You seem misinformed. Your comment, frankly, displays a high level of ignorance.

One of major causes of Haiti poverty were sanctions put in place by the U.S. government and other foreign powers. The cause of the sanctions was in response to Raoul Cedras's coup. Although these sanctions were intended to stop Raoul Cedras's military regime, they strengthened it.

Because the sanctions were a failure they resulted in 60% percent of the private sector losing their jobs, this affected nearly 1 million people. Haiti's export industries were forced to shut down, and many of them did, permanently. The U.S. embargo restricted the transhipment of all goods, this led to a shortage of goods, which subsequently led to malnourishment and increased rates of death among children.**www.american./edu/TED/haiti.htm.

Political and economic instability have caused many Haitian professionals to leave their home country and go serve elsewhere. Most notably, the United States.

There are a vast array of different weather phenomenon that affect the world. Consider mother nature's latest contribution, global warming. Global warming is affecting each and every continent and all races. If something is not done about this threat it could lead to dire consequences for humankind as a whole, not just "negroes."

Mother nature has also manifested her "wisdom" rather graciously on African and Carribean countries, blessing their soils with the many resources that supply the American markets everyday. Many African nations are the world's leading suppliers of petroleum and diamonds, luxuries the world does not hesitate to exploit.

Haiti's people will never be reduced to "standing in sewage" because its children carry the legacy of being the world's first, free, black country! The same way we defeated the world's greatest army at the time (Napoleon's Army), it is within that same spirit that the Haitian people will be victorious over violence, poverty, HIV/AIDS, and imperialism.

i was struck by the comments of the first individual who posted, initially infuriated, then saddened. Saddened because a real understanding of Haiti and the Haitian people is missing from his/her life. I was recently given the opportunity to live in PAP for 4 months and work as an English teacher in a orphanage. In those 4 months, I was able to really experience the Haitian culture, and understand how beautiful and inspirational a country that has been so plagued can be to those of us who are so focused on material possessions and commercialism.
I did not find any Haitians standing and crying, all were standing, moving forward with their heads held high. I found none calling for "whitey" to help, but many very graciously accepting the few things I had to aid them. And none screamed racism, many children yell "blan" as a young white girl walks through the street, but as i responded to them in kreyol that i was named nikki, not blan... they giggled and ran to me for a hug or a high five everytime i left the orphanage. If their is racial tensions, they know where the anger needs to be placed and i was not looked at any differently for being white, absolutely not as though I, or "my people" had once oppressed them.
I hope others who have had amazing Haiti experiences can speak out on them. And I will pray for your ability to see outside of yourself, and into the beauty that is Haitian cuture.

I was tempted to delete your comment because it is offensive and misguided. However, you are entitled to have and express an opinion even if I do not agree with it. Haiti may not have invented corrugated metal or plastic, but it did bring us the world's first free black republic. As this was a threat to "whitey", as you say, foreign powers have manipulated Haiti to their own ends since their freedom. Pick up a history book if you do not agree. There is much that is right about Haiti. You, unfortunately, represent the part of my country that is wrong. I hope for peace for all countries, be they rich, poor, black or white. I hope also that you will come to feel the same way.

Haitians are at their highest level of achievement right now; standing in sewage crying for whitey to feed and clothe them while screaming racism. Mother Nature hates negroes and is desperately trying to be rid of them all over the world. It would be best to not interfere with her wisdom.
