Sad but true. Even more sad is the fact that the almost maniacal distrust and hatred that many Dominicans feel toward Haitians is not based directly on the history of the two countries but on the fact that their hatred is a product of conditioning since birth.
Actually it is sad to see that type of illogic anywhere it occurs in the world.
