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.

If Haiti was burned to the ground there would be no visible difference in the before and after pictures.
Haiti is NOT a shit hole. Of course not.
Perhaps Haiti’s problems exist because it is said they sold their souls to the devil in return for the overthrow of their French overlords.
The men/boys there impregnate girls as young as 10-11. I have seen them. What is your solution?
I have also encountered a woman of about age 40 begging for a hysterectomy - turns out because she was pregnant.

i really don’t understand the point of ever posting anything from TheRoot on FR ... TheRoot is an uber-leftist, howling-moon, nutter outfit whose rantings are not even worth studying to “understand” what the left is up to ...
This. Christianity vs. Satanic.
DR is very mixed racially. Those from the Far East, to Middle East, and of course those of Spanish descent and Natives. They also have a border problem with Haitians coming in illegally.
Aren't we against that?
However, Haitians were screwed before the earthquake so they're not substantially worse off than they were.
However, when the Haitian prople started to clamor for their relief, the Clintons responded by forcing the corrupt Dominican government to open the border and allow the poorest and most criminal element to swarm Dominican cities, take away jobs, reduce wages, multiply the crime rate and introduce exotic diseases thought under control. Kind of reminds you of Mexico, doesn't it?
Dominicans are up to their elbows in Haitians with no relief in sight.
“The resistance is chock full of retards.”
Maybe God wants us to have a second civil war for the purpose of raising the average intelligence.
It’s a law of economics. When you have a high labor supply and a low capital supply you have low wages. That’s Haiti. They’ve got 9 million people squeezed into a very small land area and virtually no economic resources to support them.
Brilliant -- it's the obvious solution.
Maybe even the Final Solution.
And that reminds me of.. of... help me out here...
Haiti is its own oppressor. Whitey has poured millions into that hell hole and it’s still a hell hole.
To change the subject that picture reminds me of all the child labor opportunities when do-gooders chase child sweatshops out.
I pretty much agree with you on that. It’s just a self-indulgent opportunity to pour obvious contempt on the obviously contemptible, which really does no earthly good for anyone.
thanks. here is an interesting article about food problems in the South during the Civil War.

Can’t forget the rule of Papa Doc, President of Haiti from 1957 to 1971. That set them back. Then, when he died, the leftards were all over them like flies on pig poop.
Seriously?
You could throw a stone at a board while blindfolded and find a better solution.
For one, moral education. For another, bring them into the modern world and require they participate in a viable economy. Why couldn't they develop a real tourist industry by making their country more attractive to the world; establish the rule of law, create a safe environment?
The soft tyranny of lowered expectations becomes liberals, not those who claim to be Conservative. Decimating them through birth control is naked racism and genocide.
” Haiti suffers from a worldwide collusion between America and European countries intent on making the tropical paradise suffer. “
Har!
The Dominicans, who live on the other side of that rock absolutely HATE the Haitians. No reason to wonder why it is self evident.
