Haitians massacred 60,000 white men, women, and children after they became independent.
I guess they know about "sowing and reaping," being the poorest, most corrupt country on the planet.
Stop the lies.
About 40,000 French died DURING the fight for independence. You’re just angry to hear that Africans fought for their freedom and won it. They fought from 1791-1803.
Between 3,000 and 5,000 French men, women and children were killed after independence when the French were threatening to reinstate slavery. The remaining French were seen as threats to the nation and killed.
Funny you’re upset that about 45,000 whites were killed but you’re not concerned that the whites killed over 100,000 Africans during the same time for fighting for their freedom.
Ah, so fighting for freedom from whites who enslaved, beat, rape and kill your people makes one corrupt? Talk about non-existent morals.
Haiti became independent of France and then collapsed into the miserable failure that it's been ever since.
But if they want to celebrate that, I guess it's okay.
Nope. The French extorted the equivalent of $21 billion dollars as reparations for not being able to have Haitian slaves and did so on the threat of reinvasion.
The French are the biggest thieves of the West and all the superpowers supported France due to their fears of slave uprisings and anger that there was now an independent Black republic.
Hilarious you refuse to acknowledge the France’s forced reparations of $21 billion. Your above attempt to rewrite history is laughable. Nice try though.

By your own admission. Women and children killed.
How did they do it? With machetes?
Proceed with the "We were wronged" lecture. And "What goes around comes around."
It appears to keep "coming around" for Haiti, doesn't it?
Why not go back there and fix the place?
