Brother your name is playahaitian, not playablack. Why is it acceptable for you to recognize your roots but its divisive when ADOS does it? Do you tell Haitian Americans to stop considering themselves to be Haitian and view themselves strictly as black americans? We love and respect all of the cultures and tribes of the diaspora, we just need them to respect ours and its current justice movement.
Ummmm...
Playahaitian is a play on playa hater.
And Wyclef kinda gave it to me.
I big up Haitian cause when i was coming up? Haitians Jamaicans etc would get teased and jumped not by whites
It was something we were made to be ashamed of.
By American blacks.
We were hated by our own.
Funny thing? I had WHITE kids get mad when i was in grade school when i say I'm Haitian. And say i was born in the US i was American!
But THEY rocking Italian t shirts and flags to school
They parents having meetings telling my parents i aint welcome a few hours later.
And it aint unique. WE Blacks do it all the time.
Light skin v dark skin
African v American v any where else
East v west
Southern v northern
City v country
Educated v "uneducated"
Urban v suburban
I don't really care what you want to label youself. Or roots you wanna claim
But YOUR roots MY roots OUR roots are all African Jamaican Haitian etc etc etc
This all funny to me...
Cause the ones in POWER? who oppressing killing raping shooting disenfranchising us?
All they see is a bunch of ******* complaining and begging.
White folk claim irish, Italian etc EXTRA HARD.
But unite against us very easily. Funny how that works out huh?
All I'm saying is united we stronger.
But then again maybe I'm wrong?
Cause nobody in my circle talks or thinks like you on this...
We all in this together, BLACK, cause we all we got.
again i dont really understand ADOS fully.
So i hate coming from a place of ignorance on a topic.
I'm just against further unnecessary division
I am NOT telling you who or what you are
That is your decision
I got no issues.
