We speak with TransAfrica founder Randall Robinson, author of An Unbroken Agony: Haiti, from Revolution to the Kidnapping of a President. On President Obama tapping former President Bill Clinton and former President George W Bush to co-chair US relief efforts in Haiti, Robinson says, Bush was responsible for destroying Haitian democracyClinton has largely sponsored a program of economic development that supports the idea of sweatshops but that is not what we should focus on now. We should focus on saving lives.

Do you know what its like to be kicked when you are already down? As a Haitian, this is how it feels to hear all the horrible things that are said about us in this time of devastation by some American racists. Mr. Robinson is a breath of fresh air for me.

surely, you understand that YOUTUBE is one of many forums that will allow jackasses to say what they want to say, without being seen or called to the carpet. Its a cowardly dig, rooted in fear. All I have to say is that in the not-so-distant future, the white/black racism wont be the issue that it is now because WHITE PEOPLE will be the minority in this country. THATS REALLY WHAT THE RACISTS ON THIS THREAD ARE AFRAID OF, my friend. I'll contunue to pray for your people.

Of course ol' Bill Clinton wants sweatshop type labor hyped his wife is on the board of directors of Walmart in the good ol' US Bible Belt.As for Bush his ties with Haliburton speak for themselves.

Mr. Randall Robinson inspired me so much!Being out of Haiti for the past six Years (Germany/Saxony),I had the Chance to know what really occured in my own Country.

This is just Insane to see How the International Community made it possible for Haiti not beeing able to celebrate its 200 Years of Independence.

Let me end this by saying that "He who knows,Feels the Pain"

@dmc7777

just because you are insecure about your genitalsize doesn't mean that a whole group of people has to downsize themselves to fit your needs?

You've brought up the population problem, that depends on income, education and culture more than genitalsize, look at China..India.. Asia as a whole, they oppose the black stereotype and still have problems keeping their numbers in check. Shall we make them become christians and kill each other?

either

u mad

or

well trolled

@dmc7777 excuse me, but what the FUCK is your dumb ass talking about?...trust me, the more you keep your mouth closed, the safer everyone within earshot of you will be. Here I am talking about systemic racism, and all you have to offer to the dialogue is something about "big black dicks"...just shut the fuck up.

i wish y'all really knew how evil these governments that rule us really are. i know it may seem like a conspiracy but when you study the bible prophecy you will come to realize that these powerful government are wolves in sheep's clothing. they live with greed and lust to fullfil their evil desires on the cost of helpless people. they got your mind focus on illusions with their veneers and facades. in this world truth is secondary to deception. the only hope of people of color is in Jesus alone

[MisterCrazyLegs]

I try not to analyze why politics are able to play such a negative role in tragedies that affect minorities....because political discussion will ALWAYS distract us from the REAL ISSUE,most of the time, in my opinion. But I will say this because its such an elephant in the room: When and where will the conversation take place that involves why DARK SKINNED AFRICAN PEOPLE, are continuously left behind in situations that are impossible to overcome?...why are they feared and despised and punished?
