Lloyd, this argument about "the language of our masters", which if I remember correctly is from the author Frantz Fannon, is outdated and can no longer apply in what is now a mass communication world, where most evolved communities are part of a global society where specific languages no longer determine how we communicate.What you call the language of our masters has not been the language of anyone's masters in nearly two hundred years.

All post colonial nations speak the language that they inherited from the western nations which had colonize them; none have made it an endless issue like Haiti has. Yet they are all doing better than Haiti is today.

The French language is not our issue.

Our issue today is a leader who is spineless; does not know the concept of the word honor and dignity; has the intelligence of a swine, and has--because of his personal lack of character--turned Haiti into a beggar nation.

Language is never a real issue.

It is only a subject that is used to hide real problems.

The topic is: Go back to school and learn French!

Je suis cent pour cent d'accord avec vous Mr. Bastien; le francais reste simplement une langue, une facon de communiquer aux autres. Cela n'a rien a voir a l'intelligence etc. Comme vous l'avez deja souligne dans vos ecrits, certains Haitiens decro > >

Linda, I hope everyone here would read your post on this language issue and understand that this is nothing but a scapegoat Haitians are using not to fulfill their obligations toward their own country. You see, not only Haitians are a bunch of > >

Vous avez completement raison. Haiti est completement isolee. Le Creole Haitien est seulement parle par les Haitiens. En Martinique presque tout le monde parle le Creole Martiniquain mais neanmoins toute la Martinique parle Francais et le Francais > >

En realite, si Haiti avait un bon programme d'education, la seconde langue d'Haiti serait l'espanole a cause de la proximite de la Republique Dominicaine. Surtout au poins de vue du commerce avec les Dominicains et de l'harmonie culturelle avec eux. > >

Tiba my blogging friend, I have to again caution you with how you phrase your thoughts. I know that you don't mean to say that all Haitians are "lazy," and yet that is what you did say. I know you meant to say that many Haitians today are not taking > >
