Remembering the cut-away scene on Family Guy where Godzilla attacks Haiti - Godzilla rises from the watery depths, prepares to unleash his fiery wrath upon the coastal settlements, is shocked to see how thoroughly destroyed everything is already, and quietly backs away while causing no further harm.
😊
Ouch. Depressing and true.
😂
Thats honestly rlly depressing. I hope the Haitian get peace someday
Lmao never seen that episode but sounds funny af 😂😂
Meanwhile, the Dominican Republic is defending it's border..
They costing them billions just deporting them

You did not talk about how since the beginning of Haitis independence they had civil wars and massacred each other and Dominicans.
Because it would show them in a bad light.
This channel always want to made it look like very conflict in the world is the US fault and never the nation itself
I wonder why, certainly not for the heck of it. These are people who fought off the enslavers after all.
@@MPam1619 stfu im Dominican my great greta grandma told me they raped and pillaged us and did voodoo on our chidlren well never forget foh and they still lazy and do voodoo
@@romans0128So what? Are we then supposed to say they should just die? All that instability was caused by foreign powers, buts its always the man’s fault not there puppets I guess
It is depressing how Haiti has been locked in three centuries of turmoil with no end in sight.
They were better off under French rule.

its called colonialism, imperialism & capitalism. while these systems of power and oppression endure it will not end.
@@KrazyKat007 Haiti was the most brutal example of chattel slavery in history, slaves would only "last" a few years on the fields. So you think enslavement and genocide of people because of their race is better than freedom?

The Dominican Republic didn't get it's independence from Spain it was from Haiti who occupied us for 22 years, you need to correct that and as long as you understand it will be clear why we don't want any thing to do with the Haitians besides ours linguistic and cultural differences that's the main reason.
Didn’t Haiti occupied/invaded the DR so why do ppl say it freed the DR. I always find it strange how ppl leave that out.
@@teslainthehood2521 freed DR whoo tf says that lol better look up “patria “
As a Dominican I thank you for talking about Haiti so the world see the big problem in Haiti

Why do you say the DR repeatedly looked for independence from Spain? Haiti invaded and brutally ruled the Spanish side for 20 years. Dominican independence is celebrated from HAITI. The Trinitarians, the founding three fathers of The Dominican Republic raised a revolt against Haiti not Spain

They skip that part lol 😂 he’s probably a democrat
@@fabolousjada5070 I hadn’t thought of that but progressive left - yeah most likely. It has to be poor, picked on Haiti. We know why🙌
Haiti annexed DR with little resistance because most Dominicans had agreed to unify the island it wasn’t a brutal invasion.
Hey you left out the part of Haiti then oppressing the DR. You know forbidding the Spanish language and Dominican culture. Making them help pay its debt 🤷🏽♂️
True!
I live in Haiti and it’s like almost every day we get no food it’s like saddest things happen every single day in Haiti😢
No food , but these women can pop out them babies right an left for some country to keep them up!!
Omg please be safe and careful 😢
I am so sorry you have to deal with this. I am praying for Haiti.

