 Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2006 5:10 pm Post subject: A FEW THINGS HAITIAN SHOULD KNOW!!! |
  |
|
This was from an e-mail that I got so I'm sharing it with you guys.
1. Matching the colors of your clothes is mandatory.
2. White socks with shoes is not fashionable. It never was.
3."Bien Etre" is not a classy perfume.
4. Black IS beautiful.
5. Marie-***** should not be the name of every woman in your family or every child you have.
6. Usher is not Haitian.
7. Not every person with locks (dreads) is a "vagabond".
8. You don't have to go to church in your best clothes. It's not a fashion show.
9. The Pope is not God.
10. Rapping in English with a heavy accent is annoying.
11. Speaking French, living in a white neighborhood, and driving a Benz does not mean "you have arrived" or finally made it.
12. Having a security job does not mean you are a cop.
13. A Home Health Aide or CNA is not a Nurse.
14. Women with underarm hair is NOT sexy, at least not in America.
15. Expired medication should not be sent to Haiti to be sold "nan ti mache".
16. A machete is not a tool.
17. A knife is not a screwdriver.
18. Asking your child if he or she did their homework does not constitute "checking their homework".
19. "Lwil Maskriti" does not help in curing Cancer, Diabetes or Cysts. Go to the doctor!
20. "Mademoiselle, voulez-vous m'accordez cette danse" can still be
used to ask a woman to dance instead of "Epps, ti cherie, an al danse' ".
21. Just because you buy a woman a drink at a party doesn't mean you just married her.
22. Dancing close does not mean you getting some.
23. "She's dark BUT she's still beautiful" immediately shows your stupidity and is NOT a compliment.
24. A moo-moo is not sexy.
25. The Haitian flag should not be worn as clothing.
26. Sending food to your family in Haiti does not constitute giving
back to the community.
27. There is something wrong with working two jobs as a housecleaner and a security guard in the United States just so you canpay for the maid
and the "jeran lakou" in Haiti.
28. Haitian patties need more meat.
29. The plastic can be taken off of your living room furniture.
30. Spending more than you make will eventually catch up with you.
31. She married Aristide for the money.
32. Maids are not hired to be your personal hoe.
33. It's ok if you don't speak French.
34. Not everyone is from Port-Au-Prince, Petion-Ville or Cap-Haitian. Let's be real.
35. In business, competition is actually good; no need to kill or burn your competitors business. |

very true. Sorry to say that I am guilty of a couple of those.
I like certain knds of bien-etre. My uncle always brings me one when he comes from haiti. And I WEAR MY BEST CLOTHES TO CHURCH. I GOT TO LOOK GOOD WHEN I'M GOING TO SEE THE LORD.
sometimes the only thing I can stand to have on is a moomoo. It is so confortable. They actually have some cute ones.
I think "wearing rollers to the store or anywhere outside of your home is not fashionable " should be added to the list. |
