Every Haitian?!?! All 11.7 million peeps of Haiti are blaming others for their problems?
I know about 25 Haitians personally. None of them blame anyone else but their own fucked up govt. So that reduces the amount playing the blame game to 11,699,975.
And the world is sick of them? All 8.07 billion? Wow, I didn't know that and here I thought I was part of the world.
Now, do they need a revolution? Obviously. And it will be bloody.
It really doesn’t matter how many you know personally.
Here’s a good litmus test. One question will show you the depths of the culturally embedded delusions.
Ask them when their ancestors arrived on Hispaniola? They will surely say 1492. By them telling history in that manner it does a series of things.
1. It erases Dominicans altogether.
2. It states Dominicans are just an extension of Haitians.
3. It states Haitians are the descendants of the original inhabitants.
4. It states Dominican Republic is an illegitimate state on their ancestral land.
I repeat it doesn’t matter the education levels either. From the PhD student to the basket on head women with a trail of kids behind her selling water in the intersections, this is manner in which they are taught history.
Somehow Spanish ships arriving on Hispaniola in 1492, are the ancestors of a French based speaking Creole people named Marie Jean Baptiste and Michelle La Poitier. The worst part about it is I don’t even think they fully understand where the French even come into play or how that happened to be.
For reference this would be like me as an American stating “America begins when the Spanish founded Puerto Rico”. Contextually that would be bizarre and inaccurate but that’s the manner they understand history. I would obviously answer Jamestown 1607.
So again your anecdotal evidence doesn’t hold up here. It’s actually dangerous because you guys don’t fully understand them. They may blame their government but best believe under the surface they believe the more prosperous nation to the right is in collusion.
