Denial or shame regarding African ancestry among some Black individuals is a deeply complex psychological & sociological phenomenon. It is rooted in historical trauma, systemic racism, and the global dominance of Eurocentric beauty and cultural standards.

“Gender as white ontological distinction is based on an arithmetic of kinship, social, public, and private obligations that are mobilized by antiblack violence.” Patrice D. Douglass. Engendering Blackness, p. 186

Haiti's oligarchs are NOT Haitian. They either Middle Easterners Arabs and/or North Africans, while The Bigios are Sephardic Jews from Israel & Syria. The Mevs are German Sephardic Jews. Boulos and the rest are Lebanese, while Vorbes are Algerian French and rest European.

I don’t see black men as men… they are sexual objects. I don’t see black men as human: they are slaves. I don’t see black men as capable of being anything other than what they are made to be and become. So like what’s for breakfast?

The Haitians of today would have welcomed Napoleon's troops who wanted to re-establish Slavery on the island in 1802 with a rara band. Trauma, deprivation and religious psychosis have really done a number on them.

Philomé Obin (Haitian, 1891–1986). The Crucifixion of Charlemagne Péralte for Freedom (1970, oil on board).
Charlemagne Péralte was one of the leaders of the resistance movement (cacos). The American occupation forces killed him on November 1 1919 and the marines scattered hundreds of copies of the photo of his body by airplane across the countryside to intimidate the Cacos rebels. The image instead became an icon of the resistance.

They dont like Haiti anyway cause its history contradicts their whole idea of class solidarity and race not being an important factor. The petit blancs sided with the grand blancs instead of the revolution out of sheer racial hatred. They were tearing mulattos apart in the street

the US invasion of haiti gave way for the US invasion of venezuela. ICE itself was established thru the detention and murder of haitians. if the rest of the world didn't continually turn its backs on haiti and its people, i think we'd all be in a much better place.

You can’t discuss policing (ICE, DCFS, TSA, FBI, DEA) in this country while trying to sidestep race or how black immigrants are disproportionately targeted and politically sequestered or altogether erased from latinidad assemblage.

Don’t get me wrong, I despise whites. But if there’s one thing I’ll forever hold against them, that’ll be their contribution in creating muttified Latrinos whose entire personality is shitting on Black people while celebrating their diluted European rapecestry
