I always wanted to go visit the DR but changed my mine just recently. Kote konsa pas fait pou mwen.

I wonder how do those artists feel now?

YOUR THOUGHT PLEASE.

HAITI AP TOUJOU RETE NAN ETAT QUE LI YE AN.

Why the students come to study in DR if they hate it that much? sa se hyprocrisy li ye. I agree that the treatment receive by the haitians in DR is inhuman but BOYCOTTING the event is uncalled for. A real boycott would be for them to not going to school there, than I would take them serious...

kompared... your reasoning is too simplistic and judgemental.

Plenty of people do things that they would not necessarily want to do under normal circumstances.

maybe many of them see it as the only way for them to get an education. Minm si peyi an pa bon for ou rpeople but if we can get one things out of them... why not?

even here in the states... not to say we wouldn't have haitians here if haiti was better but maybe only about half as much.

This is a negative thinkin'...

peyi sa se pa kote pou haitien te janm pile.

Post sa mande ampil refleksyon,mesi roi henri.
mwen pa pense ke moun festival yo te reflechi ak tout bagay sa yo. Pou mwen yo vle pote yon ti Haitian Flavor pou moun lot bo yo min se yon verite ke haitien ki rete DR traite pi mal pase chien, yo paka gen bon job, si yo fe pitit li pa ka gen nasyonalite dominicain kanta lan batay yo se pi mal.
Eske sa vle di ke pou yo boycote festival nan.
Mwen panse ke si Festival nan fet ak espri pou pote yon bagay bay Haitien DR yo yo pa ta dwe boycote li.
Sa yo ka fe se interese moun festival de l'ile yo pou rantre lan komba avek yo...bay ti kob nan proceed pou ede fre nou yo ki lan batay

Aren't these same students paying their tuition fees to DOMINICANS ? in what it benefits those in needs? I'm sure they paying rents, go to dominican restaurants, clubs, beach and leisures IN WHAT ALL THE MONEY SPENT IN THOSE ACTIVITIES BENEFIT THE NEEDIES?
Those students (whose major is boycott) need to set an example first by leaving the country then they'll be able to speak up their mind. as for now it's a pure BS

I'm kind of puzzeled myself, and don't really know where to stand on this. But one of the reasoning I find to be wrong and out of context is the fact that "some" feel like Haitians living over there have no reason to cry foul.

Well, let's see
I have seen Mexicans striking on the streets for their brothers being treated unfairly. Should they go back
I've seen haitians protesting during the embargo, and many other times. Should they go back
About Haitians protesting on their own country againts their own government, should they be sent back....to Africa

LET'S THINK OF THIS ON A RATIONAL MATTER WITHOUT ALL THE EMOTIOMS BEING CASTED.
