      I used to sell meat in Little Haiti & one day a customer told me “man, you rolling wearing that Rolex, don’t hang your arm out the window & let anyone see it, they’ll chop that arm off with a machete just to get at that watch.”
      I gotta CWP the next month and also NEVER drove through there with windows down.
      I don’t know if he was messing with me or not- but yeah, I started paying attention and realized I was the sole white dude anywhere around there. I knew the shopkeepers and store owners but ZERO of the customers 🤔

    Please clarify, Overtown used to be the Harlem of the South. This is where the rich African Americans lived prior to the Carribean Islanders moving in. Overtown also had the first high school for African Americans in the SFL area prior to becoming a JR High then back to the now Know Booker T Washington.

    Overtown was not Haitian really it was Bahamian/American. Edison ( Lil Haiti ) came up in the late 80’s early 90’s. Downtown Miami/Riverside was Cuban/Hispanic. Allapatah was Dominican. All these hoods have changed over the years. What it is now is not what it was back in the day. Just adding some clarity. For those under 40. Even though I’m way older than that. Lol

      Bro, you know what's even crazier, Lemon City aka Lil Haiti, El Portal, Opa Locka, Little Havana, Brownsville, West Little River, Allapattah, Hialeah were ALL WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS before the 60s! Only Black communities were West Coconut Grove (Bahamian settlers), Colored Town aka Overtown and the future Model City for Black American families ... Liberty City. As more Black Americans were becoming part of the middle class, they started to enter areas that were White Neighborhoods and with the Civil rights movement and Race Riots of the 60s eventually caused the White flight into more SW areas of Dade and eventually by the 70s, those places became the hoods we all know. Same thing with Little Havana and Hialeah, the Cubans replaced the White Americans of those neighborhoods.

    As a Haitian American myself I think you did a overall balance reporting , Haitians in Miami live in different sections of the city from Overtown, Little Haiti, Little River , North Miami , North Miami Beach ( New Little Haiti ) and lastly Miami Gardens. Although we do have a population of Haitians on the Westside and down south like Homestead.

    I was homeless on the streets of Miami addicted to drugs for 5 years. From late 2014-January 10th, 2020. Overtown was a place I frequented every single day unless I was in jail. I’m surprised I don’t know this dude you’re talking to because I knew literally everyone. Let me tell you, in my 5 years running those streets, I’ve seen some serious shit. I’ve been in the mix of plenty of shoot outs, drive by’s, seen people murdered right in front of me, lost countless acquaintances to drug ODs, been arrested and caught up with the police many times. As a matter of fact I have 6 felonies and every one I caught in overtown, but we call it OT for short. Yeah man overtown is the slums. You got that right.
    It’s changed so much though. In 2014, 2015, and most of 2016 it was so open air. When the fentanyl came around in summer of 2016 everything changed. So many people started dying so the cops got really hot. There were times of the day we would walk around for hours waiting for the cops to disappear so we could cop our dope.

We so much weed it was more weed on the beach line then actual seaweed.

    Nah, African Americans had their own thing too. Haitans just had a piece of the drug trade. John Doe, Convertible Burt and a bunch of other African Americans ran Overtown, Miami. I'm surprised Piccolo didn't explain. You need to do a part 2 of Miami. It's waaaay deeper.

    Not to take nothing away from the Haitians but black Americans had kingpins in Miami and the Miami boys that took over places all the way up the eastern seaboard and including ATL. Haitians during that time had to fight after school and got jumped so they had to earn their respect from Black Americans first. They definitely did that tho. Nowadays you don't have to be Haitian to be Zoe. One thing I love about my state is all the different cultures fuck with each other and The culture is merge into one big thing.

Haiti didn’t finish paying their “debts” in the 2000s that’s why it’s so fucked up right now. Little trade and a very small tourist economy when they used to be the Mecca. They started the revolts that freed both islands inhabitants. Forever grateful for the Haitians
