I understand what you're saying, but the fact that our government is being intimidated by foreign governments doesn't mean that we are not ready for democracy.

Furthermore i think it was offensive to say that other black republics weren't ready for democracy either.

A comment like this implies that we aren't good enough.

The problem with Haiti and most other black republics is that they are too reliant on countries like the US for aid. As long as we are dependent on them for our most basic needs they will always be in a position to tell what to do. We need to be a little more self-reliant.
