    THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

      Will have to wait to watch it on the video at hone,wasn't able to open it on the phobe.
      Haiti and Cuba dared to challenge the staus quo,and they paid dearly for that activism.
      Jamaica too.
      Sone countries are without a backbone,and are now benefiting from the inequalities a handful of countries tried to address.
      Self reliance is a must.

            Occupation or liberation, D.R was a spanish colony ,some believe they still are , said Spanish empire was part of the economic blockade that starved Haiti after it liberated itself .

            Why am I not surprised you would find it strange ?...Dying for the bredda to do a documentary on Jamaica.Thats some mind f*&*k right there.

                LOL....Wow...

                History

                The Dominican Republic was explored by Columbus on his first voyage in 1492. He named it La Española, and his son, Diego, was its first viceroy. The capital, Santo Domingo, founded in 1496, is the oldest European settlement in the Western Hemisphere.

                Spain ceded the colony to France in 1795, and Haitian blacks under Toussaint L'Ouverture conquered it in 1801. In 1808, the people revolted and captured Santo Domingo the next year, setting up the first republic. Spain regained title to the colony in 1814. In 1821 Spanish rule was overthrown, but in 1822 the colony was reconquered by the Haitians. In 1844, the Haitians were thrown out and the Dominican Republic was established, headed by Pedro Santana. Uprisings and Haitian attacks led Santana to make the country a province of Spain from 1861 to 1865.

                  I was waiting a little bit before I deal with this one. Brown man time mindset is a hard habit to break in the Caribbean . Ask Tufton and Holness. LOL.

                              José Núñez de Cáceres, declared the colony's independence from the Spanish crown as Spanish Haiti, on November 30, 1821.
