"The bahamian people looked pretty similar to haitians" is the type of irrelevant statement a lack of knowledge produces.

Both Bahamians and Haitians are primarily of Yoruba(Benin and Nigerian) descent which is ethnically different than most American Blacks. I think his intent was that say there is nothing racially about Haitians holding them back, which seems to have backfired on him. It is a pretty simply thing for someone in the Bahamas to get a tourist visa to the US. For Haitians, not so much.
