Yes indeed (l l),

I will admit that this was somehow hypocritical of Dessalines; but that woman, she took part in the fight for Haiti's Freedom before Dessalines ever even started courting her. I suppose that is why he made that exception. Thus he could not have been that racist, but indeed he was quite fierce toward the whites in his stance like a Malcom X instead of rather Toussaint who was like a Martin Luther King.

Yes,

I did tell you that it was your bed time. Remember your hot milk and cookie, now (l l)!

Good night Arc!

J'aime ce que vous avez fait.....je suis fier de vous.

True indeed AfroLatino. Great analogy. In Arc's world, European colonization and the brutality it wrought upon the non-european inhabitants are of no concern to him. However in a racist contradiction, he detests any anti-white stance and the fact that he degrades a revolutionary movement that was considered by many as the kindling of an atmosphere of liberty in Latin America is pitiful. Arcatype not only are you a racist in denial, you're stupid. In your mind whites can inflict as much pain and suffering and torment to indians and blacks however if indians and blacks revolt and kill their oppressors, it is wrong. I actually wholeheartedly agree with AfroLatino. I am very perplexed as to why Arcatype hasn't been blocked yet especially for the posts he has left.

Now returning to the topic....If you were Rene Preval and France started repayments, what would you use it to fix first.

Arctype is a complex character to decipher, and have a true self identity issue, no doubt Mr Arctype, Carlos, Pepe32, Greenwave are victims of the policy of Mr Trujillo . Fortunately there are very intelligent Dominicans out there and this type of attitude should lessen as time goes by.

I would agree that DR should get some kind of compensations, that will create good will ob both sides

The first thing to do would be to create sources of employment, because the main complain of the haitian masses is the high level of unemployment affecting the country, starting with a revival of the agrarian system, in order to ensure that Haiti would get its food security back. The second thing would be to create a decent public health service, or more plainly, to create one that is available to the general public, not just the elites. The same thing applies to education (which would be a third). The fourth thing would be to improve the housing system, which would involve eliminating the shanty towns on the river shores, that way, people would stop dying every time the rivers fill up on the rain season. Last thing that comes into my mind is for Haiti to start to use its advantageous ports (Port de Paix, Aux Cayes, Au Cap, Jacmel), because, dominating as it is the passage of the Windward Channel, it's a real pity that only a few foreign shipping companies are deriving profits from these strategic ports.

That's your wish right that we forget! Antonioj. Haiti is there is a mess is not even a country it's just a messy place so it's deeper then history its occuring as we speak. First learn how to live in harmony in your own country, for over 200 years you've had no real prosperity no balance but turmoil. Dont bring Rafael Leonidas Trujillo to the fray, in fact don't blame Trujillo for nothing. When your pathetic and blood thirsty leaders crossed the dominican side of the island and tried over and over to conquer it, and the people stood up and said "no we dont want to be part of your country!!!!!" what does that tell you. That means that the people spoke and the spirit of separation was alive and well in the consciousness of the dominican people. So dont blame people that were not alive when all of these hateful invasions occurred.

Thats not bad at all Lautaro. You have some very good proposals. I think more jobs should be created out of the PAP metro area and into the rural sections. Another thing is that Port-au-Prince needs to be completely rebuilt. I was reading an article where it stated that, based on how the city is layed out, it was only designed for 300-500 thousand inhabitants. I would like to see PAP resemble the Capitol of Curacao, with all those colorful buildings....now thats beautiful.
