nazaire, I totally agree with you on this. "just boycotting negativity does not equal change". We indeed need positivity to counter-offend all the negativity against us.
This is a marvelous message you're sending and I hope the post-ers here show they get it not only by posting mindful comments but by actually DOING the support for our positivity.
Just like we were raised ... MOST Haitian parents usually discourage negativity from the children (don't do this, don't say that, don't go there, don't talk to ...) where they would even beat them to eliminate a bad bahavior (below-average grades in school for instance). However, they seldom reinforce good behavior (and I need not give examples).
I'm afraid we're letting this unbalanced method slip into our very fighting culture.
