Only that Mrs. Palki has "forgotten" some important things. 1. that the first black ruler Jean-Jacques Dessalines immediately proclaimed the empire of Haiti and by no means had equality for all in mind. 2. that there were numerous massacres of the white population during and after the revolution. 3. that there was a civil war between blacks and mulattos. 4. the USA occupied the country in 1915 because there were more than a dozen governments in Haiti between 1883 and 1915. The country was constantly torn apart by riots, killings and unrest. Most recently, on July the 28th, 1915, President Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam was lynched by a crowd of people.

Why they always leave 1821 and 1844? In 1821, the east part of the island kicked out the Spanish for their first independence, only to be invaded by Haiti looking for slaves and resources to pay the debt. 1844 after 2 decades of slavery and HALF the population dead, they rebelled a second time for their independence.

Possessing the state of mind to risk all and explore beyond the African continent such that humanity could exist everywhere on this planet… "African culture is African culture, no matter where it’s found." African culture is human culture (as are Asian & European cultures, these are just labels) - if mistakes are made it’s because humanity has fallen short of the potential it should be aspiring to. What’s happening in Haiti is ridiculously tragic and fundamentally avoidable 🖤
