[S]omething happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. Napoleon the Third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, “We will serve you if you get us free from the prince.” True story. And so the devil said, “OK, it’s a deal.” They kicked the French out, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free.
But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It’s cut down the middle, on the one side is Haiti, on the other side is the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island.
It’s surprisingly hard to say why Haiti is so poor, but I think we can dismiss that devil-based theory.
But was there a pact with the devil? I would also note that the Haitian Revolution began in 1791, years before Napoleon took over France as Consul. Napoleon III didn’t come to power until 1848. So clearly Robertson is confused on the basic history. But I believe that Robertson is referring to the Bois Caïman Ceremony that in Haitian national mythology initiated the revolution. This was a Vodou ceremony and the following text is normally attributed to its leader, Boukman:
The god who created the earth; who created the sun that gives us light. The god who holds up the ocean; who makes the thunder roar. Our God who has ears to hear. You who are hidden in the clouds; who watch us from where you are. You see all that the white has made us suffer. The white man’s god asks him to commit crimes. But the god within us wants to do good. Our god, who is so good, so just, He orders us to revenge our wrongs. It’s He who will direct our arms and bring us the victory. It’s He who will assist us. We all should throw away the image of the white men’s god who is so pitiless. Listen to the voice for liberty that speaks in all our hearts.
If you were a white, Catholic French person or Haitian plantation owner, I can see why you would characterize this as a prayer offered “to the devil.” The black Haitians are postulating the existence of two Gods, one for the whites and one for the blacks. The whites regard the God they pray to as the one true God. So if the blacks are praying to some second god, and doing it with a Vodou ceremony, it stands to reason that they’re engaged in a satanic ritual of some sort.
YES! The Haitian nation state should want all its people back! Bring them back! Welcome them back!
DON'T blame the nations who have brought them in as "refugees." BLAME YOUR NATION for any reason that they felt they had to flee, from their own nation and family. WELCOME THEM BACK! They are YOUR people! Welcome them back!
The thing is that the clowns have created shitty conditions all over, specifically to weaponize entire populations of humans against other humans. Once we put an end to that kind of shit, people will be happy to live in peace where they are.
Take them back home with you. We are tired of your mess. America has done all it can to help your voodoo nation. America will no longer sow seed into bad ground.
And that goes for any other America hating parasite nation.
American people have worked too hard to be disrespected on their land by representatives of corrupt,poor nations.
They should seek to move.
His country is so nice he can come here and lecture us under the umbrella of the UN that we are also paying for and hosting on our soil. I'm so tired of arrogant lying hypocritical f*ckers.
They're asking for reparations after coming here illegally? Are you kidding me?
TBH I think they have been pounded by Clintons, earthquake etc., but they and the other illegals need to be deported.
You can have your feral animals back
He can take them home with him so they can be treated more humanely. I hope the cannibal gangs don't make mean statements while they barbeque them.
Preferably in a box!

They slayed ALL whites! French or nor, slave holders or not!
It was . . . a blood bath . . .
This. Women. Children, babies.
No way!! Go HOME
YES! The Haitian nation state should want all its people back! Bring them back! Welcome them back!

YOU Haiti, owe them reparations. We don't.
Make Haiti livable and take care of your people so they don't need to come here...how about that?
how about they stay / go home regardless of what is considered "livable"
The thing is that the clowns have created shitty conditions all over, specifically to weaponize entire populations of humans against other humans. Once we put an end to that kind of shit, people will be happy to live in peace where they are.
Go pound sand.
Take them back home with you. We are tired of your mess. America has done all it can to help your voodoo nation. America will no longer sow seed into bad ground.

Take a number.
