The images — men on horseback, appearing to use reins as whips to corral Haitian asylum seekers trying to cross into the U.S. from Mexico — provoked an outcry. But to many Haitians and Black Americans, they’re merely confirmation of a deeply held belief:
U.S. immigration policies, they say, are and have long been anti-Black.
The Border Patrol’s treatment of Haitian migrants, they say, is just the latest in a long history of discriminatory U.S. policies and of indignities faced by Black people, sparking new anger among Haitian Americans, Black immigrant advocates and civil rights leaders.
They point to immigration data that indicate Haitians and other Black migrants routinely face structural barriers to legally entering or living in the U.S. — and often endure disproportionate contact with the American criminal legal system that can jeopardize their residency or hasten their deportation.
“Black immigrants live at the intersection of race and immigration and, for too long, have fallen through the cracks of red tape and legal loopholes,” said Yoliswa Cele of the UndocuBlack Network, a national advocacy organization for currently and formerly undocumented Black people.
“Now through the videos capturing the abuses on Haitians at the border, the world has now seen for itself that all migrants seeking a better tomorrow aren’t treated equal when skin color is involved.”
Nicole Phillips, legal director for the Haitian Bridge Alliance, said racism has long driven the American government’s treatment of Haitian immigrants.
Phillips, whose organization is on the ground helping Haitians in Texas, says this dates back to the early 1800s, when Haitian slaves revolted and gained independence from France, and has continued through decades of U.S. intervention and occupation in the small island nation.

So swim back to your island.
Au revoir, amis.
Haiti - the country infamous for genocide against whites two centuries ago.

Then why on earth do they want to be in the most racist hell-hole on earth, if that’s what they believe?
The one place where there is no discrimination against blacks is Africa, why aren’t they going there?
What a joke. They face more “structural barriers” trying to cross over to the Dominican Republic, e.g. the country on the eastern half of the island they share. This is another example of the AP using vetted and one sided sources to push their own narrative. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.
The one and the same.
Enjoy your AIDS retards.
Yes, we’re all horrible racists here. You absolutely do not want to come here and should try to go back to Haiti as quickly as possible.
F’em
You might even say that their great victory in 1804 was one of the principal causes of the Civil War.
How many schoolchildren today know of the Bois Caïman ceremony? How many know the Creole phrase koupe tet boule caille?
What goes around, comes around.
“appearing to use reins as whips”
The people who wrote this (Aaron and Astrid) are part of the problem.
What defines the mistreatment they got from their Haitian leaders? Monochrome racism?
Thus sayeth the citizens of a country who began their independence by hunting down and murdering white people, mixed race people and invading their neighbor with whom they share an island.
So why would ANY person of color wish to come to this eevil, nasty, racist, prejudiced, mean-spirited, degrading, vile, abominable, deplorable, vicious, awful place?
Better to stay home and try to fix your own country, which could be a paradise with a little wisdom and proper management.
Spread the word!
/S
I still can’t understand why any black people would want to come to a country that is systemically racist.
IIRC, we were once bringing blacks over here by the shipload which has now caused blacks to be anti America but they’re not going back home.
No one invited the Haitians.
History tells us that 5% of African slaves were sold to the US colonies. The vast majority went to Brazil and the Caribbean. Including Haiti.
The AP is on a gaslighting roll today.
“ So why would ANY person of color wish to come to this eevil, nasty, racist, prejudiced, mean-spirited, degrading, vile, abominable, deplorable, vicious, awful place?”
To conquer it, and to degrade and eventually eliminate the indigenous population, of course.
