Re: Denzel Washington Eddy Murphy And Will Smith...

Let us hope that we are not claiming what is not ours. All the above
mentioned actors were born overseas, except for Garcelle Beauvais.

As
you said it is gossip.

There is nothing in the article that support
the allegations that these actors are haitians or haitian-descent.

Also Gabrielle Union, Edwidge Danticat and others who are truly
haitians were not mentioned.

Do some research on professional lists
as doctors, lawyers, accountants, nurses, community developers,
social workers, etc...

There are truly very outstanding professionals
that we can list as role models as I suspect that was the goal of the
"gossip" idea.

Yours truly,

The topic is: Denzel Washington, Eddy Murphy, and Will Smith are of Haitian decent?
