The Dominican Republic has crossed the line: Caribbean governments must act

That country is so racist! The treatment meted out to the darker coloured members of its home-grown population is a sure reminder and indicator of the mask being worn by that country's representatives. We therefore should expect little better coming from that quarter.

The European donor organizations channeling aid through their "Latin America and Caribbean" institutions are doing the English-speaking Caribbean a disservice.

Indeed, it might cost less administratively for the donors. However, if you can peel off the veneer of civility on display for public consumption purposes, the racial discrimination factor is ever-present in Latin America.

It's the same in every Latin American country, darker people are second class citizens.

Ronald:

You continue to be an enigma and even more so after reading this informative and substantiative article on this most repugnant actions against the Haitians of African Ancestry by the Pale-skinned neighbors of the Dominican Republic.

As stated in your article, it was the Great African Freedom Fighters under Toussaint L' Ouverture that defeated the French Slave-Master's army of Napoleon near the end of the 1700's, creating the Haitian Republic of Freed enslaved Africans.

This defeat of a European power in the Americas sent shivers throughout North America where Slave-masters tried in vain to prevent this News from the ear of the enslaved African-Americans, fearing it would unleash a chain reaction of Slave rebellions. In the end under the guise of a “Peace Negotiation” the forked-tongued French arrested the Great African General Toussaint L' Ouverture imprisoning him in the Alps, where he was murdered by the Filthy-cunnilingus French.

Today what is being done to the African-Haitian by the people of Dominican Republic is an unimaginable reincarnation of Apartheid South Africa.

A real excellent article, but why do you and the pirate Hawkins wear the same title from the Queen of Enslavement, Elizabeth-I ?? was it done for fame?

Please notice the differences in the caliber of the magnificent article written by Mr. Ronald Sanders; an article filled with information intended to benefit the reader. Then I ask you to try interpreting this Narcissistic-Weightlifter and impostor's article, disguised as a journalist and tell me WHAT is the subject of this article presented by this fraudulent Ninny? go!

“More times than I’ve had pain mais, folks who make a decent living as book authors, newspaper reporters, TV journalists and script writers—as well as individuals who imagined they’d been specially called to put pen to paper yet had been unable to produce anything publishable—have asked me if I had ever experienced the curse known as writer’s block.
My truthful response: in over forty years as a professional writer I have never experienced what has been defined as “an obstacle to the free expression of ideas on paper.”
I suspect the reason might be that I’ve always regarded life as the most exciting adventure imaginable and can barely hold myself from sharing my daily experiences. In all events, what is the writer’s function, if not to place on record his hopefully unique take on life’s vicissitudes?
From my own vantage, only the untalented and the psychically wooden would experience difficulty identifying aspects of their surroundings potentially interesting to readers here and elsewhere.”

After reading the “I”, I, I, a thousand times and there was no story except the history of the weightlifter in the first person, I gave up, having learned nothing except he had eaten “pain mais”, which was interpreted as stale bread by me. Truth is I don't have a clue what this Narcissist is writing about, and you intelligent readers of the Voice fail to realize that Lucians are victims of the biggest scam in world history?

The FARMING OF BONES by Edwidge Danticatbegins. Set in 1937 in a village on the Dominican side of the river that separates the country from Haiti. However, hostilities toward Haitian laborers find a vitriolic spokesman in the ultra-nationalist Generalissimo Trujillo who calls for an ethnic cleansing of his Spanish-speaking country. As rumors of Haitian persecution become fact, as anxiety turns to terror.
Based on a little-known historical event, this extraordinarily moving novel memorializes the forgotten victims of nationalist madness and the deeply felt passion and grief of its survivors.

I don't like the lumping of Latin countries with the English-speaking Caribbean ones. Period. They are in a class all by themselves.
