who think he's wrong are in denial, because he's showing the truth face of dominicans.

[elpenaroll]

WHAT ABOUT WHAT AMERICANS DO TO MEXICANS IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO OTHER INMIGRANTS ??? NO BODY TALKS ABOUT THAT RIGHT?? FUCK OUT OF HERE

[FineWeAre]

thats funny gates "all these people in America would be black" and a white guy walks by facepalm lol

[FineWeAre]

gates "the Dominican people are a rainbow of blacks, tans and browns" honestly this is so racist he just forgets to mentions white, but its okay to be racist when blacks do it. Gates is a hypocrite!!

[elpenaroll]

@FineWeAre GATES TRY TO MAKE THE DOMINICAN LOOK BAD IN THSI DOCUMENTARY AND THE PROF THAT WAS TALKING TO HIM IS A ASS KISSER IF YOU SEE THE WAY DOMINICANS ACT WE INSIDE ARE SPANISH ARE PHYSICAL FIXTURES BUT OUR COLOR IS NOT WHITE BUT LIKE BROWN AND OUR WAY TO ACT WE DONT ACT LIKE AFRICANS DO LIKE HAITIAN DO WE HAVE SOME BLACK IN US BUT PLEASE WE ARE NOT THE SAME AS HAITIAN OR IN AMERICA AFRICAN AMERICANS AT ALL . JUST CHECK THE WAY PEOPLE LIVE IN SANTO DOMINGO NOTHING LIKE THE PEOPLE IN N.O

[javisan14]

@elpenaroll You are in fucking- denial and confuse of your own identity..

[sparkyscycles1]

@elpenaroll Black is black,you think there arent any light skinnned haitians,they are the same shades of color as we Dominicans,the only difference is their culture.They have no problem accepting who they are,WE DO. From a proud BLACK DOMINICAN.

[Imghey123lol]

ok I hate white people saying that us dominicans and other islanders are racist. thats not it at all! do white people even care to learn?!? Its because dominicans and most islanders are christians! and haitians like to do that voodoo stuff and everything. thats why! I mean dominicans arent retarded we are only like one shade lighter than haitians.

[XXabercrombiedivaXX]

Lol Dominicans love Spain, unfortunately Spain doesn't feel the same.. I know as my father is Madrid & the things he has told me would hurt a lot of you silly retarded Dominicans so lol on you!

[elpenaroll]

@XXabercrombiedivaXX GO BACK TO SCHOOL IGNORANT I BET YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE THAT USE THE PANTS UNDER YOUR ASS AND DOONT EVEN HAVE A ASSOCIATE DEGREE

[raven1994duh]

he got to get cuzed out because people think he aint proud of his black heritige...im just saying if you mix...your just mix..if your white your white and if your black your black..oh well we are all humans and we are beautiful in gods eyes

[raven1994duh]

really i just think its stupit to claim only one side of your heritage...yes people are mix with black,,,,but because u don't claim it,,,,you have to be the bad person,,like forreal thats dumb.....like for example a mix japanese and white person can claim both sides but when a black mexican white person from brazil say he is latino but looks more black...

[tejada95]

this video is COMPLETELY WRONG, dominicans are NOT 90% afro-decendants, its actually 45%

[elcabezonduro]

@tejada95 well i don't think so, i would dare to say that even the whitest people in the DR(i think they are a very few porcentage) have african decendants

[sparkyscycles1]

@elcabezonduro You are wrong ,do your research, you will be very suprised

[AAMG91]

Heyyyy, that music in minute 02 it's no merengue!! That's Son!!

[LadyMurasaki1991]

Im Dominican and i am never considered black here in NewYork this is false

[IfImBeingHonest]

After watching this documentary I'm quite convinced that Dominicans are completely stupid and worthless. I guess this is what happens when you live in a THIRD WORLD country ha ha

[jevitigre]

Thank you Trujillo for what you did in 1937, you did a great job.

[SuperCece1990]

[joeythetraveler]

[rap33r100]

and we hear bachata man not fucking merengue

[yssapi]

Bias, Bias, Bias!! I thought he would be more professional :S

[holloween2011]

@triculito there are countless issues in the haitian race department that he never even even elaborated on (how all the power stays with the mulato upper class, or how duvalier panafricanst mentallitydrove away the countries mullatto elite andeducated population causing a massive brain drain that haiti never recovered from) , yet he elaborated specifically in every detail of the dominican "racial identity problem". largely based on event that hapened decades ago. how was america then?

