It won't make much difference. Venezuelans have a slightly higher intelligence than Haitians so they are able to utilize their resources better and better themselves. Similar to many Persian gulf countries. But if you look at Nigeria which has a low average IQ, even though they have oil resources but they have little to show for it compare to Saudi Arabia for example. Haiti will follow Nigeria's path despite having larger oil reserves. They will continue to be poor save for lucky few. You can't go against nature.

There could be some elements of truth in your opinion. What you have said about Nigerians and their vast oil reserves is quite true, and the same can be said about Haiti and most African countries

November 11, 2012/Africa Union/Haiti

The black race is gradually coming together. Where other world groupings are primarily motivated by strategic, security, political and economic interests, Africans wherever they are can count also on their common history of being black.

Haiti currently has the status of Member Observer with the African Union and submitted to that organization, a formal request for the status of full Associate Member of the Union of Heads of State and Government of Africa, a status that will be effective starting from January 2013.

In January 2011, the Libyan leader Muammar Kaddafi who was killed by NATO in October of the same year asked the following question to delegates who were attending an international conference for the African Diaspora from around the world that he had convened in Tripoli.

“Why shouldn’t people of black descent leaving outside the African mother continent be allowed to have a referendum to decide if they wanted to be part of Africa or not.”

As we know there are many countries out of Africa, particularly in the Caribbean’s Islands, where black people constitute the majority. Even Brazil itself is getting closer to such category.

The admission of Haiti to the African Union is a significant milestone of bringing together the black family of Africans as a people.

May this reunion of Haiti with the mother continent be a strong motivation for other nations with black majorities to see in such strong relationship a source for future prosperity of respective populations either in Africa or concerned countries?

People from the South – where most Blacks are – , have in the past strongly counted on their cooperation with the North for their development. Though the latter is still dominant, there are clear signs that the tides are shifting. The more the former will find in themselves the resources to uplift their populations the better.

Emancipation of Black Movement.........Bado Trinidad&Tobago, Bermuda, Wale wa kule Bahamas, Jamaica, Waliosalia kwenye mashamba ya miwa kule Cuba, na sehemu kubwa ya West Indies!!
 
Hapa kwa mara nyingine twaona fikra za Qaddafi. Kwa kweli Afrika imemkosa mtu muhimu. Pamoja na makosa yote aliyoyafanya ndani ya nchi yake (nani hana?), fikra za Qaddafi zingeendeleza sana Waafrika ambao wengi wanawaogopa wazungu, hawajiamini na wanapenda kuramba.....
Qaddafi hakuwa mbaguzi wa rangi, kama Waarabu wengine: Wamorocco, Wasudan, Wamisri n.k. (yaani mifumo ya serikali). pia alikuwa strategic thinker.
Wajua miongoni mwa masuala yaliyomwua? Alitaka kuwe na sarafu moja ya Afrika itakayokuwa na thamani ya dhahabu (Gold standard currency). Hii ni baada ya viongozi mbumbumbu wa Afrika kukataa pendekezo lake la kuwa na Umoja kamili wa Kisiasa: The United States of Africa.
Itachukua miaka 100 tena kupata mtu mwenye kichwa kama yeye Afrika!

And where are your evidences to backup your lies?. If you are here on this forum to destroy the image of the black race then you are at the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't even believe you are black and I can easily recognise an enemy of the black race.
 
Where are the sons of Africa?

Morocco is the only country in Africa who's not a member of the AU, I mean what does it hurt to join the AU? is it because Morocco wants to join the EU? lol haha that would never happen.

Would joining the AU benefit Morocco in any way?

It was just something I was thinking bout.

Thanks.

I can't believe your comment; Haiti problems have nothing to do with genetic or intelligence. I think you dont know that Haiti was at independance in 1804 the richest island in the west indies. It is the first American military invasion of Haiti in 1915 that destroyed the Haitian economy. When the American invaded the island the U.S. Marines went straight to the Haitian national bank and removed 100% of its gold reserves and transfered it to Citibank in New York City. The Haitian constitution was rewritten by the Americans to allow foreign ownership of Haitian property; land was seized from small peasants to create large plantations; the economy was reorganized so that 100% of Haiti’s gross domestic product flowed to U.S. banks.

