I am haitian and i am pribe to be haitian. You are talking about gehtto, haven't you visited New York subway, such as Bronx, Brooklyn, Qeens yet? to see people sleeping on boxes, and begging for .25 cents to buy coffee. The media shows you the ghetto area in haiti only without showing you the beautiful beaches, million dollars houses like windermere, and Bay hill in Orlando.

@TheJerzeyboi I have been to Haiti, I don't just look the media. Yes, there are beautiful beaches and mountains, the whole country I very beautiful. But most of the country is also incredibly poor. Its not just one small place like in NY, and there are far less opportunities for people really trying to make their life better. I have friends there that are domestic servants, orphaned, that don't know where their next meal is coming from. My other video talks about how much I love Haiti.

aidshas been diminishing in haity. n slaves are not accurate.. neither is alot. it seems someone i just sayin that we are no good because even eating clay they say is dirt pies.. this is the pride of ungodly. take money, and send troops.. as if that makes it better. even this cchurch called sauk trail baptist temple in ritchton park. shows they r all puppets.. its like help the low. instead of help the injustice..

@harvardlaw95 Your comment is completely lacking insight. Harvard? What a waste... "third world" people can only respond to a situation that has snowballed from worldwide western colonization. And your "that's just the way it is" comment makes me think you must be an awful lawyer. Every community of people, no matter the "class", has their particular "bad seeds". However, ignoring the lasting effects of colonization, government corruption, and extreme poverty is quite naive and ignorant.

Me to i proud to be haitian cause the haitian are really i from inside 17 city of site soliel and i will never give my ghetto for any country in this world cause in the ghetto you don't find no racism people and i'm haitian ghetto and iwill always one ok

[harvardlaw95]

When will anyone recognize: ants build mounds, birds build nests, and blacks create their own environments. No one else is to blame. Third world people create third world environments. That's just the way it is.

LOL haiti has slaves? Kind of like the white slaves sold to africans by alexander the great and some tribes of vikings.

People seem to have forgotten that.

[augustskies]

How about sowing some grass seed in some areas to help with whats called erosion and planting some corn squash and beans in other squares of land called a "GARDEN"

Your welcome.
