Black Lives Matter–But Haitian Lives Don’t--August 202

Black Lives Matter is a big movement now around much of the world.

But Black Haitian lives do NOT matter.

Young Haitian men in the slums are gifted with big guns. Because they don’t matter and neither does the expectant young Haitian lady who is shot in the head.

Haitian kids don’t matter either. They are sick, hungry, abused, and have been out of school for the past two years.

Haitian coronavirus victims are uncounted because they don’t count.

And Tropical Storm Laura recently hit Haiti and at least 20 died including a pediatrician and her baby who were swept away in the brown floodwaters in the capital.

No NBA teams are stopping play for Haitians. They have not made the cut.

Black Haitians are invisible.

And their lives don’t matter.
