AM BACK

Great idea Mr Jemesouviens1804.... France should pay that money back to haiti... And then when they get the money Haiti should pay DR for its invasion and mistreatment of Dominicans... whom they exploited to pay for the debt that you are talking about....

Lets get some money!!!!

I hate it when extremist crash a forum like this.

In the late 1820's, more than 15 years after Haiti gained its Independence, France extorted to what amounts to more than 21 billion dollars from Haiti. France did this by blockading Haiti with dozen of naval vessel holding more than 20,000 troops. It demanded that Haiti pay them an indemnity for its lost properties (slaves). Obviously knowing that lightning does not strike the same place twice, Boyer(Haiti's president) had to accept. Many historians note that this is one of the factors that Haiti is the way it is. From that time on Haiti transferred 80% of its income to pay the French. What France did is against international law. My question is, do you think France should pay that money back. My view on this is mix....Haiti should not stress the mishaps of the yesteryears but look foward to a much brighter future. But at the same time France should show a little respect by doing much more to aid Haiti...because at the end of the day, they are both Francophone nations. What's your opinion?

ARCATYPE: The dominican goverment could settle with expeling these modern day haitian invaders in the Dominican Republic. But France will not forget the genocide commited against their citizens by rebellious slaves in the past. Another thing Haiti is poor because it's leaders have been and are corrupt to the core, the U.S. traded with haiti for many years so the indemnity did not bankrupt Haiti. In fact the french lowered the indemnity from $150 million francs to $60 million francs. In 1838 the debt was paid in full, the french finally recognized haiti's independence but definitely sever its ties from Haiti since the onset of the slave rebellions. But yes the Dominican Republic should also be paid part of the indemnity due to the fact that many dominicans left for Cuba, Puerto Rico and Venezuela becuase of the racist anti-white policies by the despotic Boyer and his haitian administration. And making the dominicans contribute the debt owed to france that had nothing to do with the eastern side of the island. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_occupation_of_Santo_Domingo

Funny, because they seem to glory in the bloodshed created by rebellious peasants on their own land. Peasant, slave same difference...

Arcatype.....First of all you are an idiot. You actually think Boyer was anti-white? The man was so white himself, it was as if he died last week! Secondly I strongly disagree on the comment that DR should get a piece of the money since "DR" was not proclaimed until 1844. Also some of your own "people" supported being annex by Haiti in 1821. If this were to happen and DR pulled a stunt like this, it would show the world that DR does not really want the best for its neighbor.

Oh man,

We are going back in circle here. You guys are drying up my tears of joy I had earlier. Do not let guys like Carlos and Arcatype destroy the peaceful tone we have established on this thread for iti s their known intentions to see hatred bloodshed on the Island.

From now on, Arc and Carl should be on ignore. How about it folks?

ARCATYPE: For your information Jean Pierre Boyer's mother was born in the Congo she was a congolese negress (BLACK), Boyer was a dark mulatto. And no, we did not choose to be part of Haiti, the majority of dominicans came to the decision of being admitted to Simon Bolivar's republics. http://www.samanacollege.com/dominican01.html
