The argument for you is: it’s not genocide.
There’s also no property deprivation. It’s mass expulsions, though, so I guess you get 33% right.
That’s an F, by the way.
It’s mass expulsions based on race that you are arguing in favor of based on nihilism, if we’re being strictly accurate.
No, these expulsions are based on citizenship.
Spend an hour walking up and down Av. Maximo Gomez in Santo Domingo and you’ll talk to plenty of very very black Dominicans, none of whom are being deported.
That’s another F.
Yes, they are all the same color, but the social construction of race in Hispaniola is such that the Dominicans/Spanish speakers are “brown” and the Haitians/French speakers are “black” and there is constant demagoguery about the blacks. This is how racism works.
You are defending this racist human rights atrocity based on temper tantrum about how there’s just no morality left if we have gay rights. You are in the wrong about both what racism is and your autistic insistence that there is nothing to be concerned about but your interpretation of the law.

This is not correct. The largest ethnic cleansing in history happened post WWII as populations were forceably moved from the old multi-ethnic countries of eastern Europe to new ethnically cleansed states.
Right. The term was coined in reference to mass deportations from the Serbo-Croation “etnicheskoye chish cheniye.”
That’s not my experience of the DR. I believe you’re incorrect.
That’s absolutely untrue. I have never said, or implied, any such thing. You have simply fabricated this claim.
Is deliberate fabrication of your opponent’s position morally superior to autism?
Everybody knows what your bullshit equivocation between “‘Many of you,’ aghast at the idea that right-wingers want to impose their morality upon you” and people condemning the current events in the DR is about.
Now go home and get your fucking hugbox.
I’d be surprised to learn that ANYONE else believes this. I was speaking generally of the issue of the left resisting right-wing attempts to legislate morality, and if I had to pick a specific issue to illustrate the claim, abortion (“Keep your laws off my womb,”) comes to mind. But nothing to do with gay rights. I favor legislative adoption of same-sex marriage, to comment on the most visible gay rights issue on the national scene.
Who else, specifically, besides you, believes that my “bullshit equivocation” was an invocation of opposition to gay rights, and what specific rights might that mean?
Generally speaking, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. I’m gonna need a cite for… well given the track record basically all of your claims.
Eh, I’ll give him a D-. I grade on a curve.
Liberal bias! 
ETA: Holey moley, Bricker is destroying the libs in this thread. Sheesh. Pounding the facts and law on this one.
“Brown”? Brown as a race description is something born in the U.S.A.
The origin of Haitians in the Dominican Republic goes back to “papa Doc”-the Haitian dictator. He needed cash, so he arranged for Haitians to be sent across the border as contract workers-with their wages paid to the Haitian Government (Duvalier). These men were (effectively) slaves. Their children became stateless persons, with no right to reside there.
Papa Doc was supported by the USA-in a cynical move, Lyndon Johnson paid cash to Duvalier, because he feared a communist regime in Haiti(like Cuba). So, the USA allowed a corrupt regime to survive, based upon the fear of communism.
“Haw haw, those LIBS who think that racism is bad! We sure are showing them – just by asserting that all the reporting about the situation is wrong, and we have special access to the real truth because we’re married to Dominicans, and there is no such thing as morality, only our idiosyncratic, unverifiable version of the law. Is there a LAW against genocide? I say there isn’t, so checkmate, end of discussion!”
Go put on your helmet and rock yourself to sleep in the fucking corner with Bricker. I hear there might be some trains coming by later.
What the fuck are you talking about? These are the words used by the Dominican government for a hundred years.
You should really stop mocking autistic people.
No.
Well, enjoy the “resident bigoted asshole” status you so clearly crave, then. You’ve spilled plenty of flop sweat getting there.
Did you seem him in the Secular Blogger thread? His crown is already well-secured.
I am – but it’s because the libs are being poorly represented.
Yeah, I would think this battle could be more evenly matched. Apologies to Haberdash and liberals for implying they were affiliated: my last post read that way. Ditto for libertarians. Oops.
Incidentally, the International Crisis Group has little to say about this situation AFAICT. I did find something at Human Rights Watch, but it speaks of fears more than particular acts. My guess is that we’re seeing something unfortunate (IMO) done by a third world government that is somewhat attuned to world opinion. The latter is to their credit, to the extent it exists. We’ll see how things play out.
Meanwhile and hijack the Rohingyas, called the most persecuted people on earth (sub req), are on stage 4 of 5 steps to genocide. It doesn’t mean it will happen. But the situation in Myanmar bears monitoring.
