1. People often ask why Haiti didn’t just say no to 🇫🇷’s demand for 150 million gold francs after gaining independence.

Here’s why they couldn’t — & how 🇫🇷created the problem, but 🇺🇸, w/ help from institutions like Citibank, is who truly destroyed 🇭🇹.

1. Haiti here! You know how white supremacy forced us to pay reparations for losing the slaves & Zimbabwe to pay reparations for confiscating white lands stolen from Blacks? Wait until you find out the real reason the 🇺🇸 maintains an embargo on Cuba starving it for 70 yrs.

🧵 2. After Cuban Revolution (1959), Castro nationalized properties owned by American individuals & 🇺🇸 companies. In response, the U.S. imposed economic sanctions & later formalized financial claims values at least $2B in 1959. They claim today it is worth 10s if not 100s of $B.

1. Q: If Haiti helped South America gained its independence by providing it with resources and soldiers, how come Haiti is so poor today? What happened? 🤷🏾‍♂️

A: The Double Independence Debt ransomed from Haiti to French slave owners happened.

Thread 🧵 Image 2. Haitian historians are still debating why Haitian leaders felt compelled to pay this debt. Haiti wasn’t recognized by anyone & was surrounded by slave-holding empires who threatened 🇭🇹’s existence. Unable to trade, 🇫🇷 saw an opportunity to make 🇭🇹 pay, financially this time. Image

He was born a French slave, he became a Spanish General and he commanded an all Black American militia in Florida. He was the real Django Unchained. His name is George "Jorge" Biassou. Haitian know him as #wapkonjoj Thread 1/17 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 didn’t 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 🍑. They would have convo about intdev around me, & couldn’t care less about what I had to say.
