Come on Me Valcourt! I think you may misinterpret my words.

I was just telling you some thruth.

Telling you what other people did, or what they are doing to us has nothing to do with not being able to stand them. We have to see everything with an impartial frame of mind. I agree with you on a lot of issues you come up with here. It is true Haitians are flocking to DR for whatever reason, but that is not a reason why they should be beaten, raped, robbed, mistreated.

That is not a generalization which would be unfair to the Dominican people.

We even killed our brothers day and night for nothing.

I agree with you we should not blame the Americans for our problems, but we must say what they did wrong and what they may doing now that is not in our country best interest.

If I say that I must not be seen as anti-American.

They have done a lot, more than any nation on earth to help Haiti, But at the same time, they have done certain things that hurt us. Telling the fact should not be seen as a fanatic or detractor.

I agree again with you about how our maids, servants, workers etc are treated and paid. However, I do not think you talking particularly to me, but you are trying to make a point.

Absolutely, it is ridiculous to pay ridiculous wage to those people.

That was absolutely true in the past, and may be still true today.

But what I know for fact, the maids get better pay now in Haiti.

In general I agree with you in almost everything, the only thing I disagree with you is this: You can not label a person as anti dominican, anti american, fake patriot etc..if he/she voices her opinion or state a fact. Please do not equate our frustration with inefficiency in public administration, corruption and so forth as hate. Telling the truth may hurt, but truth must be told. Labelling people, or being harsh on them whenever they say something that doesn't match your view. may be rude. May be I use the wrong word, lets say instead you are unfair in your way of responding to them.
I enjoyed reading your reply and hope to read you again.
