Congratulations on Getting Over Your Issues with Dominican People!

We get it.  You don’t like anyone, really.  But you REALLY dislike Dominican people.

We can’t really say why.  Maybe it was your upbringing.  Maybe it was your sense of nationalism.  Maybe it’s that you don’t trust anyone in general.

Anyhow, today you’re going to actually look into how Dominican and Haitian cultures overlap.  You’ll note that they’re both wildly corrupt and insanely self-destructive systems of top-down exploitation that have all but devastated their own economies.  Tremendous inequity of wealth, a rich cultural heritage perpetually at odds with an oligarchic government and a history of oppression and shortages of even the most basic amenities.  You’ll realize you aren’t that different at all!

You’ll rush out into the street and shout at people as they enter the Dominican restaurant in your neighborhood.

“WE’RE NOT SO DIFFERENT YOU AND I!” you’ll mean to say.

Instead you’ll shout, “FUCKING BURN IN HELL YOU DEVIL!”

You’ll have a good laugh at your misstep, then go home and gibber at a television as if the people in it can hear you for an hour and a half.  Later you’ll make a puppet out of a chicken, then chase you concerned mother out of your apartment when she comes in to check on you.  All in all, a pretty normal day, but with a little less hate and a little more cultural awareness in your heart.
