past census shows how some latinos label themselves

[musicology1985]

yeah but the one drop rule isn't really applicable.

does dominican culture have some ties to some africans? yeah, is that small percentage of our cultural history stronger than the other majority of the mix? hell no.

as you can see the majority correctly put other because we are indeed something else

skin tone =/= race

stop playing Dominicans are well known to be the biggest uncle toms in the western hemisphere as far as the majority is concerned. ironically, they share lineage and an island with the most rebellious and courageous blacks in the western hemisphere. it's definitely a catch 22 when it comes to Hispaniola.

smh, typical

 

[musicology1985]

smh, typical

this is historical fact. it's Spain over everything to them black folks over there when it comes to loyalty and admiration for the most part. although genetically & culturally they are predominately a west African people, just like everyone else in the Greater and Lessor Antilles.

um no, dominicans are mixed so the whole d.n.a thing is silly....African influences r in our culture, food, and music as well as paintings in the city. u are not being honest Sir

Spain used to rule D.R so it;s not shocking their influence is perhaps greater but its not like dominicans rep spain come on

Abstract People in the Dominican Republic are considered to be genetically heterogeneous owing to the post-Colombian admixture of Native American, African, and European populations. To characterize their genetic background, nucleotide sequences of the D-loop region of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were examined in 33 healthy women and 50 gender-matched patients with obese type 2 diabetes (OD) from the Dominican Republic. Phylogenetic analysis of 198 mtDNA lineages including Native Americans, Africans, and Europeans enabled us to assess relative genetic contributions of the three ancestral fractions to the two groups in the Dominican Republic. In the OD group, the majority (64.0%) of the mtDNA lineages were from African ancestry, whereas the Native American fraction was predominant (51.5%) in the healthy group, with both showing smallest amounts (14.0% and 9.1%, respectively) of European contribution. This difference in maternal genetic background between the two groups was similarly demonstrated by phylogenetic analysis at the population level based on net nucleotide diversities between populations. These findings may imply ethnic-specific predisposition to OD, a possible association of an unidentified factor from African ancestry with OD in the Dominican Republic population.

 

[musicology1985]

so that's 84% in one study and 64% in another.

the CIA factbook states

75% mixed race

15% white

10% black

however, this IS NOT BACKED BY ANY PROVEN DNA TESTING, only Dominican's stated bias against their west African ancestors and relatives. because when real testing is done, the number is always over 50%, as well as the phenotype and cultural influence/foundation. y'all just predominately toms, that's all there is to it. and y'all stay sucking European and white diaspora ass crack for the most part.

 

[Focal Point]

The only thing that separates a dark skin dominican from a dark skin haitian is culture... you stand a haitian next to the black dominican and you'd not be able to tell the difference off of looks. Hell isn't Fab Dominican and the nigga refers to himself as black.

Uncle Tom is the hero of the story and if you really look at it, is pretty couregous and steadfast

that's the formal book version of uncle tom. in general culture it means the exact opposite.

the real black diaspora heroes are the Haitians, Maroons, black Seminoles & Panthers.

what's your point

 

[musicology1985]

what's your point

I just stated my point ma'am.

 

[theillestrator]

are people really this concerned with race? btw, i'm with you doubletee...go 'noles!!

O I know, but it really should be addressed.
