Lumumba's Africa | Haiti: A state abandoned

This narrator makes it seem Haitians been sitting there doing no wrong when "strong man" foreigners, starting with the French and continuing currently with Americans, mistreated and marginalized them - for no reason at all from the presence of the Haitians themselves.

He's leaving out how Haitians initiated bloody and merciless violence on the entire colonial French population of Haiti, including women, children, the elderly and the unarmed, taking the opportunity of the civil disturbance of the revolutions in France to undertake such an inhumane and brutal assault on mostly unarmed civilians.

From the beginning, the Haitians demonstrated to any conscious observation of their nature to be brutal and savage in their ways, and to be without honor or humanity.

Perhaps the initial Haitian revolutionaries had been tricked by an insidious presence in their midst to carry out the butchering of civilians and their children when they thought it was safe to do so? This narrator doesn't speak to this, so I see no need to allow for such an explanation, outside my own weakness to search for anything to make sense of the brutality of the ways of the ancestry of the Haitians.

That leaves us to judge based on the facts of the history of this accursed island - and people; the Haitians have proven themselves to be an inhumane and brutal presence based on the accursed island.

I do not think most Africans are better than the Haitians described above.
