Why do they need to identify with a color?

I've been trying to tell folks that but many blacks can't get over their obsessions of whites to see straight. The new majority, minority America will be even more hostile to blacks in this country.

Not even sure why the overall concern with either group.

While many Dominicans vehemently deny the role of race in the current controversy over the deportation of Dominicans of Haitian descent and Haitian migrants, the treatment I received while living in the Dominican Republic (and often being mistaken as Haitian) suggests the contrary.

Sad, just sad because back in the Jim Crow days; Dominicans would've been on the "wrong" side with American Black people down South.
Apparently no PC police in the Dominican...

Blacks should be skeptical who they "ally" with, especially since these other groups have white validation. And white supremacy is alive and well in Latin countries, even in Latin communities in the US.

Maybe all the races should just kill each other, like they've been doing for ten thousand years.

Sigh.
I thought they'll be treated well over there.

You need to ask the Dominicans that question because many of them DENY being part Black. Too; it's to the point that Black Dominican ladies in the US have the rep of only marrying anglo white dudes and having babies with them, "people of color" need not apply which to me is pretty damn sad.

Answer the question. Why do they need to identify with a color? It is your post that is treating their lack of identification with a color as a problem. So there is no need to ask them anything.

There are enough Dominican women with Dominican men or other Hispanics as well as other minorities to call foul on your claim. It seems you have selective vision.

So again, why is it a problem to YOU that they may not identify with a color? The majority of Dominicans are mixed anyway.