He skipped over the part that, after Haiti was recognized as a country, they turned themselves into an empire and took over the dominican Republic for 22 years, dominican republic had to gain a 2nd independence from Haiti
Omg, when and what years were this?
Also he I didn't talk about the several civil war they've had killing each other, but of course.... It's always the US fault 💀 according to this guy
@@michaelsindiong3153 1822-1844, after the 3rd invasion on the Spanish side of Hispaniola
I'm a Dominican who has studied my countries History and though many Dominicans say exactly what you just said to justify the racism and oppression of Haitians for the past 200 years or so, that's not accurate History. Whenever the story of Haitian occupation is told it is done so with the intention of portraying Haiti as a tyrannical empire. Haiti occupied D.R. with the intentions of unifying the island and ending slavery once and for all, which they did. Dominicans fought for their independence against Haiti because the extremely heavy taxation that France imposed on Haiti also carried unto the Dominicans, and they perceived the heavy taxation as "incompetent leadership" by the Haitians. Whenever this story is told, Dominicans have a tendency to leave out the fact that the Dominican Republic willingly entered into a union with Haiti to share in their military strength; Haiti allowed Dominicans to keep their leader in their provinces instead of establishing Haitian leaders; and, if they could have, the Spanish in the Dominican side of the island would've immediately re-establish slavery.
@@bernard7057 when Dominican gain their 1st independence? Around the same time when Haiti fought for their freedom or little bit after? Where in the Dominican history book did it say that Dominicans “allowed” the occupation of Haiti? So after we gain independence from Spain, was it a lie from the Dominican people that we wanted to join gran Colombia? And you are the right about the heavy taxation. But did the Haitians allow Dominicans to speak their language and express their religion? Did they not enforce their language on the Dominicans?
Never watched this channel before but have now watched two very good videos in a row I am now subscribed.
It is not because "the world doesn't care." When the World "cared" Haiti in 2004, Haitians called them neo-colonialists and told them to get out, and now Haitians are complaining about either peacekeepers occupying Haiti or neglecting Haiti.
To be honest, most Haitians I knew are more respectful and positive than the self-pitying, narcissistic, "the-West-owed-us" depiction from those political analysts (a lot of Leftists included).
Maybe Haitian diasporas have to figure something out creatively.
Well when you spread cholera and traffic the locals people tend to not like that....
As a Canadian I wouldn’t want myself or my family going to Haiti to fight gangs. Especially if the locals might end up hating us and calling us imperialists after our sacrifice
Chinese should...
There are 11 million of them and if they can’t take control over their country no one can
@@oaedeoi base! Bokey and Freddy Tang are the 🐐!!!!
Same here in the US. Anytime the west tries to civilize an uncivilized society and it doesn’t work we get blamed for making it like that 🙄. Like this is just their natural state. If they want to band together and fix it they can pull themselves up to the civilized world but that seldom happens. Leave them alone and they’ll either figure out how to create a society or they won’t but at least western blood won’t be spilled to make them hate us 😒
Well yeah therein lies the rub. I mean they either have to either figure out how to rule themselves or someone else has to come in and rule. No country can have both.
Just giving money isn't going to work. The corrupt folks at the top and the gangs will just absorb that.
My question really is
Where do you even start with Haiti, usually most countries have at least one of the pillars to build off of but in Haiti there's just nothing there to start working.
Proper process would be to establish law and order through military deployment, then establish proper in flows of food. An interim international government should then be established under UN jurisdiction. Once that is complete; schools and infrastructure should be built. After literacy rates have increased to acceptable levels, proper and sustainable agricultural practices should be established. Followed by foreign electricity and power infrastructure, all with Haitian hiring requirements.
As you can see, the process would take almost 2 generations to complete, would require world wide cooperation, and is ripe with opportunity for corruption and embezzlement. It really is a tough situation without a clear solution.

The problem with Haiti is Haitians. Replace them with Dutch or Swedish or Japanese or Mexican people and it'll be massively better.
You don’t even have to replace anyone, if they found a different way to get around the sanctions and demand for money after independence, they would be thriving
@@MrStark-up6fino they won’t they’re uncivilized and self destructive just like their ancestors who wanted power over the entire island their gangs also seek power. that country was poor then and poor now the people raid businesses destroying their communities even with no outside interference that country would’ve still been poor it would’ve just gone downhill just a little slower
Replace them with Dominicans and it will be massively better.
Mexicans?? the same people that started the cartel and are notorious for illegal immigrating in the usa. Yh no and as for the other ethnicities you mentioned that's also not true they didnt go through the exact turmoil that Haitians have.
Haiti wants help but don't want nobody in their land,who wants to help anybody like that??,🤦🏽♂️🙄😒👊🏾
Probably because we have trust issues, can you blame us? Every single time someone steps foot on our land they try to exploit us or take over. I would probs be fighting everyone too.

