Imagine a time where you felt slavery was so brutal w/ the French, that you felt necessary to align yourself w/ the Spaniards who also believed in slavery b/c you had a common enemy. That is exactly what happened in colony of St. Domingue at beginning of #HaitianRevolution 2/17

I dated this DC woman who is director of a big peace institute. This expert was out there spreading the racist lie to her friends that Haitians committed massacre against white Dominicans. Only I didnβt know.
She did her masters at mostly white & elitist university in most liberal racist city in US. I was pro Chavez & her racist #whitepassing elitist friends from #Venezuela hated my black π. They would have convo about intdev around me, & couldnβt care less about what I had to say.
