I know this isn’t from Africa but suppose it’s a bit related but saw a video recommends to me on YouTube from 9 years ago about Haiti having to make cookies out of mud to survive
Saw people say to stop having so many kids and how Haiti went to shit after the 1801 revolution (same in some African countries!) and people retort saying no one has the right to tell someone they can’t have kids and how it’s all white peoples fault
It’s annoying though how people want to settle in absolutely inhospitable environments unsuited to sustain human life then breed like rabbits and get angry when everyone doesn’t try to support them
That's not entirely correct.
If we were talking about the Sahara desert, then the population would be killed by the environment itself, they wouldn't breed as much as they could if it was that hostile.
Haiti is a beautiful country, and it was beautiful when France ruled it.
Haiti is filthy and falling apart because of Haitians.
Not because the land is inhospitable.
Just like how Zimbabwe made poverty out of wealth and famine out of the breadbasket of Africa that was Rhodesia, and just as South Africa is about to plunge into a new set of miseries with its landgrabs, Haiti has only itself to blame for this.
Think I remember how they cut down all their trees and vegetation to cash in on charcoal but then killed their agriculture and environment
Remember seeing the aerial views and the Dominican Republic was lush and the border turns into a patch of dirt and trash past it
Let me correct, _some_ parts of Haiti are still beautiful around the coast. I'll concede that I exaggerated, but the Haitians themselves have not helped.
Typically killing off the educated, literate, rulers of society in a massive slave revolt don't end well regardless of whether or not they burn down all the trees.
They wanted independence, but independence from what? Are they truly independent? Are they independent from civil war, crime, famine, disease, poverty?
I don't agree with slavery as a system, and sugarcane harvesting is not an enviable occupation, as Haiti primarily produced Sugarcane and cash crops underneath French colonial rule.
They got their independence from France during the fires of revolution on the continent and only kept it because there were bigger things going on in Paris.
It's the same cruelty, same sickness, same horrific conditions - actually, I suppose it's much worse in all three by this point - but they removed France, so it's considered brave and heroic.
Their independence from France, but not from the above-mentioned plagues
Rhodesia, Angola, South Africa, Algeria, Kenya... same story, every time.
Yep
Reminds me of a video I watched about Chicago
The guy was black and said that black people made a culture for themselves after slavery and its main tenant is 'fuck white people'and he said how growing up if you acted in a way they perceived as white you were ostracized or attacked
Yep
I know an old black guy in the section 8 apartments, old disabled nam vet, he's the same way
Always telling me about these fuckin jitterbugs blasting rap at midnight when he's trying to sleep
But muh black people can't be racist
That was my room mate in the army
if we deployed him getting kia'ed would be a god send to me and could finally get some sleep
Why would she apologize? She dindu nuffin
Is it me or the pic of the dindu looks like a wax sculpture?
