"The story of a KING that created a kingdom that only his spirit could see..."

Sad that he didnt live long enough to see the fruits of his labor but I guess he played his part and gracefully bowed out! Him & Dessalines reminds me of the story of John the Baptist and Christ how one paved the way and died and the other one finished the mission and then died! PEACE AND BLESSING TO THE SOULS OF THOSE STRONG AFRICAN BROTHERS!

[darchien]

It many senses, the entire story is very similar to Jesus and all his disciples, a classic betrayal unfortunately, their were indeed many more who spawned Haiti's freedom, history only tends to favor these two:) Mind u, they were taught and in many cases forced to believe in Christ while fighting to maintain their own cultural identities which lay in the foundations of a mythical pantheon of Deities resembling that of the Greeks which has been given a new rise today -

So what? you're nothing but a hypocrite. You're concerned about the whiteness of your country that had it's own Thug(El Jefe) who killed thousands of Haitians. But when a black man executes a military plan He's a thug? GTFO Tu Basura Plantaino. I don't care about people being racist, just don't be a hypocrite it makes you look weak minded

[blackpolarbear]

@dominiparati

Wow so he is a thug because he went to war against the people who was enslaving, whipping, burning and killing people of his race. What your saying is mind boggling. The slave trade was a genocide the had brought 11 million salves to Haiti alone by the mid 17 hundred and yet there were only 75 000 slaves in Haiti. They wouldn't last more then 3 years doing the work they had them do.

Your a thug if your for the freedom of your people now?

Maybe your confusion him with dessaline

[Haitian11590]

Cuz he wanted the island to be 100% BLACK

[DelValle1980]
