    As a Dominican, were your ancestors slaves in the south? I really don't know and don't feel like using Google to look.

    Are you kidding, as a Dominican, his great-great grandparents probably owned Haitian slaves.

    You speak as if Cubans didn't have slaves either. Sugar cane grows in Cuba too

    Maybe you should look into the Dominican/Haitian history before making such blatant remarks about slavery. Dominicans were slaves at one point thanks to the French then the Spanish came and sent the French and their own slaves to the eastern part of Hispañiola.

    Yup it does, my grandfather worked sugar cane fields for $5 a week

    And it seems that you are realizing my point, every race has had slaves and every race has been slaves.

    I'm not your typical dark skinned Dominican so I'd have to say that even if there were Dominican slaves in the south they wouldn't have come from my family.
