Sammy Sosa is speaking out on his light-bright grill that we posted on Bossip this weekend:

Sammy Sosa tells friends he is comfortable in his own skin. But a widely circulated photo of the former Cubs slugger makes his skin color appear several shades lighter. “He’s not trying to be Michael Jackson,” said former Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis, who talks frequently with Sosa. Sosa was photographed recently during an appearance at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. “He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin,” Polihronis said. “Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of (the photo appearance) is just the lighting.

sammy sosa faces

“He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, ‘If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.’

“People who saw him in person did not react the same way. He can’t believe it is such a big deal.” Polihronis, the former Cubs Care/Community Relations manager for the team, said Sosa told her he has used moisturizing treatment at night on his face. “He has always been concerned with the way he looks,” she said. “Probably just bad timing going to an awards show.” Among the possible side effects for some laser skin rejuvenation methods include discoloration of the skin. The treated area may become lighter or darker in appearance. “He was doing a dermatological skin process after years and years (of playing baseball) in the sun,” Polihronis said. “It did come out looking weird (in the picture).”

Come on now Sammy, it can’t look that much different in person. Poor thang.

    Beyonce's Pubic Hair

    He’s about a lot of lies…he needs to love himself. Jussayin’…

    Sosa's Italian Mafia Boss Makeover, Epic Fail. Oh yeah my *****, Wifey's implants are different sizes

    @ Bey’s Pubes… you need to be waxed or shaved off, the stans see you more than Jay Z does

    That name you have is killing me!

    Dr. Heather

    [...] story here Bossip Staff Skin Rejuvenation Process Cited as Reason for Sosa's Lighter Skin [...]

    Modern_

    “skin rejuvenation”… smh. doesnt he know darker skin ages better?? either he needs to sack his Dermo or someones tellin lies.

    KPN

    then explain the hair, eyes and…. is that lipstick on your lips?????

    C Allen

    Which steroids brighten your face like that? Oh….Sammy didn’t use steroids like he didn’t use a
    corked bat……right.

    love me love me not

    He Lying just like the rest of them celebs when they were poor they all were black as leather now they got a lil cheddar their skin look yellow ewwwww. Be proud of who you are cause at the end of the day??? Your children will still take after mother or father complexion unless they get a different race to breed with!!!

    tj

    po suga. even his woman looks perplexed. but maybe she looked down and saw her lopsided boob job? i feel sorry for people that can’t love themselves the way God made them.

    Re

    Over there lookin like Lebron James…

    Nique

    LOL! Comments are hilarious!!

    They both need to part ways with their cosmetic surgeons…

    Yikes

    Throw a metal suit on him and could kinda p***** for the Tin Man in the Wiz

    Jay the Real One

    I think he did go Michael Jackson, yeah I said it.

    Allyson

    that’s why his eyes are green and his curly hair is now straight – str8 up bull*hit

    btw, skin rejuvenation on your FACE makes your ears white too?? not quite SMH

    Misssexytexas

    I would believe it if the dude didnt have on contacts! What grown ***** man wears contacts! He prob thought it wouldnt be such a drastic change in the skin lightning process but one things fo sho it aint no rejuvanation!!!!!!!!!

    Kool Breeze

    This cat look soooo damn happy to be white now…but, to bad the white folks and black folks will shun him now for hatred of self. Sammy, remember we’ll be watching to see if he changes back to his original complexion…lol

    nevrquit

    Used Tazorac and Bleaching Cream a little too long Sammy!!! That will do it, along with the skin peeling treatments in the dermatologist office.

    Bird

    Get the heck out of here! He would be better off saying nothing than that whack explanation. I ain’t trying to read the boys mind, but Latinos are far worse than American blacks when it comes to discriminating against one another for skin tone. The “darkies” are at the bottom of the barrell. I’m sorry to see it is effecting him negatively. He looked fine before.

    Stop It!!!!!!!!

    He is a damn lie! No skin rejuvination, and no amount of lighting makes you look like that. He needs to just admit that he fu@ked his face, and body up. He might have had more credibility had he not come out with the perm, and contacts too. He had skin lightening treatment! You look baaaadddd Sammy!

    Sosa's Italian Mafia Boss Makeover, Epic Fail. Oh yeah my *****, Wifey's implants are different sizes

    Steroids will brighten you skin if you rub them on your face instead of ingesting them. Wifey’s hair looks weird to me. The sheen, texture, and color of the top and the sides don’t match. Like she took two packs of wet-n-wavy and stuck them to the sides of her head.

    justme

    Don’t mention Michael Jackson.

