LOL, Did you really have to go as far as to put your graduation robe behind the door directly in the cameras view to let it be know that you have some type of education ??? You're taking it a bit too far. Put forth that same concentration and effort towards something more meaningful for your people. Yes, it was a tasteless joke said in poor taste but, that's exactly what it was a "joke" Far more worst things have been said by public figures in higher positions.

@DrOcKa21 ACTUALLY, That's not my graduation robe behind the door, but my CHOIR robe, as I sing in the choir at my church. Thank you very much, & God bless you.

[TheMzDiimples]

@mytube445 Thank you,

[TheMzDiimples]

@citibank Thank you for taking the 6 minutes and 47 seconds of your time to watch this video; I truly appreciate it. It's unfortuate that you found it to be a waste of your time. I actually didn't consider this video to be a waste of my time (although my other 63 videos are questionable). I have neither set out to be malicious, nor to pass judgement on a man.

*thumbs up for the video* a lot of people don't understand that the stigma with Haitians and HIV wasn't just a medial or political one. Haitian people had trouble getting jobs, finding places to live, and even forming non-Haitian relationships (friendships or otherwise) because of this stigma. Imagine an entire people being ostracized over a lie and you realize why this was such an ignorant statment for him to make. And here we were hoping that things like this were all over...

[DayInLifeTV]

@nolaz21 anyway if you want to see my opinion on this, i made a response video with different points. i dont bash. i look at things from the inside and outside.

[DayInLifeTV]

@nolaz21 you cant even compare the Chilean mishaps with Haiti's... if he said the same thing about Dominicans or another nation, it probably wouldnt be a topic of discussion right now... you're right about that.... but you dont know the mentality behind that. for almost 30 years here in the USA, Haitians have been known for NOTHING positive. only negative... from the troubles on the island alone, to wrongfully being stigmatized & singled out for aids. when something like that is said, it hurts.

[nolaz21]

who give a fuck it was a joke. To be honest I was laughing I thought that shit was funny. These things are not meant to be personal or taken to the heart......I cant believe people were calling in for this shit wtf are u serious. IT WAS A JOKE> HE SHOW LOVE TO ALL... if he said the same shit about Dominicans they would not take the shit so personal or even Chile for example since they been through the mishaps as Haiti 

[moneyteck]

@Stalin1983 oh are you one of those stupidos that cannot understand communication words unless there are written in basic ABC forms? dummy grammar for what? i wasnt writin a paper i was making a statement with limited amount words allowed...how many dummies you think lives on the island who are just like you? idiots like you who cant seems to understand the core of the problem is the enemy along with those you named except for the lady who did the video...10million people lives in haiti.. HIV%?

[shellange26]

@Stalin1983

FUCK YOURSELF

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HAITIAN HISTORY ?

IF YOU DID YOU SHOULD RESPECT US DUMB SHIT

[shellange26]

@DrOcKa21

GO FUCK YOURSELF

[Stalin1983]

@moneyteck obviously, your uneducated about your own nation. I've done research on my people, I've lived in the island for years and you don't know anything about Haiti other than Kompa lol. HIV is destroying my people but ignorance like the one you display has destroyed the nation. How about you take a Basic English course to improve your grammar. I'm not your enemy, the American government is your enemy. The women doing this video is your enemy and the oligarchy that runs Haiti is your enemy.

[moneyteck]

@haitianshow OH LORD GET REAL WITH UR NONSENSE...

[moneyteck]
