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.
