Of course, all of this started with the Haiti Massacre of 1804, when Jean-Jacques Dessalines ordered the indiscriminate bloody massacre of all white Haitians, despite the majority of whom being openly in opposition to the rule of King Louis XIV and highly sympathetic to the anti-slavery movement.

Good luck finding any of that in any modern woke-plagued history books, but regardless, for the nation that still worships Dessalines as some sort of noble hero, such utter calamity should come as no surprise.

If you want to find utter calamity, look at the past two world wars and the one coming up, all centered in Europe in so-called developed countries.

Yrral....

Mr Kipling, European are living in basket case, brought on by their own stupidity.

That is true but why does Japan even have an embassy in Haiti? All aid given will be swallowed by corruption.

Why even have an embassy in such a "basket case" country?

Yes I absolutely have a problem with the indiscriminate murder of people based on race, and even more so when those massacred were on the same side of the previously oppressed.

Do you not have a problem with that?

In my knowledge Haiti was one of the corrupt countries.
