Today I will be talking about the Characteristic of Haitian men. But before I do so let me tell you that I am not judging or generalizing the entire Haitian population or community. I am basing this off experience and what I've seen growing up or experienced my self. Pleased be advised that they are different category of men world wide, some may carry similar characteristic, some may not. So to answer your question 's on the different characteristic of Haitian men please read below and you'll be able to compare whether or not your Haitian men fall into that category.


The Just Comes.

The just comes are a group of Haitian immigrants that has travelled by sea or air some may refer to them as boats (meaning a person that was born in Haiti probably still have a thick haitian accent) So a Haitian guy that is a just come, immigrates to certain parts of the country mainly, Miami, New York, or Canada. When they just come they are ambitious looking for a new life and work here in America. Just comes can be different class of people. Some may have been well educated and have family that are well off financially others not so much. The Characteristic of a male just come he would be well dressed, button down shirt or polo, ironed pants with a leather belt and matching shoes. Hair cuts and trimmed facial hair is a must, looking like their ready to go to church. At this stage they are not so open to the American life style, and have different views of how children should be raised.

The Diaspora 

The Diaspora are a group of Haitians that have immigrated to the U.S. and are now picking up on the American ways. This is mainly the younger guys between the ages of 15-30. They are open to learning new things. I remember at one point they would wear Italian clothes in cologne this was very popular among the haitian community. The characteristic of  Diaspora men then would be the pointy Italian shoes, fitted jeans or pants, Button down shirts, Belts like (MOSCHINO). Now in 2013 the new characteristic of Diaspora men would be True Religion Jeans, Armani Exchange, Diesel, Prada, Gucci, and LV. May I add a few of them get them counter fit and some authentic, expensive jewelry too but they carry themselves really clean. When it comes to relationship they love women so much one is never enough. Oh and their good at lying too so they can appear to be more than what they really are. But in reality some are broke and probably live with family. The ones that are more  fortunate make their presence known especially at the clubs. Ordering drinks in V.I.P. and attend most of the big Haitian concerts and bal (club).

Just to find out later that he hangs out with his friend at their Bazz (Hangout spot) all day. He does not work, or has no interest in working unless it's hustling money. Plays Haitian  bollet (Lotto) go to clubs on the weekends and dress really nice. Characteristics of men that hang out at the Bazz , sometimes he'll have his wife or girlfriend drop him off and hang with other just like him all day and debate on non sense. When it comes to relationship the women usually catch them in the act and there is always fights or altercations. It's a place of gossip and drama most Haitian barber shops are included in the Bazz category. It's a small community and everyone always know somebody so good luck trying to live a private life. Oh and don't forget lots of gambling , dominoes and card playing goes on in these bazz.
