Haiti: A Long History of Being a Shithole

Oooga booga booga!

By any standards, Haiti represents a very great concentration of misery and dashed hopes. In January 1804 – a key date in the history of a bedevilled country – the African slaves overthrew their French masters and declared the world’s first black republic. Haiti became an emblem of slavery’s longed-for abolition. And the slave leader, Toussaint L’Ouverture, was hailed by William Wordsworth, among other Romantics, as a “morning star” of the Americas.

Since independence, however, emperors, kings and presidents-for-life have misruled the Caribbean nation through violence and theft of public funds. The constitution is made of paper, they say, but the bayonet is made of steel.

In January 2004, I returned to Haiti for the first time in 13 years. Preparations were under way for the independence bicentenary, but no one felt much like celebrating. The capital, Port-au-Prince, looked even more dilapidated and the streets round Toussaint L’Ouverture airport appeared to have degenerated into a slum.

Familiar smells of drainage and burning rubbish hit me as I made my way to the Hotel Oloffson

Anyone else catch "wyclef jean" boo hoo hooing on fox this morning? He's down in his native cesspool cleaning up bodies or something. I was struck by something his interviewer tried to foist on a possibly uninformed viewership. The old "this place is a hellhole because of colonialism" crap. It brought to mind another island nation that is far more inhospitable and remote. The nation of Iceland. Iceland is basically a volcanic rock in the midst of icey waters. To my knowledge, it is very difficult to cultivate crops. Life there is tough and nearly impossible for the uninitiated. Iceland has an advantage over Haiti however. You guessed it. It's population consists of humans. There is the comparison in a nutshell. Haiti=90% nigger=hellhole.
Iceland=90% white=viable nation.
Both countries to my knowledge, have had their independence for centuries now. Haiti has received billions in foreign aid to no avail. Iceland receives a negligable amount in comparison. Therein lies the truth of the argument. Even someone as ignorant as "wyclef" can't ignore that.

Haiti is a failure because of niggers and no other reason. How can anyone ignore the fact that every time a disaster involves niggers they just stand around dumbstruck waiting for YT to bail them out. Then the looting, murder, and rape begins. They're nothing but parasites, just let them die.

My sentiments exactly.

looks like any nigger town USA. but why is it niggers in the U.S. stopped carrying shit on their heads?

Haitian niggers hate YT with a passion even while they sit on their asses waiting to get bailed out by him. Like niggers everywhere, the more you help them, the more they resent you.
