Also, dominicans don't feel that haiti is part of the dominican republic or that haitians are our "brothers", but that doesn't mean we shouldn't help them. It is part of our culture to help our neighbors. Actually, saying that haitians practice or are voodoo worshipers is not steriotype at all, that’s a fact.

The PAT ROBERTSONIAN position indicated in your article is shared only by a very little minority mainly older uneducated people.

One little typo that got through spellcheck--it's "bear" not "bare resentment" in the last paragraph. Muchas gracias!
