Dominican Republic to be ‘Socially Cleaned’ of all Hatians/Dark Skinned Dominicans in two days
In two days about a quarter of a million people will be made stateless. They will have no homes, no passports, and no civil rights. There are several reasons for this, but the primary reason is racism.
At issue is a ruling by the Constitutional Court in the Dominican Republic to strip away the citizenship of several generations of Dominicans:
According to the decision, Dominicans born after 1929 to parents who are not of Dominican ancestry are to have their citizenship revoked. The ruling affects an estimated 250,000 Dominican people of Haitian descent, including many who have had no personal connection with Haiti for several generations.
Dominican Republic has always had a longstanding hatred towards Haiti for years but what they’re doing is literally taking anyone who’s family lineage cannot be traced back to 1929, and putting them on a one-way bus back to Haiti, whether they were born in the DR or not. They don’t care.
The US State Department has denounced the Dominican government for this plan, and pointed out that it is a gross violation of human rights according to the U.N. charter.
Below are 5 things you need to know about what is happening in the Dominican Republic:
- The DR government has revoked the citizenship of more than 100,000 Dominicans born in the country of Haitian parents.
- Many of the Dominican-born Haitians facing the looming threat of deportation have never visited Haiti or know anyone there.
- The criteria the government will use in deciding who is to be bussed out of the country is “dark-skinned Dominicans with Haitian facial features.”
- The DR government claims to have established a legalization process for Dominican-Haitians wishing to remain in the country, but the system is close-to-impossible, according to sources on the ground.
- Even though currently the deportation of Dominic-Haitians persists as only a possibility, all evidence points to it happening.

SERIOUSLY. Can we please stop interviewing this ignorant ass woman????
why do non-black people of color always do this? why make everything about black people about you?
Black latinas dont exist? That girl is a damn mess
they never miss a chance
How exactly does one represent an ethnicity that’s made up of multiple races???
I am so tired of this because we are never allowed to be exclusive when we do something for black people. We always have to be inclusive because people simply get offended by something being all black. But, when black people get upset at NO REPRESENTATION AT ALL BY ALL MEDIA/ENTERTAINMENT/FASHION OUTLETS we’re told “Well, go make your own!”
^^^^^^^^okay⁉️
Meanwhile, how many Latinas even recognize Afro-Latinas? They’re just the Blacks…Being black is like being the mother of POC. NBPOC think we should create rallies, protests, visibility days, and (apparently) dolls for them. But what POC group (as a whole, not just a few members), are repping for us? Every culture has a slur for black people but then they want us to be their guard dogs.
I’m all for solidarity, but why is it that everyone always expects us to do the hard work?
I feel like being Black/African American makes us the posterchildren for other ethnicities. Like oh, “Black people have something that specifically represents them, that’s nice, BUT WHY DON’T WE!?
How the fuck is Asian invasion anti black? Black people protested first is it anti black for anyone else to start their own protests then?
Standardit’s offensive because it’s directly hijacking the method that black people used to create awareness for themselves. moreover, it’s because Asian invasion and all those other minority selfie days are born out of the kind of attitude you’re exuding in this message–“why can’t WE have this for ourselves, why does it always have to be out of THEM”, etc. it’s particularly interesting that you would approach me, someone who’s an avid participant in Asian-American activism, and think that I don’t believe in protests for our own race. of course I want us to have more visibility, just not in a way that takes away from a valuable and often-ignored conversation about black beauty and excellence. fuck off.
