Haiti has been broken for so long no one cares anymore. You can't fix a country when the residents don't want it fixed. AS far back as I can remember Haiti has been nothing but a disaster, Poppa Doc, Baby Doc, corrupt leader after corrupt leader. The DR on the other half of the island doesn't have those problems. What is the difference?Helicoptered some embassy personnel out of there last night. There is supposed to be one of those UN coalition deals led by Kenya going in to restore order, but no one wants to fund it. Not even the member states of the $5000.00 lunch countries. They care so much.
Nobody else did. When slavery was legal, almost everybody thought it was normal and moral.Pretty sure Hitler thought murdering 6 million Jews was moral too.
Of the ancestors that I know about, one was the youngest son of THE Spencer, being a fourth son, he got nothing from the family. He emigrated on an indenture sometime before the revolution. Another was Irish, he came over on a blockade runner during the ACW after being recruited to fight for the Confederacy. Once he got here, he found he was on the wrong side, deserted and fought for the Union and became one of the cavalry who won the west and married a Comanche. The other two were a Scot and a Swede. They were normal immigrants. All of them came here with nothing and ALL were members of groups that were scorned and discriminated against, but they all became Americans and worked to better themselves. As far as I know there has never been a criminal in my family. Just generations of decent people working to get ahead.Was it moral for rich whites to enslave other whites in Europe in the feudal system?
If it was, why did azwrailwhales ancestors run away?
Another white racoist autoexcuse. Slavery was never moral.
What's his excuse for Jim Crow Apartheid?
And don't try that democrats did it bs. Jim Crow was bi partisan.
Not even close...Nobody else did. When slavery was legal, almost everybody thought it was normal and moral.
And yet today in South Asia -Not even close...
The Buddha said that the buying and selling of human beings is a wrong means of livelihood for lay people (A.III,208) and he forbade monks and nuns to accept gifts of slaves or to own them (D.I,5). These teachings seem to be the oldest known prohibition against slavery. Some centuries later, the Mahàvastu condemns slavery, saying that those `who enslave beings who are without protection or refuge'will be reborn in purgatory. The Upàsaka÷ãla Såtra (3rd century CE?) says a lay man should neither buy nor sell slaves nor sell his wives and children into slavery, something husbands and fathers sometimes did when in debt or during hard times.
Pretty sure the slaves didn't think so either.
If slavery was so popular why was there fear of slave revolts?
You delude yourself into accepting this evil as moral.

He did what you suggest.... "How do you keep an idiot in suspense?"So you're saying that slavery in the US, the buying, selling and breeding of humans,
was OK
Because some Muslims did it first?
To quote you: How do you keep an idiot in suspense?Not even close...

I wouldn't know.He did what you suggest.... "How do you keep an idiot in suspense?"
We do not whine. The lying media tells you that and you are dumb enough to believe them.If you're tired of hearing us, HITF do you think we feel about hearing you right wing white nutjobs whining all the freaking time? At least blacks and trannies have a legit grievance. Whites got handed everything, still get the most of everything and you're crying because others actually get a little bit.
He’s not blaming the black victims, he’s blaming the black slavers.And back to blaming the victim, LIAR
Wrong.He’s not blaming the black victims, he’s blaming the black slavers.
They Would Have Been Killed Off by the Bloodthirsty SavagesWouldn't it have been great if White people had been racist for only one month per year since 1635?

In Africa, Black Lives Have Never Mattered and Will Never MatterWe are responsible for the facts that blacks tend to be more affluent and in better health than blacks in black majority, black run countries.
Black history, short as it is, is one of abject failure and enslavement by the superior people who had access to them.Recently there has been a trend on college campuses to create courses that discuss the concept of whiteness. Once that began, the usual suspects crawled out from under the rocks and started whining about racism against whites. Never mind that black studies departments exist; the American right must whine. Hence the current right-wing movement to cleanse our history books of everything they believe makes European descendants look bad.
In the 21st century, we must move beyond memes created by mostly far-right loudmouths. These types have some whites believing we all chose to come over here on the Mayflower. Some believe it is unfair how whites get portrayed in modern teachings. Unfair is revising history to leave out the factual record. Teaching our children the mistakes we made should not mean we are teaching them to dislike whites or being white. I and generations of other blacks endured the annual K-12 section of history about black slavery, and it did not make me hate being black. In recent years we have seen a consistent well-funded, politically supported movement by the right-wing to enforce gaslighting as a way of educating today’s students. In this movement, anything that negatively shows whites must be censored.
WHY IS AMERICA AFRAID OF BLACK HISTORY?
No one should fear a history that asks a country to live up to its highest ideals.
By Lonnie G. Bunch III
One can tell a great deal about a country by what it chooses to remember: by what graces the walls of its museums, by what monuments are venerated, and by what parts of its history are embraced. One can tell even more by what a nation chooses to forget: what memories are erased and what aspects of its past are feared. This unwillingness to understand, accept, and embrace an accurate history, shaped by scholarship, reflects an unease with ambiguity and nuance—and with truth. One frequent casualty of such discomfort is any real appreciation of the importance of African American history and culture for all Americans.
Why should anyone fear a history that asks a country to live up to its highest ideals—to “make good to us the promises in your Constitution,” as Frederick Douglass put it? But too often, we are indeed fearful. State legislatures have passed laws restricting the teaching of critical race theory, preventing educators from discussing a history that “might make our children feel guilty” about the actions and attitudes of their ancestors. Librarians around the nation feel the chilling effects of book bans. Some individuals who seek to occupy the highest office in the land fear the effects of an Advanced Placement class that explores African American history—a history that, as education officials in Florida have maintained, “lacks educational value”; a history that does not deserve to be remembered.
Rather than running from this history, we should find in it sustenance, understanding, and hope. In the end, we can’t escape the past anyway. What Joe Louis said of an opponent applies to the legacy of history: You can run, but you can’t hide.

From Cannibalism to CannabisIrrelevant.
Absent the slavers there'd be no slaves for sale.
You want MORE illegal immigrants desperate to get across the border?I am certain Obiden has the checkbook out searching hard how to dump OUR money into that craphole country.
The Hereditary Ruling Classes Have Always Been Race TraitorsAnd without African collaborators who aided the slavers in rounding up their brothers and sisters as slaves, there'd be no slaves for sale. If you are going to dig up history to use as a weapon, you ought to understand the WHOLE history, not just the part that fits your narrative.
