You still don't see. I am 38 years old, graduated over fifteen years ago with plenty of skills.

Yet, when I visited my country I was ignored by the people who chose to take the counsel of my unskilled "grimel" mother over me and to converse with my grimel cousins while excluding me from among them. I was ridiculed as a Rasta because I was a nappy headed dark skinned woman who claimed to be diaspora.

My simplicity and darkness earned me such a horrible experienced there and here, and I was willing to train at no cost. Let's calculate, the hours of free service I could have given my country could have been over (10years time)(2months(30 days/month)= over 600 hours of professional analytical, Reading/Writing/Mathematical, computer/Technical education.

Over these years, I've earned over half-a-million American dollars working as a professional in the United states.

We can estimate that to about $50,000 of service that Haiti could have received from one dark skinned nappy headed professional that you ignored because she was too BLACK for Haitians.

If we multiply that by all of the scholars and talented Haitians that were murdered and placed in the situation that I was, that supercedes any amount the US can offer.

You want money?

Look at how much you've wasted by trashing what you don't like?
