Haitian father goes insane after his son comes home with braided hair - page 5

Because they try to separate themselves from black Americans.

I’ve had countless friends from the Caribbean tell me how their parents told them to stay away from black Americans.

As someone who is haitian and also worked in schools, I absolutely see why.

As someone who grew up in Brooklyn and see the majority of gang members in this borough are Caribbean immigrants I don’t see why.

And you as a Haitian my folks in Miami don’t get it either as they say your people are the wildest down there.

So yeah I don’t get it.

Are you that ret@rded to think that black people from other nations weren’t braiding their hair before coming to the US? Can’t be serious lmao

@14 secs , tells his wife "he's a f@ggot" and tries to drag em out the house

How you think they became gang members lmao you think they touched down said I'm turning crip? Smh. It's the need to fit in. You see a whole change in everything, clothes, how they talk etc. The furthest they can get from their haitian roots, the better it is for them to assimilate and not get bullied. Im a brooklyn haitian but I was born here. Back home, kids would kill to go to school, the same zeal is in them when they get up here too but its a lot of bullsh1t that can sway them. Some stay strong and go hard while others felt liberated by doing things that they can never get away with back and take it too far. I don't think they should stay away from other African American kids but I understand why parents are shakey about their kids being influenced by our ways of doing things. We're spoiled in a sense and that can soften up kids that come from extreme poverty

Yeah man I mean if only he would've came home white

I'm screening black is beautiful all day fu#k your European beauty standards and sensitivities nothing wrong with his hair b

I think you tryna wakanda talk Haiti and I’ve been there a few times. Beautiful country and culture. But we not going to pretend that county isn’t riddled with violent gangs and I had to break all kinds of travel advisories going into towns because of how they will kidnap Americans. So no don’t sit here and blame them joining gangs as if it’s so foreign to the people there, some criminals there come right on over here…. Because black Americans welcome other people in our culture here and don’t say stay away from our fellow black brothers when we could point out the degenerate things in y’all culture, crime, gangs, murder, backwards religious worship and voodoo etc.

I think at times people forget they literally couldn’t come here before black Americans fought for their rights to immigrate here.

Lol running through this thread reading all these rules in Haitain households that must be maintained in order to have a good career or whatever.

I can't name one successful Haitain person other than Kodak.

Where do all these rules get their people?

Politicians?
Businessmen?
Doctors?
Lawyer?
Entrepreneurs?
Music/Movie Execs?

What is all this structure and rules leading to exactly?

So because you don’t know them? It means something

wtf type of dumb sh1t are you on? Lmao.

Going off music alone. Rich the Kid is Haitian, Vince Staples is Haitian, Maxwell is Haitian, Wyclef obviously.

Then you have the former CEO of Nintendo USA being Haitian, Basquiat being Haitian, etc. point is just because you don’t know doesn’t mean there aren’t successful people out there. Dumbest thing ever. Fame=/=success. Tons of successful people on this forum earning honest living and you’ll never know who they are because you don’t have to make a million bucks to be successful. And the point of those rules? It takes a LOT of work for people to get to America. So when they do, the parents don’t want the opportunity squandered by the kids screwing around. So strict household so the kids grow up to earn an honest living, aren’t getting in trouble with the law, etc. does it always work? No, but the logic is very simple

I'm successful

Software Engineer here

Never my guy but not all people who come were living that life back home. Some were sent up here because they were bugging but most were sent up so they could avoid all that sh1t. Why else would you send your son to live with a family friend, aunt, older cousin? For sh1ts and giggles? It's obvious for them to make a better life. Alot of aspects that we have can give him the illusion that you won't struggle up here as well. sh1t happens. But to act like they just up here to cause trouble is misguided. I never said it was right for parents to be shakey but I understand why they would be.

I wonder if he would've reacted the same if his son had relaxed his hair instead.

Well they would be sent up here because it’s a come up and they can live a better life here then at home due to all the fighting white supremacy and sacrifices my ancestors made here. Before that fighting it wouldn’t make sense to come here under Jim Crow, (beside the fact the immigration laws were limiting black people coming here).

I can’t understand why they would feel that way because then I could justify saying the same about Haitians to my children by pointing out all the crime, deprivation in your homeland as well the people who came here and brought criminal gangs like the Haitians in Miami. But black Americans don’t ever say stay away and far to many other black immigrants have this sentiment.

I’m Haitian and shucked all the values. Barely can even speak creole. Me and the fam see each other only on holidays

Exactly, I’m an enterprise sales rep. Im successful in eyes of many as well. So I’m confused what dude’s point was. And even regardless, it’s about honest way of livjng
