The D.R. has a literacy rate of 98.8%, compared to Haiti’s dismal 60.7%.
The economic gap between the Dominican Republic and Haiti is striking, comparable only to North and South Korea. Today, the DR is about 8 times wealthier than Haiti, while Haiti’s standard of living hasn’t advanced at all since 1950. On top of this the DR already surpassed Brazil & Colombia in GDP per capita.
The Dominican Republic is 73% Triracial, 16% White, & 11% Black with the Triracial ancestry population being 58% European, 35% African & 6% Native
Haiti is 95% Black & 5% Mixed being the most pure Afro descent people in the Americas
The Dominicans & Haitians have 2 totally different history. DR was a mostly settlers colony & Haiti was a slave colony
During the colonial time Dominicans were
38,000 White
38,000 Free Mixed
15,000 Slaves
2,000 owners
French-Haiti was
700,000 Slaves
22k Free Black/Mix
25k White
Race & Culture can affect IQ results. Test performance differences between racial groups have been observed since the inception of IQ testing in the early 20th century. This is more obvious between Dominicans & Haitians. Dominicans are majority Mixed with mostly European ancestry while Haitians are majority or pure African descendants.
According to a study by Boston University skull dimension of Dominicans and Haitians differ despite close physical proximity
BUSM researchers conducted the craniometric study (measuring the main part of the skull) in Dominicans and Haitians
Haitians blame all their misfortune on foreigners & whites so they dont have to take responsibility for their actions. Dominicans in the other side blamed their own governments for their failures and vote them out when ever they didn’t performed
Dominicans & Haitians are the best example of 2 people with different racial make up sharing the same island, ambient, nutrition, environment, resources, etc and having totally different economic & cultural outcomes.

These differences IQ results wouldn’t be so different if Haitians didn’t massacre and genocide their white population.
Haitians were Black supremacists who banned whites from owning land or becoming citizens in Haiti, they massacred their white population & did the same to Dominicans.
Haitians were the only Black people in the world to oppressed & installed racist law against White. They did this in the Dominican side of the island during their military brutal occupation of Santo Domingo
Haitians were Black Imperialists who quickly named their country “Empire of Haiti” after gaining independence and within months invaded the Dominican side.
Haitians invaded & ordered the massacre of White🇩🇴 in March 25, 1805 . These populations of white descent were then deported to the large cities of Haiti where they were killed in public places by being crushed (by horses or beasts of burden) and quartered. Over 10,000 Whites-Dominicans(Spanish-Euro descent) were massacred by Black Haitians.
Thanks to the French this 1st invasion attempt was stopped at the gate of 🇩🇴 capital. These massacres laid the foundation for two centuries of animosity between the two countries.
Haitians once again invaded Dominicans in February 1822 & installed anti-White racists laws where they banned Whites from owning land, purchasing lands, gathering in big groups & forced many to get exiled from our island to Puerto Rico & Cuba (the reason for our relatively low pure white population).
Haitians were(or are?) Black Imperialists, Black Supremacists, Black Oppressors, Black Occupiers, & Black Mass Murderers. Now we are telling the real history, no the false glorified history of Haitians.
Haitians didn’t massacred all the white Dominicans, their descendants survived and are currently 16% or 1.8 Million of DR population.
This satellite image highlights the stark contrast in nighttime illumination between the DR🇩🇴 and Haiti, showing their economic & IQ disparity. The DR🇩🇴 is brightly lit, indicating widespread electricity (over 98% of the country have 24/7 electricity) and development, while Haiti remains mostly dark, reflecting less infrastructure development and limited access to electricity.
This graph shows a sharp economic separation between the Dominican Republic and Haiti from 1950 to 2018. The Dominican Republic's GDP per capita rose significantly, exceeding $12,000, while Haiti's remained stagnant around $1,800, reflecting little economic growth. Haitians make excuses for their failures even though they had similar economy with the DR in the 50’s thanks in large part to DR going thru a dictatorship who controlled & owned most of the economy. In the 50’s most of the world was in ruins specially after WW2 just happened . This affects both DR & Haiti. After the 50’s many countries including many East Asian countries began to raise and become economic powerhouses. However, Haiti stayed the same while the DR growth at a rapid pace, specially after the mid 2000’s when DR started growing at 5-7% per year.
According to the World Bank the Dominican Republic is on track to achieve its goal of becoming a high-income country(developed country) by the 2030’s , and is expected to grow 79% in this decade.
Many people have a very distorted perception of the Dominican Republic and Dominicans because we share an island with Haiti and somehow that means Haiti get to defined Dominicans even though Dominicans have been in the island as a Mixed Hispanic people for over 535+ years while Haitians are the new comers who were brought to our island around 245 years ago. The new comers cannot define the old ones.
I’m defining the better views, Dominicans define themselves, Dominicans are different than Haitians & there is nothing wrong with it, we are like water & oil, two totally separate people.
Some people believe that because Dominicans are right next to Haiti, that give Haiti the right to define the racial make up of Dominicans. Many tourists go to DR specifically Punta Cana & dont know that Punta Cana is 70% illegal haitian population & workers. They leave thinking Dominicans are just Spanish speaking looking Haitians.
Dominican-American explains why the Dominican Republic is having a rapid economic boom in the last decade, making DR the Largest-Economy in the Caribbean & Central America and the 6th economy in Latin America & the 4th largest economy in North America after 🇺🇸 , 🇨🇦 & 🇲🇽
The DR is many times safer than Haiti & a lot of places in the United States. Dominican-American explains why?

There have been 12 presidents in Latin America with Arab origins, a result of more than a century of Arab migration to L.A.
Most of these Arabs immigrants were Christian & some Muslims
All 11 presidents are of either Lebanese, Syrian or Palestinian origin.
Arabs came in three waves from the Levant. During the Ottoman Empire's persecution of Christians, the Lebanese Civil War & some after the Arab Spring
These Arabs immigrants quickly rose to middle & upper class of the social ladder in all Latin America creating business, etc
The newer Arab(Lebanese) descent president being elected in LA is Dominican president Luis Abinader that was just elected 2 weeks ago for his 2nd term
His grandfather was a Lebanese immigrant from Baskinta, Mount Lebanon, who arrived to the Dominican Republic in 1898.
The two countries have a drastic racial differences despite being on the same island
Dominicans have been a Hispanic mixed society for over 530 years while Haitians were brought to the west side of the island around 260 years ago.
According to DNA studies the average Hispanic Dominican is 58% Euro 35% Afro & 6% Native
While Haitians are 90-99% African
Culture play a huge role in the economic differences between the 2 nations & no just their different racial make up.
Anti-DR propaganda claim that Dominicans are simultaneously both black & racists towards black ppl which is an oxymoron claim. That Dominicans are historically racists & we were always this way since colonial time. Historical evidence tell us otherwise ⬇️
Contrary to popular belief that “Dominicans were slaves” most Dominicans were white & free mixed with a minority of slaves during 1700’s colonial time. In colonial time Dominicans were:
38,000 White
38,000 Mixed free
15,000 Slaves
2,000 Slaves owners
Dominicans are the best example of how to reject racial-color divisive identity & unite the people under one culture. Throughout our history Dominicans were always an exception to the rule compare to other colonies during colonialism specially the French colony of Haiti.
