Hi, a few quick essential points for historical accuracy.

Haiti only occupied DR under J-P Boyer for only 22 years and the Dominincans invited Haiti to take over ( yes they invited Haiti in) as protection against Spain.

So, they need to check their own historical archives before being mad about occupation.

The letter inviting Haiti to take over, the proof, is in Spain National Archives according to Bob Heinl.

I did not cite any name of any DR dictator, you did. The DR can deny their african ancestry all they want, but what is is. In fact, the latin former spain colonies try very hard to distance themselves from any african blood but again the mother land is the mother land and that's where mankind started.

so....

The two people need to come together and exchange apologies.

What happened was the Spaniard colonists did not exterminate the native population through enslavement like the French did on the Haitian side. So a number of DR people are clearly native taino.

But before Haiti's independence, the maroon slaves from St Domingue found safe heaven over the border into the DR..

Unfortunately over the years, they have become more and more prejudice about skin complexion.

Well, Haiti must fix its internal affairs before dealing with the DR - Haiti antagonism.

Thanks

Hi, Thank you Mr. Peters for your concern toward my beloved Haiti. Certainly, Wyclef is great patriot and we thank him every day for showing true love for the land of his ancestors. However, I am afraid you fall also into the same category of well-in > >

Hi, By the way, how many Haitians actors are starring in that movie. Why isn't Fabienne Colas playing the role of Toussaint's mistress; Fabienne is our great hope. Thanks > >

I had a similar idea to develop the island of la Gonave as a tourist resort independent of whatever might be going on in Haiti ( not as elaborate as yours of course) But you are missing one major point here: with so many mediocre thieves working in t > >

All you are saying is very true. My advice to all Haitians diaspora and natives is to unite and be positive. You have to come together and work as one. I believe that it is possible to soften ignorant people and help them love their people and the > >

Haitian actors would be nice but that is the least important issue. The main issue is to expose Haiti to the world. Most people around the world are not very well educated and do not know world history. They do not know the importance Haiti played > >

All you have said about countries such as France, the United States, the Dominican Republic and other countries isolating Haiti, raping Haiti, stealing from Haiti, giving Haiti a bad reputation and so forth is true. The Bible says that the meek will > >

Hello. Thank you for responding to my message. I am glad to see that you care about Haiti as well. A little bit about myself: I am a retired entertainment promoter from New York City. I now live in the Dominican Republic (at least half of the ti > >