14:35 Thank you for your informative video. I really appreciate it. At this point in the video, I did a bit of reading up and I think there's more to the story than Jean-Bertrand Aristide simply being exiled. There was a coup d'etat in 1991. I don't have time to examine it further right now.
The coup d'etat was led by the CIA. Aristides was restored to power 4 years later under draconian IMF loan conditions. Aristides was reelected several years later and once again taken out of power by a US, Canadian, and French led coup d'etat.
They actually found a list of individuals who were involved in America. The request for the list was denied when I asked for
At a certain point it's their fault, and that point has long past.
At this, point you don't know Haitian's history and to say it's just their fault lacks any nuance of what's going on
It’s not their fault. If you lived in a country devastated by the west you would understand.
Yikes. Weapons grade bad take here
At this point it’s there fault. Many other countries have been in situations like this and turned it around
@rhadamesperez1437 and almost all of those countries have been assisted by the western countries one way or another
As a Nigerian, this video and history and current situation of Haiti makes me appreciate the fact that the British were the ones who colonized/created my country and not some other people like Arabs or the French. For all our issues, we are the richest African economy and one of the better stable ones. Most former British colonies tend to do better socioeconomically and politically compared to French ones. The British had a habit of importing and imposing their political and economic and social ideals on their colonies which tended to help them after colonialism. Yes, my country still has issues aplenty but compared to many other countries here in Africa and like Haiti, we are so much better economically and socially and politically and getting better still.
So you are grateful to slavers, robbers, rapists, adepts of genocide...
@@zrentshian9346 Sorry but this is not my point. My opinion on colonialism will be more nuanced than that of most westerners. On one hand, it was brutal in some ways but on the other it did play a huge role in bringing much of Africa, and my country in particular, into the modern age via introduction of modern tech, medicine, western education, and nation building. My country literally wouldn't exist without the British. For all the issues we face, we prefer having a country.
Also, one major good it did was abolish slavery. I cannot be more thankful for the British using their naval power and economic might to suppress the slave trade in Africa. Oh, I know they partook in it for a time, themselves, but it existed here long before whites ever came to Africa. Even my own ancestors of the Edo kingdom were slavers. What makes the British different is that unlike other regional African and Arab powers, they had the cultural & religious framework, wisdom, humanity and courage to actually stop the evil of slavery even at huge cost to their economy.
Still, dmigration is massive, corruption rampant, the environment in shambles. Sure it's the fault of neocolonialism. That alone, though?
@@orboakin8074 what prosperity Nigeria is in ?
the entire nation is controlled by a British oil company
its well said that
being a slave is not connected by race
its the just the mind and you are my friend you are one of the people whos being thankful for the one who enslaved and sold his ancestors.
go educate your self a little bit
Nigeria is not the richest Africa economy whatsoever. It is only the largest and that’s not due to policy it’s simply due to population size. Bigger economy does not equal better economy that’s why we use GDP per capita. Nigeria is piss poor. There are at least 2 dozen countries in Africa with a better GDP per capita than Nigeria. Also, Mayotte, Reunion, and Mauritius have economies 100x better than Nigeria and were French colonies. Mayotte and Reunion STILL being departments of France.
For Haïti to be ‘ normal ‘ and put on the right track it needs a multinational government ,a sort of modern colonisation with absolutely no decision to be made by any locals .
With a foreign government ,maybe in 50 years , with the results of a proper education and health system , some Haïtian might then start to have some responsabilities given very slowly on a sort of gradual scale .
Without that zero chance , money and international programs will have zero impact .
NB : And by the way , building a new country from a blank sheet could also be a super experiment .
Stfu there in this suition becasue of america and the west they want haiti in this postion. Cololism was never good and it hasn't ended. So y would the former colnizer help look at iraq or Afghanstian
You can go and colonize Haiti.

@@kindomofghana so from what I heard. I think someone said that haiti supported one of the tribes not sure if it was igbo or yuroba. So it's either Nigeria didn't want haiti as part of the union or Europe. Lastly the final "reason" or "excuse" as to why haiti couldn't join is because of distance

This is also the story of almost every Eastern European country... Our "luck" was the proximity to our masters and that forced them to build infrastructure (also meant for them to rob us easier) and they couldn't afford to allow things to degenerate as much as in Haiti. But, it's the story of most Eastern European country, centuries of oppresion, direct or indirect, from our masters...
Europeans didn't cause this jackass 😂. Haiti was very successful under Europeans.
Excuse me? What is this ridiculous blame? What country supposedly did what to which country, and when? And what masters?
Remember Krakilla you're not allowed to blame other countries that have inflicted pain on yours. Because that's not fair lol
Might makes right after all.
If proximity to the core countries guarantees some amount of stability, why hasn't Europe also invested in North Africa, or why hasn't the US invested in the Carribean, Mexico, Central America?
Also, not trying to downplay Eastern Europe's problems... but it seems a little unfair to compare a country such as Haiti where gangs rule and the poverty and violence is sky-high, with functioning welfare states (excepting the Balkans) that are peaceful and have decent standards of living, but where foreign capital nonetheless dominates.
Nice one 👌👌

Haiti is a piece of Africa which ended up in the Caribbean due to the slave trade, like the Philippines are a piece of Latin America near Asia due to centuries of Spanish domination followed by heavy (US) Americanization.
In both cases the violent hand of Western countries marked history; not that locals needed lessons on the matter, though.
Still, the Philippines while hard and chaotic may be livable (if you're rich or live outside cities), whereas Haiti is mostly a hellhole.
The tainos didn't die off, they were absorved genetically by the wider Spanish and later African people who setled the eastern part of the island. Dominicans have Taino DNA. They're basically natives of Hispaniola.

