I’m just curious what does race have to do with a country being poor, corrupt, and dysfunctional?

Granted the nation of Haiti is almost entirely black and its ethnicity, (I guess they don’t take in very many immigrants themselves.) Although it might have something to do with the fact that when the country was founded the revolting black slaves literally killed off every white person they could find.

But all of that really doesn’t matter in so much that their recent and past governments of themselves has been extraordinarily corrupt and dysfunctional.

The 1804 Haiti massacre =>

______

The massacre, which took place throughout Haiti, occurred from early January 1804 until 22 April 1804 and resulted in the death of 3,000 to 5,000 men, women, and children.[4]

Squads of soldiers moved from house to house, torturing and killing entire families.[5] Even whites who had been friendly and sympathetic to the black population were imprisoned and later killed.[6] A second wave of massacres targeted white women and children.[6]
