9631: 18 November 2003 (fwd)

If Haiti is the poorest nation of the Western Hemisphere, 
why then does she have to pay interest to the richest nations 
on funds promised and not received? Why then do they not 
forgive her debt? Why do they play a deaf ear to the issue 
of reparations for the dehumanizing and disfranchising 
slavery period? And yet... why did WE have to pay 
reparations to France for our enfranchisement on 
18 November 1803? Why...... why...... why...... ?
 
Why must the poorest continue to enrich the richest? 
If Haiti is the poorest of the poor, why won't they just 
give her a break? Is it because of 18 November 1803? 
If Haiti is the poorest nation of the Western hemisphere... 
why is she so (and why do her labelers still take advantage of her ?)
