Kreyolgoddess,
Where have you been? Garcelle Beauvais being Haitian is old news. They've even acknowledged it on certain episodes of the Jaimie Fox show. I remember watching once, and her character "Fancy" was asked to cook up some haitian "Hot Pockets" (what we Haitians call "Pate", or in English, Haitian Beef Paties.) Garcelle has appeared at Haitian events and has, as far as I know, never denied being Haitian.
As far as Usher...that's another story. No one seems to be able to give a straight answer as to what's up with him. I've heard a rumor that other Haitian celebrties diss him on the regular because he denies his heritage. Whether that's true or not, I do not know. As afr as I'm concerned, If the boy doesn't want to be Haitian, then we shouldn't let him be?