    Rude.

    Man is DEAD. LEAVE HIM ALONE

    nyuger

    rejuvenaton???

    who this man think hes fooling..lol another self hating black man..oh forgot hes Dominican.Latino a.k.a. Latnegro.. a.k.a. Negro speaking spanish.

    Whata Coon.

    lawd da mercy

    Now why would he do that? He was ugly enough.

    pynklyzurd14

    homeboy’s wearing contacts… Smh. I’m surprised he didn’t dye his hair blond. As a Afro-Latina(Dominican), I am ashamed. Sammy, go sit this one out. & if they did mess you up like this, why not sue or get ur money back? Please, this is low self-esteem at it’s finest. Smh.

    Mike123

    DEM A BLEACH….DEM A BLEACH….Yeah and he looks like some those African artists in their videos with the white face and black necks and hands!!!

    always knew

    Quit lying, Sammy. You KNOW you bleached your skin.

    :( SMDH

    Whaaaa

    I just want to know what Girlfriends hand is doing???

    Caramel Cat

    I would believe him if his hair wasn’t straightened and if his eyes didn’t have light contacts in them. He’s full of ish and like someone else on here said, why are his ears the same color as his face too? I’ve seen people that bleach their skin and it always has that slightly spotty look to it that he has going. It never looks naturally light, more like some foreign substance has made the skin look pale and almost sick looking…smh…

    Dirty Diana...Let Me Be ♪

    i dont know why they keep putting MJ’s name in dey damn mouth….*rolls eyes*

    Lydia

    It doesn’t help that he has on colored contacts.

    I guess their are procedures that can make you look lighter. WOW.

    Bg(~007~)

    No words for this!

    uptowngirl

    No words..just SMDH!!!

    DizzyGuy

    Look at him trying to look like Fred Astaire…shuck and jive..shuck and jive sosa.

    Angee

    He need to kill that noise!

    That excuse does not sit well with me. Like Bossip said, it can not be that different in person. There aint that much lighting in the world!!

    Look at him!!

    JAMIESTARR

    He’ s bleaching his skin!! So fuc kin what?!! Butt implants, butt pads, push us bras, facial surgery, men wearing 2 earings, ladies with tattoos everywhere, breast implants, ugly people with dreads. The world is so vain and fuc ked up. What else is new!! l o fuc kin l!!

    Alright Sammy whatever you say…

    Now, I need an explanation as to why your girlfriend/wife’s *****ies are lop-sided???

    She needs some *****y rejuvenation = another breast implant… SMH

    Really now, u can not be that damn dumb?

    obvious skin lightening
    ovious light colored contacts

    WHAT IN SAM’S HELL. I WILL NEVER EVER EVER UNDERSTAND Y ONE WOULD HATE THEIRSELVES SOOO MUCH TO DO THIS.

    Negroplease

    He’s DOMINICAN..DO we need to say anything more? The DR has some SERIOUS skin tone/hair texture issues. All one has to do is just research the history to understand why these people are so screwed up about skin tone/hair texture. It is BLATANTLY taught in the schools, home and culture.

    lol DESPITE how OBVIOUS IT IS.. This is MAJOR with Puertoricans and Dominicans.They would sell their souls to anybody with white skin.

    let me say, Not all, but a good portion of them are like this.

    tg

    Well he may not be trying to look like Michael Jackson – but that is exactly who he looks like to me or Jermaine with light skin. Why even bother to go through all that when his skin looked fine in the other pictures. I guess people just got money to BURN.

    chaka1

    @Negroplease

    My boyfriend is Dominican. The culture isn’t that screwed up.

    Sosa looks like he had a bad chemical peel or a bad reaction to it. People mainly do it to clear skin blemishes.

    It’s not that big of a deal. His skin will return to normal soon.

    Man, I just don't care™

    **Sammy’s publicist is researching “vitiligo” as we speak**

    SMH.

    nyuger

    chaka1,

    PLEASE STOP THE DENIAL… THE CAT BLEACHED HIS SKIN. THIS AINT NO DANM CHEMICAL PEEL..

    his color contacts and his straight hair is just something he did not related to his skin changing?? come on now.

