'Big mistake': South Florida Haitians slam Trump's false claim about immigrants eating pets
Briefly

"Being Haitian is a blessing. Never let a classmate, coworker or even a vice president nominee and former President tell you different," stated Nathan Gabriel, emphasizing the pride within the Haitian community in the face of derogatory remarks.
"If there was ever a time to stand and defend ourselves, it is right now... especially when the comments come from anyone in a position of power, especially a former president and a current vice president candidate..." Gabriel urged attendees to recognize the gravity of the situation.
About 200 individuals rallied in North Miami against the baseless claims made by the Trump campaign, highlighting the concerns of South Florida's Haitian community regarding misinformation about their culture and heritage.
The Trump campaign's accusations about Haitian immigrants allegedly abducting and eating local wildlife are not only false, but they also evoke long-standing racist stereotypes that have historically marginalized diverse communities.
