At the same time that localities across the country are in the process of erasing monuments to Confederates and slave-owners, New York City is preparing to honor a black man who ordered the murder of every white man, woman, and child under his control, resulting in 3,000 to 5,000 race homicides.
Seth Barron reports at City Journal:
In New York City, street co-namings – in which a thoroughfare takes on an additional, ceremonial name in honor of a distinguished figure – rarely generate much fuss, and their approval is typically pro forma. But yesterday, a city council committee voted to co-name a street in Brooklyn after Jean-Jacques Dessalines, emperor of Haiti after the island won its independence from France in 1804.
The council's designation of a two-mile stretch of Rogers Avenue in Brooklyn as Jean-Jacques Dessalines Boulevard sparked some controversy because Dessalines was an enthusiastic advocate of racial murder. Following the defeat of Napoleon's forces and their retreat from Hispaniola, Dessalines named himself Governor-General-for-Life and decided to wipe the slate clean. Heeding the words of his personal secretary Louis Boisrond-Tonnerre, framer of the Haitian Act of Independence, who declaimed, "we should use the skin of a white man as a parchment, his skull as an inkwell, his blood for ink, and a bayonet for a pen," Dessalines ordered the murder of virtually every white man, followed soon afterward by all white women and children, in the new nation. Between 3,000 and 5,000 people were butchered in a few months.

As Barron observes, Haiti's history is bloody and terrible, and there was no shortage of horrendous acts against the slaves brought to Haiti to cultivate sugarcane.

Now THAT.
That is one helluva pussy hat. Complete with the fur trim.
Dreams From My Father.
So they want a (black) racist as a hero? How very leftist of them.
Statue of Robert E. Lee? Better tear that down.
Street named after this genocidal madman? Of course! Let’s stick it to Whitey!
Dessalines killed every white person of French descendant living in Haiti. He left alone non-French persons, for example, Americans and British.
Dessalines also lead an army into modern day Santo Domingo to murder French who escaped to the Spanish controlled part of the island. He prohibited whites from owning property in Haiti.
Rustoleum. Paintball.
What? No “Papa Doc Parkway”?
I suppose next we will have “Pol Pot Parkway”.
bkmk
They laughed when I said that the left wants to eliminate Whitey, after taking all his money.
Next: a statue of nelson mandela? One of Cyril Ramaphosa who is leading the campaign to take all of Whitey’s property, and then kill Whitey?
Love it. “Pol Pot Highway”, lined with human skulls.
Then comes “Hitler Highway”.
Also, “Reds Road”.
and since it is NYC, how about “Genocide Gardens” - you’ll love the Gardenias?
Idi Amin Avenue, where the best butcher shops are located.
And brought starvation to his people, when those morons destroyed all the coffee crops and plants. Haiti has never recovered from the massacre of its whites.
Not just your garden variety racist-a mass murderer of men, women, and children.
Dessalines is merely a role model for what they’d like to have happen to American whites.
Well they can take the money, but it won’t be long before it’s worthless as currency, with no one to provide the goods and services upon which to spend it. The few (hopefully leftist) whites who remain would be quasi- or outright slave labor.
Liberals/Progressives of today are basically Communists.
