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.
