Haiti's relationship with other countries: Give and Take, you give, I take
Food for Thought - As a Haitian Thinketh...
I have to admit, I was a bit embarrassed. OK, I was very embarrassed, the man is talking about my beloved Haiti and I didn't have a solid answer to defend myself.

They were punished for wanting to be free. Sadly, once they won their freedom, they really didn't have the skills to protect it. Europe and USA took advantage of these circumstances and literally raped the country of its wealth.
Haiti gives more than most other countries.
Its doctors, artists, performers, are traveling and living abroad in so many countries - enriching these countries.
Haiti gave more than any other country in the Western Hemisphere by being the first country to overthrow the European
