See! We are not on the same page.

Haitians are poor. But, in their poverty, they value their dignity.

Your view is like money can buy anything.

Correct me if I am wrong, it is like you telling me that the Haitian Diaspora can buy "dual citizenship" regardless of what the Haitians think.

That's only in your mind and in your world.

When you step into another world that is different than yours, you must consider that your values are not their values and that they are different from yours.

If there is bad then, there is good. If there are bad and good, then they are moral laws that define the difference.

Therefore, the moral laws must transcend from a moral laws giver.

Respect, honor, justice, dignity do not depend of what you or me or others think.

They are what they are. They transcend time, places and space.

When a man goes to a prostitute there is a pre-arrangement between the two that they will exchange sexual favors for money.

Was there a pre-arrangement or agreement between the Haitian Diasporas and Haiti that they will exchange money for dual citizenship?

Forgive me if I chose the wrong example to illustrate my point which is the Haitian Diasporas can legitimately petition for dual citizenship, but doing through coercion and menaces is totally disrespectful and make any Haitian citizen to question their motives.

As the matter of fact doing it this way is nothing else than a disgraceful act of rape.

Are they blind by their obsession?

That's why I say that in such case, the US embassy will not be able to protect them.

The topic is: Correction for my last post.

There's a couple of words that caught my attention in your post: respect and honor are just a few of them. With all due respect I don't think you fully understand the meaning of respect and honor. You said, I'm paraphrasing, that the dual citizenship > >

I perceive you as a well educated Haitian-born person who loves Haiti. Let’s agree to put all the drama aside but I will deceive myself if I have to put all my emotions away because as Henry Louis Gates Jr explained it there are unusual men like... > >

I do not know and never receive any evidence that President Rene Preval is a naturalized foreign citizen. But, if he is, we voted him in good faith. If it is and your opinion about him was correct, then you just prove to yourself that Haitians > >

Linda, I am exploring and hope for a reconciled solution to the problem of our beloved brothers and sisters who had freely renounced all allegiance and fidelity to Haiti. We will find the solution through mutual respect, honesty and compassion. > >

I respectfully disagree with you. I read most of your blogs on this topic. You seem very passionate about your views. In my opinion your views are misguided. You have not given a clear reason why dual citizenship should be denied to Haitian Americans > >

Thomas, when I debate a point, I try to stick to the facts. I tend to list these facts so that they are clear. Because I stick to the facts, I am able to express myself by making short statements that go right to the point. I notice that you can't do > >
