No wonder the haitian government lets DR mistreat the darker Haitians/Dominicans cause they would have been treated with the same contempt back in Haiti anyway. But at least in DR they have a way to make a living.not Haitian but live in a Haitian hood in Miami and had Haitian co-workers that used to kick the ballistics with me. the creoles definitely have both a caste and class system in place. i remember during the earthquake they continued to enjoy life up on the hill over Port au Prince during the suffering.
creole co-worker once made disparaging comments bout n. miami (working class)Haitians.

That happen when you sell people who look like to people who dont. 500 years later...
EducationalNo such thing. At least not in the way you're thinking
It's a result of a lot of rich foreigners that migrated to Haiti and essentially became Haitian over decades of the families being there. Other part is some of the black mofos who have money being attracted and marrying mulattos.
Remember when German and Syrians and others were moving to Haiti by the bunches in the mid 1900's Haitians made it illegal for foreigners to OWN land in Haiti. The purpose of said law was to prevent foreigners from coming and buying up all the property while leaving the locals unable to compete in their own land. We've seen how that worked out in some places. See parts of the Bahamas. See Turks and Caicos islands.
To circumvent that law many of these foreigners just married Haitian women. Them being white and middle-eastern, they mostly gravitated to.... the lighter-skinned Haitians and mulattos. Thus why you see many Haitian families with german last names and middle eastern last names like Scutt, Acra, Mayher and also including my own last name.
My dads great grandad moved to Haiti from Bangladesh. Thus why many people see my last name think I'm indian when they see the last name on my resume... only to see a black man show up like "Sak ap fèt, chef?"
Francois ,meant well. Just that the way he went about it (ruthless killings and all) was all wrong.not Haitian but live in a Haitian hood in Miami and had Haitian co-workers that used to kick the ballistics with me. the creoles definitely have both a caste and class system in place. i remember during the earthquake they continued to enjoy life up on the hill over Port au Prince during the suffering.

When Americans invaded Haiti they tried to implement a lot of laws to segregate the country too. They tried the same in Cuba. But the black people in both countries were way more powerful than they anticipated.
