My grandma moved here from Haiti in 1972. Now the family has 2 doctors, one lawyer, one engineer and 2 police officers. She worked 2 jobs in Miami to raised her children. ❤️🙌🏿
Yall rich 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑 congratulations
Salute to your grandmother. I’m certain she is proud of the family and her hard work was not in vain
That's real!
Salute to Granma. We made it. At ease from Ayiti ✊🏿⬛🟥✊🏿
@@Moneyjimmyloveproblem-1669 They worked hard for it bruh, no inheritance..
My parents came here from Haiti. Built from the mud, became nurses & retired comfortably. I can def say the majority of us are hard workers!🇭🇹
Same with a lot of caribbean immigrants. I deal with older caribbean folks as a part of my job and it's awesome to see how people are living sitting on land with a nice house chilling. I see this all over florida, Palm bay.. Port St Lucie etc.
Yup! I grew up with Haitians, you are right about that
Same with Black Americans. We work hard and many Blacks in the South are landowners. Our 150 acres was passed down to us so we are very blessed. Unfortunately, racists see anyone with Black skin as lazy and/or second class citizens. Haitians, Caribbeans, African, etc.
Lol this mindset is why your people lost everything. Success in America means nothing if you're not dummy
Why couldn't they do that in their own country? That's why Haiti sucks like it does, everyone leaves and builds up another country rather than their own
My Haitian dad was 19 in 1975 ...he's 68 today 🥹❤
Same here 😂😂
Cubans were able to build their businesses and communities without being bothered or terrorized. Big difference between them and black Americans.
the BIGGEST problem with black America is that they kill each other at the highest rate of any demographic and then they want to blame everyone else for their problems...change needs to start within them and better times will follow...Asians are also minorities, but they don't go around destroying each other and blaming other for their misfortunes are actually one of the most successful groups in America.
White adjacent
Truth!
That’s because most Cubans are white. Cuba is a country that is 50/50 Black and white. The refugees that came to America were wealthy whites that got kicked out by the Cuban revolutionaries.
@@draftday8078Very true white Cubans
Respect to Haitians and African Americans. They really got it from the mud with zero help.
I'm really glad this came up in my recommendations
My dad is Haitian & I remember him telling me the story of him moving to Florida as a child & his parents staying behind to help set up while here in the USA. He was in foster care & had to teach himself English. Proud Haitian America 🇭🇹💙💙
Man this is so relevant Now. WOW
History repeats itself
That black lawyer was speaking
Yes!
Yes Sir
Straight up facts
I will always love and always be proud to be Haitian 🇭🇹
Then go back if you are so proud and help your people out!
@@WallTrapMedia I bet you don't have an issue with proud Mexicans who come here for economic opportunity and send money back home, but you're quick to put the Haitian guy on blast, I wonder why?
@@WallTrapMediahater! , this is a nation of immigrants fool! Always has been!
Are you going to help them fight?
Then go back to Haiti 🇭🇹
being from Miami and a descendant of cuban immigrants, this is a great documentary.
Descendants is crazy ..second generation
@@Moneyjimmyloveproblem-1669 however you wanna word it my man. Same thing.
Political pawns, not immigrants
I have a question for you and don't run from it. Are Cubans racist?
24:45 "idk we black" 😂😮🙆🏾♂️
The director of immigration looks very Cuban…funny what happens when you give any group political power 😮
🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Miami set it up for Cubans to win from the start. No other group had that privilege.
Black people don't work together, either
Not in the very beginning but later on it became that way because they had the numbers.
Cubans never get deported that's why they don't work
What happens when you work together
Start deporting
"We're Black", that part....Truth bw told...sadly, it continues to this day
Yes, victimhood
More than 30 years later and the Cuban are doing better while the Congolese aren’t
@@pistolpete8231no just the system of white supremacy. 🤷🏾♂️
You mean black privilege?
Closing line sums it up
my exact thoughts
Yep!
Miami still till this day is segregated
Difference between between the Haitians and Cubans that came is that the Cubans were predominantly the upper class that had all their property nationalized aka enemies of Fidel. Some of them were even slave owners. American had beef with Fidel and communism as a whole so they supported the Cubans to an extent whereas Duvalier was a strong ally to the US and the Haitians leaving were his victims or his enemies plus they’re black
They're Black is all you needed to say.
Victim like always .
@@bigzclipz5104 there’s no honor in denying the truth to not seem like a “victim”.
Been looking for a nuanced answer finally.
Well said. Say less
Something that helps many immigrant groups is their use of rotating credit groups. They go by various names. Caribbean people call them SuSu loans. It would be good if more Black-Americans would adopt this practice. It would be a good way to raise money for businesses and other financial needs.
Bought my first house with a susu hand, and did the Reno with another !
@@im20intn
What's your ethnic background?
