Barack Obama to allow 100K Haitians into the US without Visas

[William F. Russell]

Open message to @Elle Driver (ONLY because the coli would not allow me to PM her). The same sentiment applies to others in this thread whom I may have unintentionally offended.



I think we may have got off on the wrong foot and certain things were misunderstood and misconstrued.

First and foremost, in the limited time that I've been on the coli, I've respected you and thought you were a down sista. I generally like your perspective and I look up to you on certain issues.

Secondly, as a first-generation Haitian American, I have nothing but respect for African Americans. If you feel that any of my posts were dissing AAs, I am sincerely sorry.

Moreover, I was not attempting to shyt on AAs for their achievements in the Civil Rights Movement. The point I was trying to make was simply that the resources and benefits gained by the movement are not used exclusively by AAs. That goes to my deeper point that Haitian Americans shouldn't be denigrated for taking advantage of resources that were gained by the Civil Rights Movement (many thanks to your ancestors and their ilk) while turning a blind eye towards other non-AAs that do so maliciously.

I know you're an educated and intelligent woman so you can see where I'm coming from when I made that statement. Again, if you feel that I was denigrating AAs or saying that they did not achieve anything through the Movement, I'm sorry.

Lastly, even though I did piss you off or offend you, I don't think any less of you (although I'm disheartened). You're my sista so we're in the same fight. Let's not get caught up in semantics and miss the forest for the trees in our collective fight against white supremacy.

Peace and Love!

How are you going to build it without the money that they steal? Through investment from the diaspora.

Put the thieves heads on a spike.

We should get our house in order before we go try connecting with the black diaspora around the world?

No disrespect, but I've seen very little "connecting w the black diaspora" dialogue in this thread....mostly disrespect towards AAs and coming to the US to eat off the opportunity. I welcome more black people into this country, for the record....just calling out what I see.

Ego Elmis, I'm not that guy breh. If you read this whole thread my position is very clear. I have nothing against anyone but I would prefer black people of all aspects of the diasporia attempt to build together. The intraracial divisions aren't helping us...

I'd also like Haitians to begin to focus on Haiti and it's development.

That also goes for every black nation across the face of this earth, including the nigerians that are here.

Im disputing the negativity and troll act by the hand of @Poitier straight shytting on haitians.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

and if AA's are being treated badly what exactly is so funny about this ? infact black americans are being treated so badly so why come to America as a black person

i dont like these 'black americans are treated like dogs har har har' statements.

yea that parts not making any sense to me now. we dont have our own country, we are a very small minority and others have a lot of wealth, and thus we can be pushed around, you on the other hand dont have to worry about jews taking your neighborhoods since theyre all black. but youre running here?

Who said they don't though? Like I said never heard no Haitian bad mouth AA's before.

Dude there some Haitians doing that, but not at the level it needs to be to change the country to positive direction.

dude, all Im saying is 100K manpower and brains up and leaving cant possibly be a positive for Haiti. but youre celebrating like yall won the lotto. no pride for home, hand the island over. we been trying to get off the plantation but got no where to go, we tried Liberia but apparently people dont like being occupied. wed gladly take a nice island tho.

kick off some petition in Haiti 100K AAs, free residential visas, and we can apply for private property. hand over the keys and no hating or coups after we start eating.

Call out your Haitian brehs who started it.

 

[Ego Noir]

Black Americans,South and Central Afro Latinos and South Africans have a different struggle than the rest of the diaspora. Respect that.

So basically you lump in and shyt on haitians and haiti as a whole because youve been disrespected by haitians?

 

[Poitier]

No disrespect, but I've seen very little "connecting w the black diaspora" dialogue in this thread....mostly disrespect towards AAs and coming to the US to eat off the opportunity. I welcome more black people into this country, for the record....just calling out what I see.

Are they so egocentric that they can't see it

I'd advise you to read this whole thread then return breh

When have I shytted on Haiti? I made all my comments to the people who fled Haiti.

It's very easy to say that. Do you know how many coups Haiti has had? I agree. The people have to hold the leaders accountable, but it's hard when they are being supported by outside forces. And fyi a lot of the voices of change comes from the diaspora.

Trust me, I have a lot questions myself.

People from outside the USA like to talk shyt about the USA, but give them an opportunity to live here and they'll come running.
