This is how Mambo Racine, the founder of VodouAid, feels about Haitians. Do you feel safe sending her money for her "Vodouaid charity" knowing that she is the only one accountable for funds received and disbursed? Do you think Mambo Racine has a great deal of respect for Haitians and that is why she is funding Vodouaid? Or is she just using VodouAid to line her pockets?

Then once he got his permanent residence ("green card") he beat the 
living daylights out of her more than once, so she would "pay for the 
divorce, why should I spend the money". Then he went off on his own, 
until he got busted. Then he needed money for a lawyer and had the 
nerve to complain to me. 
 
He asked to use my telephone to call his family in Haiti, and I 
said, "Well, fine, twenty bucks up front, and then you limit your 
call to five minutes which is what twenty bucks buys." 
 
"Oh, you can't pay for my phone call?" he whined. 
 
"I can pay but I will not, you pay for your own call." 
 
So he went home and got twenty bucks and brought it back and I sat by 
the phone to click the cord out of the wall once he went over five 
minutes because I knew he would never hang up on time. You know what 
he said to his family? Remember he hadn't even seen his wife in six 
months, and he didn't know I spoke Creole. 
 
"Hello? Hello? Yes, it's me... don't blame me, the reason I can't 
send any money to you all is that the white b*tch takes it all, she 
won't even let me cash my check. Tell Marie-Claude I will send some 
money for our children when I can get it..." and so on. 
 
I snatched that phone from his hand and told his family, "The white 
b*tch kicked your brother out six months ago for beating her up and 
for doing illegal stuff, and she never took a dime from him, in fact 
he didn't even want to pay his half of the rent. And tell Marie 
Claude whoever she is, that the white b*tch was told by this man that 
he had no children, and she would never have talked to him if she 
knew he had a woman and children in Haiti." And I hung up right 
before this guy slung a book at me and doubled up his fists like he 
was going to attack. So I called 911, he ran away, and he was then 
re-arrested for more contraband activities the following week, was 
imprisoned, and deported back to Marie Claude when he was done 
serving his sentence. And the white b*tch, as he called her, did 
have to pay for the divorce. 
 
This is NOT UNUSUAL. Haitians have all sorts of mythologies and sick 
ideas about white people - they believe that in America when white 
girl babies are born the doctor destroys their hymen immediately 
after birth, with his finger. Tell them it's not true, they 
adamantly cling to this dehumanizing belief, because with this belief 
they have license to abuse white American women as they please. 
 
Most Haitian men who have American girlfriends or spouses have women 
in Haiti too, and it is the Haitian family that counts. Not that 
they treat Haitian women any better! Beating, cheating, rape, it's 
all on the agenda. 
 
Now, I will floor you all and admit that my significant other is 
Haitian. But I trained him! If you want to have a Haitian man, and 
you are a non-Haitian woman, you have to set your ground rules and 
MEAN IT. If you ever say, "The day you do X, I'm kicking you out," 
and then he does X, which I guarantee he will do just to test you, 
and then you don't kick him out, you're going to have nothing but 
trouble from him. I kicked my partner out for six months at a time, 
and wouldn't let him back until he forswore certain behaviors and 
meant it. I even threw him in prison, the one time he dared to lift 
his hand to me, and wouldn't let him out until he paid me a 
settlement of two hogs, his most cherished possessions. When I 
butchered those hogs he sat in the bushes spying and crying sobs that 
he would never, and will never, sob over me. 
 
Now he's docile, he's evolving. But this is a one-on-a-million shot 
and I guarantee you I will NEVER marry him, because if I do he is 
entitled to everything I possess, and he can even have me locked up 
in Haiti until I sign over my house and bank accounts. And he would 
do it, at the instigation of his friends and family. I will NEVER 
bring him to the USA because once he gets here, every Hatiain he 
meets will beat it into his head that to be a good Haitian, he must 
desert and abandon me. Never mind if he is going to a Boston rooming 
house where they sleep seven on the floor, that is preferable to a 
decent life with an American woman, because a decent life requires 
you to pay your way and live up to your responsibilities. 
 
So women, don't come here with the excuse that you want to know more 
about Haitian culture when what you really want to do is complain 
about the rotten behavior of the Haitian father of your bastard 
baby. Keep your legs shut, or use a condom, and learn about Haitian 
culture, and THEN decide if you want someone like that to father your 
child.