@@CrowdPleezaironically enough, SuSu loans originated in Africa during the 18th century so I’m sure the early African Americans were very well acquainted to the practice, it’s just that the Black experience in America did not allow for said practice to flourish.
Thank you for uploading this documentary.
I'm here for the retro fashion I ❤ it but daam the collar tips were longer back then😂😂😂
LMAO
Cubans don't talk like this anymore...
Nope they forgot their history and sided with the white man because the white men and women helped them the most. Even tho the Cubans in the 70s definitely felt equal to other people of color when they had no money and couldn’t find work.
This is how I always broke down Miami as a kid. Miami Beach, which is what people saw on TV. And the city of Miami. Where I grew up
They did Haitians scandalous.. smh
Sadly, they continue to....
Yup. It has not ended. Guantanamo Bay aka Gitmo where they housed alleged terrorist(and tortured them Google) was made to house Haitians. They aren't doing that for anyone else, only Haitians.
@@kelly8107the greatest victims that I ever seen . Always crying for anything
@@bigzclipz5104u a clown
@@bigzclipz5104 That's that Neanderthal DNA speaking
No difference the same thing is happening now Chicago New York Los Angeles and many more. When the government needs to replenish the workforce they allow over inflated amounts of illegal immigration. The same now they are getting substantial amounts of benefits while the community can’t even get a street fixed or money allocated to improvement of the city.
1975…I was a teen growing up in Miami, and I’m still here. I’ve known/observed Cubans all my life. Hard workers who really stick together, build together, and get ahead together…no different from how Jews and Italians have operated in the USA. It’s the formula for success for any immigrant group in America. Most Cubans who came here in the late ‘50s/early ‘60s were educated professionals and legit business people who were well to do in Cuba - so they did have that advantage. Most of them were white, and I’ll admit, I’ve known many of them to be racist, which I was reminded of when the black guy in this video mentioned how Cuban employers will tell a black person looking for work there are no openings, then will turn around and give a Cuban a job. But again, that’s them sticking together, like other successful groups have done. For sure though, there is a major class difference between the Cubans who came over in the ‘60s and those who came over later…not just racially, but in terms of education, ways of speaking, and other factors.
That Was Antonio Brown Daddy in that Blue Shirt 👕
Being a Cuban born in Miami In 1986 and having a lot of hatian friends I’ve always wonder this
Haitians were the threat & the Cubans were the shield/ pawns being used. If you know then you know. The oppressors understand this also, because it is their game they play.
It's seen now.
Na Cubans were going crazy back then also. Jamaicans too. They turned Miami upside down
Always blaming someone else
@@pistolpete8231We’re doing just fine. Worry about your own people.
@@ianwilson4483 and who are my people?? Since you know me so much.
Please enlighten us
No comments on straight up racism? How does lighter skinned immigrants always get better treatment?
It’s a difference of culture. Still is today. A lot of the problems are brought on by they themselves with their culture. Some cultures strive to do better. Some bring nothing that adds to a society.
Cubans were given everything to make communism look bad. If Haiti and a communist leader, then they would’ve received similar treatment
50 years later nothing change same sht continue 😢
History repeats itself
I ❤ Miami!!!!!
I wish I could go back to Miami...hopefully when it is time to retire
What that Haitian lady said at end was very telling!
Mr. Sonett stand up dude
Little havana, little haiti.
Real Talk
😁😊👍🏿👍🏿my City. MIA😁😁

RIP Javier Bray and Jesse J. McCrary, Jr
If native Miamians had a problem with Cubans they quickly found how industrious and hard working we are. The bad Cubans came during el Mariel boat lift when Castro emptied out his prisons and mental hospitals
the lady at the ends sounds like she's from louisiana - new orleans.
She sure does sounds like she’s from NOLA!
She could be! She talks like she's not one of them! Listen to what she's saying! She said they Hatian and that's not a Hatian accent
That’s because Florida is Gullah geechee
As a Haitian myself, I can tell you that woman at the end of the video is 100% percent Haitian. ❤
It's because Haitian Kreyol & Louisiana Creole are both French based with African influences. Also, many Haitians migrated to Louisiana after the Haitian Revolution and they had some influence on the dialect.

11:04 this is still going on it's even worse now. I work with cubans and they cut my hours to 21 hours a week from 28 hours and all the cubans working with me are doing the 40 hours a week. Im cuban American my parents are Cuban but they call me gringo they tell me im not cuban. Another thing is they get comfortable with each other quick. I see people come in to work new and everyone talks to each other like they know each other for years.
They were kicked out for being criminals and came to Miami and could continue the same drug wars here and most were like Scarface. Let’s not forget the actual facts.
That was when Castro emptied Cuban jails and sent Cubans to Miami in 1980. The Cubans who came to the US in the ‘60s were very different…most were white, educated professionals and legit business people.
I was 13 when this documentary was made in 1975, and was already living in Miami. I’ve known mostly Cuban and Cuban-American folks throughout my life and have seen the differences over the decades.