    I CONCUR I CONCUR. THIS ISSUE HITS VERY CLOSE TO HOME AND YEAH NOT ALOT OF THEM KNOW THEY HISTORY. THAT IS Y IN THE EARLY 90′S IN NY WHEN BLACKS AND DOMINICANS WERE WARING I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY COULD BEEF AND HATE EACHOTHER SO MUCH AND MOST OF THEM LOOK LIKE WHAT THEY HATE????. BUT HISPANICS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE COLOR ISSUE I MEAN I SHOULD KNOW MY FAM IS FROM MIXED CULTURES JAMACIANS BEING ONE AND SOME OF THESE BLACK PPL HAVE SOME OF THE WORST COLOR COMPLEXES THERE IS “TRUST”.

    Sticky-n-Sweet

    Then explain the green contacts…Sammy look, everyone knows how colorstruck Dominicans are, you ain’t got to lie boo…that’s why I’m SO glad I’m Trini, we know we’re beautiful regardless of skin complexion!

    NotACream

    The so-called treatment is the Metathione Pill (more powerful and faster if given intravenously “IV”). Celebs secret. They end up with one complete tone scalp to toe. Creams can’t do that! This thing works by shutting down the melanin pigmentation in skin from the inside out. Ever wondered how some Celebs can bask in the summer getting all tanned in St. Tropez or outdoors sports, only to show up a month or two later much lighter? There you have it!

    Jay the Real One

    I love how black folks the first ones to call out other folks as color struck. You guys are no better.

    bawse!

    If this thing is permanent I say F him.

    What’s his explanation for the contacts lenses? Eye rejuvenation?

    Man, I just don't care™

    “I love how black folks the first ones to call out other folks as color struck. You guys are no better.”

    @ Jay the Real One

    Some blacks are like this but no where near the way Dominicans are. Dominicans wont even admit they are black even if they look like Wesley Snipes..lol it becomes pure comedy looking at how they act at times even for black people.

    Dominicans take self hate to a whole new level.

    Someone Who's a Thinker

    ~~~~~~He’s not trying to be Michael Jackson,” said former Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis~~~~~

    Why didn’t this spokesperson keep her mouth shut. She sounds like a freakin’ idiot, putting MJ’s name in all this.

    Also, if MJ did bleach his skin, I’m sure he’s not the only black celebrity in Hollywood who’s ever done it. Look at Beyonce people. I’m sure she’s had some, er, skin rejuvenation work done. It’s not easy looking like you’re in your 20s when you’re really about to turn 36.

    Lastly, Dominicans do have serious issues with their blackness. And I totally concur with the Bossip reader who a few comments above mine wrote:

    “Its self hatred. Alot of Hispanics swear on the Holy Bible blacks have nothing to do with their bloodlines..lol

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I am Dominican & I am well aware of my AFRICAN roots. Know my family history, and embrace and am PROUD to be of African descent. As are a majority of Dominicans in the Dominican Republic. I ain’t letting 1 bad apple mess up what anyone thinks about my country & culture. Educate yourself. In my house we were taught that our skin is beatiful. No matter what shade. & my mom is a light-skinned Dominican/Spaniard, and my father is a dark-skinned Dominican/African. I have a caramel color to me. But, I would’ve loved myself either way; dark or light.

    & I KNOW that some of MY own black people aren’t knocking MY own Dominicans! Y’all put relaxer in your hair, weave, extensions, front-lace wigs, dye your hair blond, & put contacts in your eyes too. & some of you even deny your own race! I know b/c I’ve met a few in my lifetime, who are ashamed of blacks. So, do not come up in here talkin all that mess! & let me be clear, I am not co-signing or agreeing on what Sammy did at all. Homeboy got a little money, and went crazy. I will not attest to that hot mess… Smh.

    mj is king,so invincible

    Dont know what he is doing but his ppl should keep mjs name of they *****ing mouths when corned.WHETHER ANYONE BELEIVES MJ HAD VITILIGO OR NOT THERE IS PICTURE EVIDENCE ON YOUTUBE SHOWING HIS SKIN CONDITION.HE ALSO HAD LUPUS HENCE THE RED BUTTERFLY MARKS ON HIS FACE.MIKE IS GONE.

    Sed_Haec_Hactenus

    Most countries with an extensive slavery history have problems with colorism, it’s emotional and mental and will take many more years to straighten out. Light skin has always been *****ociated with success in life. Thousands of years ago, light skin was seen as a status symbol because if you had money you did not have to toil under the hot sun to make a living, you did not have to till the land. But those with money hired their land out to peasants to grow crops and labour in the fields, while they pursued an education in the hallowed halls of ancient universities and traveled the world. They protected their skin from the elements and in time light skin was seen as the optimal ideal in all societies, it meant you had money, cl***** and higher learning. As bad as this is amongst most caribbean countries, it is most worst in South East Asian countries, especially India where commercials to sell skin bleach are constantly shown on television. But the darker skinned Indians are fighting back. Don’t be too h***** on Sammy, he is a product of his country’s slavery past, things will change eventually.

