Bruh I was in the military & I met several Dominicans who got PISSED when you called them black 😭

I just felt Uncle Ruckus vibes, I didn’t know this was a bigger problem than the few I met

│ I had one in the Air Force who was told by others (not black people), he was black. In the ‘day room’ while hanging out, he looks at me, in tears and says in front of everyone… ‘You’re black, tell them I’m not black. I’m not black, tell them.’
│
│ Later, I heard my roommates chatting when they thought I was asleep saying, “Did you hear him, he thinks he’s not black… (snickering with laughter), he really thinks he’s not black.”

│ │ This is actually disturbing. The Dominican is so disgusted with having a Black identity that it is bringing him to tears in front of his peers is shocking. His peers seemingly antagonizing him and laughing about it is no better.

│ │ │ This is just a regular Tuesday in the Bronx. I'm not exaggerating. I've witnessed numerous Dominicans get emotional, even violent at the suggestion that they are Black.
│ │ │
│ │ │ I'm afro Latina, and I have never made any qualms about my blackness. That said, I've had dominican people with the same or more pronounced African features than I have, call me "Black" as an insult.

│ │ │ │ And that's the messed up thing, it will be the same Dominicans who have significantly more African ancestry than the average black American who are using "black" as some sort of pejorative.

Times like this, thank God that I came from a culture that is proud of black skin. Regardless if you FBA/Haitian/Jamaican or elsewhere, don't ever c00n out like most Dominicans

It’s fascinating how all black people came to the west from Africa but can be so different depending on the programming you got when your ancestors landed here.

Lost people’s all around.

It’s fascinating that we believe the dumbest lies white people make up. 300 blacks at the bottom of a sail boat for 3 months….over 36,000 times :unimpressed:

He said “I no blah

I wanted to air them all out. Nikka tried to have a “brotha” heart to heart talk with me after I seen him at another unit when I PCS’d. “I proud of you brotha….”:mjlol:
Me: :mjtf:
