If you are running for public office, you must take the heat--According to a source, Baker said that if he is elected president he will get rid of cite soleil entirely.
The same source also confirms that Baker has been a racist since he was a kid. Haiti is not for sale.
For those who are plotting with the Republicans to sell out Haiti, let me remind you about the First Black Independent country in the world:
HAITI:
The Haitian Revolution - The Haitians produced the world's only successful slaves revolution in 1791.
From 1804 to present, there have been Haitian King, Emperors and Presidents.
After suffering cruel, inhuman and barbaric treatment in the hands of the white oppressors, the Haitians rose up and fought bloody battles to defeat colonialism and imperialism.
Toussaint Louverture defeated the Spanish, the British, and the French (Napoleonic army).
The Haitians gained their freedom through self-detemination.
The Haitians are strong and proud people.
They are simply amazing for what they have accomplished by leaving their indelible imprints profoundly inscribed in the annals of world history.
In January 1804, they declared their independence.
In the 18th century, the Atlantic stage was shared with three democratic revolutions: the American Revolution, the French Revolution and the Haitian Revolution.
In 1791, the Haitians accomplished the unthinkable and shocked the world when they defeated the troops of Napoleon to create the world's First Black Republic.
As a result, Haiti was to be shunned by much of the international community and this attitude can still be felt today.
Madison and Monroe were not any different.
When the independence of Haiti was debated again in the U.S. Senate in 1820, the Southern Senators voted against the recognition of Haiti's independence.
Their rationalization was that they could not recognize a Republic created by black slaves who rose up to defeat the white slaveholders.
The Haitians continued to help to spread the contagious seeds of freedom across the world.
In 1774, Jean-Baptiste Point Du Sable, founded the City of Chicago.
In 1779, The Haitian saved U.S. revolution in Savannah, Georgia.
The first ornithologist in the U.S. was the Haitian born John James Audubon.
In 1813 and 1815, the Haitians helped Simon Bolivar and Francisco Miranda in the fights for the independence of Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador.
In 1820, Haiti assisted Greece during its struggle for independence against Turkey.
The Haitians declared their independence in 1804.
It was until 1862 that the U.S. (Abraham Lincoln) recognized Haiti; while the French Revolution was welcomed by the U.S..
Frederick Douglas said, in one of his speeches in 1893 "The freedom that has come to the colored race is largely due to the brave stand taken by the sons of Haiti".
He was the first African American to become consul (in Haiti), a prestigious position.
The founders of the First Black Republic were: General Toussaint Louverture, the genius; Emperor Jean Jacques Dessalines; King Henri I (Henri Christophe) and General Alexandre Petion.
Toussaint Louverture claimed a Universal Human Right to Freedom and Citizenship for all slaves and former slaves.
I don't have any problem wit mulattos as lon as they are not trying to bring back the kind of apartheid that exists in Haiti after The first U.S. occupation.
Haiti is 95% Blacks, 5% Mulattos.
The majority rule in a democracy while respecting the right of the minority.
