I must fact check myself. He killed tens of thousands of Haitians. Not hundreds of thousands.

Google the “parsley massacre.”

Spanish Harlem: El Barrio in the ’80s. Joseph Rodriguez

This is funny and all but there’s a reason Dominicans have such strong denials about their African ancestry. Google “Trujillo whitening race” and you’ll know what I mean.

We literally had a dictator who’s goal was to “limpiar la raza” which translates to “cleaning our race.” Trujillo killed HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of black people (mostly Haitians). We even recently held “concentration camps” for black people that didn’t have their papers on them while randomly walking through streets, deporting them to Haiti. They didn’t care if they were Dominican or not. No papers? Shipped to Haiti.

Despite Trujillo’s assasination in the ‘60’s, the country has continued to carry that hate into the present. It’s DISGUSTINGGGG. Disgusting what we think of ourselves and even worse how we execute that hate onto Haitians.

So yeah, this video had me dyinggggg but it just reminded me of the deeper issue of self-hate and racism that my country has.
