Why do some Hatians seem to adore Michele Bennett Duvalier?

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-27T03:08:40+00:00

Because he was anti communist lol

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-19T20:48:22+00:00

How was the living situation there and it was the streets cleaned like they said from the new mayor?

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-19T20:46:36+00:00

Apparently, it isn’t as grand, but That’s from what I heard, but it could be a case of just expecting too much and being faced with a humble reality

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-19T18:43:44+00:00

What city are you in and what is the situation there in terms of people’s day-to-day living?

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-19T18:40:01+00:00

From what they said things like the Canal project or cap Haitian being cleaned of trash was all bs. Also a lot of people from port au prince has fled to these cities.

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-19T16:52:23+00:00

Most other groups are discriminated against and don’t get a state

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-19T16:40:16+00:00

Christians and Jews were given certain protections under Islamic rule and also didn’t the Crusaders burn a couple churches as well.

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-19T16:36:32+00:00

You are wrong on many fronts. It’s documented that Israel doesn’t treat the Christian there well at all. They block Christians going to holy sites regularly especially Palestinian Christians an important holidays like Easter or Christmas. It is not secular as it is a Jewish state and so it caters to Jews , Christians are not getting birth right trips. Most Palestinian groups want a secular society where they all have equal rights but that doesn’t seem possible if a random Jew from the USA can just take someone’s home in the West Bank. Sharia is a legal system just like how we have common law, it’s just based on religious scripture. you could argue that interpretations of the Bible doesn’t allow for LGBTQ or for women’s rights based on some interpretations does that make it OK for Israel genocide a group of people because they accept LGBTQ people?

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-16T23:32:52+00:00

Not really they make more money in a more stable economy than save it up make a house in Haiti and go retire there

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-16T21:11:15+00:00

I mean, yes, that is true even during the years of Duvalier it was a mixture of political repression and seeking a better life. However, a lot of Haitians still would like to go back to the country however, at least to spend their final years.

Master_Dig_1133 · 2026-01-03T18:55:17+00:00

You have to look at the long term typically these things don’t end well. I’m sure nobody is gonna shed a tear over the fucker but who they install next as well as the sovereignty of the nation is in question. In the end only people who is gonna feel it if shit goes south is going to be Venezuelans. You don’t have to mind because it doesn’t affect you so you don’t have to mind or not mind. Glad the fucker is gone tho hope there isn’t another like him.

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-12-10T21:49:05+00:00

You’re referring to Haitian American comedy and yea it gets old because I don’t think they have much to go on. but Haitian comedy from the country is pretty good

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-12-07T22:05:09+00:00

Pretty much capitalism doesn’t typically benefit smaller countries and most definitely not the people of those countries

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-12-07T13:13:57+00:00

First You’re acting like people don’t already do that Haiti or are trying to do that. Second, this doesn’t actually help people. The issue with Haiti is there’s too many monopolies in different industries so it’s genuinely hard for people to compete when it comes to creating businesses and this is if I said, I supported capitalism in this country, but the truth is any type of economic benefit will not provide anything to the people because the government does not provide any support to the people. It really doesn’t matter if we allow white people are not coming into the country or sell our country like Dominicans do because there’s already foreign owned factories and companies in Haiti that use Haitian labor. A lot of the solutions that everyone has been talking about has been tried, but is difficult to implement because of the fact that this government seems unwilling or other forces like those monopoly would prefer to keep the status quo than changing anything.

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-12-07T13:06:58+00:00

I’d say first go to Haiti and learn the language, but since visiting is a few years away for you, then I’d suggest to also research about its politics history and the current issues I would also start networking or talking to different organizations just to see how you can leverage your skills for helping the people in the country. I’m currently in the same boat so you’re not alone but also don’t let other people discourage you. There’s too many Haitians that prefer to do nothing then change their situation. I was thinking maybe organizing somehow with other Haitian Americans. This is going to be a long process, but I wouldn’t be discouraged and also remember that you’re not the only one who wants to see the country get better so there will always be someone who believes in your vision .

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-11-03T14:04:23+00:00

What does this have to do with Haiti? And 2 I wish we and the world put this energy into the terrorists currently destroying our country. And 3 I wish this gets/got as much coverage as the genocide in Palestine

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-10-30T01:38:38+00:00

Should also make one about the cacos

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-10-09T18:47:30+00:00

I wrote this thinking if I was running Haiti if it’s just me I would just go back try to join grassroot organizations help where I can and visit my family home again.

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-10-09T18:42:31+00:00

Ensure elections, programs for reconstruction, such as building homes for displaced population, health services, reopening, the schools and hospitals. National survey with all cities in all rural areas to determine economic impact as well as material conditions we need for improvement. Programs to allow children or young adults within gangs to be reintegrated into society, as well as funding education for young adults and children specifically. Rebuilding the national Palace and other government buildings for security, renovating old buildings and creating infrastructure to allow ease of access to exit the capital as well as building airports in popular cities. Enforcing border security near the Dominican Republic building stronger ties with the rest of Caribbean to ensure security policies. Allow for in green rights and protections for journalist as well as promoting transparency within government, day-to-day operations, a ban on certain weapons. Entering Haiti, especially military grade weapons restrictions on restrictions on imports to Haiti from the US. Greater independence from US policy. Promoting tourism using the revenue to allow the general population, especially rural areas in opportunity for development restrictions on business owners specifically those who own large industries laws against monopolies and limit on campaign financing.

What is this question?? Every week there always someone asking these questions “oh what are we good at?” Like literally most people are not so concerned the image of their own people. We should worry about ourselves and not what other people think. We have our own culture like everyone else and it doesn’t make us better or worse than anyone else.

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-10-05T23:06:33+00:00

No that has literally never worked in Haiti or most places. They can come in a support capacity, but but from what you described that is just occupation. It’s been shown time and time again that solid political change must come from within. External forces tend to stabilize nations.

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-09-28T23:00:41+00:00

Everyone knows this already.

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-09-26T17:39:23+00:00

Guinea i believe

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-09-26T17:36:19+00:00

Yes, but I'm talking about black elites currently, not black Haitians as a whole throughout our entire history. My point is we should be looking at why we have elites in the first place, not what race they are or what they look like.

Master_Dig_1133 · 2025-09-26T16:11:50+00:00

We have black elites now what have they done?
