One should read the history of Haiti. They were the first slaves to revolt and become free, so France wanted them to pay for “lost business”. So they had to pay off a huge debt. And the U.S. didn’t want Haiti to succeed because it would have encouraged slaves in the U.S. to revolt. So Haiti got roadblock after roadblock.
Funny how the Dominican Republic is on the same island and it’s a tropical paradise.

And how long ago was that? And we’re still saying “it’s someone else’s fault?”
