This may take awhile!
I feel like some folks took Nas "I Can" song as a history lesson rather than actually learning any actual history to realise Nas fucked up his facts. Haitian Revolution took 13 years and was hardly a bloodless short term coup that lead to them easily conquering their oppressors and seizing their lands. As for them winning against the white man... anyone want to recall who Haitians looked to provide aid after the quake in 2010? Or even their most recent 2.9 quake? Because it certainly isn't Africa.
I'm all for black empowerment but selective ignorance and distorting the facts doesn't actually serve anything properly or prove anyone wrong. Haiti's been a liberated independent nation for more than 100 years now but they've not exactly developed much in that time through their own resources, being an independent country with little security, social mobility or opportunity is like being the goth at prom: sure, people will acknowledge the effort but nobody's going to dance with you outside of doing so because of pity. Haiti and Belize are not exactly places you think of going unless you're an aid worker whose is a relentless optimist/deluded idiot or rich enough to hire a security team to go with you. It's not exactly Cabo San Lucas.
You stop reading after the independence part I see.
