Niggers are locusts. The lands that whites settled have protected national parks, reserves and conservation for flora and fauna, plus they use agriculture to replenish food stocks Most of the animals and plants are dead in Haiti because niggers over populate, consume every resource, then move to the next area, just like a virus.
