In case you were wondering where alleged racist Sarah Berrouet got her alleged racism, look no further than her own mother. On April 22, 2013, Dorise Berrouet, the wife of North Miami Beach council candidate Jean D. Berrouet posted:
Google translate was useless with this comment in Creole, so I asked someone who reads, writes and speaks Creole fluently, and he translated Berrouet’s comment as:
“A vote for a Haitian in NMB is a vote for change for our children’s future. Go vote early from may 2nd to may 5th. You can vote.”
Using Common Sense, I translated this comment into plain old American, and I came up with:
“Vote for a Haitian. Any Haitian. It doesn’t matter who it is or what his qualifications are, as long as he is Haitian.”
Sorry, folks, but this is RACISM. Plain and simple!
ON MAY 7, 2013, PLEASE VOTE RESPONSIBLY.

No wonder their daughter has absolutely no common sense along with being incredibly stupid. This woman is her role model. It’s amazing that the family members of a employee of the Miami Dade Public School System who is running for office is encouraging voters to vote solely based upon the fact that he’s Haitian! Not only would I never vote for someone who promotes that kind of thinking but I would think twice about having this person continue as a teacher in ANY school ANYWHERE.
I guess Antoine Moliere plans to vote more than once?
“All my votes” What’s up with that? I want my fair share of votes! How do we get more votes? How much do absentee ballots cost? Can I get them on Craigslist? Will someone pick them up so I don’t have to miss “Judge Judy”?
I’ll contact our friendly neighborhood ballot broker for you to see if he has any spare ABs left. I hope you don’t have a candidate preference, though, since they’ve probably already been bubbled in.
I think it’s more like country of originism. Were the Haitians of three colors instead of one, the message would still be the same, exactly as you translated it in plain old American English. Unfortunately the intended audience swallows it whole, as we’ve seen time and again. Even more unfortunately, they are more apt to vote (albeit blindly, as directed by their compatriots) than the vast majority of our better-educated residents.
I agree that comments are to be made but before publishing something read. It says :One vote for one Haitian in Miami beach equals change for the children’s future.” Before you go ahead a qualify comments made in another language racism. READ. and stick to google translate. Apparently it’s doing a much better job then you at understanding.
The comment was made in English. No translation was required. But thanks for trying to insult me. Better luck next time.
