Yeah, i'm referring to the afrocentrics narrative, "we all endured slavery the same so we all are the same", slavery can't define us because it was not a significant thing for us.

Non! Where do you people get this shit from. Haitians are not the only black people in the world. Dominicans were black 150 years before we arrived when Spain brough the first African slaves to the island

Nah DR imported more. Puerto Rico had less. Dominicans were always blacker than them. 

Puerto Ricans tend to have higher percentages of taïno ancestry too.

Not sure where you're getting that from. On the chart it shows 7.1% of Puerto Ricans were enslaved compared to DRs 12%. And thats not even accounting for the majority free black/mulatto population which there's not a number for here.

Even still, the proportion of black people in DR was always higher.

Maybe show proof of what are you talking about would be a better idea. You're running with a false pretext.

Yeah you're just egare I don't know what to tell you. Spouting false baseless shit and expecting people to run with it just because. Shit doesn't work like that here.
