Not that I'm particularly interested in engaging this conversation with any of you but... You are comparing apples to oranges. The vast majority of Haitian immigrants to the U.S. come from the privileged classes there. Speaking in terms of class privilege, you're comparing the top 5% of Haiti to the bottom 75% of black America.

Same goes for Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, or any random West Indian country from which immigrant blacks originate. And I think it is safe to say that Haiti in total has more issues going that are threatening their existence than black America. Some of it self-inflicted, much of it not.