    Dominicans are centuries behind when it comes to accepting/appreciating african heritage. During WWII, their then president invited the jews who were being persecuted to settle the Dominican Republic – not out of morality – but to “whiten” the country. Of all Latin American countries, dominicans are darkest skinned and still have the largest percentage of African descendant and they HATE it. Will do just about anything to change that. They treat Hatians like sh*t mostly for being black skinned. These people have so many names for so many different shades of black, I believe the list makes up most of their dictionary. Back in collegue, my best friend was from the DR, she had so many issues, I had to end the friendship. She’d relaxed her hair and blow dry the life out of it then swear it was “all natural”. She added a weave and agin told me how her hair just grew like that. She’d put on bleaching cream then spend 2 seconds in the sun – why? so she could say that she is dark because she tans. I know. It’s contradictory and makes no sense. Aaaah Gisela, if you’re reading this, I hope you’ve come to accept what a beautiful “mulatta” you are.

    I don’t know if anybody said this already but it looks like a damn vampire wow!

    Let’s say a prayer for Sammy because the poor ***** is only showing his ignorance. The kid barely has an elementary school education and comes from a country that is soooo backward – he must be a tormented soul. Being surrounded by his wealthy, whiter “peers” but treated with contempt like “I don’t care how much money you have, you’ll NEVER be one of us” and that is the way it in ALL the Latin American countries. Which kills me because when these a-hole come to America to benefit from the crumbs the civil rights movement AA have fought so hard for – they start condencending to AAs. Like they are better – They have culture. You’d think a group of people used to be treated as 2nd cl***** citizen would close ranks with AAs? Hell no? They can look like Djimon, they’ll tell you they’re white. With a straight face. And don’t get them started about how inferior AAs are………

    kerry

    Why are his ears the same color as his face if it is due to skin rejuvenation?! OMG I can’t stand him.

    DAMN SAMMY even if this is a skin rejuvenation or whatever you would be an ugly ***** light skinned *****..WHEW!
    And for all the comments about him looking Lebron, Finally people see that ***** is ugly as helllll!

    Sammy sorry to see you fall into the same trap as many. Thinking lighter skin would make you more acceptable. I understand how you feel next to Jeter, and rodriguez, but you should love you for you. Many Black latinos are not happy being *****ociated with black, so I guess he’s trying to erase his blackness.

    I read the same stories on Perez Hilton

    He look like Dresser from The Five Heartbeats.

    Sosa is ashamed of his blackness like a good portion of Hispanics. Mainly Puertoricans and Dominican.

    Okay that explains the skin, but not the green contacts and per

    my thoughts exactly! How does skin care do that to your hair?

    Nick In ATL

    To hell with this, has anybody figured out how to “upgrade” a johnson???

    THAT surgeon will win the damn *****EL prize — but there’ll be a downside: all you n—s walking around with those huge packages will have to look out for “drive by castrations” ….

    Jon

    He (Sammy Sosa) is from the Dominican Republic and many have a hang up about race. Much like in the past here in the amerikkka light skinned Blacks with semi straight/straight hair married other light skinned semi straight/straight haired Blacks. Other terms used in amerikkka by light skinned Blacks were: “paper bag test”/ “ruler (wooden) test”/ and the “pencil test” (the pencil must be able to p***** through the hair without hanging up.

    In the Dominican Republic some go as far as to marry their cousins to try and maintain their european features. If Sosa did bleach his skin he is simply a product of his culture and environment.

    Tamika

    I Can not beileve this idiot! I’m Dominican and I am proud also of my roots! Sammy should be ashamed of himself!

    MujerDominicana

    I would like to say that not all Dominicans are self-haters but too many are.The Dominicans hate the Haitians who gave us our freedom and that’s shameful.The sad truth is the Haitian and Dominican culture are very similar.I’m glad my family don’t have the self-hatred many Dominicans have.The funny thing thing we are light skinned Dominicans but we are proud of our African and European mix/culture.We embraced both not just the European one.

    Unfortunately Dominicans are not the only ones suffering from this sickness.In Asia,countries like India,Philippines etc,even Africa people are doing this.
    We can look at Rap videos and see what type of women are being featured in these videos.You have famous Black men like Neyo,Babyface making comments in regard to light skinned being more beautiful.
    We can just hope one day people can accept themselves.

