- Series of interviews with white Haitians and Euro descended Haitians sharing their thoughts and feelings about the racial prejudice they face in Haiti and abroad. From the documentary Forgotten Faces Of Haiti. filmed in 2009-2010. copyright D.Ritter 2021.
My grandfather is from Baracoa, Cuba. Baracoa had its own white French quarter that spoke French up until the early 21st century and was made up of White Haitian refugees from the war of independence. We have their records from the colonial period in Haiti. Godspeed cousins from across the Guanaba!
I would love to visit and document the history of this community. please stay in touch your family seems like it has an amazing story to tell.

@@bastianx8772 I'm sure the Tainos would like to have a word with you too.
@@KahnuKahnPlay what Black slaves have done to the natives?? The blacks weren't the ones who had massacred and exploited all the wealth in the island,it was the spaniards,the Frenchs and the Brits
Oui les descendandts des créoles ! Ceux qui ont appliquer le code noir, ceux qui ont accepté que Rochambeau et ses chiens mangeurs de chairs traitent pire que des chiens les esclaves!. Les gens ont la mémoire courte et pensent que l'esclavage était doux! Regardez aux antilles françaises les descendants des colons appelés békés, ils contrôlent tout??? Qu'est qui a changé pas grand chose , un peu de poudre aux yeux mais au final pas grand chose!
Vous voulez que ces mêmes descendants d'esclaves les accueillent à bras ouvert????
Eh bien accueillez d'abord vos bourreaux!
I know tons and tons of white Haitians. I always loved seeing my aunt who is a white Haitian coming to Dominican Republicans seeing Dominicans have a funny reaction. Haitians come in all color. I met Asians who are Haitians too. People can be so stupid and ignorant.
People being ignorant is natural we all have a lack of knowing/ knowledge about various things and subjects. Ignorance is simply an opportunity to educate and that is why I made this video. - David Ritter
@@ForgottenFaces001 much love ❤️ thanks for making this video
@Adrien Yb exhibit a
No such thing as black Haitians ! When was the last time you saw a white Chinese ?
@MeVsFanboysWorshippers speak English. I don’t understand you. “Stop making for us”????
Nice video mate, best wishes to you and all those interviewed. Best wishes from the UK as always and hope you're doing well. 🇬🇧 🙏 🇭🇹
@@ForgottenFaces001 Yes I understand.
Haiti is 95% black and 5 % mixe and white(representing over 500k people). I dont think there is racism toward white Haitians... But in Haiti you would hardly see any Haitians of the 5% standing up, protesting for justice, progress and better living conditions for their compatriots. As far as i know whenever there is a crisis in Haiti, most of them are quick to take the next flight to Florida. So IMO the 5% only claim to be Haitian when it benefits them...but not when it comes to developing their country. Specially considering there is alot of concentrated wealth in that 5% of Haitians. When have we seen them on TV talking on behalf of Haiti?...considering Haiti s history i think many of us would like to see more of them outhere fighting for Haiti. The last one who did was Jean leopold Dominique
You claim there is no bigotry towards white Haitians all the while spewing bigotry and negative generalizations about white Haitians. the lack of self awareness is amusing but sad. - David Ritter
@@ForgottenFaces001 Can you point out the part of my comment that was spewing bigotry toward white Haitian? Can you also tell me about what bigotry black Haitians are committing against white Haitians... It sounds like you dont really know much about the subject that you made the video about. I travel to Haiti many times and most white Haitians that i know are living very well and prospering. Have you ever even been to Haiti? Where is the persecution of white Haitians?
Shit wen i used to live in Haiti I saw some white Haitian that goes through the same struggle as a black Haitian
@@scorpio6874 there are black Haitian in Haiti that live well also
@@Youngcarter354 Not all white Haitians are wealthy and the crime and violence that affects black Haitians affects white Haitians as well.
I'm European, not sure why, maybe I don't see all Haitians act aggressive like other folks. I saw the violance, but I saw some very intelligent folks that would do well in a different setting. Living in chaos, turmoil brings out the worst out of people.
