RE: Elite Haitian Women Prefer White Men

It seem to me thay you have misunderstood my political point of view as a personal perspective.

I was giving a historical and political perspective, based on my experience in the United States.

I will not get into justifying your statements of whether I have adapted to the white colonial mentality; however I wiill explain the prespective.
The Caribbean is a melting pot and as is the Unites States of America; for that reason being conscious of ones social status and political perspective does not make me or anyone a slave to white racist philosophy.

However I do agree that it presents a conscious view point of ones ethnic and cultural exsistance.
As it relates to the preference of 'elite Haitian women' dating white man I explained that race in Haiti is not a pressing issue of social opression; it is a pressing issue of mental opression, and I suppose either one disables the evolution of a free mind.

So, the legacy of slavery has allowed Aficans in the Americas to explore their roots, deny their roots and embrace their roots; and that charateristic is excellent for anyone attepting to become free in the world of white racism.
Ignorance is present when any women explains that she dates outside her race for social mobility.

That in my opinion is post white colonial racism in full motion.
Now do I care that white racisit philosohpy ignores my ethnicity, yes I do; because I belive that ones ethnicity should be honored no matter where ones presents him or herself.

Now,am I conscious that white racist philosophy degrades my race and ethnicity in indirect ways; Caribbean vacation print ads, Haitian Voudoo streotypes, and the boat people genre.

Oh yes how can anyone from the Caribbean not be be offended when someone explains ' You are not West Indian your from Haiti'.

But people say these things and beleive their factual.
So, how can I not be conscious of my black womenhood, it's a political statement without being overtly political.

Just the idea of an educated black women entering a room makes EVERYONE nervous; and that is race and ethnic consciousness evovles a free mind and we as black people should not belittle the power of a free conscious mind.
