When I see a Haitian, I almost always think I am looking at a Congolese.

And why not.   They have shown, consistently over a long period, that they have all the "requisite" attributes.

Yes they have.  Haiti's history is fascinating.  The slave revolt was possible partly because of a dangerously large population of recently arrived slaves, many of them from the same part of Africa, mostly Congo.  This was generally considered a bad idea by slavers.

Things started to go South immediately the French were eliminated with Jean-Jacques Dessalines declaring himself emperor, the country splitting up into two factions shortly after his assassination.

I hope another Baby Doc takes over the country and joins the other Papa Docs of Africa like M7 and Mugabe.
