Nadal's views, as a rich bourgeois (as opposed to Aristide's wife, the poor
bourgeoise), reflect those of those who consider Haitians who do not look
like them only suitable of providing cheap labor (quasi-slavery wages) thus
they can always "live like the bourgeoisie" and "look better".  Those folks
should admit that Aristide is for them just a metaphor. Period. But again,
honesty was never a trait exhibited by those people who only harbor disdain
for their downtrodden brothers and sisters.What haughtiness!
Thanks heaven there are still a few people considered to be part of the
so-called "bourgeoisie" who still love Haiti and all of its children.