And this was before EL Mariel
Back when ppl said “Miamuh”
Living in south Florida. It opened my eyes when African americans treated the Haitians so poorly. But to me they was always cool people and had they back.
Black Americans did not treat Haitians poorly. It was other Caribbean people who had already settled in certain sections of Miami that treated Haitian poorly and jumped them. It was the same in NY as well. Haitians were the last island to settle in here in the U.S. We used to ask why did they beat of jump them. They said that Haitians were the poorest island in the Caribbean. We were children, we didn’t go get a cyclopedia to look it up. We were recruiting our friends to play street football with us if there was a male child in the household. Sandbox friends. Ones that we can call friends today. This is the 80’s. without all the remixes.
You are sadly mistaken FBA showed love to everybody and look what it go us
Those people more than likely were of the same ethnic background, but just born in America. Everyone born here of African descent isn't Black American.
I do remember black Americans bullying Haitians in elementary and middle school
@@stempowers Ranking is a American tradition amongst children. You come to school with a 10 piece suite on with your fathers shoes in Jr high, you were going to get ranked on. Children rank on children. In the 80’s If an American comes to school and his pants are above his ankles he’s getting the business. Do any Haitian children dress like that anymore today? NO!!! Getting jumped by black Americans for being poor was not it. You came from a culture into a new culture. Now you’ve adapted. An American culture. Immigrants will laugh at you if you have on a pair of Gordans/Jordan tennis shoes with a Novak Djokovic jump man on it.
Man we came along way.
Quasimodo predicted all this

Where was the jewish community during this time . We need documentary on how they grew in dade county . Is that even allowed .they have this secret society going on

Cubans can pass for white Haitian don't it's as simple as that
Cubans who “pass for white” actually ARE white. I’ve lived in Miami all my life and have known many white Cubans and Cuban-Americans. I’ve also known many black Cubans, as well as Cubans of other races. Cuban is just a nationality, just like American is.
@@WillieSurvive1 Cubans are a mixed Latino race. They are not white the term white was not even used until colonialism happened in America. The so called white ppl are Caucasians/Europeans
Anyone else think about the movie Scarface?
50 Years on and nothing has changed but probably gotten worse
In 2024 nothing has changed in Haiti Haitians are still leaving
@giniolamy: So are Cubans. What is your point?
@jonir.2044 My Point is Life is still Fucked up over there. Nothing has changed for at least 50 years and its sad 😔
@@giniolamy : mind your business and worry about Jamaica! And the Jamaicans that are getting deported from Great Britain. And the Chinese and Indian that own everything in your country. Worry about that. We will take care of our own. You speak like you’re higher than us. You’re no better than us. You’re a black man that is lost. It’s a façade to think that your country is better than mines. You have tourism yes, but the money doesn’t come in Jamaican pockets. I’ve been there multiple times. Once we get the right government, we own everything and we have more resources than your country. And this is not to every Jamaican this is to this loss Jafaking.
🕊🌎🕊🕊sharing🫂thankYOU 👑
I wonder which community is doing much better
the ones that worked to change their situation
@@irvzu27 in other words “ the Cuban “
The ones who had much more government assistance
Lol we have haitian majors business men doctors lawyers etc haitians play a big part in the economy and political landscape and they did it with out help from the government and they weren’t even welcomed but they overcame so do your research
@@coolhaitianshow799 I did my research and one thing for sure is that Haitian are good at lobbying and especially at the United Nations when it’s comes to begging for money, food , equipment. But let compare the Cuban diaspora and Haitian diaspora in Florida
it may have been because of color, but it also may have been because many of the Cubans that were arriving were business owners in Cuba and were coming to America to avoid Fidel and communism and were coming here to start a new life with money in hand. Big difference. If you're from Miami and you see companies like Navarro, Sedanos, El Dorado etc. those folks came here with money and a dream. What Hattian companies were started in the 70's that are still around today because folks came to America with money and a dream? It's not always about color it usually has to do with money. Now I am in no way saying all Cubans arrived with money because that is definitely not the case. During those times many arrived broke and looking for a handout but it was a mixture of class versus just folks arriving with nothing at all. I don't agree nor disagree I just don't think it was a color thing.
Like a great majority of impats. They want to make it into something foggy so they can obtain leverage.
" we black 😂" ❤
And they ruined Miami ever since.
The start of Miami going to hell!
The worst thing that ever happened to Miami, i always wonder what would've happened to Miami if the Cubans would've never came here.
What are your thoughts on Cubans today? Are they still trouble?
If it wasn’t Cubans it would be Colombians or other groups
Wow how ignorant are you ? 😂😂😂😂 this entire country was built on immigration. And like someone else said it would've been another group of ppl anyway
Wonder if Native Americans were thinking that when whites sailed here🤔🤔
