Oh yes Flambert, we can NOT be anti-dark skin. At this point in history, it's not a choice. It's a duty.

I just want to shed light on the fact that we can not be this tough on those of us who do not feel that the larger base of their black haitianhood is African. Because, a good chunk of us -particularly those participating on this website forums- have stronger racial origins in Canada, America, Europe, the White world.

All I'm asking is for Haitians to promote what most of us are about; of strong African descent (I agree with you Flambert) but at the same time be wise and very lenient towards those of us who just don't fall into the category of the majority.

Ironically enough (and maybe that's a social and historical issue), it seems that nowadays, "les sangs-mêlés de l'extérieur", the not-so-African-Haitians by birth and by function are exactly those who seem the most conscious and willing to lift Haiti's image.

We need to be very careful through positive learning and mutual respect not to bite the feeding hand (pou nou pa mòde dwèt k ap ba nou manje) hypothetically speaking.

I agree guest, too much emphasis on skin color. It's hard to be colorblind with our eyes, but it's an easier task to do it with our intelligence.

That's enough said on skin color. TO BLEACH OR NOT TO BLEACH ... that is NOT the question!

Let's move to another forum or create a new one.

Guest;  Reality Check...Cuba was never behind us at any time in its history.   Also this is not a Haitian issue...this is a black issue.  Furthermore we are not talking about pride in our African heritage, we are talking about acceptance of physical features.  Yes the mulatto may express pride in his part African past, but does he/she wants to look African...that is another story.

I read the whole thing but the man who started the forum Chemin Flambert feel like everybody have to agree with everything he said.  In one word since he's in college do not question him, he knows better even when he make statement that could hurt others.

The Kreyolbro only answer MEN that he make him feel intelligent and the post that soundmore intelligent than him ( ie: TiBob).  As a woman i'm telling you whether your child has curly lock or nappy hair you should be able to love this child, the kid is your blood.  Maybe you feel guilty. it's seems like you preach against mulatto looking people, and now you have one it's okay, You're no perfect, you TOO can make a mistake.

I don't have anything against anyone of you, but in reality no one is pefect, you guys have a way to belittle other on the site throughout your posting.  nother thing i realise the ONLY women that Kreyolbro acknowlege on the site ae the one that talk nonsense about man and sex.  if they have something constructive to say, i don't think Mr. Bro is comfortable with that, i wonde why.