    I grew up with people telling me how beautiful I am just because I’m light with natural green eyes.

    cornbread

    He looks very lite brite..Whata freak and just for you fools who don’t know just because a person has fair skin does not make then more beautiful this fool is the living proof..Just nasty

    Dominicangaga

    like they say in dominican republic ” un chopo con cuarto”

    cornbread

    I suddenly have a strange craving for a bowl of Count Chocula cereal after looking at his pic….
    He looks “casket ready”

    Caramel Goddess

    OK, that lyin’ @ss statement he released about this being a “cleansing process” woulda been a LOT more believable if his eyes weren’t lighter, too.

    SMH. WTF was he thinking?!

    stx

    he used to be handsome. Now not so much. Come back to the brown side Sammy!

    Tony Redds

    Sometimes Dominicans can be really color struck it aint even funny…

    Is Rihanna's sharp n pointy witchy fingernails took the oath banned

    to Sammy- NEGRO PLEASE!

    Is Rihanna's sharp n pointy witchy fingernails took the oath banned

    Sammy, you’re a Black man, no matter what the Spaniards that stole your ancestors taught you. They gave you their religion and language, that’s it! Black people, come on.

    Goya Rey

    “un chopo” is what he is called in the Dominican Republic …you cant by cl*****! The Museo Hombre Dominicano has an african exhibit like the spanish and indian..of all the roots of its heritage..He is from SAn Pedro de MArcoris twon of the Cocolos blacks who came there to cut sugar cane fomr the caribbean, and there are the african americans from Samana…all would call hima chopo meaning you can’t buy cl*****…You dont see David Ortiz doing this right? or Manny? Manny has dreadlocks…in other words African AMericans dont let one idiot apple make you make genralizations…everyone thought blacks were like this! My Nigerian Girlfriend thought most blacks wore zoot suits ,spoke jive slang, and permed hair (Men too) is that true? People still think that…not about DOmincians but of African aMericans and Micheal Jackson the biggest star of all TIMe..Skin disease mad ehim perm his hair straight and cut his nose Euro style? really? Dont make genralizations! Get a p*****port and discover our coutnry the cocolo’s, congos de melia, gaga, Vodu, and some AFrican AMericans in Samana..that are acutally African Methodist Episcopal…dont make GENERALIZATIONS! THE ENTIRE AFRICAN DIASPORA HAS SELF HATE ISSUES! type skin bleaching on current tv search engine and watch the Video about Jamaica,AFrica, and African Americans. colonized people always try to imitate the opressor…if it was reversed white would imitate blacks…dont hate him…feel pity for him he has no cl***** poor ***** low self esteem.

    @ pynklyzurd14 and dominicanamujer
    I am trying to defend us! I am a proud Dominican here you have the one drop rule, in DR we love all our roots African and Spanish…the Spanish had to Marry our ancestors becaus ethye would be excommunicated from the Catholic church…in the States becaus eof misegination laws Whties and Blacks didnt marry as in the DR…this si why we claim all our family…not only the BLACK SIDE..HE IS SELF HATING BUT MOST DOMINICANS ARE NOT THIS WAY! DONT GENRALIZE! MANY African Americans in the south are self hating, like Babyface who said light skin was more beautiful…or Jaime Foxx have you seen who he dates..or wesly snipes “who doesnt date black women” Come on! There are people in all cultures that emabr***** us! In dOminicans school we even learn what African tribes we are probably related to as well as what Spaniards…they Dont even Teach African american hsitory in the south as a required course.. We are lgith skin Dominicans descended from Fulani Africans and Canary Island Spaniards…and proud of both cultures!! I am Dominicano fulano….fulanito is an Dominican rap/spanish group who uses fulani..in the name whihc is in our dialect…does that sound like self hate to you..We eat Plantain from Africa and eat soups from AFrica and our Music uses congas, tambors..and evena scraping instrument which is Yoruba and Central aFrican in origin form Kalindu! We are very proud of being aFrican descent, Haiti conquered the DR and like any other conquering army abused us within time after they Eman*****tred slavery they abused us by taxing us to death! to pay France for recognizing thier black gov’t…should have we had to pay wiht our livestock and all our family savings? We fought for indepndence and won..since the USA came in the 1920’s and made a definite border they also put TRujillo in power form the USA sponsored School of the Americas and he killed people on both sides of the island…the USA sponsored that! Read our history before you start judging us! THE USA exploited all black countries in the Carebbean, inclduing Cuba Jamaica, DR, and Puerto Rico! Get a p*****port and start travelling ebfore making *****umptions..I am a AFrican Diaspora Student who happens to be Dominican and proud! Stop Juding all of us form one idiot…we could judge Micheal!

