Pass the Jubilee ActSo, perhaps this post is a little derivative to the main argument at hand: That Haiti needs donations for earthquake relief. But it seems that Haiti’s financial situation, which keeps it in dire straits, basically stems from the fact that they freed themselves from western slavery a few hundred years ago and the world is still sore about it.

The record of debt certainly can certainly be followed to the Slave Revolt and resulting battles in the early 1800s, and you could look at the ancestry of western concepts about Haiti as originally stemming from French and America’s tantrums at not being able to bring the island nation back under direct control.
