I think he does make a point about the people from Haiti being successful because of coming from a better situation. There are plenty of successful black folks here in the us who are from families who were once enslaved as well, clearly.
What is your point in showing the above pictures?

Jorn suggested that "black" people can use the word but no one else can. There is no definition of who is "black"- it is nearly totally subjective- based on the person(s) viewing someone. That opinion may change with only seeing a picture or from a distance and then hearing the actual person, and then a closer view. If we only hear an audio version of the events- can everyone yell "Nig@er!"???
Would you be okay with the people in the image yelling the "N" word in a public youth soccer game as Jorn is?
