re: #198 Alouette

So how is that the fault of the U.S. and other western nations? And hasn’t the U.S. and other western nations at various times, supported some Haitian dictators? So the U.S. is at fault for not supporting Haiti, and at fault for supporting Haiti?

Over 200 years of persecution, looting, exploitation, invasion, occupation and blacklisting. And never mind the fact that it was the American 20 year occupation that destroyed their constitutional system and created the army which took over after the US left and led to dictatorships that were likewise supported by the US.

Not to mention abducting the slaves and placing them on an Island that has limited resources, and the horrors of their treatment prior to the revolt.

Haiti is not in Africa, the Haitian are not indigenous, and the influence of America and other European nations has been vile and abusive up until recent times.

That does not mean the US is responsible for all problems world wide, but in Haiti, the US responsibily is direct and significant.
