Ughhh, all this talk about Dominicans, Puerto Ricans or Hispanics period either being or appearing to be Black or White is just stupid ! Because all Latino heritages link back to Africans(black), Europeans(white),Natives, & * Spainards due to slave time & etc. So either way you put it some where along the line there’s a little bit of all of that in us. & also the color of your skin doesn’t decide what you are, Us hispanics look very Bi-Racial.

In DR there are many blacks as well as mulatos and white people with blue eyes . We are a mix of African Indios and People from Spain. just because ur black does not means you are African American. Don’t b ignorants.

Dominican is a nationality, not a race !! And in dominican republic there are black people, so he’s still black, even if he’s american and dominican !!!Neverthless, he can have mixed blood from his dominican’s side.

Fab IS Dominican & Black. An individuals race cannot be determined by merely looking at their skin tone. Skin tone is a deception. Just as others have said pertaining to this topic: Dominicans come in all colors. Look at baseball players, take a trip to the Republic and see for yourself. The DR is a melting pot of so many different cultures, skin tones, and ethnicities, it is foolish for one to say a person such as Fab cannot be partly Dominican. Even Fab has stated his race. It’s a shame ignorance is still so common.

Fabulous is black and dominican because he said so in the Chelsy lately show.Thats where I found out he was domincan and I thought he was just black.Because Chelsy ask why did he called his album Loso and he said its because he is also dominican.So yes he is black and dominican period.

Oh and I forgot to mention if you watch the video for “This is my party,” There is a scene where they do a close-up on his Air Forces and he has a custom pair with the Dominican flag on the back. Any more challengers?

For all the non-beleivers and the ignorant which choose to make up their own realities….On Fab’s first album on the track called “Not Give a F*ck,” He has a line which goes “Half of my roots are Dominican/Fabuloso! Me Gusta los Benjamins” He also has a song with Rah Digga where he calls himself a “Niggaminican”. His Dominican roots are also what has caused him to recently call himself “Fabuloso” and “Loso”. Obviously inspired by Carlito’s Way but also paying homage to his Hispanic roots. Get it CORRECT people!

I’m tired of people saying ” look at him you can tell he’s black” or whatever. like c’mon, you can’t always tell someones race by just lookin at them.
