Haiti: Race war, Black codes or both?

If the thought police would allow Black leaders to connect the dots and think outside the box, they would be telling us that people of African ancestry are in the throes of a race war. The thought police, to set the record straight, forbade Blacks from engaging in critical, strategic, analytical and innovative thinking. The fear or inability to think guarantees, at the very least, the maintenance of the status quo.


The bugging of the offices of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan; the United States’ kidnapping of Haitian President Jean-Betrand Aristide; the economic sanctions against Robert Mugabe and his beloved country, Zimbabwe; the genocidal war aimed at Black males in this country, to cite a few examples, are no reasons to sound the alarm if each of these incidents is viewed separately and unrelated to a common thread.


A bipolar relationship exists between descendants of enslaved Africans and descendants of our white oppressors. The corollary of white supremacy is Black subjugation. White supremacy fuses abnormal psychology with racism and eugenics, and white supremacy, to be sure, should not be confused with prejudice and racial hatred.


In Plessy v. Ferguson, Supreme Court Justice John Harlan, in a lone dissent, argued that the abolition of Jim Crow in 1896 would be insufficient to do great violence to white supremacy. It would take this nation nearly six decades before it would embrace Harlan’s political reasoning. Fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, white supremacy is still alive and kicking.


Harlan asserted: “Our Constitution is color-blind and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens.” On the flip side of his inchoate argument, he strenuously asserted, earlier in his dissent: “The white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is, in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth and in power.” As the most liberal member of the Court in its history, Harlan was a white supremacist and also an opponent of Jim Crow.


If Haiti had been an island of white indentured servants who had overthrown their white colonial masters and had sided with George Washington and his posse in the American Revolution, giving rise to the Louisiana Purchase, Haiti would still be the recipient of a generous annual stipend from the United States. It would be the top banana in the Western Hemisphere.


White supremacy can only succeed if whites are economically and politically independent and Blacks, as a group, are invariably dependent, economically and politically. There are no exceptions to this rule. Any other variables would offend white supremacy.


This means that Blacks must automatically embrace notions of submission and sell out. It is not a question of adopting the rule of least resistance. There must be no resistance. Compromise and conciliation are intolerable, and tactics of confrontation and combat, political and legal, are illegal.


France was the richest country in Europe in the eighteenth century, and St. Domingo was the richest colony in the Western Hemisphere. More than one-fifth of France’s gross national product came from sugar, coffee and indigo produced by enslaved Africans. When our ancestors stopped financing their own oppression in St. Domingo, France went into an economic nosedive.


This crisis had a devastating effect on the House of Rothchilds, which had substantial holdings of French stock. It is not surprising that France, aided and abetted by Britain and the United States, would put Haiti in a headlock, after 1804, to save international finance. Haiti would have to cough up 150 million francs, approximately $22 billion in today’s dollars. Haiti is still reeling from this extortion plot.


By 1803, Napoleon was broke. He needed cash. Although the Louisiana Purchase was a bargain, the United States lacked the financial resources to consummate the deal. The investment houses Barings and Hopes purchased Louisiana from France and resold it to the United States, with interest, for $15 million, of which this country deducted $3.75 million for its claims against France. Nonetheless, France still received 52 million francs, a fraction of Haiti’s ransom.
The Haitian economy was booby trapped from its inception. Alexander Hamilton influenced the writing of Haiti’s first Constitution. Haiti was initially isolated diplomatically, thanks to Thomas Jefferson, for six decades, and similarly, this nation subjected Haiti to a prolonged economic embargo. The U.S. Marines occupied Haiti from 1915 until 1934 while Franklin D. Roosevelt, as a member of the Wilson Administration, was tampering with Haiti’s Constitution.


This same recipe is being pursued in Iraq. Historically oppressed groups have never been able to survive and thrive under a constitutional framework written by occupying powers. These governing laws, in Haiti and Iraq, based on the U.S. Constitution, call for cutthroat capitalism. The beneficiaries are the financial minorities who are allied with the occupying forces.


Until Haiti is able to secure reparations and enjoy UN protection from the United States, France and Britain, Haiti will always be a hopelessly international, dependent state. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld describes Haiti as a failed state and, therefore, a threat to the United States. Secretary of State Colin Powell argues that even though Aristide was democratically elected, he was a flawed political manager. Interestingly, Powell is serving in an unelected regime.
