I just called the Haitian embassy in D. C. regarding the Dominican Republic incident.

The woman that I talked to wanted me to call the Haitian embassy in the Dominican Republic because they have nothing to do with it. While I was telling her this is a Haitian concern, she hung up on my face.

I then called the Haitian consulate in New York. I was put on hold 3 times and finally got the consul who demanded that I speak Creole or French, but if I decided to speak English that I must be very clair and speak very good English.

The consul himself can barely speak English.

He was repeating every word I said as if he was correcting me. Anyway, I explained to him the reason for my call. As I was telling him about the way Haitian citizens have been treated by his government, and I was giving him examples of mistreatments Haitian diaspora get when arrive to Haitian customs, he told me that I was lying and hung up on my face.

This is the kind of people we've elected to represent us. We get what we deserve..

The incident that happened in the Dominican Republic was shocking but not to many people are telling the whole story. I was listening to Radio Metropole and the story is that the haitian killed his boss during an argument about money that his boss ow > >

Well Mr Philippe YOU ARE WRONG I find it pity--full that you are trying to defend a mob execution where a citizen has been executed in a public place with tens of yellow trashes cheering, filming and applauding. If the haitian has out of anger, disc > >

I never implied that the individual who was killed got what he deserved. I'm not the type who believe in an eye for an eye. And i'm definitely not defending any dominican. Violence is never justified. I regret if my comment came off as suggesting tha > >

Well Mr Philippe, I might have come down too hard on you and if I intricate from your post the sense that you were justifying the barbaric killing of a fellow citizen is because you again you say an eye for an eye. Philippe I have not been to Domin > >

Philippe - You seem to be a new member of this joint, if so, welcome! I agree heartedly agree with your assertion of the incident that happened in the Dominican Republic. However, I am disgusted with the way in which the Dominicans took their rev > >

Brother I'm glad that we finally understand each other. However i have to clarify that I DO NOT believe in an eye for an eye and i DO NOT support the death penalty. If a person is guilty of a crime i believe he should go to prison, not killed. My fr > >

Why you dont mention the Dominican that was killed? Dont let you drag for all the hate and the anger. Not all the dominicans are like that dominican animal who killed the haitian as revenge (that was not a saint). How many cases like these happe > >

I understand your anger, we should all be angry about the way haitians are being treated. But we must be smart and cool in the way we react. We have to speak and act agaisnt the discrimination and the abuse haitians face over there; but I don't think > >
