“Steve is usually on point however on the topic of Haiti we disagree. There can be no discussion about Haiti or its current condition without placing things in context. This means speaking about its historical connection with the US. Steve didn’t mention how France exploited Haiti and put them in debt, the American Marines invasion in 1915 and subsequent occupation, the American supported dictatorships, the Clintons and their exploitation of Haiti but to name a few and of coarse the CIA’s backed coup in 2004 to name a few. America, Canada and France have exploited and devastated the first Black free republic. Nowhere in US history books will you read about Haiti’s defeat of France and how that ties into the US purchasing the Louisiana territory. Nowhere in French history books will you read about Haiti defeating Napoleon and his armies. This is all payback to the decedents of the revolutionaries of the first Black free nation which sparked slave revolts and the call for freedom and independence across the world and the end to the European slave trade.”
