Apparently you are not understanding what I am saying. They won their freedom...yeah!! Now lets kill white women and children.

Do you NOT see how other governments would respond to that? Can you not see how France would respond to that? Yes, they would get their pound of flesh and they did.

I am not saying it was right, to burden Haiti like that. I am saying why it happened and why Haiti remains a cesspool to this day and WILL ALWAYS BE!

France’s response was to demand cash from Haiti two decades after independence — not for French lives lost — but for the value of the slaves and the revenue they earned as slaves. Haiti is of course a miserable country today, with France’s predatory exactions a contributing factor to one degree or another.
