Why are nikkas obsessed with claiming Dominicans?

[Antwon Mitchell]

It ain't really so much about claiming people but more like a reminder that you as Black (or Blacker) as us so don't flex like you different/shyt don't stink/looking down on others.

At least that's how I interpret it

 

[Shadow King]

Cause it looks crazy for someone who looks like you to not recognize we're the same people taken to different ports.

Most DR people i around are cool.. but that's the east coast

I don’t understand tweets like this. If a group of people don’t want to claim black then fukk them what’s this bullshyt abt “you look like us”, “you just as black” etc etc nikkas literally begging c00ns to claim being black wtf

It’s not as serious you’re making it. nikkas are making fun of them cuz it’s so ridiculous not cuz they mad or nothing

We’re not allowed to make fun of c00ns now?

Dominicans are just Dominicans

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

I wonder who those black people that claim Dominicans.

Because I don't claim anyone that's anti black

 

[Mike809]

I dont know why people act surprise that they don't claim black or any other race.

The concept of race isn't the big elephant In the room as it is here in the US.

Like , I dont think they even ask you about your race in DR census.

 

[The Plug]

Us vs them mentality. They want everyone under their groups banner.

It’s progress to me
I remember a time when black Americans was on the same shyt. Claiming mixed, claiming they had Indian in the family, even claiming rican and Dominican in the family if you were in nyc or philly
So black people putting the emphasis on BLACK is progress to me even if this particular situation seem pressed at this point

 

[Will Ross]

It’s seen as selling out when you deny your African ancestry to us.

 

[Suge Shot Me]

Stop acting like these weirdos on Twitter represent black people.

It's not just Twitter. Even here there are lots of "Mi no black, papi" jokes.

 

[The Fade]

I agree this has been going on too long

Leave them alone, let the Dominicans be Dominican. It’s beating a dead horse. Same with the “we have no friends” convo

ADOS / FBA shouldn’t care anyway
