Until she spoke, no Christian nation had abolished Negro slavery.

Until she spoke,
no Christian nation had given to the world an organized effort to abolish slavery.

Until she spoke, the slave ship, followed by hungry sharks, greedy to devour the dead and dying slaves flung overboard to feed them, ploughed in peace the South Atlantic, painting the sea with the Negro's blood.


Until she spoke,
the slave trade was sanctioned by all the Christian nations of the world, and our land of liberty and light included. Men made fortunes by this infernal traffic, and were esteemed as good Christians, and the standing types and representations of the Savior of the World.

Until Haiti spoke,
the church was silent, and the pulpit was dumb. Slave-traders lived and slave-traders died. Funeral sermons were preached over them, and of them it was said that they died in the triumphs of the Christian faith and went to heaven among the just.

This segment was extracted from  Lecture on Haiti, by Frederick Douglass and edited in its present form by Guy S. Antoine in July 1998.

Funny how some Christian Haitians were quick to brain fart the idea that Haitians made a pact with satan to obtain their God-given freedom. Meanwhile, those exemplary Christians of that day intended to keep their(Christian Haitians) ancestors in bondage.

I read an article about that too.  I really hate it when people categorize haiti as this satanic/voodoo country.  Go to Brazil and other parts of the world, you will find similar practices of voodoo. Yet Haiti gets sh*t on!!!. 

 Look at David Blaine. He is doing magic and profitting from it, while we haitians are getting blamed for it. Haiti is truly misunderstood, which why people are so prejudice against us.

i read an article about the prejudice against haitians in Jamaica, DR and in the Bahamas.  Haitinas literally have to hide their identity, and change their names or else they will face being deported or harrassed. Oh, don't forget the harsh labor that we do. Funny, cause i surely don't see any dominicans, Jamaicans, Bahamians doing it !!!!
