Hating on Haiti
by Jamala Rogers
Featured Columnist, St. Louis American
Newspaper
January 21, 2010
After Haiti was hit with a 7.0 earthquake
causing widespread death and destruction, right-wing evangelist
Pat Robertson attributed Haiti’s woes to a “pact with the
devil.” Between his racist worldview and his senility clouding
his thinking, Robertson needs a history lesson.
The fact that should always be remembered about Haiti is that it
is the only country that engaged in armed struggle to overthrow
slavery. It is the oldest black republic in the world. In 1804,
Haiti declared its independence from its French colonizers, and
the Haitian people have been catching hell ever since. The U.S.
and France have buddied up to ensure the country’s instability
and chaos. continued> |