[lubime10]

This is the aptitude of the black American toward black that are not American-slaves descendant :

Speaking near a Fox News microphone that he thought was turned off, the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson on Sunday disparaged Sen. Barack Obama's embrace of faith-based social services, using crude language to suggest that he wanted to castrate the presumptive Democratic presidential (Obama) nominee.

And I will post more if you allow me.

So , can you see that is not just a Dominican problem.

[lubime10]

Dr. Gates, you said " and I 'm here to discover how all this came about"

Dr. Gates You fail on been objetive because you already knew the script of your

"History Investigation" you already have the end of your propaganda . You fail Dr. Gates very bad because you took side and I can see and listen the tone in your voice when you talk about the Domincan Culture and the wanderful centerpiece of you "investigation" wich is The Dominican people think that they are not BLACKS or NEGROS

[lubime10]

Dr. Gates have you seen this videos and real documentary who are the reponsables of the inhuman conditions of the Haitian brothers ; no, no the poor and humble domicans but the powerfull and rich family with in cohort with the politicians that you never mencioned on your " historic investigation" :

El precio del azucar aka The Price of Sugar (Paul Newman's voice) parte 1

[lubime10]

Dr. Gates said " Help me to undestand as American" not as Black or negro but as " American" I hope that you get my point.

[lubime10]

Dr. Gates with al your respects , I found this video as an insidous and perfidious propangada and at least to say and lack of respect and full of vicious and unfunded porpuses against the culture and history of the The Dominican people.

You are not the first one to do this kind of missleading argument why the Haitian people are in the condition of adyect poverty that they have been throught their history.

Your country (USA) not just France with the Haitian elite are also responsables.

[lubime10]

The ritmo that the band is playing in this video is not a MERENGUE; it is a Guaguanco like the liric says ( Ven a bailar el GUAGUANCO).

And the name of the singer is Francis Santana ( no Frank Cruz ).

[9276490]

Guy below me complete liar Never happened 

[greenIthug]

1803 Haiti won their indepence from France,that same year order from Haitian elete to kill all the white French in the island,1822 Haitian invaded the Dominican republic that when the white of the island and mullatto left and to Puerto Rico, Cuba,.

[9276490]

[9276490]

[rap33r100]

@9276490 yes, im dominican and I have to say , Fuck haitans, infesting our country with dirty blacks with their fucking voodoo

[TheEdko1234]

@rap33r100 how can you be soo rasist if your domincan.... unless you are part of the 11% domincan population that is 'white', you probly have some black in you,(it just doesnt make sence). And how can you be soo racsit because your culture has african roots (it just doesnt make sence).

[rap33r100]

@TheEdko1234 Im not racist man But yes I will admit I hate hatians not because there black but there discusting beliefs. and Yes my family has black.

[TheEdko1234]

@rap33r100 you say you not racist but in the last comment you put 'infesting our country with dirty blacks'. that is deffienlty a racist stament. I myslef am mixed i have european and african ancestory i look like a typical domincan, I celbrate all aspects of my culture. 'There discusting belifes' i guess your talking about voodoo? Y is it that you think voodoo is wronge, maybe beacuse it is african and you have been taught to think that any think related to african is neagtive.

[deleoa471]

@rap33r100 YOU LIEING SPIC YOU ARE RACIST.

[raw207]

@rap33r100 you're so ignorant.

[herlife]

@9276490 what is so wrong with having african heritage? Having a African heritage does not make you look bad... And yea a person with green eyes and blonde hair can be of african decent; hence my cousin who is of mixed race.

[damianhosking]

That is NOT merengue. I'm Dominican and live in the Dominican Republic, I know our music.

[dominicanhop1]

02:01 thats not merengue is son

[pimentel79]

@bodega749, no that's merengue. It may sound like salsa bcuz that was the old sound of play, but it undoubtedly is merengue.

[pepe0801]

@pimentel79 Real Merengue is merengue Tipico from El Cibao and definitely not this stuff

[prokells]

this documentary only talks about black people and their African roots in the Dominican Republic and Haiti ..not their history and why they are divided and their culture ...but this is a great Documentary .

[eljunior98]

The Motherland has to be Spain because Dominican culture is a modification of Spanish culture to make a NEW Latino culture like our Religion, Language, Dress, Form of Living, form of Dancing, etc.

Merengue has SOME elements of African culture but its combined with Spanish and Native culture.

[bodega749]

that salsa??????not merengue .....

[eljunior98]

@bodega749 LOL....

[mizikAnAyiti]

IM HAITIAN AND THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT STORY !! THANK YOU
