Haiti a country of nearly 12 million people in the Caribbean is on the brink of total State collapse around 200 0:06 different heavily armed gangs have managed to seize control over large swats of the country's territory and are operating with near impunity while some 0:13 of the more heavily armed gangs that are more similar to paramilitaries have managed to seize control over as much as 90% of hades's capital and largest city 0:20 Port of Prince these gangs have been able to completely overpower what little is left in the country of the former 0:26 Haitian government some of the larger and more heavily armed ones have even managed to establish roadblocks and 0:31 checkpoints between Porta Prince and the country's largest airport and between Porta Prince and the country's primary 0:36 Maritime ports and oil terminals by doing so they have in effect become capable of holding the entire country as 0:42 a hostage by dominating Hades access to the outside world and access to Imports of crucial supplies and oil there's 0:49 hardly even a Haitian government left in the country to speak of that's actually capable of fighting back against them 0:54 because there aren't even any elected government officials remaining in the country at all now the most recently elected president of P jovenel moisy was 1:01 assassinated 2 and 1/2 years ago now back in July of 2021 by still unidentified gunmen who raided his own 1:08 private residence in fact no elections of any kind have been held in Haiti since 2016 nearly 8 years ago now as 1:15 before Moy was assassinated he chose to continually delay the Haitian elections that were supposed to take place in 2019.....

Indeed.
I understand his sentiment. Let’s just go with historically indigenous people and not ones imported for slavery.
Too many Italians.....(ducking for cover)
The protestant work ethic is real.
The Spanish priests were trying to show compassion for the suffering indigenous people, who when enslaved died rather quickly, sometimes from disease, sometimes from mass suicides. So they imported Africans, who were believed to be more hardy. Later, British privateers and later privates captured some of these slaves together with the other booty, and in 1619 auctioned off indentured servant contracts in Jamestown for those negroes, and much later the limited contracts turned into lifelong enslavement, only of negroes.
They came with benefits, too. Their music has changed the world, and the writings of Frederic Douglas, Harriet Jacobs, Booker T. Washington, Thomas Sowell and Langston Hughes, for example, have had a huge impact.
We could argue/discuss the positives and negatives all day long, I guess. But from my perspective this country would have been far better off without the introduction of slavery.
Just the ones that ruined the “New World”.
What I want is for all Wakandans to remain only in Wakanda.
DR could return the favor. But who would want Haiti?
Ever seen a closeup view of the border area from the air? DR side has lush, managed forests. Haiti side is an open air latrine. Why, do you suppose, that is?
It boggles my mind that other white people give me crap for saying I don’t want to live with black people.
I’m from Philly, I gave it a chance.
If you could bet on poor decision making by blacks, you’d be rich beyond your dreams.
*Haiti side is an open air latrine.*
You are too kind.
There’s always ‘The Final Solution’ and I’d call it just that after 200+ years of failure. Export all young women to countries that have French speaking people. Those left behind can ‘wither on the vine’. Heard it somewhere. It would take 20 years. The DR can have it while we use it for a work farm/penal colony. Pay 3rd world wages like those who work on the cruise ships.
By “we” I mean as Americans as in giving Israel foreign aid ever since it’s creation as a state.
And what, as an American, do we get for our effort?
Endless wars in the Far and Middle East, making enemies we would never have had if we minded our own business.
Israel has the only lobby group, AIPAC, that doesn’t have to register as foreign agents. Why is that so?
Let the Rothschilds and their kin fund Israel and it’s wars.
Yep, Haiti ... a Democratic Plantation.
if there was a successful Black Country anywhere in the world there wouldn’t be this problem.
Because they’re Africans. Next question.
Race relations 101...
“Two groups of people whose members can easily be identified as belonging to one or the other group AND whose AVERAGE group IQ is significantly different will never be able to peacefully coexist together.”
Think about it for a moment and you will see that it’s true. In fact we’re living it.
There’s only one real solution - separation. Each side should go their own way and control their destiny as they see fit. It’s best for both.
It’s a sad and unfortunate reality, but a reality nonetheless... and it won’t go away - things will only get worse.
One thing I noticed about this video, they spin Aristide as being just a sweet priest (which they don’t mention) who wanted reparations from France. He was actually advocating violence towards the Haitian upper class from the getgo. They also call those who rebelled against Aristide “extreme right wingers,” but I couldn’t help noticing that the protestors at the presidential palace and celebrating triumphally after his resignation were all totally black. I thought all of Haiti’s right wing were mulatto.
The video was informative in many ways, but the authors are obviously left-wing to some extent. Even so, they provided plenty of useful facts in an accessible format, but much of what they say has got to be taken with a tumbler of salt.
“Because they’re Africans.”
OK. Here’s my next question.
African? Like Hitler, the Greek “Colonel,” Colonel Chivingston, and Robespierre, just to name a few?
“By “we” I mean as Americans as in giving Israel foreign aid ever since it’s creation as a state.
And what, as an American, do we get for our effort?”
Totally on subject, and totally accurate. Riiight.
US gets intelligence, technological advances, and a politically stable partner in the ME. And not for “trillions,” either. Not even half or a quarter of a trillion. And the US came rather late to giving Israel any aid at all. Endless wars? You mean like that “endless war” in June of 1967, which we won decisively with very little help from the US. Our chief ally at the time was France! The US was providing spare parts to Jordan, one of our assailants. When we kicked the a@@es of Jordan, Egypt and Syria at once with an efficiency and speed that would have done Bruce Lee proud, LBJ figured we were bankable and useful and started cozying up and offering aid as well as collaboration on military R&D and intelligence.
You want to cut all US aid to Israel? Fine. I’m all for that, too, so we can hear less from chuckleheads like you, to say the least. But there is a way you can cut off Israel right now. Stop letting us live rent-free in your head, and stop your POTUS from micromanaging our imperative war against Hamas, Iran and Hizbollah.
I agree completely.
