Jammed Knee And Ankle

journalism social pages of newspapers Dominicans are racist, discriminatory and classist

Most of the journalists covering the social pages of newspapers Dominicans have several guidelines that can not fail to comply "with instructions from above", if want their reports and briefing notes are distributed.

These "lines and stripes" are: not photograph very dark-skinned people-like "chop", women with braided hair and long fingernails, people with plastic cups, poorly dressed, classless, dull or carry. Continue reading ...

The social partners have their exceptions, obviously, if we are talking about a foreign character, or Creole classless, who has money or constant struggle to overcome it and it became a popular phenomenon, as Sammy Sosa, for example, that does not go unnoticed by the camera lens.


These instructions make the social pages of the Dominican newspapers and magazines of this type, discriminatory and gray spaces. We think that these projects are being run by mediocre without soul or heart, people looking to believe that the bourgeois sectors predominate in the country.

is important to remind the editors of social class is not bought with money, that money is not synonymous with class, people are not judged by the color of their skin and appearance, we live in a nation of mulattos and that we are a mixture of ethnicities, and that this discriminatory action is disgusting and embarrassing.
