{UAH} Dominican Republic strips thousands of black residents of citizenship, may now expel them

Ikanos/ Alan Barigye

Can you imagine that there is still anti-black racism in the Dominican Republic? I have been to the country twice and I was truly shocked. Dominican Republic and Haiti are one country seperated by a border, which is just one long arbitrary line. The people of Dominican Republic are mainly light skinned half castes whereas the people of Haiti are pure black Africans.who declared their independence from France in the 18th century becoming the first independent black nation in the western hemisphere. But the light skinned Dominicans discriminate against the darker skinned Dominicans and Haitians. Now I am shocked they are even declaring all dark skinned people non citizens and want to deport them- to where no one knows. Slavery and colonialism has damaged the black race almost beyond repair.

Dominican Republic strips thousands of black residents of citizenship, may now expel them

The Dominican Republic stripped citizenship from thousands of black Dominicans with Haitian ancestors. Now it may expel them to Haiti, a country many have never known.
