:
Clara u certainly think u blacker than other blacks for some reason. You're such a dumba$$. You're like those Africans that look down on the rest of us blacks saying we are the sons of slaves whilst they are the sons of kings. BTW when they say that they mean all other blacks including YOU, you cow!! WTF makes u think u're better than other black nationalities you're worst than white racist because u hate the fact that u have to share a complexion wuth the rest of us but guess what? they don't want you and we don't *** want u either self hating johnny hole!!!
I love how on her Myspace page when DK first came out, she was "of Creole descent", now it's been clarified to "Creole Haitian descent" (and she's from NOLA, so I know she knows the difference)...smooth cover Dawn, but big ups to my Haitians anyways, they are a proud people! Hell, big ups to the whole Caribbean, we make being Black look GOOD!
Not to be mean...but mixedhearts... *** women...seriously...***...lol... not hot...
Let me stop before *** come in here getting mad... But I dont think anyone country in AFRICA has looks on like... I have met beautiful ones from all over Africa...but that was just your opinion...
Anyhooo...yay for Dawn...I guess...
DQC Flag post omg! hell yah! or some poisson! my spelling might be off but... lol and the plantains... banan??? mmmmm omg, i think i'd rather eat haitian food than have ***. lol **************************
Already called my mom for her griot recipe! She laughed when I told her all this talk was making me homesick & hungry!
for katrina she was all ***.o ***.o ***.o. now all of a sudden shes hatian. her roots str8 out tha project. i cant respect tha flip flop.i luv my city and will always rep it mo matta what. JUS CANT LIVE THERE. ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT REALIZE IT STILL LOOKS LIKE *** IN THA ***.O. BUT AT THE SAME TIME ITS MY CITY TILL THA DEATH OF ME. P.S. NICE COKE BOTTLE SHAPE TINK3RBABY(IF ITS REALLY U)NO FLIRT BUT I LIKES
just like every other culture u find ugly and pretty girls...so to ladyroc, that was such an ignorant statement u made...obviously ur not that educated honey.ur probably one of those people whoe think all haitians r dark and ugly!!! Trust me we're not.. we come in all shades, sizes, and looks. Yeah I am haitian so i would know!!!
Alright. She look nice. I can tell they airbrushed the photo, but they do that to just about everyone who grace the cover of a magazine. I really hope she does not try to go solo unless she has absolutely no choice. Reason being she does not have the "it" factor to be a solo artist. She's a sweet person though.
LOL @ this thread turning into a war. I'll be honest, I do prefer Caribbean people, but there are some AA that are OK.
But it's funny how within the AA group, there is a war of the shades... light skinned vs dark. Then in the Caribbean, there are some islands who think they're superior to other islands. But when they all come together, the islanders scorn the AAs. It's kinda sad, but until people realize that forming judgment against people based on where they're from or what shade they are is dumb, there will always be chaos.
Why do we continue to hate on our black sisters.I think Dawn looks great on the cover.We finally have a person with talent tryin to make it and all yall can do is hate.She's reppin her roots.I love you dawn.Much success with your solo career and you do have star quality,unlike some of these acts out here.Don't listen to the haters....
LOVE the diversity now in the entertainment industry.
@GODFAV...the diversity in your family is beautiful, here is how mine works out: Ethiopian,Egyptian(Berber),Brazilian, Puerto Rician,Trinidian,Grenadian,needless to say family parties are FUN, when we could get everyone together.
@DQC I love Haitian food too girl, have you ever been to Tap Tap in Miami?
LOL,the only reason haiti was the first black nation to receieve its independence was because there were more slaves(blacks) on the island than whites,and because haiti is a small island compared to the U.S.Thats why there was never a successful slave revolt in the U.S Haitis been independent longer than Black americans,but its the POOREST nation in the carribean lmao how are haitians better than AA's?Are you serious?
