Haiti won the war against the Cacuettes. Why did they agree to be indebted to them?

[RaspberryFitted]

Worthless? They fought and carved their own state in a new and completely different region from their indigenous lands. They, as a group, weren't even supposed to exist now, since France was just importing slaves, working them to death, and then replacing them with more, to follow the same process. The only reason they still exist is because of their revolution. Plus, even after paying France they were still able to stabilize themselves.

Some of you are so shortsighted. You only see things based on now, and that's why you are easy to impress and manipulate.

If someone else of said the Black Panther Party and Malcolm X were worthless because Black Americans are still at the bottom, he would be huffing and puffing

You are fuccin high. Fighting for your freedom and winning is never worthless.

Regardless of where the country is now what they managed to achieve something that has never happened before nor since in history. They defeated their oppressors. The Haitian revolution is the  only case of that happening in history. Fact. Period. People don't appreciate how much of a gigantic achievement that was. Haitians will always get my respect for that. Not that it means anything.

Exactly. America got HELP from beating England and had investments placed into their coffers and infrastructure once they got became a nation. Not to mention still free labor


Haiti got railroaded. Plus the US and France made sure Haiti failed to make an example of it so that shyt would never happen in other places.

And when folks demanded payback, the US helped stifle that shyt with a coup (Aristide)

Freedom would be on colonizers terms.

Slavery in Haiti was literally hell on earth. They freed themselves from being worked to death. Then they kicked out the Spanish. And they helped liberate South America. What part of that is overrated? The polish impact is what's overrated.

haitian revolution

 

[Swirv]

France threatened to blow the entire island up 20 years after getting their asses kicked.

Then the US raided their Treasury to create Citibank (then known as Bank of NY) in the 1900's when they occupied Haiti. Setting them back Centuries. Like 80% of its budget for 200 years went to payback stifling them economically.

No trade partners, paying back slave owners and their treasury raided.

It's the most tragic case of freedom that's ever happened

I did not know this

That's usually the people I see making negative comments under the YouTube videos. It's like the Haitian Revolution's a blow to their feeling of white superiority.

Bro reparations matters less to me than being recognized as our own group.

Anything that goes against what others perceive a black nation is "supposed to be like" there always has to be a "non black reason for that success"

-Haiti won a war against France...b..but the Polish
-Jamaicans freed from Britain, b..b...but the British were just being nice. Ignoring the fact that the constant rebellions and wars were one of the main reasons Britain decided it was no longer worth it.
- Mali was a successful empire? Nah its really was because of the Arabs, ignoring the fact that they still practiced traditional African religions there aswell
-Signs of an advanced civilization in ancient africa? The ancient Greeks must've came at some point in time and taught the lowly negroes.

The funny thing is dude is literally feeding right into that mindset without even noticing it.
