#haitihistory Since Elena is retired, she has the luxury of being able to read articles in detail. Haiti is the economic basket case of the Western hemisphere. A lot of the population is truly illiterate and cannot read and write. Oddly, Haiti shares an island with the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is not a rich country. On the other hand, it is not an economic basket case. What went wrong with Haiti? It all started when the island had a 10% European population and a 90% African population. Brutal slavery was practiced. There was a slave uprising. They won and slavery was abolished in this country. This event happened around the time of the French Revolution. When Napoleon came to power, the former slave owners protested about their grievous financial losses. Napoleon mounted one military operation that failed. On the second try, he occupied this country. He forced the former slaves to pay reparations to the slave owners using a vehicle of high-interest-rate loans. For 80 years any money made in Haiti was used to pay reparations. When the French left, the US occupied the island for 20 years and took a lot of money. After this occupation, dictators ran the country and stole whatever was left. I hope that all of you learned something new today! The New York Times devoted two years of careful research in several different countries to assemble data for this article.
Are you shitin' me? No mention of the over thrown presidents? No mention of Haiti's independence, then the myriad of overthrows and coups?
You're saying that Haiti is like it is now, because of what the French and Slave trading did to them?
Dominican Republic is a super lush Tropical paradise, with lush rich Jungle vegetation and overgrowth. There's a line right down the middle of Espanola , where you see lush green meets clear cut dirt, filth and liter trash. Haiti is covered in trash and every tree has been cut down to make charcoal.
Haiti has some fine people but they also have some of the world's biggest fucking dumbasses, that will create the biggest shithole you ever saw and proceed to wallow in it. They did it there in Haiti and they do it in South Florida. These useless sorry fucks are nobody's fault but their own. Do you know who's probably more to blame, the bleeding heart Liberals that would respond to what I wrote with "How dare you!", while the good and great Haitians I mentioned, would say. Leave the man alone he speaks the truth!
Liberalism is the reason Haiti is where it is today. What Hillary Clinton did to Haiti after the last major Earth Quake and Hurricane, is what the Fucking Liberals have been doing to that country for centuries. They get away with it, because of the stupid ignorant class that helps them destroy the country.
niggas everywhere, so according to liberals this place should be a prospering economic paradise and everyone good at basketball. all that diversity breathtaking.
