I can condemn the Haitian indemnity for the injustices they were. But I worry that unnuanced articles like what the NYT has been publishing will cheapen those past injustices by attracting critics who believe that disproving some of the articles' claims then disproves all of them. The thing about this is he's not challenging the bare facts - that France was the force taking resources from the Haitian people. That agreed. He's challenge the conceptual framework; "if France hadn't done this, someone else would have". Whether one agrees or disagrees with this change, it's not a factual question and so his hand wringing about disproofs seem basically disingenuous.
