Haiti and the Dominican Republic: One island, two worlds

Interesting tidbits on Haiti's history...hadn't realized this...

Why is Haiti considerably poorer?
Haiti won its independence after a long revolution that destroyed a lot of the country. They were then required to pay a large indemnity to France or else many countries—including the United States—refused to acknowledge Haiti for fear that it would encourage an American slave revolt. More recently, both Haiti and the Dominican Republic were occupied by the United States, but Haiti was occupied for much longer. By the time the U.S. pulled out in 1934, Haiti's own institutions had atrophied.

How have deforestation and soil erosion impacted Haiti?
Deforestation has drastically worsened the impact of hurricanes and tropical storms. On the southern border between the countries, you can see the green forest stops and it's barren on the Haitian side.
Yes. They stripped the countryside bare. Don't forget the brutal dictatorships of Papa and Baby Doc Duvalier and the secret police, the Ton Ton Macoute. Other modern day murderous black tyrants include Idi Amin in Uganda.
 
Answer me this, why the difference on the same island?
One side of the island a shit hole the other side of the same island a popular tourist destination.

"Tourist destination" huh?

Isn't that where Lush Rimjob went with a carton of Viagra? "Tourist", wink wink.

Fun fact: Haiti was the second independent republic in the Americas, after the US. And it took us fifty-eight years to officially recognize that.
The shithole side is 95% black. The other is multiracial.

That is idiotic.

The reason's for the differences are more complex then that starting with basic geography.

This divergence in fortunes has many causes, starting with geography. The Dominican Republic is the greener, rainier side of the island and has better farmland. France, Haiti’s colonial overlord, imported vast numbers of slaves to work the sugar-cane fields. Spanish rule of Santo Domingo, as it was known, was less brutal, in part because Spain had more lucrative possessions in other parts of Latin America to exploit. When Haiti gained independence in 1804 it was an overpopulated plantation economy. The Dominican Republic started out as a society of small farmers. It has retained closer ties with its former Spanish masters than Haiti has with France.
If geography was the problem, why were the French able to grow cane on it for so long?

Slave labor.
The reason stated was that it was poor farmland.

Sugar cane doesn't require rich farmland. But it's also not an easy crop to provide a sustainable income outside of large plantation style farms and Haiti no longer has those.


Agriculture in Haiti - Wikipedia
Sugar was another cash crop with a long history in Haiti. Christopher Columbus brought sugarcane to present-day Haiti on his second voyage to Hispaniola, and sugar rapidly became the colony's most important cash crop. After 1804, production never returned to pre-independence levels, but sugar production and low-level exports continued. Unlike the system in other Caribbean countries, sugar in Haiti was a cash crop raised by peasants rather than by large-scale plantations. The sugar harvest dipped to under 4 million tons by the early 1970s, but it rebounded to nearly 6 million tons of cane by the middle of the decade with a sharp increase in the world price of the commodity. Lower world prices and structural problems combined to cause a drop in sugar output in the 1980s; by the end of the decade, sugarcane covered fewer than 114,000 hectares of the coastal plains, and it yielded fewer than 4.5 million tons annually.[4]

Further expansion of the sugar industry faced serious deeprooted obstacles. For example, the production cost of Haitian sugar was three times more than the world price in the 1980s. Shifts in the world sugar market, caused mainly by the international substitution of corn-based fructose for sugarcane, exerted further pressure on Haitian producers. One result of this situation was the practice of importing sugar, which was then reexported to the United States under the Haitian sugar quota. Reductions in Haiti's quota during the 1980s, however, limited exchanges of this sort.[4]

Total sugar exports dropped from 19,200 tons in 1980 to 6,500 tons in 1987. In 1981, 1982, and 1988 Haiti exported no sugar. Haiti's four sugar mills closed temporarily on several occasions during the decade. The oldest mill, the Haitian American Sugar Company (HASCO), was the only plant that maintained a large cane plantation. Realizing the dim future for sugar, outside development agencies proposed alternatives to sugar, such as soybeans, for Haiti's plains.[4]
Then they should have developed themselves differently, shouldn't they have. Like I say, others did it.

hmmm....murderous black tyrants. Why the need to make that distinction?

Hint: murderous tyrants cross racial/ideological/ethnic and religious divides.
Because some are making the POTUS' statements out to be racist. We are discussing reasons why Haiti is a shithole. Murderous black tyrants is another reason.

So it's your fault? The US did all that and bombed Japan into nuclear waste, and look at them today.

You're going to have to do better.

You seem to always blame race for lack of development.

Interesting how that goes no?

You also seem utterly ignorant about the fact that "black countries" include a wide variety of cultures and peoples.

"Tourist destination" huh?

Isn't that where Lush Rimjob went with a carton of Viagra? "Tourist", wink wink.

Fun fact: Haiti was the second independent republic in the Americas, after the US. And it took us fifty-eight years to officially recognize that.


I love Rush....

He kicks liberal ass day in and day out...

And he is funny as hell doing it.

And apparently he goes to the DR for sex. Or in the euphemism, "tourism".


I am sure he can get all the sex he wants right

here in the good ole USA....

Hell he Fu%ks you liberals every day...

So you have no answer as to why they cannot create a single successful nation.

There are many successful "black" nations - particularly when you measure success not in comparison to other nations but from where they were before which is a more realistic assessment. When you consider history as well as difficult geography - African nations have come a long way.

Sub-Saharan Africa has suffered from some of the most catastrophic geographical and climatic disadvantage and much of it is far more arid then you would think. That puts some rather significant limits on agriculture.

Other parts of Africa get plenty of water, however the wet tropical regions also have notoriously poor soils. There are other, more subtle geographical factors that hold the continent back from development such as a smooth coastline offering little in the way of deep-water harbors and the poor navigability of most of its major rivers.

I suspect though you are not interested in real answers to complex problems when a simple accusation of "blacks are incapable" is what you are looking for.

"Much of the African continent has been undergoing a leap from Iron Age conditions — broadly analogous, arguably and in some ways, to the Gauls and Germans of Caesar’s day — to the modern age, all within less than a century. This is, surely, something worth acknowledging."
 
Answer me this, why the difference on the same island?

"Tourist destination" huh?

Isn't that where Lush Rimjob went with a carton of Viagra? "Tourist", wink wink.

Fun fact: Haiti was the second independent republic in the Americas, after the US. And it took us fifty-eight years to officially recognize that.


I love Rush....

He kicks liberal ass day in and day out...

And he is funny as hell doing it.

And apparently he goes to the DR for sex. Or in the euphemism, "tourism".


I am sure he can get all the sex he wants right

here in the good ole USA....

Hell he Fu%ks you liberals every day...

I am sure if that were true the fat fuck wouldn't be scurrying off to the DR with a suitcase full of Viagra.

He's a slut.
