TRUMP BLABBERS LIES!
They contribute to the fabric of the nation!
They come for safety & security to raise their families.
Many of us just lived surrounded by people...never defined or targeted them, but our local PBS station offered an article:
MUST READ! EXPLAINS HAITI'S HISTORY & U.S. FOREIGN POLICY! LET'S STOP THE HATE & LIES!
— “Massachusetts' Haitian community feels the weight and history of racist lies,” by Sarah Betancourt, GBH News: “Hundreds of Haitians and their allies gathered on Boston Common Tuesday to protest the racist lies being perpetuated by presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance. … The Tuesday rally came as Massachusetts’ large Haitian population reckons with the ugly rhetoric that’s become a flashpoint in the 2024 election.”
excerpts:
“They are lies. Haitians don’t eat pets,” DesRosiers said. “In Haitian Creole, we call them animal domestik. Dogs are considered bon zanmi, which means best friend.”
Changing the conversation
The racist myths being spread by high-level Republicans are hitting especially hard in Massachusetts, which has the third-largest Haitian community in the U.S., according to the Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy Coalition, MIRA.
The individuals GBH News spoke with for this story say that deep-rooted racism and xenophobia come from a lack of education and misunderstanding about Haitian culture and history.
Haiti was the first Black-led republic in the world, where the enslaved population threw off French colonial rule in 1804.
“[We are] the very first Black people to have fought and gained our independence. So we do know that we have value,” said DesRosiers.
