It's not very hard at all.
FACTS ABOUT HAITI:
On Christmas Eve 1492 Christopher Columbus ran his flagship, the Santa Maria, aground at what is now Hati and had to strand 39 of his crew there. Thus began the long, sad, modern history of a cursed nation.
Over the years while both Spain and France claimed Hati, the place became one of the original shitholes of the Caribbean as a haven for pirates preying on shipping in the new world.
Eventually, the island of Hispaniola was partitioned with the western third being French and the eastern two thirds Spanish. These are the modern nations of Haiti (French speaking) and the Dominican Republic (Spanish Speaking.)
Large numbers of Africans were brought to Haiti as slaves to work the sugar cane fields. About a third of these African slaves died within the first year they were enslaved due to the harsh climate and diseases rampant there.
Precisely because there was a constant influx of new slaves from Africa, the slave population in Haiti was able to retain its West African languages and religions rather than assimilate into the dominant French culture.
Around 1804 the slaves revolted. This was not some shining intellectual exercise where the best and brightest among them wrote treatises on liberty and the rule of law. This was a brutal African tribal conflict. In modern terms, it was a race war. The slaves murdered, raped, looted, plundered and burned what is now Haiti till there was not a white man, woman or child left alive.
Let that sink in. Haiti was founded in a race war where racist blacks murdered almost all the white people including children. A few white women were allowed to live if they agreed to marry non-white men.
Nominally Catholic, the actual religion of Haiti to this day is VooDoo which is a mixture of Roman Catholicism with African Witch Doctor's animal sacrifices and pagan rituals. For more than 200 years there has been no slavery in Haiti.
There has also been precious little culture, or civilization, there either; with the former slaves living much as they did in primitive African jungles under tribal chieftains and witch-doctors.
They have been ruled by the law of the jungle under a series of brutal chiefs and dictators who sometimes usurped European titles by variously calling themselves general, king, president and even once a self-styled "Emperor."
Among the cruelest and feared of these was "Papa Doc" Duvalier and later his son "Baby Doc" whose secret police, known as Tonton Macoutes, were every bit as brutal and hated as the Soviet KGB. They terrorized and looted Hati for much of the twentieth century.
Climate and geography have not favored this storied slave empire either. It is almost as if Haiti is the land God forgot. They have endured a series of floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes that have inflicted great cost both financial and in the loss of human lives.
The twenty-first century saw the proverbial tenth plague inflicted on Haiti when the Clinton Foundation descended on Haiti like a vulture on a rotting corpse. The Clintons raised billions from gullible donors, supposedly for the relief or the poor in Haiti, and like other pirates and witch-doctors before them pocketed the cash, while doing nothing for the poorest in Haiti.
The United nations rate the economic development of a nation with something called a Human Development Index. Haiti rates dead last in the western hemisphere and 163rd in the entire world, behind even North Korea and much of Africa.
[The USA and Canada are tied for 10th place in the world with an HRI of 0.920. Haiti is number 163 in the world with an HRI of only 0.493, while the Dominican Republic, on the same island, is number 99 in the world with an HRI of 0.722]
The Clintons made millions looting the poorest all-black nation in the western hemisphere... while calling Republicans racists. Unfortunately, President Trump is right, Haiti is, in fact, a shithole, as it has been for over two hundred years. There is a special place in hell for those like the Clintons, who have helped create and maintain, that reality.
Language, culture, race, religion, economic and political systems absolutely matter. To prove my assertion, one needs to look no further than the other side of the same island. The Dominican Republic is full of world-class resorts and many rich Americans regularly vacation there, many even buying second homes there.
As Paul Harvey used to say... now you know the rest of the story!
