Racism and Haiti:

1. Right after Haiti gained its independence, it turned into a brutal and racist country.

In the Constitution of 1805, Dessalines, the Founder of Haiti, inserted the following precept: "No white man, whatever his nation, may step on this territory as master or owner and may not acquire any property in the future. "

Dessalines agreed wholeheartedly with his aide, Boisrond-Tonnerre, who stated, "For our declaration of independence, we should have the skin of a white man for parchment, his skull for an inkwell, his blood for ink, and a bayonet for a pen!"

Accordingly, whites were raped and slaughtered wholesale under the rule of Dessalines (ethnic cleansing 101) until not single one was left on the island.

2. In recent history, the United States invaded and helped install an democratically elected president of Haiti. The US has poured over 2 billion dollars in aid into Haiti and turned over the transition/running of the country to the UN (just like most of the left wants us to do in Iraq). Tell me another country in the western hemisphere that the US has tried to help so much and has received so little recognition.

The French deserved it. When it came to brutality and racism, the French merely got repaid in kind. Haiti was as clear a case as you will ever get of a slaveowning aristocracy reaping what is sowed.
