Look, lived in

Haiti. I speak fluent Haitian creole. I love Haiti. Every New Year’s day I get a hankering for soup joumo. (ASIDE: I sure wish I could get that somehow!) But the truth is that Ron DeSantis is totally right to protect his state.

Believe me, I am very sorry that Haiti’s leaders have sucked so badly for 100 years. But they have. There is a strong cultural thread among almost all Haitians that once you direct things, you get to dip your hand in the piggy bank, Repeatedly.

Yes, there are Haitians who have rejected that cultural norm, but they are rare. And THAT is very unfortunate.
