30657: Fofoye (reply) Re: 30650: Morse (comment) Haitians on list (fwd)




From: FOFOYE@aol.com

Haitians are extremely reluctant to discuss politics with  anyone knowing
that it might cost them their lives as they havelearned under Duvalier. Most of
them, including those residing  abroad are very shy when it comes to
expressing thoughts in writing, dismissing the validity of their own opinions in the
process.
In many ways, they are a very passive people and It's a great shame. I  ran a
newsletter for the Haitian community in California for a couple of years,
and I had the toughest time getting anyone to participate openly. They read  it
and enjoyed it, but had nothing to contribute in any way shape or  form.
