Life for the World: The Heart of Downtown Port Au Prince, Haiti

[lifefortheworld]

Umm.....Do you have love in your heart hebrewmatrix or just distant judgement?

[hebrewmatrix]

These haitians are brainwashed and oppressed to fail

[tiraccoon75]

misyé ,la voiri ni on lo travay pou fè,wi.. é nou pa ka santi lodè.... si en ka desann an ba la ,en pé ké rété PAP enkò, vil la kanpagn ti bwen pli dous. awè

[Schoggodrops]

The people of Haiti can be happy that their town ist destroyed now.

I think, it will be rebuilt and then it will be much better than it was before. Because they gonna receive now as much as development help from USA and other whiteruled countries as in the time between 1915 - 1934.

That will be very good for the people there.

[sverio12345]

Yeah right. blame it on the white folks.

[Rsaint17]

@sverio12345 Yup gladly

[NyYankeesRthaBesT]

@kariryanisabitch yes this video was posted may 22nd 2008 its in the top right hand corner

[LilineSeAyisien88]

@kariryanisabitch yess b4 the quake.

[MzProgressive]

Interesting that one of the radio hymns was "Crown Him Lord of All."

We pray for the people of Haiti, asking that the relief effort will get its act together "tout suite" ~ and especially that those who may still be trapped are found soon. +

[CapitanoGUC]

looks like after the quake already ....:-D

[beswick1111]

Hello people of haiti.

During the aftermath is ther any bartering going on with gold or silver? or are US$ used mostly?

[beswick1111]

my heart goes out to the poor people of haiti, i have donated $50 to the red cross appeal, i wish i could go in person and help. haiti is on a geological fault line, so it wasent gods fault or the devils its just science and bad luck, did other cities get damaged like cap haitian? or gonaives?

[skhully]

@beswick1111 YOUR DHA BEST MAN.YHU AINT LIKE HAITIS OWN GOVERNMENT WHO NEEDS TO DO SOMETHIINq

[Makaveli06061986]

all my thoughts are with the People in Haiti. God bless You

[mastik36]

That God help u all to face this terrible disaster :-(

[tellurideskier12]

god bless earthquake victims

[nirvanafatal]

How can they drive throught that crowd of people?

[tiraccoon75]

Ki 'adio é sa ????Fouté sa en mitan lan mè la..

[beswick1111]

what would be MORE foolhardy?

walking through the most dangerous shantytownship in south africa as a white person at night and telling them your lost?

or walking through the most dangerous part of port au prince at night as a white person telling people your lost?

ok thanks

[chevytheplayer]

ok same for you, what would be more dangerous, and black man walking in the deep south during the 20s in the woods saying he is lost?

[beswick1111]

ok but u tell me your answer first and answer my Q not answer my Q with another Q ok.

[chevytheplayer]

it wasn't a question, more of an example of your hypocrisy

You probably never been in a Shantytown, nor haiti, so your comments are null and void

[lifefortheworld]

I did walekd through the most dangerous spots and was shot at mut God was with me and it took doing dangerous things to accomplish great things! We now have a school and orphanage of 150+ and feed the poor in many places and make friends with them.

[zdrastvutye]

it is only horrible if you see dead niggers in the street. i dont see a big difference to piura, peru downtown.

[zdrastvutye]

was it safe, i mean did you have bodyguards to prevent your camera being stolen? i was robbed in rio de janeiro 3 yrs ago. thats why i would not travel to rio again with an expensive wristwatch. the good thing is the music in the "arriving in pap" video

[KillerChair1]

It looks terrible whether most would like to admit that or not! It really does, my god! I mean no offense it's just how I see it. No wonder Haitians migrate by the thousands to DR, USA, BAHAMAS, CUBA, DR, TURKS & CAICOS, MEXICO, did I mention DR? Seriously, what the hell went wrong with this place? It's a complete different world from the eastern side of the island! Truly horrifying.

[persaudharriram]

it is soo congested here

[beswick1111]

i feel so sorry for these people, my god, it looks like armagedon this place, and the music, sounds like something my grandad used to play about 20years ago.

[beswick1111]

i live on the other side of the world so i really have nothin to do with this but is it true historically that once haiti gained independence it kicked out all the white people? or if not all of them they made their lives very miserable?

is this true historically?

[papsou]

they kept the well educated like teacher , doctors, nurses.

[eatingfish13]

because it really seems like an amazing place...

I know it's not that simple,, but hey... stop the madness.. I know it's bad, but killing each other only makes i worse. Really want hell? I guess nobody wants (!))

[eatingfish13]

I don't know... This is is like watching pictures from south America or something.. What the hell is wrong? You guys could have a fucking paradise there and earn a fortune on tourists (look how they do in Thailand) and stuff like that. The most sad about this video, is to see how wonderful it COULD have been.. It sometimes seems like some people are their own worst enemy. Stop that killing/violence, and I would be the first to lay my fortune there as a tourist.