    “Yeah right, his nose was done…was that Vitiligo too, African aMericans are in denail SAmmy is like Hally Berry ,Beyonce, Al Sharpton, Farakhan, Prince,KAtt Williams, Ice T”

    You dont get it… the difference between this is ALL the black people you mentioned have no problem saying, claiming for proactively expressing their blackness. Most love anything blacks or that touches their bloodlines.

    The problems is Dominicans deny being black even if they look like Wesley Snipes and seperate from blacks. Blacks consider most Dominicans family but Dominicans are too ashamed of their black roots to show love for their own kind enslaved in another region.

    Its the denial and the continuous ***** kissing Dominicans give white people from M*****AS grom Spain that makes them look stupid. Dominicans and blacks waring in nyc ni the early 1990’s. lol

    They are the same people. i wonder who started those fights??
    most likely Dominicans.

    Dominicans spend most their time hating….

    HATING THEMSELVES.

    Self hatred is in all races, I am from Trinidad, I have family who I think is light and they wished they were lighter. I have had American blacks hate on me because of my skin complexion.
    I am in the Middle East and I know they have color issues with themselves,

    We can go on and on, those Europeans really jacked us, and we are stupid to still be caught up by it.

    One of my good friends of 14 years who is Dominican and he is light as hell, I guess sosa wish he had his color, I mean he don’t get tanned he gets pink. Love him though, in a best friend way.

    He went fro Soul Brother in the first pic to Ricky Ricardo in the last pic. That’s sad. SMH.

    Ms. J

    I saw this article a couple of days ago and didn’t realize it was the browned skinned baseball player. I’m shocked!! WoW, people in this country, as well, as people from around the world really have deep seeded issues regarding color. This is utterly sad and disgusting to me.

    pynklyzurd14

    @Goya Rey: WELL PUT!!! & where are you studying? I knew about alot of my history through my father and late-grandparents, but I want to learn even more. My father talks about Trujillo’s triflin ***** all the time, lol. But, some of these people here need to read up on African/Dominican History, & watch “In the Time of the Butterflies,” to get a better understanding of our culture. Real easy to talk when you don’t know anything. Some of our own black people don’t even know where they come from or what tribe they are descendants of. SMFH.

    “”Its the denial and the continuous ***** kissing Dominicans give white people from M*****AS grom Spain that makes them look stupid. Dominicans and blacks waring in nyc ni the early 1990’s. lol”"

    Am I really going to respond to this…I see he didnt read where we said We acknowledge our AFRICAN heritage but dont say we are black..because that is considered the African AMerican ethnic group term…We are identifying through nationality not race..We are African and Spanish Mixed (some have the taino gene)…by the way this guy writes…why waste my time.He doesnt get it. HE just likes to talk.
    @pynklyzurd North CArolina Central University @ Central! A HBCU…this guy @ ej dollaz (that name lol) does not know what he is talking about.

    @ EJ dolaz Blacks and Ricans warred Blacks and Itallians Warred Irish and Itallian Warred Puerto Rican and Domincians war…what is your point..that has been the history of NYC…watch Gangs of New York…This has been the history sisnc ethe ebgining it has nothing to do wit race but cl***** conflict…from the Marx theory..socail competition in a confined area…some things get capegoated like race but usually it is because of jobs, limited resources, etc..rarely it has anything to do with race…look at Germany..You need to get educated or you are young…proabably young..when you get older you see there is nothing new under the sun.
    @pyklyzurd…how can I get in contact with you?

    All the ape looking Negroes want to be white lol

    Goya Rey

    BTW @ EJ Dollaz…Negro en spanish meant Esclavo =an Object not human, a black…Moreno is a human of brown complextion, Domincians like me identify with our nationality…but we say we are of African & Spanish descent..but black in this country (because of the poposterous one drop rule, ie: Mariah Carey) is a pc rule which means African American, not african,not west indain African American, an African says they are Nigerian…does this mean they are not of AFrican ie : black descent? NO! therefore with Dominicans it is the same! You jsut dont get it, but did you understand this time identifying in NYC is by ethnic group and nationality…not race…like Itallian,Ethiopian, Indian, Haitian etc…is this rocket science?
