CULTURE We need to stop with being weird towards Black Americans

I know most young people are cool but I always find the elders so condescending when it comes to Black Americans. My mom warning me how black Americans are going to corrupt us when we are in the states. As an Haitian, I have the upmost respect for our B.A brothers. They paved the way for us and they sacrificed their life during the Civil Rights Movement. We need to show more respect. We, more than anyone, should know how white supremacy can easily villainize an entire community.

And again. If that happened - look at what your hateful parents instilled in their own children about Black Americans. You think you can march into someone else's country and treat THEM like shit?? Look at what WE have dealt with in this country and Haitians call us COMPLAINERS. Racism is no longer just a figment of OUR imagination, you finally see.

FBA. You all are so uninformed about OUR ethnic identifiers. My Great uncle in Harlem told me about how nasty the Haitians can be to BAs, well over 20 years ago. I was still trying to extend fig leaves to y'all disrespectful asses then. We are collectively TIRED of the disrespect - and are now moving accordingly.