Culture is something that happens in a time and place and it's very much influenced by the environment. The Haitian culture is influenced by the chaos and dispair of their tropical home.

The problem is far more complicated and humanitarian workers are literally not that innocent. There have been literal cases of humanitarian workers sexually abusing Haitian women and girls.

This guy, has put his time in making a video about the tragedy of Haiti, so he brought this (ignored subject) under the eyes of more than 34k people (until now).
@@OutsidersRo everyone in the world knew that Haiti is in a state of chaos. no country wants to help because they know even if they help, the country will go back into chaos a few months later. last time the country asked for world aid, The clinton foundation literally robbed them of over 10 billion$ of aid money. Red Cross robbed them from billions as well. sad reality is, no one can save haiti.
@@OutsidersRo thank you again for your hard work and efforts. Unfortunately it’s hard for people to do anything when a country is corrupt and gangs have taken over. Living in the US, I see states like New York, Chicago, and Baltimore where drugs and gang violence influence the youth and gets glorified in music. I’ve done peace corps, but I’ve come to terms that this world just gets worse. Thank you again for sharing your experience.
Tragedy? There's no tragedy; the story's not over. These are the descendants of people who fought off enslavement. Don't count them out yet!
Its funny how you harp on the US but barely even mention france.. i dont really know the full truth but this doesn't feel quite right to me.
The Haitian will get peace just don't give up Haiti, your help is coming you are a free nation soon and very soon you all will be smiling.
great video, indigo traveler also has a great series of videos about it
he's so hot
One of the most honest recounting of Haitian history. Good job. It is sad.
So, Phil Coulson was right, it's a magical place...
I think he was talking about Tahiti or something.
@@orboakin8074 Yea, exactly that, my bad.
@@orboakin8074 I would much rather go to Tahiti than ta Haiti. Given you know, the way it is right now
Yeah voodoo magic
does the phrase 'black magic' come from Voodoo?
Tahiti actually has a very low crime rate, even though it is sorta kinda a French territory (as Haiti used to be)
Says Quora, "Tahiti is part of French Polynesia. Inhabitants do not want completely independent in the nearby future because of the French subsidies."
heh. I'll bet.
"Tahiti Free!!!"
France: "You won't get money anymore...."
"Vive la France!" lol
The US's history with Hati is sort of weird. There are times the US does things that help throughout the history of Hati and times it has not. France's behavior isn't too surprising. Part of Hati's problems are self generated though.
You can't drop people off on a island make them work for free a century later after you have enriched yourself and say I have nothing to do with your plight
@@jaythomas3224 look to the East of the island which I might add was invaded by Haiti and had to gain independence from two different countries.
@@omgitzangrygaming7904 invaded by who?
@@jaythomas3224 The Spanish and Haitians partly cause the Dominicans willing unified with Haiti it was after the taxes from the French that effected Dominicans also so they decided to break from Haiti
@@jaythomas3224 White people they always have selective memories.
I blame the leaders in Haiti. They have gotten over 16 billion in the last 10 years and have nothing to show for it. They get constant aid. Why is Haiti a disaster but other countries were able to rise from the ashes and poverty. Countries like Japan, South Korea, Myanmar
So what do you think can be done about it?
Chinese naval base... China would totally reform their education front the costs, provide the skills and set the standards
I don’t understand. It’s been 219 years since the African slave revolution exterminated the colonizers. How are they not thriving as a well-run and prosperous country like their next door neighbor the DR? Everyone knows that the problems with African countries are due to the last vestiges of the colonizers that left only 60 or so years ago. On the plus side South Africa and Zimbabwe are doing so well!
oh you 🌝
I'm from Africa... French african countries are less developed than British or Italian ones
Dominican Republic is not prosperous
@@Lando-kx6so Compared to Haiti, the DR is looking positively wealthy! PS. My daughter is going to Punta Cana in a few weeks for vacation, NOT Port au Prince.
@@Lando-kx6so I did a google maps street view of the DR and it actually looked better than other latinx nations like Mexico. It looks like the shitty areas of Miami or LA. That’s a step up from the other South American countries 🤷♂️
if african americans are given a majority state to rule it will be haiti plus
No the hell it wouldn’t
If whites are given a majority state it would be Ukraine plus...
Oh wait
@@Jeff-xv6gk racism blinds a lot of people
