New York Times: The Awaiting of the Grand Bayakou in Haiti

Toulimen says...

The word bayakou came from one of the African tribes named Bayaka that was brought to Hispaniola by the French Colonizers.

Those people are related to the Dogon tribe in Mali and they live in Desdunes and all around that town. Bayakans are known for latrines cleaners and sorcerer priests too. They can kill you for any mistakes that you may have with them. For the New York Times to use such a title like that against Haiti is very derogatory to Haiti and all Haitians and this means that Haiti is a latrine country where all Haitians are latrines' people.

And no one says nothing and there was no protest aginst New York Times for the use of such a word to talk about Haitian politics.

If it were under Jean-Claude Duvalier they would get sued and that word would be banished from their mouth.

I posted that article on this web to see what Haitian bloggers could say and no one has said nothing meaning that all Haitians are latrine cleaners and Haiti is a latrine country.

When Haitians will stop others from discriminating them in such a manner?

Are we awaiting a Grand Bayakou as reported on a New York Times article?

Are you all Bayakous?

Toulimen, I hope you are not paying any attention to that "Petrus" person. I am pretty sure that you are smart to realize that is a person who is trying to disentangle or preventing strongly opinionated people from joining forces to help Haiti. Som > >

If New York Times can say that it is because they believe Haiti is a latrines' country where all Haitians are Bayakous. Mirelande Manigat will be the first Bayakou woman to clean all those latrines in Haiti. I am not a latrine cleaner myself. I am f > >

Toulimen, You said "This Petrus keeps voicing revolution and that is not what we are debating now and if he does not stop I will publish his info by next week." Do you know exactly what kind of "revolution" this bonehead is referring to? > >

Tiba, we can always have a social revolution occured in Haiti but not in the middle of this chaos my brother. People are living under the tents and they have no other places to go right now. I don't want to put them in the middle of this mess and it > >

There is no pride being Haitians and African Americans. May be one day, Haitians will get their pride back when they all learn and speak one language. The day they can be educated in their own language, pride and dignity will come back and lift up th > >

I don't deny any of your allegations but I am not a beggar and cannot be a beggar too. America is the obstacle to Haiti's economic development. We will revise our national curriculum and we will create a foreign language department in Haiti that wi > >
