Let's discuss the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. What exactly went wrong?

They killed all the white people.
Now they want to live in my white (deal with it, faggots) neighbourhood.

Reparations. Basically when their gold reserves could have gone to industrial revolution, they instead went to french coffers to pay off some old aristocrats' relatives.
If you think the Germans had it bad after ww2, Haitians were basically paying the majority of their GDP to France for almost a century.
Socialism.
oh wait there were never socialist and they are the worst shithole on earth
>>60470481
>Reparations
For what?
>>60470554
Kicking out the poor innocent slaveowners
>>60470032
god hates them because they practice voodoo
>>60471245
God a shit
Excessive US intervention to make sure wages are depressed and working conditions don't improve in Haiti, repeated environmental disasters, corruption.
>>60470554
After Napoleon married some pissant ex-slaveowner's daughter, they ended up getting everything they wanted from him and they still backstabbed him and seceded the remaining colonies to bongistan because muh Bourbons.
But basically you can blame Josephine. They were still paying the stupid things all the way to the Franco-Prussian war.

I DIDNT MEAN TO END HIS LIFE I KNEW IT WASNT RIGHT I CANT EVEN SLEEP AT NIGHT CANT GET IT OFF MY MIND
the haitians who come here have literally zero european genes. they make our favela monkeys look aryan
Is Dominican Republic any better?
>>60471533
haitians are the blackest new world blacks
"The gene pool of Haiti is about 95.5% Sub-Saharan African, 4.3% European, with the rest showing some traces of East Asian genes;[224] according to a 2010 autosomal genealogical DNA testing. The same study found that Jamaica’s gene pool is 78.3% Sub-Saharan African, 16.0% European, and 5.7% East Asian."

The only person I know who went there was mugged. Beside that he said it was great.
>>60471561
literally every country in the Americas is better than Haiti
>>60471404
I do too, but it's very complicated and it never gets talked about in mainstream politics because both sides get away with it to fill their pockets. Clinton, who in all likelihood is going to be our next president, has played a large role in keeping Haiti poor. Obama has fucked up some stuff there too. But anyone who questions these things too much ends up being a labeled an edgy leftist or commie or whatever the buzzword of the year is and nobody does anything.

Is this Native American admixture, or was there a Chinese community in Haiti and Jamaica that I don't know of? Or both?

All you lazy, non-critical thinking motherfuckers should consider that all the other Caribbean African-diaspora nations are actually above average developed, and are safer and more developed than most of central and South America. (Looking at u Brazil.) "Hurr durr black ppl" isn't an explanation. Haiti is less developed than some parts of Africa even, it's better to explain things in terms of history and economics and all that, you know the things that actually have an effect.
>>60471739
I assume there have been Chinese people there, there's Chinese everywhere. A very, very small number of people from Madagascar were included in the Atlantic slave trade and they have Southeast Asian admixture, traces of which have been found in African diaspora populations

You are on 4chan. Do you really think that people will read seriously your comment and start constructive discussions?
>>60471767
Jesus Christ. That's a fascinating concept, Malagasy-Americans. Sounds kinda cool desu DESU. Where did the slave traders NOT take slaves from?
>>60471740
>th-the Caribbean microstates
HAHAHAHA EVERY TIME.
>>60471739
a bunch of Jamaican's I've met had some chinese (or indian) heritage.
>>60471740
i just come here to meme, sorry
>>60471739
I posted the DNA stuff to explain why haitians are so dark skinned, not to explain their poverty

My uncle was in Haiti for 6 months in 2010 as peacekeeper for MINUSTAH (pic related his room).
Some officers attempted to explain Haiti’s poverty, in particular relative to the Dominican Republic, with geographic factors. They pointed out that the winds coming mostly from the east were blocked by high mountains, reducing rainfall for the Haitian part of the island. This combined with the lower soil quality and greater population density led to deforestation in Haiti, while the Dominican Republic maintained its forest cover and high-quality soil.
Even more popular than military’s geographic explanation are cultural ones.
They are poor because of it's own people, they have the highest illiteracy index of the whole continent, they have no industry, no agriculture, no fertil soil, they're lazy and violent, and their politicians are corrupt as shit.
>>60471922
>dark skinned
Just call them niggers, jesus christ
>>60471999
But his point is that they're a dark variety of nigger
>>60471999
Are all Gernan posters this incompetent?
>>60472040
No, are you?
>>60471808
Wow why would I compare a Caribbean island nation to other Caribbean island nations? I can't for the life of my think of why.
>>60471801
Well they made up a tiny tiny proportion of the slave trade but yeah its pretty interesting

>>60472193
I'm surprised transporting slaves all that extra distance was economically viable
>>60471561
>GDP per capita 8x as large
>GNI almost 10x higher
>Literacy rate at 93% vs Haiti's 60
>Mostly mixed and White
>Living standards are Eastern Europe tier instead of West Africa
The facts speak for themselves
