I am with l'amour, if the topis is so dumb then why are you people still responding to it.  You chose to read this topic, no one is forcing you. 

I dont know where you ladies have been looking for your men but most of the haitian guys that ive met have been been gorgeous... try da gym... maybe its not them thats ugly its just that ur too ugly to get a cute one... if you really wanna meet one.. write back on the message board.. ill hook u up

Haitian Prynses

Being a chick that has recently decided to never date black americans again I must say like all cultures, not all haitian men are ugly.  Some of the men you chicks run into who are fine are sometimes haitian.  There are a lot of ugly jamaicans but I don't hear you all sayin' nothin'.  That's what's wrong with you haitians, y'all always puttin' down the culture as a whole and when all these other cultures (especially black americans) say some ignorant comment about us y'all wanna get mad.  Its obvious they say their comments because you people tolerate it and praise it.

First of all, I don't know why you are all on L'amour's case.  She can say whatever she wants to say.  If it bother's you all so much, then don't respond to it. It's not that serious. to the guest who said they were discussing stereotype's in their class, Shut up! I cannot believe you said L'amour is ugly and probably will turn a lesbian. Then Haitian Prynses says "ur too ugly to get a cute one."  I would like to see what you look like, I guarentee you L'amour looks better!  All of you who are dissing L'amour needs learn how to respond to comments without getting into the person's private life.  there is no need for you all to be attacking her.  To me, from reading some of these responses, some of you sound very ignorant to me.

Stephanie, I understand where you're coming from. But L'amour should have known that her statement would invoke such emotional burst. It's hard to not take it personal.

There're so many bad stereotypes out there that it has become too sensitive to even mention a few things without getting that kind of over-reaction.

But I do agree with you. There're still more constructive ways to approach this without the personal stabbings here and there.

L'amour, what has prompted you to make such a comment? Is it past experiences? Personal observations of ALL Haitian guys you've met? Of all those who have approached you so far? I'm pretty sure you have a valid basis for your statement, whether right or wrong, but we all should know it.

There may be many of us who think the same way as L'amour but just don't have the guts to say it. The fact that she said it should be construed as an opportunity to cure a social disease that goes deeper than just the scratch of that one sentence L'amour wrote.

So help us L'amour so we can help you and ourselves. What was your reason for saying it?
