Haiti

A couple of articles on Haiti
how Haiti became poor

A brief history of how the rich world brutalized and looted Haiti, a country the US owes its very existence to

The history of Haiti is complex - far more complex than Trump is willing to admit, and probably more complex than he is willing to try and comprehend. We tend to hear bits and pieces, mostly around voodoo and a pact with the devil. But there is far more.

Without Haiti, the history of USA and probably all of North America would be much different.

And no matter what you think of Trump and whether he said what he is alleged to have said (he has made enough on the record racist comments), his comments are totally inappropriate. Because no matter what the colour of skin, no matter country a person is from, they are people created in God's image.
