<title>Misconceptions About Voodoo- How The Racist Media Try to Disguise Haitian Vodou Religion</title>
<link>http://n1hc.com/blog/index.php?page=36</link>
<description><![CDATA[ &amp;nbsp;

	Although this story is a good piece of boost entends to shaping the Haitian Vodou Religion, but I am somewhat feel apalling, that not just for this good story, but because of many stories whether good or bad about Haiti have been written by foreign witers. It is although Haiti have no one born and raised from its native natal land to write story that makes headline and be truthfully told without the need to correspond with the popular views that foreign media have been reported for years.
	
	And, although I didn&amp;#39;t know whether the author of this story was white or black, but based on how comfortable the writer felft, easly and openly speak her mind about Haitian vodou, trying to put clarity and even and then her story was on headline in of of the most popular websites, so I knew from that point that the writer couldn&amp;#39;t have been Haitian.&amp;nbsp;
	
	If the story was written by a Haitian witer and be listed on of the most poular website, it would have been different. First of all, the story would look similar to the way the U.S. media reporters sound. Second of all, unless report as satified the popular views of foreign media, it would not have been published on the front pages on the most popular websites.
	
	So, the sad point is, a real Haitian writer who is popular would feel doubt about telling truth about Haiti the way a foreign does, without intimidating and trying to make his or her story similar to the U.S. foreign media in order to get attention

	&amp;nbsp;

	Below is part of writer story:

	&amp;nbsp;

	&amp;quot;A bunch of U.S. Marines stationed in Haiti wrote books on what they thought was voodoo. Stories about dolls and the murdering of children. They&amp;#39;re all full of lies, but served as a basis for too many films.&amp;quot;

	Whiteley points out that there is voodoo and there is sorcery, and far too often the two have been confused. She aims to set the record straight with her intriguing firstperson account in the doc.

	Whiteley had initially been conscripted to go to Haiti to do a documentary on the work of a Christian medical mission. But she quickly became aware that the Americans were more intent on converting Haitians to Christianity from voodoo.

	&amp;quot;I didn&amp;#39;t realize just how evangelical Christian this group was until I stayed with them. They spoke so disparagingly about voodoo.&amp;quot;

<title>Rebranding Haiti: The Voodoo Tours- Now Sweet Micky Remember Haiti Got Vodou</title>
<link>http://n1hc.com/blog/index.php?page=29</link>
<description><![CDATA[ &amp;quot;Oh, and it&amp;#39;s got Voodoo.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;Said Sweet Micky, speaking in regard of Haiti goodness and its rich history at the U.N. General Assembly in New York. &amp;quot;Do you know how many people would like to come to Haiti and try to understand what Voodoo is?&amp;quot; he asked me in an interview in his midtown Manhattan suite at the New York Palace Hotel.
	
	&amp;quot;I want to rebrand Haiti,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The image of poor Haiti who wants to turn to the world and beg for money is over.&amp;quot; (Though he admits to privately urging foreign donors to live up their commitment to provide billions in reconstruction aid. Martelly said Haiti has received nearly $4 billion of the $10 billion pledged to Haiti after the country&amp;#39;s devastating earthquake.) &amp;quot;In the future, we will be mainly interested in bringing investors to Haiti and creating jobs. We will not just welcome [foreign investors] but we will secure their investments and address every single issue that scares them, offer tax incentives, any type of incentive to attract them.&amp;quot;
	
	The effort has been a challenge. Diplomats, U.N. officials, and analysts have decried the lack of progress in Haiti 18 months since a devastating earthquake left 250,000 dead, and wiped out much of the U.N. mission staff there. A devastating cholera epidemic, possibly introduced into the population by Nepalese peacekeepers, has left nearly 5,000 dead. A U.N. panel, established by Secretary General&amp;nbsp;<b style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Ban Ki-moon</b>, provided substantial circumstantial evidence suggesting that the cholera emerged from the Nepalese base, but stopped short of blaming them for it.
	
	&amp;quot;Eighteen months after the earthquake, Haiti&amp;#39;s future...remains uncertain to most citizens,&amp;quot; states the June International Crisis Group (ICG)&amp;nbsp;<a href="http://bit.ly/k6GjDq" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 51, 102); border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: bold; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;" target="_blank">report</a>.
	
	Despite about $4 billion in foreign assistance, the country has been unable to resettle more than 650,000 people who still live in roughly 1,000 makeshift encampments around the capital, Port-Au-Prince, according to the ICG report. Martelly, a political novice who was elected in a landslide this March, says it&amp;#39;s a fair question to ask what happened to the money.
	
	Martelly said that when he took office, functionaries explained that a large amount of<b style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">&amp;nbsp;</b>money had been spent on basic life-saving supplies, like water and food, and other vital necessities. He doesn&amp;#39;t know what to believe. &amp;quot;We can waste our time trying to find out if it&amp;#39;s the truth or we can also decide to make of the future something better, something different,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I have chosen to make the future something different.&amp;quot; ]]></description>
