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.

It is my opinion that Haiti is in needs not because she has done something wrong, but because every time she prepares one of us to take care of her, we betray her by trading our allegiance and fidelity to her for safety, comfort and riches that other countries promised.

I admire the prowess of other nations, I love Haiti.

I respect their achievements, I am crazy about Haiti.

If you freely voluntarily renounced your birth rights, then why do you care?

They are many other individuals, organizations and institutions who give to Haiti, not because they expect something in return, but for the pleasure in the act of giving.

If greedy naturalized U. S. citizens stop sending to Haiti, maybe Haitians will have another incentive to return back to their fields and to learn to count on God who is the giver of everything.

I am hoping that something good will come out of the debate on the Haitian "Diaspora obsession with Dual Citizenship".

I am hoping that Haiti will recover her lost sons and daughters.

I am hoping to find unity with my beloved brothers and sisters.

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... > >

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 citizens > >

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 > >

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 > >
