While Haiti as a state basically ended after America sent in the Marine Corps in 1914 to steal their entire gold reserves (a tip, you know, for bringing civilization and freedom), their revolution is still a great story. How people kept in squalor, illiteracy enriched a powerful, armed and subjugating class who grew more powerful and richer the more miserable they made their slaves.

Such a revolution required immense daring and courage, many slaves knowingly sacrificed themselves to see it happen. This boom tells the story wonderfully

The staunch Tory Samuel Johnson famously toasted the revolution when he heard about it: "Here's to the next insurrection of the negroes in the West Indies!" Also famously said about the American Revolution: "How is it that the loudest yelps for liberty come from the drivers of negroes?"

Johnson was a cuck and spiritually a Bolshevik

I wonder how he squared these views with his enthusiastic love for persecuting the Scots and Irish. Simple negrophilia?

The 1804 Haitian massacre was the logical end result of ever allowing niggers a say in anything.

Samuel Johnson was completely against slavery in England's colonies even before the revolution. You are very confident in your powerful non-readership

Good for them but when they're now eating mud cakes, practicing voodoo, and the guy with the most power is some sort of wannabe gangster named barbecue, it makes it seem like their freedom was squandered.

He's a poltard. You can tell because he interprets people's opinions in light of their supposed ethnic allegiances and rivalries, rather than just listening to what they're actually saying.

>>25271898
I think however sorry their conditions are now and have been ever since America destabilized them, they're better than slavery

I don't think /pol/tards realize they are the black slaves, not the white masters

Slaves rebelled in Haiti precisely because they were not much oppressed (read Tocqueville if you don't understand the psychology and sociology of it) and Haiti was the richest part of the entire Americas. My fellow bong ancestors were actually running a shithole tropical gulag in Jamaica just next door to Haiti with absolutely baffling death rates and the negroes were too weak and defeated to do anything. Meanwhile frogs were too soft on the negroes and you see the results.
Fast forward a bit and cucks have hands free sissygasms thinking about black-on-White murder and completely forget the Caribbean horror stories with some backing. This is what happens when you fall for negrophilia.

Daily reminder that black people are not actually related to each other and race is not a genetic reality.

How low is your reading comprehension to completely miss anything of relevance in my previous post?
Which was responding to >>25271331 who is correct. Now let me rephrase this so even you can understand it in between gooning sessions to blacked: why was the large American slave revolt happening precisely in the comparatively tame negro husbandry region as opposed to all the others? They gave them an inch (that's one fourth of BBC in your units of measurement) and before noticing they were necklaced.
There is nothing inspirational about the history of Haiti except a sad reminder to not relax around them. Even just among French west indies there is Guadeloupe and Martinique or even St Bart the luxury resort. All of which retained slavery for a few decades after Haitian independence and are still direct territories of France to this day.
You post cringe like >>25271904, completely avoiding such an obvious comparison point. Would anyone of any ersatz of sense have preferred to live in Haiti or Martinique at any point of time in the last two centuries? 25x (2500%) the GDP per capita by the way, and 19 (nineteen) more years of life expectancy, and even in the short intermediate slave phase in the 1810s-1830s the personal property of slaves there would have been more secure there than in """free"" Haiti. Plus, they try being Christian (or fedoraic) instead of throwing voodoo hexes on each other.

NTA
Yours is about denial of obvious reality in favor of the picrel. If you were born in India you'd be swimming in Ganges because it clearly purifies you.
>>
>>25272279
The obvious reality is America stole all of their gold reserves
>>
>>25272288
That’s a joke. Gold is nothing but a single natural resource and the looting of a single treasury would never cause long term economic ruin. You clearly know nothing about economics or what money even is. Blindly blaming whitey or ‘merica or whoever for haiti is clown tier. Economies are a reflection and a measurement of economic trust and productivity.

Gold they didn't know how to mine let alone sell?

Do you think American money is gold based? No modern currency is. Modern fiat currency systems are based on debt. An economy is as good as how much trust banks have in the people and businesses who take out loans in them

are you talking about toussaint? the retard supported the spanish first, then switched back to the french republic, then tried to suck up to the americans and the english. duplicitous shit

>muh gold
This was over a hundred years ago and it isn't like they had giant gold reserves. In addition they got preferential commercial terms with the US for it. Haiti was already a monumental shithole the microsecond they rebelled against France so presenting it as a big change is puzzling.
For reference Spain lost most of its gold in the 1930s civil war (so more recently than Haiti) when the republicans forcefully seized the private bank reserves, sent it to the USSR which frauded most of it towards their accounts as commissions for the already comically overpriced military aid, and sent the Spanish republic into hyperinflation. Now does anyone uses this as explanation for any Spanish economic difficulty a century later? Did Spain turn into a permanent shithole?
Slightly later Germans looted gold all around Europe, the large majority of it never reimbursed. Belgium alone was looted far worse than Haiti could ever be (and already had been by German in 1915) in addition to copious physical destruction. Did Belgium turn into a permanent shithole (I mean besides the recent Moorish zones)?
