Please bro make it stop

I feel dumb for asking but I’m trying to wrap my head around it all.

1750-1784 is when Haiti was under french rule.

The seven years war started in 1754.

Can someone eli5 or point me to resources to help me understand what was happening in Haiti as well as in the entire world around this time?

I know that the Caribbean sugar plantations had 90% of the population enslaved and generated the most income for the European countries. The US became a consumer economy, especially north of the carolinas.

I’d also love book recommendations for black history in general in this time period. As I’m diving in I can see there is so much diversity and nuance that is just ignored in the books I’m reading. Or names of good historians to read.

It's honestly bizarre. Take "Yo Kase Tet DG A", this song has been out for a year and has always been a banger, shoot Afriken had Tchanmse blowing up the summer as well but the song never even got any recognition until Dominicans and Cape Verdeans started playing it then all of a sudden, everybody wants to listen. And this isn't a one time phenomenon, kompa in general been blowing up but I see more of other cultures especially lighter/mixed people getting highlighted for kompa than actual Haitians. Same thing goes for our food and a whole host of other things in our culture where it's completely downplayed or even demonized until someone else of another culture showcases it then all of a sudden it's loved. Any explanation?

The initiative, promoted together with FC Ruben Haiti, will take place at the Park Saint Claire facilities from July 25 to 30.

Levante UD continues to expand its international training project with a new program in Haiti. The International Training area has organized the ID TALENT HAITI event from July 25 to 30, an initiative aimed at young Haitian footballers born between 2008 and 2013. 

The project will be carried out in collaboration with FC Ruben Haiti, an academy created with a clear social objective: to provide support, education, training, and future opportunities to boys and girls through football, facilitating access to educational assistance through the foundation linked to the organization.

The collaboration between clubs will mark a milestone for the granota entity, as it is the first time Levante UD carries out a training initiative in Haiti. In this way, the initiative consolidates the international expansion of its Training Area and its commitment to development projects linked to sports. 

Training and social commitment

The project will allow the International Training Area to share its working model in a new context and continue creating spaces for exchange between different football realities. The program aims to create opportunities, especially through education, training, and the values represented by this badge.

Institutional agenda in Haiti

The trip will also include an institutional agenda aimed at strengthening ties with various entities in the country and gaining first-hand knowledge of Haiti's sports and social context. The delegation will visit the country's Football Federation and the Spanish Embassy. Additionally, they will hold meetings with local entrepreneurs to explore possible avenues of collaboration that contribute to the promotion of projects aimed at talented youth.

"Wilson Isidor and AFC Sunderland will embark on a tour to the USA to prepare for the new Premier League season!

Three friendly matches are on the schedule, including a blockbuster clash against Liverpool in Nashville, as well as a stop in New Jersey to face Leeds United.

Currently on vacation, the Haitian striker is enjoying a few extra days off after competing in the World Cup, before rejoining his teammates for preseason training."

Florida is MAGA land. I know the odds are between slim and none, but it would be great for a change.

I’m going to give our brothers and sisters in Haiti the benefit of the doubt and call them paid actors, because doing all this for someone they know is responsible for their misery is either a sign of mental illness or… I don’t even know.

A few months ago I asked this community about building a directory of Haitian-owned businesses. It’s real now: nanlakou.org (original thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/haiti/s/UTCbMHqBTy)

Where it stands today: 1,000+ Haitian-owned businesses across the US, Canada, and Haiti, every listing researched before it goes live. 26 upcoming events, from Montréal to Cap-Haïtien. The full site is in English, Kreyòl, and French. Free to list, no ads, no accounts needed.

Principles from day one: trust over growth (closed businesses get removed), curation over volume, and a public roadmap showing what’s next.

Would love this community’s feedback again. What’s missing? What city next? Sispann di krik san krak. 😄

Big Shout out to [u/DreadLockedHaitian](u/DreadLockedHaitian) and [u/Tricky_Bad_3363](u/Tricky_Bad_3363), who took the time and hit me on the chat to share ideas and push my thinking. And some of it is literally in the site now — [u/DreadLockedHaitian](u/DreadLockedHaitian) called out therapy and tutoring as gaps, and today Mental Health and Tutoring are two of our browse categories, with listings from Boston down to West Palm. That’s exactly the kind of feedback I’m hoping for again.

Koze eleksyon ap pale misye fè pakèt li epi li tounen nan peyi a. Ki opinyon w sou sa? M ret kwè misye pral poze kandidati.

What's up with all the AI kompa songs? Everything sounds the same and generic.

Often times you’ll see when the so called gangs go on live and try to play the Anti-hero archetype it’s a bunch of people in the live attempting to have some type of dialogue with them, they get confronted in the live too but it’s still a lot of people supporting them and u just can’t help but laugh at the whole thing, not that it’s funny just the absurdity of it. You have these guys committing mass murder and the comments is showing them support, sometimes they’ll get up to 200k follows.

Too bad for the none Kreyol speakers

To be fair, everything he said about Fils-Aimé’s government are true, from the decrees designed to protect him and others from future prosecution, to contracts awarded to nonexistent companies. There are also decrees stating that future leaders cannot interfere with or cancel those fraudulent contracts, along with public buildings and land being handed over to foreign entities and the airport being used as a foreign military base and many more corrupted activities

After the World Cup ends, the déchoukaj is supposedly going to begin. Even Erik Prince caught stray shots. The U.S. Embassy and Fils-Aimé’s supporters are probably going to try to silence him soon.

For Port-au-Prince senator, Moïse Jean Charles is called in for questioning after announcing during a rally in Cap Haitian that after the world cup, there will be a dechoukaj aimed at the departure of current prime minister, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé. The ex senator declares that it's political persecution for DCPJ to call him for questioning.

What are your thoughts on Catholicism and Christianity in Haiti. Haitians are pretty religious most Catholics practitioners delve into Vodou. But in your opinion what has religion done for the Haitian people culturally and historically? Has it been a positive or has it been one of those things that hold the population back ?

Weekly update for TPS Folks. I know a lot of us don't have any other option other than to stay and if that is your situation, I hope this can be of some relief.

According to some immigration lawyers, deportation is NOT a fast process.

Many immigration hearings are being scheduled YEARS into the future (ex: some as late as 2028 or 2031). These are for deportations that have nothing to do with TPS. So you can imagine that when it will come to deporting about 300k+ people, those times may even be longer.

***You should still make an emergency plan and continue to explore legal pathways. The point of this post is to tell you to NOT panic.***\*

Reminder, this administration wants you to be scared. They don't want you to know your rights. They want you to give up so they can get their deportation numbers up to please their base.

As of now, you are still protected until at least July 24th.

It typically takes 32 days for a Supreme court decision to fully take into effect. So during late July to early August (could take longer if Judge C. Reyes continues to buy us time), we should receive final guidance as to what the end TPS will truly look like.

I pray that grace periods and the upcoming midterms will be kind to our community.
