Haiti vs Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic and Haiti make up one island, but are two very different worlds. On the left you have haiti, one of the poorest, least developed countries in the world. On the right you have the Dominican Republic, which is known to bring in millions of tourists from around the world to enjoy its lovely beaches, endless ocean, and beautiful sunsets. The only things separating these two are an invisible line and the growing tension between each other. If two similar groups of people share one island, why is the interconnection between each other so complex? Haitians claim that they are being physically and mentally attacked by the dominicans because of their race and skin color. On the other hand, the dominicans feels as if the haitians are detrimental to their countries economy. The history that both countries share truly show the roots of their differences and what led up to how they view and treat each other now. The relationship that both countries share are just another example of how one country dehumanizes another because they believe its what's best for their own country.
