Yo it's this asian grocery store run by some chinese cats around my town and these dudes in there know how to speak Kreyol. I be laughing at how they speak it so casually.
There are plenty of Chinese in haiti. have you been to Petion-Ville, lately?
I also have a white cuban homeboy named Mike i used to work with. Looking at homie you'd swear he was white scandinavian or something but his parents are actually cuban.
Anyway, ne speaks better kreyol than 99% of you haitian cats that were born here. He barely has an accent when he speaks it. shyt always blew my mind how he mastered the language. He lives in Kendall and mostly hangs out with them Haitian brehs at FIU and eventually learned the language.
Never been there, I haven't been to haiti since i was a kid.
edit - It's a French Antillean band playing Haitian Konpa, since that's pretty much all they played before the rise of Zouk.
this is how it was growing up for real. This shyt had me in tears!! Click the image
I gotta go to work but I took my bowl. I got my shyt in a bol beur.

Damn!I gotta go to work but I took my bowl. I got my shyt in a bol beur.

I cant blame you if you were not around that many haitians to speak to but your parents shouldnt have to FORCE you to learn.
It's like some of you went out of your way to not learn it because you didnt think it was cool and now regretting it. My homeboy Mike is white and speaks creole better than most most foreign born haitians and he learned from just hanging out with haitians

The hatred between black and white that exist in american culture have never existed in haitian culture. Yeah we have discrimination too among white mullato haitians and blacks but it's not on the same level.
Haitians tend to view americans as what we call "mal eduke/mal elve" which basically means rude and lacking manners. It's just a cultural divide where certain things are misinterpreted. Also black americans used to mistreat Haitians back in the day so we dont forget our persecutors. Hell Im black and white americans treated me with more kindness than black americans did when i first moved here.I was listening to Talk of The Nation on NPR, they did a segment on interracial relationships. A Haitian lady called the show and said her parents told her, and her sister not to date black American menIt seems its a common sentiment among Carribean blacks, but I could be wrong.
Do something about it: LEARN the fukking language. It's a damn shame how i know whites and cubans who speak creole better than a lot of kids born to haitian parents. It's like some of you went out of your way to not learn it because you didnt think it was cool and now regretting it.