By different setting you mean a nation full of non Haitians. Like Europe
I mean, they were enslaved by French… white Haitians mostly have French blood.. so it’s not shocking but it’s not known commonly because it’s a larger African population and higher melaninated.
if you are mixed ,Arab or Asian you are white in Haiti lol
Dont forget they might also he polish!
2:55 CD? This guy is a singer? Good luck to him. 👍🏻
He does not need luck the martino family is famous in haiti and extremely successful in music
@@ForgottenFaces001 This is Roberto Martino?
@@jamesthomas5109 yes
@@ForgottenFaces001 Awesome, best wishes to you both. Big fan of your videos and hope you're doing well. 🇬🇧 🙏 🇺🇸
Ye T-Vice is guddd!
Hello, I would love to know where is the rest of the video. I wants to here the rest of the last statement. I would love to acknowledge that there are white prejudice, but can you acknowledge that a nation that is over 70% impoverished, white Haitians are not in the mist of that 70%. Haiti doesn't just have color(ism), but also class(ism). Although you can consider white Haitians for color, but please take in to account their class.
yes I know White/mixed Haitians who are poor in Haiti they are not all rich or middle class
No lie lives forever!
Menm bagay bò mwen an!
I’ve never seen a white Chinese nor have I seen a white Japanese.
There are whites in northern Japan...remember its near Russia
There are white Chinese
@@ForgottenFaces001 the chinese and japanese are whlte... their skin is whlte. they arent caucasians but they skin is same collor

The first guy’s accent doesn’t sound very Haitian, I wonder under what conditions he grew up
Sad
I think this guy is asking for too much. The European race have been bad news for Haitians for too long for him to be seeking compassion. When Haiti no longer experience the effect of what the European race have done he will receive understanding and compassion
yes ok but hes saying he has Black ancestry to he is not fully white so why treat him like that Haitians come in many colors not just dark skinned
You seem to totally ignore the massacre black Haitians initiated against whites, which itself is the cause of the stereotype that white Haitians doesn’t exist. Whites has very little to no involvement in astranomical levels of corruption and crime in today’s Haiti despite the influx of humanitarian aid. Haitian government are not the victims they’re the perpetrators
No person should have to defend himself on daily basis because of his skin color or ethnicity
Wtf is the European race? Their are people of backgrounds in France and Spain
@@ShantalhaitianPrincessBruh he is still white 😂
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Being Haitian can’t be realize without someone’s Afrocentric makeup just as Japan, Sweden , and many other countries.
But the people living in Haiti r not the ingenious people it’s like saying they don’t look American.
Haiti was the first black led for a reason why should they acknowledge you?
Then by logic why should you be acknowledged aswell ? Haiti was originally taino land everybody else came from colonization. The polish help Haiti fight for independence he is just as hatian as a black hatian
Two words, common courtesy. But they won't because most Haitians are awful people.
This is quite the racist comment lol. For starters there were several black nations before Haiti, and further more by that logic African Americans Shouldny be acknowledged.
@@sergio12662 as Haitian I agree all people who’s born in Haiti speak creole are Haitian no matter the color.
@@Youngcarter354 facts bro one love 💯
They dont even have Haitian accents
You are obviously not Haitian and have spent no time in Haiti
@@ForgottenFaces001 all of them are American. Dem don't have Haitian culture, lifestyle, or interests. Just exploitation like the few in Jamaica and even Africa.
Aliens
Nothing to be proud of
I don’t understand
Bizarre...white....hmmm
Haitians are of African descent. Vis the trans Atlantic slave trade. You are not. Your people migrated to Haiti
You guys notion of racism is so skewed I can’t really. Bohoo.
Try learning basic grammar before mocking people for sharing their experiences and thoughts.
I don't understand how you can suggest that White Haitians are not subject to antiwhite hatred. It's absurdly self-evident.
Holy shit you got fucking Ratio’d lmao
@@catphuckers I wouldn't call all of us white most of us are mixed and in America I'm not considered white most people call me mixed, Brazilian, Black, Hispanic lol I've only had a few people think I'm a dark Italian or Portuguese.
@@ShantalhaitianPrincess I'm not talking about you. You're clearly not White. Are you part Afro-Haitian, part White, or are you part Afro-Haitian, part Dominican Mestizo? I'm guessing the latter.
Lmfao
