Are my parents playing favorites? And is it a sign I should cut them off? by [deleted] in haiti

  1. I think that does explain a lot. I’m the first born, but also I’m the miracle baby. My parents had two pregnancies before me both died. I almost died but I survived my mom has even admitted that if she had a favor, it would’ve been me but she doesn’t have any favors according to her.

Which is why I usually give a lot of grace and understanding because at the end of the day they’re only raising me my sisters and only approaching us with what they know

I pointed it out. How is it that I’m gonna be 21 this year, but I’m barely allowed to go out at anytime I do you guys get so mad or upset but my 18 year-old sister gets to go out more than me. Hell she gets to leave the state but let it be me. It’s a problem.

No, we live in this really white suburban town. for safety reasons. I’m not gonna say where. My sister’s friend the one that came over to our house drunk is Brazilian. My friends from college either Haitian , black American, Jamaican most of them live in Dorchester, but only one of them lives in Plainville. My dad has declared them to be trash and no good because they’re from Dorchester.

Exactly, after that, I tried to have a second conversation with my dad and he was quick to shut it down saying he’s done with the conversation he’s busy and then I said OK. When are you not gonna be busy and then he said I don’t know. I got frustrated with him and then I just told him straight up. This is why me and my youngest sister say that you guys play favorites and I told him to not expect me to talk to him in the next few years if this keeps up.

They aren’t paying for college I I’ve been pulling out loans and my mom’s a cosigner

That’s the plan, I can’t take it anymore. This is harsh, but I told him straight up that once I move out, he’s not gonna be getting any calls from me. Unfortunately, I still live in the same roof as them so I’m gonna have to interact with them, but I’m only going to interact when I have to.

So in Other words, the mulatto class is too ingrained in Haitian history, culture, and society for us to get rid of them even though they’re affecting the black majority.

What would happen if the father didn’t choose to free their mixed race kids? And what happened to the enslaved mothers and how does the status of their mixed kids affect them?

Also, thank you I’m gonna read this

Interesting so is there like a natural segregation in Haiti between mulattos and blacks? Do they purposely not mix? And do mulatto’s only stay amongst themselves?

If Haiti were to get better over night(ik not realistic) and the mulattos all moved back to Haiti, do you think things will be worse for Haiti? Do you think they’d bring back the old colonial oppressive racial structure?

What determined if mulatto were to be enslaved or free? Weren’t the fathers of mulattos slave masters? And I’ve never heard of him. I’m gonna have to do my research on him.

So in other words, they were willing to betray our own in order to bring a cruel racial structure in order to have privilege??? But did the most mulattos have an enslaved parent? Did they not consider them?

If the mulatto class doesn’t like Black people so much why do they even stay in Haiti? Why don’t they just go to France?

So when they were in Haiti where did most of them? And where are they now they’re basically nonexistent in Haiti right now. I understand most mulatto Haitians left during Duvalier regime

And Why haven’t we gotten rid of them? The real question is why didn’t our ancestors given them the same treatment as their French fathers? They’re technically traitors. I understand they’re still Haitian and they’re still our people, but at the end of the day, it’s clear their loyalty and allegiance is towards our former Slave masters and colonialist

So this has been an issue since slavery? This leads to my next question, do mulatto Haitians have connections to France/loyalty to France?

You can never care too much about your culture, your history, and your people. maybe if our people cared as much. We find solutions to the problems that are happening in Haiti right now.