Haiti Joins the African Union: A Special Relationship Endures | The Haitian TimesThe Haitian Times


Haiti and Africa, Long Before Columbus
Haiti always had a special relationship with Africa.
Contrary to popular belief, this special relationship did
not start with the transatlantic slave trade; it actually
started with the honorable trade in gold and
agricultural products. According to Dr. Ivan Van
Sertima, in They Came Before Columbus: African
Presence in Ancient America , Haiti was the first
Caribbean country to engage in pre-Columbian trade
with Africa, where Africans cultivated the banana crop
and established settlements in Haiti. Dr. Van Sertima
states that from 1307 to 1312, Abu Bakr III, Emperor of
Mali, commissioned West African merchants, the
Sarakole, who were also the founders of the ancient
empire of Ghana, to establish trading posts in Haiti.
In these trading posts, the West African merchants
introduced the gold trade and the art of alloying gold
with copper and silver to the natives in Haiti. In addition
to the gold trade, Van Sertima asserts that by 1462,
West Africans and Haitians were involved in trading
cotton in its natural state from Guinea, the birthplace of
Francois Mackandal and Jean-Jacques Dessalines as
claimed by most historians.
Nevertheless, despite this lucrative interaction and
transfer of good and services, Haiti and Africa
ultimately became impoverished by transatlantic slave
trade. With 80 percent of its population living in
poverty, Haiti is now the most impoverished country in
the Western Hemisphere. Due to the fact that Haiti
exercises a free market economic system where
agriculture is the main sector of Haiti’s economy, Haiti
does not produce enough food crops and livestock to
feed its people. Haiti imports 60 percent of the food it
needs including 80 percent of the rice it consumes.
Moreover, Haiti’s agricultural system has been
devastated by environmental disasters.
Past environmental disasters, along with the advent of
last fall’s Hurricane Sandy have flooded agricultural
land in Haiti which resulted in the loss of corn, bean,
and banana harvest where 3.3 million Haitians are
without food. The 2010 earthquake with about 52
aftershocks measuring at 4.5 or greater injured about 3
million Haitians with an estimated of 230,000 people
being killed, and 1 million rendered homeless.
Moreover, roughly 250,000 residential areas and
30,000 commercial businesses were seriously damaged
or destroyed.
As a result, various nations in Africa have pledged their
financial and social support to Haiti. For instance, the
Democratic Republic of Congo pledged $2.5 million to
assist Haiti in recovering from the environmental
devastation. In addition, the Senegalese government
extended their land and universities as social safety nets
where displaced Haitians could take shelter and reside.
By 2011, the government of Haiti set forth a vigorous
marketing campaign to attract foreign direct investment
by way of Africa, where sustainable development and
sovereignty could be injected and maintained.
On February 1, 2012, Haitian Ambassador Ady Jean
Gardy (who is also the Chief of Cabinet of the Minister
of Foreign Affairs) met President Thomas Boni Yayi of
the Republic of Benin, who also serves as the president
of the African Union, to confabulate about Haitian
students struggling in Benin and other matters plaguing
Haiti. At their meeting, Ambassador Gardy was able to
secure Haiti’s status as a Member Observer of the
African Union. Ambassador Gardy also made a
requisition to the African Union for Haiti to become a
full Associate Member of the Union of Heads of State
and Government of Africa.
As a result, later this year, Haiti will become a full
Associate Member of the Union of Heads of State and
Government of Africa. To date, with the exception of
Haiti, not one Black country outside of Africa has made
a motion to join the African Union. This is a legacy of
former President René Préval, whose administration
began the application process.
Africa’s Role in the Haitian Revolution
Once Haiti joined the African Union, the African heads
of state gave Haiti encomiums for becoming the first
Black republic outside of Africa that established a
formidable military which abolished slavery and
suppressed the transatlantic slave trade. In 1791, the
inspirational words spoken by Boukman Dutty at Bois
Caiman were Congolese words calling on Ogun, the
orisha and lwa of war, politics, and iron, to reignite the
revolution efforts as set forth by Francois Mackandal in
1754. Many scholars confirm that the brilliant military
strategy of the Haitians came directly from the military
tactics of Congolese veterans and warriors.
According to CLR James in The Black Jacobins: Toussaint
L’Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution, by 1791,
African-Haitians numbered over 700,000 of the total
population in Haiti were a great majority — at least two-