Name 1 accomplishment,or contribution to humanity,coming out of Haiti Haitians are dirty,ugly,and have terrible body odor.You people are literally the *** of the carribean
DAWN has to be by far the fugliest tranny i've ever seen. And since when did Haitians start to publically acknowledge being Haitian. DAMNNN! I thought you guys were still in hiding. And the whole Black American vs Black Carribean thing is new to me. I've never seen that. BUT I DO KNOW BLACK AMERICANS DESERVE IT. THEY ACT SNOTTY AS HELL AND ARE TOO *** PATRIOTIC TO A PIECE OF *** WORTHLESS COUNTRY THAT DIDNT EVEN CONSIDER BLACK PEOPLE HUMANS UNTIL A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. But whatever. I have had countless run-ins with Black american females and males who constantly tell me im not black because im lighter and Somali people *** be considered black but African. As if it makes any sense.
*** DQC, I GOTTA BE HAITIAN? WTF. LOL QUIT LYING. U LOVE ME AND I'M NO HAITIAN.

I was born & rasied in NY 29yrs all my life & would love to go and vist Haiti one day. BIG UP to All the haitians that are representing...One Love
I'm African American and I have always had alot of respect for Caribbean people until now...it's absolutely horrible some of the things I am reading (not every Carribean person posted something ignorant). And to call all African American girls ugly is down right wrong as well. It breaks my heart to know that people will never change and this type of senseless hatred will continue. Sometimes I wonder why God wasted his time with us.
I didn't know DAWN RICHARDS was haitian, however I'm proud of her & Wycleff Jean who is representing their nationality UNLIKE other Undercover CELEBRITIES like Usher who father is PURE Haitian and wants to keep it a secret from the public.
I used to like Usher but when I found out he wanted to keep his nationality a secret I Got SO upset with him. Not A fan

On another note: Is this Clara chick aware that BLACK people were brought here on a boat? She's constantly complaining about foreigners and them going back to where they came from, but maybe she should open a history book. SMDH.
CLARA'S A NEEDY TROLL DYING FOR ATTENTION! SOMEONE SHUD CALL ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER, U KNOW OUR 1ST BLACK AG, BARBADIAN AMERICAN AND HAVE HER *** DETAINED!

***, this page is filled with so much hate!! what the hell is going on? when someone writes something so offensive, just ignore it! believe it or not, that's the best revenge! i could see responding if it is said to your face, but you will never see these people, and they obviously are somewhat insecure of their identity, or it wouldn't offend them so much. i'm referring to ALL GROUPS! STOP IT!
maybe you haitians know wtf he's talking about. or maybe he's high on crack or just being an AA...illiterate. cause i have no clue what that *** is talking about. peace out.
know your place, ***. lol don't forget. then again, not to worry. every so often the LAPD and NYPD, etc put yall in ya place. lmfao
I'm amazed at all the racism. It's 2009 and blacks are still fighting EACH OTHER. SMDH. White people are looking at this cracking up. It doesn't matter if you're haitian, AA, barbadian, puerto rican, dominican....WE ARE ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR! WE ALL COME IN DIFFERENT SHADES, SHAPES AND TAX BRACKETS! GET OVER IT!
I personally have seen trifling haitians, AA and puerto ricans. I have also seen some that were fine, clean and downright BALLIN, so it's stupid to have this argument. Sterotypes and prejudices are so 1968!
This thread was about ugly *** (imo) Dawn. How did we get to name calling? Ridiculous. Grow up, people.
WHEN DID I SAY I WAS HAITIAN! AND IF I WERE SO WAT! UR *** IS SO WEAK! MAYBE NEXT TIME I'LL USE DA WORDS LIKE FINNA, ***, AIIGHT! LMAO! UR SO *** LAME!

I dont know why you dirty island monkeys keep on talking about Black americans being criminals. Its a fact that haitian and Jamaican gangs tend to be more violent than AA gangs.From the haitian gang "zoe pound" in miami,to the jamaican possess of jamaica,the u.***,canada,u,s,etc etc all of them gangs are way more violent than aa gangs,because many of the members come from 3rd world countries (haiti,jamaica,etc)Its basically 3rd world violence
Im not going to even get into the jamaicans and haitians drug trade and etc etc
before you talk about somebody else,look at your own backyard
@ MadBlackSista08, your just as ignorant as Clara is... stereotyping Africans as having some type of superiority complex.
