France is used as a scapegoat. The situation of Haiti today has nothing to do with France. Haiti has, and has had, an utterly corrupt and incompetent governmen

  >Haiti has, and has had, an utterly corrupt and incompetent government/state. That's why they are in the situation they are in. Relevant Reddit post: TIL that Haiti has had 23 constitutions since 1801, with the most recent being enacted in 2012. At least two have declared the country to be an empire. <https://np.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3t5wzt/til_that_haiti_has_had_23_constitutions_since/ https://np.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3t5wzt/til_th...>

  >Haiti has, and has had, an utterly corrupt and incompetent government/state. That's why they are in the situation they are in. So does the Dominican Republic government.

    There are different levels in everything and you'd be hard-pressed to find worse than Haiti. According to Wikipedia, the Dominican Republic has the fastest growing economy of the Americas while Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas (And neither has anything to do with France, and since the US meddled in both and even occupied both they probably have little to do with either as well)

      The difference is not that Dominicans are smarter Hatians (which I think is what you are dancing around). The DR has enjoyed more political stability due to the amount of foreign investments in the country which would have never happened if the DR was stuck in a precarious developmental stage, as it was the case with Haiti.

        Please don't be disingenuous and accuse others of racism when you run out of arguments.
