Linda,

Nice to see you again.

I thought you had left us forever out of frustration and disgust, but you're still here and I'm gratful for that.

Linda, I am somewhat appalled by some Haitians calling for the abolition of the Creole, or to revamp it, or to replace it with English, because according to many, Creole language is the cause for all Haiti's problems.

And frankly, I have a terrible time swollowing this caca mimi bull crap charge.

I do understand, however, many of these Haitians are ashamed speaking Creole and being Haitians.

How could one abolish or revamp a country's native language?

Though I would agree if the government would mandate Creole to be the spoken language in all levels of the society, but keep everything else secondary, and all foreigners must learn and speak Creole.

Do people have the privilege to pick and chose what language should be their native language?

This is the most moronic, idiotic thing that I've ever heard and these are the all the people who claim to have Ph.Ds.

I think Haitans would be surprised to see the progress Haiti would make in a very short time only if they would get involved.

The first think I would call for to shake up these moronic bastards who are in charge in Haiti, is to boycot the Haitian's economy for at least 2 months, but they would not do it because that's how weak and phony Haitians are.

I have 2 suggestions/proposions to begin with and they are:

1) I am calling on Haitians around the world NOT to travel to Haiti under any circumstances for 2 months.

or

2) I am calling on Haitians around the world NOT to send/transfer any money to their families in Haiti under any circumstances for 2 months.

We would make it clear to the Haitian government and to those living in Haiti the reasons for the boycot.

But like I said, Haitians do not have the stomach for any type of boycoting whatsoever.

The government and the Haitians people in Haiti would do something, but now they don't have to do anything.

And why should they when we, the diaspora, are taking care of them.

The topic is: Haitians do not speak french
This is a reply to Msg 12223

I am somehow puzzled by your sense of denial and your self destructive behavior in attacking facts and statistics. I feel obliged to apolozige to some individuals like Mr Lavaud who can back up a little bit and realized the reality of things. Mr > >

Lavaud You said "I have never meant to hurt you by calling you Tiba the Icon." CORRECTION: I never said that I was hurt, insulted dihumanized by it or anything like that. Since Haitian have a clever way to insult others, I just wanted to make > >

Tiba, the Cape Verdi islands also have a Creole that is very similar to ours. It's kind of strange because they were colonize by the Portuguese. Like Haiti they have two languages that are both spoken fluently, Portuguese and Creole. However, unlike > >

No, Tiba, I didn't leave. I just had some deadlines to deal with. And since the blog was polluted with very low caliber people with nothing much to say, I took a blog brake. I understand that Creole is a fundamental part of Haitian culture. Howeve > >

Linda, I say Amen e Insiswatil to that? Speaking Creole in all and every level of the Haitian society must be made mandatory by the government, and even the "Most Repugnant Elite (MRE)" will have to speak the same language that everybody is sp > >

You are certainly right that Creole is not the cause of Haiti's problems. But encouraging the learning of English as a second language is positive strategy. English is not just the language of business, science, technology, engineering and most of th > >

Once upon a time it was Latin or maybe Greek, then it became French, now it is English, and in about a century no one knows. I have no affinity for either one of those languages because the tongue of my freedom is Haitian Creole. Pale kreyol Kole > >

Saul Do you realize none of these countries you mentioned on the list speak English as their second official language except the Americans for whom English is their native language? First of all, is there a place on the planet where English is > >

Saul, there is absolutely no reason to add another issue to an already complicated problem. We already have major issues with two languages; adding one more will just make the matter worst. Furthermore, the international exchange and diplomatic langu > >
