Is there something to this?  after the rejection of the second Prime Minister nominated by president Michel Martelly, many members of the Haitian parliament are coming out, bringing both the Race and the Class issue in Haitian society.

Senator Edwin Zenny stated yesterday: "between President Michel Martelly and a number of members of parliament there is not just a power struggle but a class and color struggle." The Senator who referred to some of the Senators as fools, also  declared that he is not responsible for the color of his skin, therefore, can not be blamed for it.

Senator Zenny of the Sud Est Department is a Lebanese descent and himself would be classified as a Mulato. According to the Senator of the Sud Est Department, Senator Moïses Jean-Charles treats him of ‘affranchi’ because of his color. Senator Zenny pointed out that both  former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and Rene Preval married mulatto women.

Recently, there has been a return of resurgence of Race and Class issues between Haitians in Haiti as well as in the Diaspora. This may have been caused by those opposed to Michel Martelly,  showing pictures of his inaugural party where most of the people in attendance were of light skin color in a sea of black-skinned Haitians in the country.

It might also have been caused by the rejection of the proposed Prime Minister, Gerard Rouzier, by the Haitian Parliament.
