Nice F-ing comment dude, i bet that person who left that comment is not even in bahamas. Ambreginny i got ur back 100%.

[ambreginny]

I would rather die or eat shit before I ever set foot in the Bahamas.

I swear to God black people on this planet are the only ones who are so divided, and Bahamians are a great example. Whites uplift and support their own in times of hardship; blacks demean, belittle and are prejudiced toward other blacks like them in contrast. United, we will all fall.

And please, go tell naive people who will believe you that you too don't have poor people and slums in your country. :)

@ambreginny They devided and ruled with iron fists and lying tongues and its still hurting Africans especially those of the diaspora even until this day. Pls don't blame bahamians, they are victims of a set of unfortunate circumstances. The way that most Bahamians respond to Haitian people is only a symptom...the cause is rooted in slavery.

@ambreginny My eyes are welling with tears as i type this because it hurts so bad to know that i'm not reciting some fairytale but rather a real life experience...that of our forefathers....

[maysharky]

@ambreginny Today, the affects of that coonila strategy is still alive in the minds of many of the poeple in my country. We were never told/taught about the haitian Revolution, Never told about the trans Atlantic Slave trade and therefore never knew that we had brothers and sisters scattered all across the caribbean or even that we had a mother country called Africa.....

[maysharky]

@ambreginny - I'm sorry you feel that way about the Bahamas and Bahamians. I am Bahamian and regrettably, i must agree with what you feel about haitian Bahamian relations. Unfortunately our ignorance was shaped by our slave masters who told us all sorts of terrible things about The Haitian people way back in the days of slavery because they feared that if we embraced you then surely you would introduce us to the concept of freedom, which they (the slave masters) could not afford to have happen.

Until Haiti spoke, no christian nation had abolished slavery.

Until Haiti spoke, no Christian nation had given to the world an organized effort to abolish slavery

Until Haiti spoke, the church was silent and the pulpit was dumb. Slave-traders lived, and slave-traders died. Frederick Douglass

Im not sure if we understand each other correctly.What Im getting at is that across the globe countries are being destoyed by (neo)colonial powers, like France, like the US.And after they've destoyed nearly all their human dignity they let the colonized work in their factories and their hotels.Now rich investors are screeming Haiti should develop tourism to get out of poverty.But who ownes and who labors?You see anyHaitians in those hotels?Haiti was rich and self subtaining once, look at it now.

Normally I am in the states, but now I am in Haiti doing some social films to change the mentality a bit. Faces of Haiti was produced back in 2004. The new Faces of Haiti2 is out and will be released on DVD soon. Don't hjave a date as yet. It is more involved and longer: 40minutes. I have added the trailer on Youtube try to see it. I wll get in touch with you once the DVD is out.

Cheers, Jacques Roc Director/Producer of Faces of Haiti and Faces of Haiti2

No one says anything when the show the great parts of a city that has plenty of awful places. But when you do it for Haiti...every one screams...be real guys, wake up and smell the coffee

@GmanZouk
