dear brothers and friends,
Once again it has been proved that as long as we don't manage to stand together for a common result our humiliation will always being seen by the world, unfortunately we need to change our selfishness mentality to look and give job to one another not to steel the country money which is to the people because we all know that our system is corrompt.
How to get rid of our evil mentality?
tout pou mwen enyen pou lezot yo. The riche is getting richer and the poor poorer.That what I see. I love my country but by the same talking I hate some of our mentality, ex. Haitian is always complaining not having money even the one who is doing well, but their business is going.
Why?
Ya toujou bali. God bless.

Well I have to first of all agree with my people but at the same I have to let you know one of the reasons why "not the Haitians".
Law number 89, known as the Cuban Adjustment act, was adopted by the US congress on the 2nd of November of 1966, it's main provisions was to change the legal status of the Cuban immigrants; to treat them as political refugees and to grant them political asylum; and as such provide them immediately with privileges that no other group enjoys, such as, automatic permanent residence status - all without review and without the usual waiting time. This privileged law affords the Cuban illegal immigrant the opportunity, to work legally, to govt. welfare, to unemployment benefits, and to free medical care, things that the average immigrant by no means is entitled to. and they also have the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity, Act of 1996. Of course they will be favored because they have what we don't have...
a "Voice"!
They have someone talking for them through them. In detail Hatians need to get a voice too in order to be heard.
If we don't do anything then how the heck do we expect things to happen for us. Haitians are lazy, they think that someday, someone will just feel sorry for them and have pitty...
well newsflash, no one is gonna feel sorry for you ever!
You complain all the time but never take action.
You have the energy, w'ap joure, pale anpil tout la sent jounen...
you can use that voice and energy and do something with it. And if no one listen, well then start yelling until someone hears you. Y'all are quitters!
And whatever happened to l'Union fait la Force?
Se nan sak pa bon seulman ou we Ayisyen gen l'union.
Depui on moun di kraze, ou we yon million moun ki prezan.
Depui yo di bati, apenn se 2, 3 kek grenn moun ap paret.
Men problem nou tande Ayisyen.
So suspan chita ap pale lot moun mal et commanse aji. Epui d'ailleurs nou pa konnen plus n'ap pale zot mal, plus afe'l ap mache?!
P.S. I know I wrote a book but I had to get it off my chest!

You guys need to stop with the rhetoric of Savannah, remember this, remember that. As we can witnessed that America strongly believe that " La reconaissance est une lachetee" .
Let's start focussing on what we can do for ourselves.
The amount of money the diaspora sends back to Haiti is far more than all the aids that Haiti get from donors who expect so much in return.
Lets fight for dual citizenship, and security so that, those with genuine intentions can go and put Haiti back on tract with employment, adequate health care and education systems.
I love Haiti, like a child who loves his/her abusive mother.
Meaning, when one is away from her one's heart breaks, one romanticizes about her, but when one is near her or with her it is close to impossible to live with her.

It is unfortunate that Haitian people are not given the opportunity to live in the land of the free as the Cubans.
What's even more of a disgrace is that all other black nationalities and including some Haitian people do not support each other.
Instead of fighting for equality alongside with the Haitian people, many of the black communities ridicule and fight against us.
If we all cooperate and stand tall together, we as a black community will not fall, fail, of be forgotten.
The truth of the matter is despite our culture whether black american, jamaican, african, etc..
the white people look at us all as one, either nigger, negro, black.
