Haiti's oligarchs are NOT Haitian. They either Middle Easterners Arabs and/or North Africans, while The Bigios are Sephardic Jews from Israel & Syria. The Mevs are German Sephardic Jews. Boulos and the rest are Lebanese, while Vorbes are Algerian French and rest European.

I don’t see black men as men… they are sexual objects. I don’t see black men as human: they are slaves. I don’t see black men as capable of being anything other than what they are made to be and become. So like what’s for breakfast?

The Haitians of today would have welcomed Napoleon's troops who wanted to re-establish Slavery on the island in 1802 with a rara band. Trauma, deprivation and religious psychosis have really done a number on them.

Philomé Obin (Haitian, 1891–1986). The Crucifixion of Charlemagne Péralte for Freedom (1970, oil on board). Charlemagne Péralte was one of the leaders of the resistance movement (cacos). The American occupation forces killed him on November 1 1919 and the marines scattered hundreds of copies of the photo of his body by airplane across the countryside to intimidate the Cacos rebels. The image instead became an icon of the resistance.

They dont like Haiti anyway cause its history contradicts their whole idea of class solidarity and race not being an important factor. The petit blancs sided with the grand blancs instead of the revolution out of sheer racial hatred. They were tearing mulattos apart in the street

the US invasion of haiti gave way for the US invasion of venezuela. ICE itself was established thru the detention and murder of haitians. if the rest of the world didn't continually turn its backs on haiti and its people, i think we'd all be in a much better place.

You can’t discuss policing (ICE, DCFS, TSA, FBI, DEA) in this country while trying to sidestep race or how black immigrants are disproportionately targeted and politically sequestered or altogether erased from latinidad assemblage.
Saying: “ICE snatches Black immigrants too” misses the point. The point is if the govt can snatch ppl & kids off the street & deny them due process, then it is guaranteed to be a threat to every last one of us in different ways if we don’t raise hell about it right now!!!!

Don’t get me wrong, I despise whites. But if there’s one thing I’ll forever hold against them, that’ll be their contribution in creating muttified Latrinos whose entire personality is shitting on Black people while celebrating their diluted European rapecestry

What’s the relation between Melanesian peoples who have historically been racialized as Black (e.g. Papuans, ni-Vanuatu) and Blackness?

Ariana Grande did blackface, used a blaccent and did a music video in a trap house then transitioned back into whiteness when it was going to be lucrative for the world to see her that way again

Kamala Harris is a narc. She infiltrated black American culture but she is not a black american much like your boy Obama. Nothing good will come from that woman but a neo liberal agenda. Y’all been warned!

She was a afro Dominican when she was running and now that she has won she is Dominicana.
The night we made history. I am so proud to be the first Dominicana elected to represent you in Congress, Uptown and The Bronx.

Haitians still live in mental chains, they will forever be slaves.
Do Haitians that are on social media praising @nayibbukele know in 1933 El Salvador implemented an immigration law, that banned black people from entering the country. The same year the Dominican Republic passed similar laws targeting Haitians?