@ Ms-trustme LOL... your mother being haitian makes u haitian to.
@ virginisland_queen there is NO beef between caribbean and black-americans..... some people get into situations with blacks of other backgrounds and then tend to stereotype the whole based on certain individuals that they've come across. BTW, I'm African.
@ sunjoy, your first comment is not helping
@ SupremeBlackMan, your just adding to the ignorance
@ GoGoSunshine, don't judge a group of people based on internet comments.
noooo mto!!you have to stop using this type of lexicon to put a subconscious divide between the people on here...some of them being ignorant already will just decimate. i doubt caribbean people hate african americans,i think they just hate "some"african americans superiority complex....i live in jamaica,and caucasians (from anywhere in the world) are much better to have than african americans any day,some of y'all behaviour is pathetic,weak.... @SupremeBlackman....are u really?(flava flav voice)wooooooow
"every so often the LAPD and NYPD, etc put yall in ya place."
NOW YOU KNOW YOU DON'T MEAN THAT, DQC MY LOVE. LOL WEREN'T U IN TEARS THE OTHER DAY ABOUT THE BART *** THING? DON'T LET THESE *** ANGER YOU ENOUGH TO BE MEAN AND SAY THINGS YOU KNOW WOULD NEVER COME FROM A HEART AS SWEET AS YOURS. COME ON. LOVE YOU.
i mean,some of u categorise every other black thing walking to make up for being trash in your own country...i did extended research on american occupation of haiti and realised that under the guise of usaid,the u.s caused a lot of haiti's problems to escalate,for eg,through their road work projects, us aid managed to inject alot of weapons into haiti and cause more violence and societal rot
THE ONLY REASON AA'S SUFFER A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX WHEN IT COMES TO NON-AMERICAN BLACKS IS AS A MEANS TO FEEL LIKE LESS THAN THE WORST!
IN THEIR 'OWN' COUNTRY, THEY ARE CONSIDERED ALMOST INSIGNIFICANT AND INVALUABLE. SO THEY LATCH ONTO THE IDEAS THAT PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES ARE UNCIVILIZED AND THEREFORE LESS THAN THEY ARE, AND THEY JEER AND TRY TO *** THOSE PEOPLE INTO BEING BENEATH THEM.
THE ONE THING THEY NEVER TAUGHT AA'S IS THAT CARIBBEAN PEOPLE ARE VERY PROUD AND MOST WILL NEVER BACK DOWN. SO GOOD LUCK WITH THE ATTEMPT AT DOING TO ISLANDERS WHAT WHITE AMERICA HAS DONE TO YOU. LOL
AND ONE POINT THAT YOU ALL HAVE MISSED IS... JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BORN ON AN ISLAND DOES NOT MAKE THEM AUTOMATICALLY BLACK. LOL
INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIND ALL THE NEGATIVE POINTS ABOUT ISLAND PEOPLE TO USE AS AMMUNITION IN YOUR ATTACKS, TRY TO LEARN THEIR CULTURE, ETC., SO THAT WHEN YOU SPEAK, YOU WON'T COME OFF LIKE TOTAL MORONS.
Yes Haiti is a poor country...but other than that unfortunate fact that makes them no different than the rest of us. Because of my heritage I have had the opportunity to travel all over the world, and there is one thing that I noticed...rich, poor or in between, we all want the same things out of life. First and foremost we all want to love and be loved in return, we all want someone to believe in us and to be validated as human beings. Not to be stereotyped as unintelligent (the way most whites stereotype people of color) or as ugly (the way most of you stereotype Haitians).
When you group or stereotype all Haitians as being ugly you are really showing how ugly YOU really are from the inside out. Furthermore it just proves how ignorant you really are, growing up in Miami, I have met Haitians, with beautiful dark skin, caramel colored skin where they look Latino, and yes I know some White Haitians as well, with brown hair and blue eyes.
