[Music] my father immigrated from Haiti to the United States in the late 60s um as a teenager and I want to talk about these recent comments about the Haitians in Springfield Ohio [Music] my father immigrated from Haiti to the United States in the late 60s um as a teenager and I want to talk about these recent comments about the Haitians in Springfield Ohio first I want to say my father and I are now estranged but I did know him in my very very young years and um when he immigrated he was one person and they weren't sending you know thousands of patiens in one area wasn't eating people's pets and didn't practice Voodoo but he did say that most of the island the majority of the island does practice Voodoo the reason they eat cats is for two reasons number one is survival this is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere you can't just go to a food bank like you can here or just go to McDonald's and get some free or cheap food unless of course there's a Christian Missionary there people in the United States have a really hard time imagining that type of thing but it is true second they do do animal sacrifices for their religion Voodoo they make these animal sacrifices to these gods for different reasons you can do your own research on this do I think Voodoo is a demonic religion yes I do that doesn't mean obviously that doesn't mean that you hate these people these people need prayer but you can't just take over all these people from another country and expect it to work not to mention it doesn't fix the problems of that country and there's more people left in Haiti that we can bring over it's not racist to acknowledge that this is a problem it's not racist to talk about these things that are happening this is not just white Americans saying this is Black Americans you can look at the people in Springfield Ohio saying that you all just want to joke about Trump and say that he's crazy for saying that this is happening instead of actually checking at all to see if this is happening you want to make jokes F about these things well what if it were happening to you and your community and no it's beyond eating their pets even though that is bad enough what they have done to our country by allowing these millions and millions of people to come into our country and look at what's happening to the towns all over the United States and a lot of towns don't want to talk not going to be Aurora or Springfield a lot of towns don't want to talk about it because they're so embarrassed by it in Springfield they're eating the dogs the people that came in they're eating the cats they're eating they're eating the pets of the people that live there and this is what's happening in our country just want to clarify here you bring up Springfield Ohio and ABC News did reach out to the city manager there uh he told us there had been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed injured or abused by individuals within the Immigrant community