4:16 Spartacus would like a word.
Spartacus is indeed a great case study but it really had an unfortunate end, Haiti for better or worse survived
Spartacus was in the end defeated but his action were heroic no doubt.
@@mahad88 Spartacus has been an inspiration to me in my life, I originally saw the TV series and went on from there to learn about the actual historical figure . It is a shame more black kids don't learn about him
The world does care. It's just that every time a country tries to help corruption and violence sends them away. Haiti will never change unless 100,000 troops go in and a UN government with no Haitians involved with their corruption is installed and stays permanently. That will never happen so Haiti is on its own because of who they are. You get the government you deserve not the one you want.
And they will spread to the other islands and Florida ruin them also.
They are here in Florida and work at Disney- lazy and rude!
It was not the US that overthrew Aristide in 1991 but rather the Haitian army. The US restored Aristide to power in 1994 in Operation Uphold Democracy, which overthrew the military regime. The questionable coup came in 2004 (this time paramilitary), which Aristide suspects the U.S. had something to do with.
oh..oh ..US restored Aristide after overthrowing him in 1991 ..oh .well thank you sir for this huge favor . I tip my hat for you. . i wish geopolitical worked like your la la land dreams . from 1994 to 91 ..that's 3 years where military junta got full control to lay their roots ,eventually leading to 2004 . when overthrown .. opposition don't immediately vanish , Americans should know .hundreds american soilder dead ..20 years wasted.and taliban still exist in afganistan ..
Every country faces hardships, not all of them survive. But, if it is to survive it needs a strong leader who can defeat the other groups and restore order and stability. Those are the most important qualtiies needed.
I didn’t say this but some black influencer said white man builds and black man destroys..
Casual Scholar also made an excellent video on Haiti. Your video is also great as usual
Casual Scholar video is DUMB lol that man knows nothing of Haiti or Cuba
@@theultimateartist4153 are you replying after seeing. He made video based on economic angle and I liked it
@@HimanshuSingh-lk2my His video was not well researched he left out that Germany was helping Haiti pay the slave loans and that the Hatian military had German assitance which is what originally brought US attention. He left this out and its quite embarrassing that he did
@@theultimateartist4153 agreed
@@HimanshuSingh-lk2my Here is also something you need to learn that he left out, Only Germans and Polish were allowed to hold land access in Haiti which made it difficult for Americans investors to insert their dominance hell even his videos on Cuba never mentioned US sanctions, one day I'm going to make a legit history channel were excellent production value and thoroughly researched execution
Oh my god, this is so bad and as a upper middle-class white woman I'm the only person who can help!
bro what?
No thank u
How can you help ?
0:36 if you pause the video and look at the "mud biscuit" you will see that it is eaten during pregnancy so not hunger
There seems to be a recurring theme..Rwanda comes to mind
The world does care but Haiti did this to itself. Stop trying to get pity points, or go do something yourself
@Marek Cracovia they literally commited genocide against the french
@Marek Cracovia no they should get a job
They are not victims. Their ancestors maybe were but that was 200 years ago.
Europeans commited genocide against eachother too so they too deserve reparations then
@Marek Cracovia The French committed very little genocide. The Haitians fucked themselves over by murdering every whites after obtaining their freedom. They did themselves in.
@@marekcracovia4061 those countries have paid reparations - by taking these people in lol
4:49 what a disingenuous statement, it wasn't because they were blacks that they were marginalized, but because they committed mass genocide against every white people on their territory, including foreign nationals like dutch, english and hispanic traders; their brutality was instantly compared to, as you put it yourself, "the first independent former colonial state of the Americas", which allowed the Loyalists to extradite immediately, and were therefore considered to be utter barbarians. It wasn't helped that at the time France was still a great international power and antagonizing it to catter to an unstable, uncertain micro-state just wasn't diplomatically viable.
Didn't america kill 3 times the amount of the Haitians did during the revolution? Why are judging them differently 🧐?
And raped dominican woman and enslaved them for 22 years after the fact and did voodoo with my ancestors babies and would throw them up and catch it with bayonettes
I wish I had a Time Machine like “guns of the south “
God has got to intervene in this matter.🕊🙏🏾
God please come and save the innocent.🕊🌱
Please.🙏🏾
