Toulimen great post, however I disagree with your saying that Modern France is not responsible for Haiti's poverty.

The fact is She is and so is the United States.

And I think it is naive, very naive to think that France, the US and the International community have Haiti's best interests in mind.

And I'm not saying this so we can have a pity party or some sort of blaming game, I think it's important that we recognize history for what it is.

Their foreign policy for Haiti has always been to punish her for her defiance and it hasn't changed.

When they sign those so-called aid packages that money simply changes hands it comes right back to them (France, US).

Now while I admit that France and the US are responsible for Haiti's misery I also think that we Haitians are also responsible, certainly Haitians are even more responsible.

In a way, Haitians patterned up with foreigners to destroy the country.

I'm a young Haitian so young that I never knew Baby Doc and I've devoted myself to studying Haitian history to understand why we are where we are. My conclusion is that the failure of Haiti is the result of both Haitians and the International community.

But I think Haitians deserves most of the blame.

It is really sarcastic that you posted your comment under the title the Forgotten Black Bourgeoisie, it's been a hot topic with everybody commenting in favor of this black bourgeoisie.

For the life of me i cannot understand "this black bourgeoisie" everybody seems to be praising.

In my book a bourgeoisie is supposed to contribute to the advancement of their country.

The Haitian bourgeoisie has not done that. We should call them for what they are, a bunch of ignorant, selfish, unpatriotic, bourgie-wannabe, poor people with shoes.

Toulimen I agree with everything else you said about the language issue and education.

I'm going to school and I plan on helping Haiti in terms of education and my vision is virtually identical to yours.

I'm not gonna give too much details because I'm not trying to be assassinated when i travel to Haiti; martyrdom is not for me. Besides you can't much done when you're dead. In the Haitian diaspora there's an incredible number of young Haitians in college and many more who are graduate professionals and we are Haiti's last hope, It's not France, the US or the international community.

We are.

The topic is: THE FORGOTTEN BLACK BOURGEOISIE

You are a KKK biracial person raised by a KKK Father. You are a shameful son of America and I instruct all Haitians not dialog with you on this blog. If can say all Haitians are ignorant with no exception at all. You don't deserve the rights to blog > >

Thank you so much Middy. Can you please brief me about how this guy named Ablerooster jumps into our blog to treat us ignorant and inferior people? Where is Tiba? Tiba, we should get this guy down from his piedestal? I am trying to get his initial po > >

Hey Toulimen, I am glad you are in a much better disposition than the last time you were on the blog. Ablerooster could have a personality disorder. He can appear reasonably knowledgeable in one posting and totally belligerent in the next. In all > >

Thanks Middy! You know I think a lot before jumping on his last post to say something. I don't think he means that all of us are ignorant. We cannot deny that ignorance plays a large part in our culture due to the fact our educational system refuses > >

Marge, I have no Indian in me; if i did, I would say so. I have yet to say that all of any culture or race, etc. are ignorant, but I do respond strongly to attacks rendered upon me by others. As i have twice been asked, I have tried to open another t > >

Marge, why does your tolerance of my views change depending on what race or nationality I am? What if I said to you, "I was beginning to tolerate you when I thought you were Anglo?" It is true: 1/8 of my blood came to America circa 1880. They came > >

Can you believe that I was asked at the Haitian airport to share my company IP with them and I said no. They left me alone. We will be followwed everywhere we go in Haiti and we may get killed for no reason. How can we tolerate a bourgeoisie that kee > >

You konow Rooster, one tthing I have learned in the American culture is this: "People make mistake all the time and once they apologize to any offended people, they should accept the apology and move on." Isn't that great? In addition, it takes co > >
