According to my pops it wasn't as bad as Miami. He said Miami in the 80's was rough for Haitians. Racism plus the lack of decent paying jobs was just all around bad.
Boston had it's issue with racism back then but at least there was a chance of upward mobility for immigrants.

You from the Bean?

There was a documentary that I saw years and years ago. I haven't been able to recall the name of it or see anything close to it on video sites.

Doc. about the Haitian and Cuban communities in Miami, Florida..comparing and contrasting U.S. policies towards the countries and how they've fared in southern Florida. Aired first on pbs in maybe mid 1990s.

Putting up the bat signal to see if anybody can help me with the name of it.....

Been looking for it for years. This might be it. Whether it is or not, thanks.

Metro Boston has had a West Indian presence since the 19teens. Mostly English speaking, but a segment of French speaking Islanders too.

Certain that later waves of Haitians faced racism from whites and prejudice from other Blacks, but there were institutions and resources established by previous Haitians to help them transition and adjust.

Haitians should have followed the rest of the Caribbean community and moved to the north east/mid Atlantic regions

Haitians in New York, NJ and Boston didn’t go through the extent of what Miami Haitians went through and the northeast has an older Haitian population than Miami so like others said more resources and also during the 1930s and 1960s I believe it was more well off Haitians who were migrating to America compared to the ones in Miami who came here with nothing

There was resentment towards Haitians by ADOS residents of Boston and its surrounding areas (I grew up in Cambridge), because we saw the Haitians used as a wedge against us by the white power structure. They were given preferential treatment over black people who had spent generations here, granted easy access to loans we had difficulty qualifying for, and welcomed to schools that had almost no ADOS children with two black parents in attendance.

White people around here treat Haitians, Jamaicans and Africans as if they’re a separate and better class of black.

Where is your source on Haitians receiving easy access to loans?
Or Haitians receiving better treatment compared to Black Americans in Boston?

I live here and saw it with my own eyes. I don’t have specific numbers, but I can extrapolate from the number of immigrant owned businesses and homes that they seem to have greater access to capital than ADOS residents. Most of the black businesses around here are owned by Carribean black people.

Most caribbeans who own homes got it through soosoo money

I really wish people would stop spewing this lie.
Many Haitians participate in a group savings club called Sol or as West Africans term it SouSou
Jamaicans call it Partner. Other immigrant groups have their own versions of it.

'Sou-sou': Black immigrants bring savings club stateside

@Mega @NewYorkIsBetterThanDallas

Have whoever you're arguing with on ignore. Whoever he is, ignore the buffoon. He probably doesn't know what's going on in the next zip code, much less the financial histories of immigrant groups. MFers say dumb shyt for attention.
