  • In 1804 Dessalines found it necessary to reassure nations other than France and Spain that Haiti posed no threat to the security of their colonies. The constitution of May 1805 confirmed this assurance to foreign powers: 'The emperor will not undertake any enterprise with a view to making conquests or to troubling the peace and internal regime of foreign colonies.'

  • Yet despite these assurance on part of Dessalines, the mere existence of an independent black state which had achieved liberation by a violent struggle against a white colonial administration posed a threat to other nations. 'The existence of a negro people in arms', wrote Talleyrand to General Louis Turreau in Washington,'occupying a country which it has soiled by the most criminal acts, is a horrible spectacle for all white nations.' Haiti was regarded as the symbol of black dignity&human equl

  • The oppressed wants to become the oppressor to his own people. When you attempt that you dishonor your self and your ancestors one thousand times.

    Don't shame yourself and fall prey to propaganda.

  • Une nation sans mémoire est une nation sans demain

  • There is a new phenomenon called blackhaterism. It has spread like wild fire in recent time. It was started by a hateful group well funded and very powerul organization. It's subliminal messages are on t.v., print, ad, just to name a few. They have manage to have every single institution spread their message of hate.

    What's most puzzling and bizzare is the group it was set out to destroy is the #1 advocate of it's own destruction.

  • The colonial countries never stop their best to keep Haiti divided so they can show the world that the first black independent country in the world can not survive in peace and harmony. Do you remember that there was an agreement between CARICOM (All the Caribbean countries) and the first democratically and constitutionally elected president of Haiti Jean-Beratrand Aristide. Bush sided with the criminals, thugs and rapists instead of supporting the agreement to bring all Haitians together.

  • Give little African kids a taste of their history and they will start to salivate for more.....

  • Bumatong guaitiao which is the Taino language which means in English,

    " Thank you friend". I am happy you have informed that Haitians just as Puertoricans, Cubans and Dominicans have Taino blood in our veins. The Taino people and nation still lives in the Caribean. It is not a bad idea to relive our ancesters language again as Hebrew was brought back to life in Israel. Bomatong for the information.
