I know tons and tons of white Haitians. I always loved seeing my aunt who is a white Haitian coming to Dominican Republicans seeing Dominicans have a funny reaction. Haitians come in all color. I met Asians who are Haitians too. People can be so stupid and ignorant.

People being ignorant is natural we all have a lack of knowing/ knowledge about various things and subjects. Ignorance is simply an opportunity to educate and that is why I made this video. - David Ritter

My grandfather is from Baracoa, Cuba. Baracoa had its own white French quarter that spoke French up until the early 21st century and was made up of White Haitian refugees from the war of independence. We have their records from the colonial period in Haiti. Godspeed cousins from across the Guanaba!

Oui les descendandts des créoles ! Ceux qui ont appliquer le code noir, ceux qui ont accepté que Rochambeau et ses chiens mangeurs de chairs traitent pire que des chiens les esclaves!. Les gens ont la mémoire courte et pensent que l'esclavage était doux! Regardez aux antilles françaises les descendants des colons appelés békés, ils contrôlent tout??? Qu'est qui a changé pas grand chose , un peu de poudre aux yeux mais au final pas grand chose! Vous voulez que ces mêmes descendants d'esclaves les accueillent à bras ouvert???? Eh bien accueillez d'abord vos bourreaux!

Haiti is 95% black and 5 % mixe and white(representing over 500k people). I dont think there is racism toward white Haitians... But in Haiti you would hardly see any Haitians of the 5% standing up, protesting for justice, progress and better living conditions for their compatriots. As far as i know whenever there is a crisis in Haiti, most of them are quick to take the next flight to Florida. So IMO the 5% only claim to be Haitian when it benefits them...but not when it comes to developing their country. Specially considering there is alot of concentrated wealth in that 5% of Haitians. When have we seen them on TV talking on behalf of Haiti?...considering Haiti s history i think many of us would like to see more of them outhere fighting for Haiti. The last one who did was Jean leopold Dominique

Hello, I would love to know where is the rest of the video. I wants to here the rest of the last statement. I would love to acknowledge that there are white prejudice, but can you acknowledge that a nation that is over 70% impoverished, white Haitians are not in the mist of that 70%. Haiti doesn't just have color(ism), but also class(ism). Although you can consider white Haitians for color, but please take in to account their class.

You seem to totally ignore the massacre black Haitians initiated against whites, which itself is the cause of the stereotype that white Haitians doesn’t exist. Whites has very little to no involvement in astranomical levels of corruption and crime in today’s Haiti despite the influx of humanitarian aid. Haitian government are not the victims they’re the perpetrators
