Mainly cos bigger world powers like the USA and France have been using/abusing them for decades imo.

Im barely dominican though.  My mom is dominican but her father was lebanese/syrian immigrant in the DR and her mother was italian/spanish 2nd generation dominican.

Or, even more true, the Dominican Republic has arguably been mettled with by the United States far more than Haiti has, yet the DR is beverly hills compared to Haiti.  Up until the middle of the 1800's haiti actually occupied the DR as a foreign invader.  so before you start criticizing the US again you should look a little more deeply into that island's history instead of resorting to your generic, typical and cliched anti Americanism


Its ok for every other country in the world to occupy countries except for the United States right?

its a shit hole because it had 32 coups since independence.  they had 32 coups because independence was gain by slave rebellion.  people in servitude for so long generally dont have strong political traditions.

Haiti used to be the worlds top supplier of sugar years ago. now they have only 2% of their country forested.  lack of arable land leads to economic chaos in a country that has only known angriculture.
