As a result of the indoctrination and deceptive propaganda of the U.S. media: CNN, Fox News, etc ...

- many U.S. Citizens and Haitians from the diaspora in United States think that the united States is such a big deal ...

They think they are all that.
"Doum plen pa fe bwi. Se doum vid ki fe bwi" - Haitian proverb.

The truth is ...

"The United States contributed $2.32 per American to Haiti over the last three years for which we have data (about 80 cents a year).

That's much less than other countries do, even though Haiti is in our hemisphere and has historic close ties to the U.S. For example, Canada contributed $12.13 per person to Haiti over three years, and Norway sent $8.44.
Other countries that contribute more, per capita, to Haiti than the U.S. are Luxembourg, Sweden, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Spain and Belgium.

True, there are more Americans, so collectively our aid amounts to more than one-quarter of the pot in Haiti,...

Given the per capita sums, we have no right to be bragging about our generosity in Haiti."

Oh boy! Since when did Wycliff Jean become a naturalized US-citizen? Does he want to run for president in Haiti? No! he said it himself. He has no interest running for president of Haiti. Secondly, not that it's matter that much because th > >

Haiti currently has a former factory worker as President. We all know how well this experiment is going. Now somehow we are talking about electing a rapper whose Mansion was in foreclosure in Miami and whose involvement in his charity is at best dubi > >

I am not a hater.... Actually I love Wyclef. I think that he is a brilliant musician that clearly enhanced the image of the haitian Diaspora. He is the first one to instill some kind of pride in the new generation. But I just don't see how that quali > >

Stanley Lucas is not supported by any of them. That’s what I like. He is independent and he is Haitian. Where have you been for the last ten years? You should try to read a newspaper now and then. According to the NYtimes Stanley Lucas was the po > >

What are their qualifications? Did they run any administrative office? What are their educational backgrounds? Come up with ideas to kick them out instead of saying they are bad choices for Haiti. Support your claim with evidence and details as well. > >