Stop being so narrow minded, it only makes you look ignorant!!!
clara 's nuts....she speaks nuts....her "gentleman" must unload in her mouth 24/7,she's so *** nutty....loony bytch! howard always tells me yo,never argue with a fool, cause a fool will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience! herself and supreme azz need to be exterminated with baygon,*** brainless insects...
yup,that's some real talk right there Lilli,mto thrives off of their bloggers conflicts. have you ever seen a beyonce thread? the first time they threw that *** out there and it generated mass hate or adoration for beyonce they never stopped doing it. then they're doing it now with rihanna,even posting annoyingly similar stories within a day apart. after the excitement that generated they're now onto some caribbean/african american *** anyway,clara's stupid...and she and other's like her misrepresent AAs,people from all over the world are on these websites just scoffing at AAs silliness...seems everybody else knows the truth but the ignorant AAs,america is a cultural melting pot,built by the sweat of immigrants, aint nobody ignorant about that
"if jamaica wasnt so *** geographically placed, i.e close to the u.s of precious *** a,with an extreme taste for weed,and dumping your stink morals on everybody else's society, jamaica would not be half of what it is today u ignorant bytch!"
Wow,so essentially,you're blaming the poor state jamaica is in,on Black americans? LMAOOOOOOOO
What about the u.***?Most of u.ks crime is comitted by Jamaicans and other blacks of the carribean persuasion
"IN THEIR 'OWN' COUNTRY, THEY ARE CONSIDERED ALMOST INSIGNIFICANT AND INVALUABLE. SO THEY LATCH ONTO THE IDEAS THAT PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES ARE UNCIVILIZED AND THEREFORE LESS THAN THEY ARE, AND THEY JEER AND TRY TO *** THOSE PEOPLE INTO BEING BENEATH THEM."
We are superiority complexes,yes.
The only difference between AA's with superiority complexes,and carribean islanders with superiority complexes,is that AA"S actually have history to back it up.Most of the positive contributions from Blacks,to humanity itself,have been from Black americans.All across the board.
supremeazz actually,no,u idiot i said nothing then either implicitly or explicitly abput AAs having anything to do with jamaica's "poor state" i wudnt give an ignorant azzhole like yourself that much credit....have you ever heard of the shiprider agreement?america controls the caribbean waters this side,yet still tons of weed and weapons gets traded between the countries every year....what u dont know is definitely hurting you!this is something you know nothing about!you are too insignificant to!the powers that be dont teach you certain things stupid li'l AAs like you in your small corner think your'e the ***....ratings of first world and third world countries are based off of things like GDP,access to information,health care,education,etc only the top 20% of americans (of which you are clearly not a part) consume the greater part of this GDP...you are a bottom feeder,so you are at no advantage i am on the world wide web just like you,so i have access to information i havent been sick outside of the flu virus in january and i'm pretty sure i'm smarter than you to the nth power,so *** ur stupid a$s up
corruption and crime are financed by the power brokers in the world...do your research...centuries of suppressing Black people have made them violent and uncertain about themselves,and Caribbean people just like AAs are! You think you're so sure of yourself,but you dont even know your *** history if you say other Black people dont have history,your nothing but a stupid goat! you're talking about Caribean people creating ruckus in the U.***?a cartoon comiing out of a British newspaper showed a mercedes benz with a sticker on it which read: the war on terror is nothing but a bumper sticker" you do the analysis...those people are even more tired of idiots like you justifying everything in the name of your precious than the Caribbean people...an old English woman came up to a lecturer of mine once and told him that she owes her life and education to the Caribbean and the sugar economy, which in her childhhod days made England very very prosperous.... gnite superhead,i mean supreme
She is Haitian??????????????????? Since when? Anyways....Dawn to me do not got the "it" factor period to go solo. I am not impress with her voice. Nice girl...but nothing special about her. The star of Danity Kane.... was Aubry ( the ho lol) and possibly D woods. They stood out...they had personality...the rest of the girls look like back up singers. They out the group so.. Dawn...to there is something with her seems like she a "snitch"...and likes to stir the pot. I can not put my finger on it....but something about her I do not trust. You screwing Diddy or what? Why all of a sudden you get attention??? It is a group remember. I don't agree with dumb *** Aubry slutty route....but she stood out in that group.
