You’ve probably heard “I no Black, I Dominican” before. It’s become a viral joke, but behind that phrase is deeply rooted trauma. This mindset didn’t come from nowhere. It was taught through colonization, slavery, and decades of anti-Black propaganda that started with the Spanish colonizers and the Catholic Church, then was aggressively reinforced by Rafael Trujillo’s dictatorship through ethnic cleansing. Rafael Trujillo ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 to 1961, 30 years of fear. He mrdered thousands of Haitians and dark-skinned Dominicans during the 1937 Parsley Massacre in an attempt to “whiten” the nation. He also klld Dominicans who disobeyed or resisted his leadership. He brought so much fear to the Dominican people that denying their Blackness became a means of survival. That trauma doesn’t just disappear. It’s been passed down through generations, even after some Dominicans migrated to the U.S. It still shapes how Dominicans see their beauty, identity, and self-worth. Healing starts when we remember who we really are and fight for the ancestors they tried to make us forget. I see a lot of Hispanics, not just Dominicans, leaving comments denying that colorism exists. They hide behind “we’re all Dominican” or “we don’t have to identify as Black.” Cool, cool… but let’s address the avanza la raza mindset, colorism, “good hair vs bad hair,” and why some people wouldn’t even listen to bachata at one point because it was considered “low class.” It’s all connected to our Indigenous and dark-skinned roots and the confusion around the word “Black.” I hope this video helps bring understanding to this topic. I don’t want us to keep judging each other. I get why it’s funny, but there’s also a lot of pain in these conversations that we have to relive when we share these truths. Let’s bring empathy and compassion to these topics, but also accountability and love. Because at the core, that’s what a lot of us are missing. 🇩🇴🖤 FOLLOW ME @abtherebel_ ✨🦁 #INoBlackIDominican #AfroDominicanHistory #TrujilloEra #UnlearnAntiBlackness #DominicanHistory #AfroLatina #BlackHistory #LatinxHistory #AvanzaLaRaza #MejorarLaRaza
