Fake color issue

As far as am I concern, according to our original constitution, all Haitians are black.

At the scientific level all humans are of African origin.

Given those two paradigm the race issue is a moot one. So, regarding the Haitian race issue, we are really just talking about degrees of blackness.

This is not a tricky subject.

In Haiti:
a. The dark skin blacks, who have governed for the past twenty or more years have failed the country miserably.

They have done absolutely nothing to help the dark skin poor, who look just like them.

b. The light skin blacks, who dominate the economy, have also done nothing for the country.

Their economic policies, which did for a while benefit them, were so devoid of any though for the national well being that today the country is bankrupt to the point that even they cannot make any substantial profit in it.

c. Both dominant groups in Haiti have been devoid of any real intelligence.

Both group have exemplified what it is to be corrupt, selfish, and greedy to the point of self destruction.

Both the light and the dark skin powers are responsible for the way Haiti is today.

Therefore, I really don't care what shade of black the new president is, nor do I care what hue are the members of his cabinet.

All I care about is that they are intelligent people who will put the welfare of the whole country first.

That is all Haitians should care about.

The rest is superficial and irrelevant to national growth.