Reading the comments on this thread really made me smh. This ish is sad. Thank goodness I was exposed to different cultures and races as a child growing up. I was also taught, if you don't like where you are, take your *** home. Complaints and excuses come from sorry *** people with no plan to make change.
If you are living in the US with brown skin you will be seen as a black person period. It doesn't matter if you are AA, Ethiopian, Jamaican, etc. You know why? This SOCIETY doesn't respect our different cultures, but that doesn't mean (as a lot of you have portrayed) that others with brown skin don't respect and embrace our cultures and differences. A lot, NOT ALL, of these comments I've read are simply reinforcing the negative and ignorant stereotypes from all around: the Haitians, AA, etc. This just needs to stop. Be blessed black people, ALL of you.
Before I comment on anything let me take the time out to say a wonderful JAMAICAN "howdy" to these people who i found to be very educated and nice:
DQC and ***. U girls are true representatives of the Caribbean identity...much LOVE!
Now onto those ignorant and the ones who are below ignorant...the cretas...did I say mentally deranged, intellectually *** and suffering from a severe case of mental depravity.
1st person up is SUPREME***...sir, why must you be so stupid..I want to assume you are educated, but educated with what knowledge...I honestly, believe you spend too much time on the corner "hussling" you are only street educated my friend.Frankly sir, if you didnt mention Jamaica on here...I wouldnt respond...but no one messes with my lil "JAMROCK" and remain content.
sir...as a man to man,since all you seem to do is argue with the ladies...in jamaica you are a person we call "dutty sketel, big gyal, mama man, battyman" and many more...but i am not going to call you names...instead, i will only try my best and educate you sir. You see, we in the English Speaking Caribbean have a great culture and history which binds us like an "ionic bond"...if you have any knowledge of the sciences you would at least know how strong that is. Yes, we are a region of many different races..ie, peole of many different origins; namely: Africans,Indians,Chinese which makes up more than 85% of the overall population the others are drawn from every cross-section of people from planet earth. This of course makes the Caribbean one of the greatest and most diverse places on planet Earth...as such its widely reflected in our mottos for eg, the Jamaican motto: "Out of Many we are ONE!!" This motto further translates across the Caribbean region...and gave birth to a regional body call CARICOM...hence, we are a team..yes! Sir, many of the countries of the Caribbean boasts records that will put the America to shame..and am not lying sir... for you see...we have come out of the stage of third world... we are emerging as 2nd world and 1st world economies...the UN call us Small Island Developing States (SIDS)...ie, the Eastern English speaking Caribbean...and larger economies like Jamaica and Guyana (which is located in South America..beside Columbia and Venezuela) as Emerging States.. the Caribbean has come a very far way since the abolishion of slavery in 1832...we have fought long and hard, for our own independence...and we are now free.. we fought because we wanted no more tyranny and pity from our colonial masters...we are corageous and smart. in less than 50 yrs the Caribbean has gained a literacy rate that far supercedes the US...we boast a 96% literacy and numeracy rate here.. we have a increased the life expectancy and feel no way, our people boast a longer life expectancy than yours..women in the Caribbean boast a life expectancy of 84 yrs whilst the men trail behind narrowly at 78yrs...and frankly America is sitting behind us...sir our infant mortality rate has lessened significantly in the past 35 yrs...we have have decreased that figure by some 58%...we along with Cuba shares a infant mortality rate that is some 3% better than yours. Our Birth Rate and Death Rates are also steady...we have balanced our population well and we continue to do so.. the major issues plaguing our Dearest Caribbean is the epidemic of HIV/Aids, and social depravity (just like any major city or state it the US)...yes we are burdened by the epidemic and this can be attributed to the tourism product we have here..but fear not, we are working assiduously to counter the mele...our educational campaigns about safe *** is resonating well...we have already been reaping the rewards. the social upheavals experienced by our towns and cities are a mere reflection of what is happening in the US...you see our geographical location has allowed us to emulate all the good and bad from the American society...its a pity! Yes, we basically idolize American filth and moral decadence...we have corrupted the minds of our youth with the American pop culture and that is the reason for many of our social ill health today. Sir, the next time you talk... I dare you to read before you speak.
