Haiti is basically a failed state.

So similar to Africa...
Then one might dare to ask "why?"

The "why" isn't PC...so PC wins.

The shocking assassination of Haiti’s president means U.S. must get off the sidelines and act

The editorial board from the Miami Herald believes that the US needs to take action in Haiti.

Op ed piece, that basically states the US needs to do something, but offers nothing of substance of what that would consist of.

Seems a bit of stretch to me. Hell, there are probably some folks that might think the assassination itself was the US getting off the sidelines and taking action in Haiti.

Why is it that her sister nation on that island, the DR, has none of the level of poverty and disfunction that Haiti has?

What is it that the US should do for Haiti? Send in a team of diplomats from Louisiana to explain to them how to run their country? Louisiana is the only state with folks that speak creole and even there it is more than likely a dying language.

Maybe Quebec or France should step up to the plate, since that is the other language used in Haiti.

We don't even do right by Puerto Rico, and we're supposed to do right by Haiti?

Pfffttt...

I assume their rationale comports with the Monroe Doctrine, namely that the U.S. wants no foreign powers coming in & getting involved in the Americas. This story, so far, is very muddled, & peculiar (fishy sounding). If one wanted to stage a coup, in some nation in the Americas, Haiti would be one of the least stable governments to topple. (Though who knows, there is animus directed at Haitians by their neighbors on the island, the Dominican Republic, as well). There is a precedent, as we invaded their island, and took charge of Haiti from 1915 - 1934.

Why Black Americans should care about what’s happening in Haiti & Cuba

OPINION: The ongoing conflicts in the island nations have repercussions in America where punishment is meted out for any threat to white supremacy

A lot of people have been blowing me up over the last two weeks asking me to speak up about what’s happening in Cuba and normally I would, as it’s always been my way to lend a voice in these times.

But as a woman of Haitian and Cuban lineage living in the United States, this subject hits home in a very personal way. And so I took some time to reflect and ask myself, “What message could I possibly convey to my American friends about why they should care about any of this? How does this impact them?”

And as is usually the case when it comes to the diaspora, the answer to that query can be found by taking a look at history.
