I agree that they should embrace the principle of do for self, what I was saying was look at PR, look at Jamaica, hell look at DR on the same island as Haiti, why don't they have the same degree of poverty as Haiti? It's because Haiti has been blacklisted by the west just like Cuba, for a number of reasons but IMO mainly out of animosity due to Haiti's history of being the first freed slave nation, with their warrior spirits and all their revolts and revolutions. The main reason why none of the other islands/nations I mentioned don't suffer the same poverties as Haiti is because the US floods these places with tourism money ,with the exception of Cuba but they eat pretty well of their imports (ever wonder why it's a felony to do trade with Cuba? It's because they refuse to bow down to the west just like Haiti). I'm not saying the US should just start sendin all their money to Haiti but there is no reason for that level of poverty to be taking place less than 100 miles from the shores of what is thought to be the richest and most prosperous nation in the world. We can easily stimulate their economy with our table scraps. Americans love carribbean island get always, you've never stopped to ask youself why Haiti isn't a big tourist attraction like Jamaica, The Bahamas, Barbados, etc?
on Aristide for asking France reperations.
...even tho he mentioned the most insignificant local attractions like a local bakery.
