Haiti : The First Independent Black Nation

General
1

In 1804, after 12 years of dynamic rebellions and insurrections, The Nation of Haiti raised its flag as the first Independent Black Nation, only 17 year after the United States got independence from the Britain. When I say Modern, am referring to recent history. Of course there had been Black Kingdoms and Nations in pre-colonial history.

The Haitians lodged a successful anti-slavery and anti-colonial insurrection that affected the institution of slavery throughout the Americas. Self-liberated slaves destroyed slavery at home, fought to preserve their freedom, and with the collaboration of mulattoes, founded the sovereign state of Haiti. It led to the greatest slave uprising since Spartacus’s unsuccessful revolt against the Roman Republic nearly 1,900 years prior.

This Revolution was led into success by a Benin Born Toussaint Louverture Who later on became the first leader of Haiti.

The Independence of Haiti from Slavery and Colonialism was soon later followed by a Nationwide Massacre of anything that was White and Moving (All Men, Women and children, if White were beheaded)

L’ouveture had given an order that The only way to maintain freedom from slavery was to ensure all white people on the islands were 6 feet under. Beheading was done using swords and knives instead of Shooting with guns to ensure that would be victims did not hear the killers come.

By the end of April 1804, some 3,000 to 5,000 people had been killed and the white Haitians were practically eradicated. Only three categories of white people, except foreigners, were selected as exceptions and spared: the Polish soldiers who deserted from the French army; the little group of German colonists invited to Nord-Ouest (North-West), Haiti before the revolution; and a group of medical doctors and professionals.Reportedly, also people with connections to officers in the Haitian army were spared, as well as the women who agreed to marry non-white men.

Dessalines (First Emperor of the newly established Haiti Empire) did not try to hide the massacre from the world. In an official proclamation of 8 April 1804, he stated, “We have given these true cannibals war for war, crime for crime, outrage for outrage. Yes, I have saved my country, I have avenged America.” He referred to the massacre as an act of national authority. Dessalines regarded the elimination of the white Haitians an act of political necessity, as they were regarded as a threat to the peace between the black and the colored. It was also regarded as a necessary act of vengeance.

I Know people like to believe the “Pact With the Devil”, voodoo things and such, but my stand will always be one. Whatever or whoever the Haitians signed any deal with them to get freedom, I stand by Haiti.

Haiti won its independence but never its sovereignity. I read somewhere they were still paying reparations to France upto the 1980s.

And pit latrine coverage is at the level of Migori - 30 per cent. That tells you how far back they are…

You cannot prosper if you cannot trade, exchange ideas etc with the rest of the world…all of haitis neighbours were of European descent… will you trade with a people who have just slaughtered your people?

Actually the white dominated western hemisphere made sure the newly independent country would never gain economic prosperity. By restricting trade.

Yes, We also know the story of Zimbabwe. Haiti was literally sabotaged by the then Colonial countries and made to pay for property lost by slave owners. They were even forced to pay for slaves lost by slave owners. And they have been paying for decades.

Fixed. The French were very bad colonialists, walidanganya natives na assimilation ndio wawaibie resources. I heard some of those West African countries import basic processed foodstuffs from France.

One of the things I will always be grateful for is the Internet. Those who lived before the WWW know the kind of BS we were fed day-in day-out by Western media such as the BBC - that the Black man is incompetent and useless. Now, you only need to scratch a little and you find horrendous facts that explain everything. Haiti had to pay reparations to France for more than 150 years, imagine that. Kenya was saddled with White farmers with leases running 999 years before independence, and the new gavament was supposed to compensate those tortured or killed by colonialists! (This is the argument Britain is still using in the High Court in London today in the Mau Mau case, imajini!). You read about Zimbabwe and want to throw up at the hypocrisy and duplicity.

The fact is - and I am sorry to sound racist - the White person is very very murderous. They can start a war that kills millions at the drop of a heart, and still sleep. China is now the most powerful country economically but you haven’t heard them invading Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Zimbabwe or any where. But the White man will, and kill you as he says he’s bringing you democracy (especially if you have coltan, diamonds and oil).

And yet, you worship them!
