dominican schemes even in a news comment section, sigh.

If DR is so wonderfull, why not live there ? Maybe the US has more free benefits ? Do you think ?

most of them bred with you mom

Thats why the Mayor or all politic official wont move the parade to 5th avenue it will always stay on 6th ave and only 15 blocks long. get real dude

Rain Doesn’t Put Damper On Dominican Day Parade… but the comments on this message board sure do…such a shame we live with such ignorant people around us in this city…

I’ve lived in Washington Hts for nearly twenty years, and over that time have come to deeply resent the Dominican population. While as in all groups there are some sweethearts, the vast majority I’ve met or observed are loud, selfish, ungrateful for what they have been given (and frankly, if it’s not good enough, let them return to the DR) heaving discarded junk in the street, and looking to get by at the expense of everyone else, showing no regard for their host neighbors.

Over a third of the population up in this part of town is Dominican. How is that fair? Who opened the floodgates for an ethnicity that returns proportionally nothing to those on whose welcome mats they tread? Reform the immigration laws and remove those who don’t contribute, otherwise our own lowest common denominator will continue to sink.

Drug dealers and Bodega owners.

There is no such thing as a perfect culture. The Dominicans need to take a look at theirs and ask themselves why the DR is one of the poorest nations on earth. Maybe then the overwhelming lack of responsibility in their community will become apparent. Low literacy, high illegitimacy, glorification of criminality and poverty would render any group of people to the bottom of the socio-economic spectrum.

Disclaimer: I am well aware that not all Dominicans fit my characterizations – and many of them have the same concerns as I do, a white man. But responsible Dominicans aren’t the ones you see loitering on the same spot of the sidewalk day after day. Responsible Dominican citizens are doing their best to be just that, responsible citizens.

I have no problem with ethnic pride per se. But many (but definitely not all) Hispanics – especially the Dominicans – place way too much emphasis on their ethnicity without any acknowledgement whatsoever of their place in AMERICA. With the perhaps rabid level of celebration displayed at the Dominican parade, one would think that the DR is the greatest place on earth. But these revelers don’t seem to remember that for some reason, THEY HAD TO LEAVE DR for a better opportunity here in the States. A little deference to this opportunity The US has afforded them is in order, but apparently they don’t think so. On some level they seem to resent being here. I live in Washington Heights. Dominican flags are all over the place. But American flags are conspicuously rare. That is wrong.

Last year a pregnant teenager was stabbed in the head and drunken revelers took over 10 blocks in Washington Heights with out of control street parties…..What do you expect

Of course the rain didn’t bother these people. They’re used to a lot of water because of the way they are illegally smuggled into this country….by sinking boat!

Let’s see Dominican culture. Absent baby daddies, welfare hogs, no education. Good job, that;s really something to be celebrating around parades. How do I know this? I work for a state agency, and from my experience, more than 1/2 of the welfare recipients seem to be Dominicans who continuously pop up more children than they can raise with different men who disappear from their lives after the sex. For a country and population so small, they sure do take more than they contribute. My advice, buy some condoms, get education, and act like human beings for a change.

It’s hard to defend people’s basic human dignity from all the racists after you hear a girl got stabbed in the head last year… Dominicans, get your act together!

Are you planning to take your hatred and ignorance to your grave?

its amazing how many people on here are a bunch of racist trash….karma is a bioch!

I don’t like these people in the parade because most of them are gangs.

Only the lowlives and felons come to these parades. They all spoil it fo rthe good and respectful people

I am Dominicana and would love to celebrate my beutiful heritage but unfortunatly since 99% of my people are animals I would not take the risk of getting stabbed just for fun. Pass!

for what to watch a whole bunch of people just walking around waving flags this is no parade there’s never a a pretty float to see and its only from 36 to 52 street common even the people watching the parade crashes into the parade. This parade is the most disorganized parade I ever seen. and I am a domincan and its a shame that people just dont know how to act. Im glad its raining domincans dont like water fall on them. so it will be empty on 6th ave.

hell no i would never