thirds were African-born, particularly from the Congo,
followed by Dahomey (Togo and Benin) and Guinea.
Moreover, James asserts that 60 percent of African
captives in the Americas were held captive in the
plantations of Haiti.
By 1804, the liberator of Haiti, Emperor Jean-Jacques
Dessalines, mandated that all Blacks who emigrated to
Haiti would be citizens of Haiti, and no whites would
own property in Haiti nor would they call themselves
masters. Furthermore, to maintain and stabilize order in
Haiti, King Henry I (Christophe) recruited African
warriors from Dahomey known as the Royal Dahomets.
As a matter of fact, most scholars claim that Toussaint
L’Ouverture’s father was Gaou Guinou, the son of the
King of Arrada in Dahomey who was captured and sold
into slavery. It is also a well-known fact that Vodou was
imported to Haiti by way of Dahomey.
Nonetheless, to showcase their union with Africa, the
leaders of the Haitian Revolution also established a
naval presence on the coastal shores of West Africa to
halt the transatlantic slave trade. As a result, by 1807,
the British abolished the African slave trade, and the
following year, the United States banned the forced
importation of Africans.
Members of the African Union also praised Haiti’s
mid-20th century diplomatic efforts, in which Haitians
upheld the creation of African states; protested against
Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia; supported the Algerian war
of independence against France; advocated for Libya’s
independence; and assisted the African Democratic
Rally (RDA) regarding the decolonization of Africa.
Senegalese President Leopold Senghor, Martinican Poet
Aime Cesaire, and Guianan Writer Leon Dumas, known
as the founders of the global Negritude Movement,
would often cite the Haitian Revolution as giving birth to
the movement. Many scholars also claim that the
Haitian Revolution fueled Pan-Africanism, as evident in
its influence on Nat Turner, Denmark Vesey, Gabriel
Prosser, Frederick Douglass (who became United States
minister in Haiti), Marcus Garvey, Patrice Lumumba and
countless revolutionary leaders of the African
decolonization movement during the 1960’s.
The Benefits of Joining the Union
The relationship between Haiti and Africa will hopefully
reconnect others in the Diaspora with Africa where
economic empowerment, political independence, and
cultural sustainability could create various sovereign
nation-states within and outside of Africa.
Currently, seven out of ten of the world’s fastest
growing economies are in Africa. With 29 stock
exchanges that represent 39 nations’ capital markets,
Africa is a major global economic player. African Union
member status for Haiti should create a Pan-African
market entry and economic strategy for African and
Haitian investors that could assist in economic
development by creating employment opportunities and
providing higher wages where technological know-how
and intellectual property are kept in house. Moreover,
joining the African Union should assist in eradicating
poverty and lessen the dependence on western aid.
Hence, the focus of such a union should be on Pan-
African trade, innovation, technology transfer, food
security, health care, environmental sustainability,
gender equality and empowerment, education and the
production of knowledge — all areas that would ensure
global African sovereignty at home and abroad.
Dr. Patrick Delices is a Haitian scholar who taught the
History of Haiti, Caribbean Politics, African-American
Politics, and African-Caribbean International Relations
at Hunter College; and served as a research fellow at
Columbia University for the late, Pulitzer Prize-writing
historian.

Beautiful Black Man


by Victoria Z


Like a lion that stands over his pride
And has dominion over his land
You are fearfully and wonderfully made
Strong Beautiful Black Man
You are a centrifugal and driving force
That draws me deeply into you


You are everything that my heart desires
Your love I could never refuse
Even in those times when it seems
That the world knows not your name
I will always be there to remind you
Of your strength, your pride and your fame


Though most personify fear of you
Because of what they do not know
For it is not what their eyes can see
But rather what their hearts truthfully know
That your abilities are limitless
Your hands can accomplish any task
Even when it seems impossible


You always manage to show contrast
I am only trying to reassure you
That I am the exception to the rule
That I will love you no matter what
Win, draw, or lose
Even when you are feeling
That you have lost your place in this land
Sometimes being portrayed and even told
That you are less than a man
Don’t you give in to anger


Please don’t hold your head down
Exhibit your strength and your pride
Remember, you wear a crown
Because You are still a King amongst Kings
In my world, you are high in demand
Remember, I do love you no matter what
My Strong Beautiful Black Man!