A country's development is based on what is called the Human Development Index (HDI), i could tell you so much on this, instead i beg you try and read all about it on the internet. this will make you better qualified to speak to our level sir. oh..i almost missed this point...the Caribbean is the birth place of true beauty...given our potpourri of races...we have the great mix...we share a record with the exotic South America..i wonder if its the proximity? could it be that beauty can be dispersed like plant seeds..well whatever the case..we sure have plenty growing here. the last 10 Miss Worlds and Miss Universe i have watched...the top tens had atleast 4 Caribbean women...namely: Jamaica,Trinidad, the Domincan Republic and Belize...
Jamaica has won the Miss World Title 3 times...and we have been in the top 5 a whopping 5 times...the top ten a staggering 14 times and the other minor times we have made the top 15...so what does this say about the country? Infact, we are ranked at number 3 on the all times best performance list...if u think am making this up...go do the research... Jamaica has produced the TWO GGREATEST black models of all time..Naomi Campbell and Tyson Beckford...yes this country has it like that! We have produced the Greatests and the Worst...just like America! and before i wrap up..i wanna just say that the Caribbean has produced numerous NOBEL Laureates...in Economics (Arthur Lewis; UWI), English Literature (VS NAIPAUL, Dereck Walcott), Physics(Neville Ying...JAMAICA...UWI)...so tell me...name one Black American NObel Prize winner...just one!
we have
SupremeBlackMan you know what I read what you wrote about haitians and iam offended. first of all maybe you should go learn something before you start talking ***, go to a library and learn something. of course they always show the worse of haiti and ignore the better parts of haiti, but if i were you before I start talking crazy and making ignorant comments I would go educate myself first.I am Haitian and Im proud of it dont give a *** what your ignorant *** think about it.
For all of you stupid ingnorant *** who want to say haitians are dumb ugly, uneducated people here's some facts for you stupid ***. The first indepent black nation was haiti as previously stated. whats alot of you dumb *** don't know is during that time the french ruled by Napolean was considered the strongest army in the world next to America, guess who stopped Napolean and his plans to rule the WORLD that's right HAITIANS. The first black man to ever graduate from HARVARD was, you guessed it a HAITIAN, WEB DUBOIS. not only did he graduate from harvard he also helped found THE NAACP. Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable a haitian was the founder of the city of Chicago, Illonois during the 1700's. Garcelle Beauvais, a HAITIAN actress is best known as Fancy on the Jamie Foxx show.
BIG UPS TO DI VI MASSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JAM BAND IN THE AREA!..<-- only the girl from the USVI weould know what the hell i'm talking about... I was born in BROOKLYN and Grew UP in the VI then MOVED back to the Bronx.. What does that make me??????????? a blck person.. You cannot classify people because sometimes people don't even know there own background....

This reminds me of the thread "Movado performing in Belize". PPl posting ignorant comments about "Jamaicans being ulgy"...etc....I had to put some ppl on blast..When will we all get along and stop making hatred comments about different ethnicity........Its nice to see some AA make educated comments...what about the rest of them?..Come on are ppl in the world this ignorant or are they not educated enough?...GEESHH
I have love for all my CARIBBEAN PEOPLE....JAMAICA IN THE HOUSE....BIG UPS TO ALL THE HAITIANS...SPEAK UP AND DEFEND YOUR ISLAND!!
Ok all the ignorance in here got my head spinning...first I'd like to say I love all my Black people. That being said how come Black Americans try so hard to seperate themselves from other Blacks of different nationalities sometimes? How come the Haitians defending themselves feel it is absolutely necessary to state that they are exotic or that not all Haitians are dark skinned? Do you all REALLY love yourselves? Is something wrong with being a Black Haitian who doesn't look like they got indian in em? Sounding like the fools that always talking that 'I got Indian and Irish in me' but never bothered to inquire about what part of AFRICA their ancestors came from..make me sick.