[RealRatedRSuperstar]

wow wats goin on

[dfox88]

wow thats all i got to say about this video. Yet something draws me to Haiti. nevertheless, it will be few years before I step foot in port-au-prince. in fact I think that goes for every person who isn't from there.

[ptoosan]

and also white people should stop come in my beautiful country. they make the streets worst with their pale faces. Haiti is for Mulattoes and Blacks but not for these god damn arabs or whites and these arabs should stop consider themselves as haitians

[cken007]

hey if u dont have anything positive to say u should keep ur mouth shut

[beswick1111]

hello, did u survive the quake?

[biggreysfan6666]

You're hilarious.

[illj25]

People needs to understand it is over crowded like this in all center of cities (downtown)all over the world. And if the country is a 3rd world country then ofcourse it will be even worse, because everyone come to the big city to look for a better life. It's as crazy as it looks in Kingston Jamaica, Columbia, Cuba etc., I've traveled all over the Carribbean and Frankly it all look the same, u have the nice beach, nice community, then u got the slum (Ghetto). Shit this looks like Ghetto Miami lol

[izzy2006]

what was the point of this comment?.

[illj25]

If u can't see the point i was trying to make then i can't help my friend. I made my comment because of people's reaction of how crowded and crazy it looks down there. Now u got it, Punk?

[lifefortheworld]

You obviously have not been to Cite Soleil - people are hungry, very hungry.

[illj25]

Dude, I'm Haitian too, people been hungry for centuries all over the world, give me a break. Haiti has an economical problem because if any leader dare to make them pay taxes on anything they overthrown that leader. I wonder how they think the Government will have any money to do anything or to even pay its employees or create new jobs. You have to help your self in order to get out of any bad situation. They can keep giving n sending help, but nothing will change, clearly nothing has changed

[biggreysfan6666]

So "illj25", you've apparently travelled all over the Caribbean and it all looks the same? Apparently you're not very observant. The poverty in Haiti goes far, far, far beyond any other country in the Americas and the living standards for the majority is below many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Few people seem aware of just how impoverished Haiti is.

Even culturally and historically Haiti is much different to any other country in the region.

[illj25]

Have you lived in Haiti for more than 2 weeks? And did u say even culturally and historically we differ? Ofcourse dumb ass, each and every country has great differences culturally and historically. Furthermore, are you from Algeria/Africa? The pussy mother land where ya sold each other as slaves for coins, that's why we blacks are so scatered everywhere in the world, Fuck you. I don't even know why they show so much respect to Africa. Ya started this whole nightmare. Double fuck you.

[biggreysfan6666]

Oh dear. I find it sad that you cannot debate in a rational manner and resort to petty insults. Do you think I'm going to feel grossly inferior now that you've said "fuck you" to me? Come on.

"Ofcourse dumb ass, each and every country has great differences culturally and historic"

To quote an intellectual mastermind like yourself:

"I've traveled all over the Carribbean and Frankly it all look the same"

I won't even answer your misguided attack on Algerians. Thank you and have a nice life.

[tigerclawfan]

illj25, if the average Haitian is intellectually on par with you, then it's no surprise that your country is such a mess.

[ptoosan]

hey everybody I think that if all these paysans stood in their mountains and did not come to Turgeau, Bois-Verna Petion Ville to create their bidonvilles and see electricity Haiti would be fine and there won't be so much people in misery

[sWeEtSkItTlez]

I think the point of the comment is to tell ppl that not everywhere in Haiti looks like this, this is downtown where it is overcrowded

[ree9c1]

But the government in Haiti needs to stop being greedy and help the people. it is a disgrace.

Dont worry when I go in February I will invest in the people selling in the streets, just like I did one year ago. It is very beautiful in Haiti, but only if you have money.

[lifefortheworld]

Forgt the government. Ordinary people like you need to come help us in Haiti. Don;t make excuses for a bad government. Do something yourself for Haiti.

[lifefortheworld]

You are not going to stop the government. Just begin to help the poor yourself regardless of what other people do or don't do etondeye pral beni ou.

[ree9c1]

It is bad in the city , but there are nice parts. My boyfriends family has a beach house like 1 hour away. There is so much unused land ans people need to invest in cultivating crops. There is alot of money and work that could be made there. We need to help these countries, they are hard working people. But because it is a black country, our country wont help. We run to help white countries or ones that can help us profit. Makes no sense.

[lifefortheworld]

Then come help us and do something and stop talking about it. We are in La Plaine. Don't make excuses.

Mike

[kocky23]

you're right except when you say that the US doesn't help because they're black. Believe me, if anything that probably improves the number of people wanting to come help.

[Fonzi79]

i'd rather live in North Korea!

[jasetheaceukuk]

what an utter shambles the city looks... shame as the island has so much potential
