NEW YORK, Aug. 9, CMC – New York City Council on Wednesday approved a proposal from Caribbean American Council Member Jumaane D. Williams for the co-naming of a street in Brooklyn in honor of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the first leader of independent Haiti.

Williams – the son of Grenadian immigrants, who represents the 45th Council District in Brooklyn, said a section of Rogers Avenue in Brooklyn will be co-named Jean-Jacques Dessalines Boulevard.

He said Jean-Jacques Dessalines Boulevard will span along Rogers Avenue, from Farragut Road to Eastern Parkway, within the Little Haiti Business and Cultural District.

Last month, the New York City Council ceremonially designated a section of Flatbush, Brooklyn as “Little Haiti” “in recognition of the profound impact and continued presence of Haitian culture in the area,” said Williams, who is also a candidate for New York State Lieutenant Governor.

I had shared this post on my page specifically because when I looked at the angry emojis I noticed they were from mostly white folks and a few Dominican folks.

1.) the Dominicans who were mad didnt even live in the area, borough and some not even in NYC. Not sure why they were mad about something happening in a Haitian community.

2.) White folks calling this supporting genocide and terrorist despite the French Colonizers being the true terrorist in the new world.

And then they wonder why people get on them about white privilege because some whites are so brainwashed by their own foolery that they just give away their racist views to people and then get mad when called on it!

Funny logic. Haitians killed all the whites so they are terrorist even though it was a slave revolt and for some reason white people dont like to call it a slave revolt. I guess saying it like that would expose them lol.


White people dont even know that even the Polish who are white were against them and were actually excused from the killings

So they think they can brutally enslave people and those people shouldn't revolt violently? LMAO

Irony is in Europe when they overthrew the ottomans they killed every Muslim they could . So did the Spanish. And neither group was treated 5% as bad as haitians were. They don't consider that terrorism though.
