As Haiti Burns, Never Forget: White People Did That
The Root ^ | July 9, 2018 | Michael Harriot

Posted on 07/10/2018 3:50:58 PM PDT by Trump20162020

On Saturday, the U.S. Embassy in Haiti warned American citizens, volunteers and missionaries in Haiti to stay in place and hunker down after angry demonstrators attempted to get past a barricade and security guards at a Port-au-Prince hotel.

CNN reports that American Airlines, JetBlue and the Spirit Airlines (whose official slogan is: “We’re like a Greyhound bus with wings”) canceled all flights to Haiti following unrest in the country related to rising fuel prices, corruption and widespread poverty.

When comparing them side-by-side, the story of the American Revolution ain’t got shit on the history of Haiti. For black people, Haiti represents the most beautiful story of strength, resistance and freedom that has ever been told. It is the story of a people who thrust off the chains of bondage and took their liberty from the hands of their oppressors.

For others, Haiti is a tragedy. There are some, whose names do not deserve mention, who even refer to it as a “shithole country.” But when discussing anything having to do with the country of Haiti, we should never forget that every bit of struggle in Haiti is related to the legacy of slavery, capitalism and American hypocrisy.

As unrest envelops Haiti once again, it is important for us to remember that Haiti suffers from a worldwide collusion between America and European countries intent on making the tropical paradise suffer. To blame Haiti’s problems on white people is not a harebrained hypothesis. It is an unbelievably treacherous fact that it often sounds like a kooky conspiracy theory.

Michael Harriot is awesome! He reminds me of a black "Ed Anger" from the fake Weekly World News paper from back in the day, the one that always had Batboy on the cover.

I can't tell if it's a parody or not but if it isn't, he should be!

They have been independent since 1804, not long after America’s independence:

WE WERE A COLONY, TOO

Yeah, that explains why another nation on the same island is in much better shape and has the largest economy in the Caribbean.

Have you seen the aerial footage of the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic? One has lush forest and the other has been stripped bare.

When French honkies were in charge of Haiti, at that time it was very widely known as the Real Up and Comer:

Think Switzerland, but with ganja (I guess..?).

They rose up and butchered all the whites.

Outside of Montreal I once knew the emigree daughter of the Chief of the Haitian secret police, the Tonton Macoutes. The guy worked for Papa Doc Duvalier.

She married a white guy and henpecked and pushed him around all day:

The guy was totally cowed, acted like he was in a concentration camp.

When the Haitians rebelled, they murdered every white person there. Men, women, children.

They are welcome to the hell they’ve created.

1804 Haiti massacre

The 1804 Haiti massacre was carried out against the remaining white population of native French people and French Creoles (or Franco-Haitians) in Haiti by Haitian soldiers under orders from Jean-Jacques Dessalines. He had decreed that all suspected of conspiring in the acts of the expelled army should be put to death.[1]

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.[2] Squads of soldiers moved from house to house, torturing and killing entire families.[3] Even whites who had been friendly and sympathetic to the black population were imprisoned and later killed.[4] A second wave of massacres targeted white women and children.[4]

Throughout the early-to-mid nineteenth century, these events were well known in the United States, where they were called “the horrors of St. Domingo”. In addition, many refugees had come to the U.S. from Saint-Domingue, settling in New Orleans, Charleston, New York, and other coastal cities. These events polarized Southern U.S. public opinion on the question of the abolition of slavery.[5][6]

Haiti killed all the Whites and later all the coloreds (mixed race) people in the French colony and early days of sad Haiti. But they still find a way to blame Whitey.
