Haiti back for the millions it demanded and got from Haiti for having the chutzpah to overthrow their colonialism over the island nation. The international community, including the US, back France's play and Haiti paid yearly until as recently as 1947.

Outrageous. And they refuse to hear of making reparations...par for course it seems when it comes to Black people/nations.
