Rosember, I understand what you are saying, but I have to disagree with you on many things you say in this post. plase, let me just make a simple comment on this sentence:"This obsession is merely a false pretense and pretext they hold dear to hide their guilt of having not done enough for Haiti or have abandoned Haiti"
A- Many of us who left Haiti have done so for political, economical or educational.
A few left because they have stolen from the public coffers seek shelter on foreign land to escape justice.
Do you call that abandonment or a strategy for survival.
Why would I feel guilty for leaving the country to come here for a better life. Circumstances force many of us to "naturalize" for many reasons.Most of us come here young and work hard. We get married and have children etc...
Our children according to our laws are not Haitians, is that their fault to be born on foreign soil, why they can not called Haitians! where is the guilt in this situation! Would you call That abandonment?
You say you are half Jew and half Dominican, born in Haiti, but do you know that at the age of 21 you must choose your nationality according to our laws?
The Dominican do not consider any child of Haitian ancestry as Dominican and most of the time the get deported along the illegal workers!.
because they are not Dominican.
According to our laws they are not Haitian either! is that right?
What if USA do the same thing?
Wat would happen to our children here?
The 6 millions Jews slaughtered by Hitler were born in Europe, they did not come from Israel!
The old Creole proverb stated beautifully:"the offspring of a tiger is a tiger", why the children of Haitians parents are not Haitians?
tell me!
American born overseas are all Americans, Ex: John McCain, born in Panama.
My children are born here in America.
I have property in Haiti, yet they can not inherit my properties b/c they are not Haitians, they can not own property there, So all my efforts to buy and built in haiti are in vain unless i sold everything and share the proceed with my kids, Yet their father are Haitian! what a shame?
I am 100% Haitian, born raised, educated in Haiti, carried away by the winds of misery, poverty and violently touched the American shores, where is the guilt! So we should all perish over there! and if we go anywhere to live like a human being we are guilty! That is absurd, and at the same time immoral.
while I am writing this I'm getting upset because what you wrote is very offensive.
Maybe you did not weight your word, you did not mean to cause harm, you wanted to make a point and I give you the benefit of the doubt! But you have to clarify this statement.
The topic is: Correction for my last post.
