Haiti Doesn’t Have a ‘Gang’ Problem, It Has a US Imperialism Problem w/ Dr. Jemima Pierre

Haiti doesn’t have a ‘gang’ problem, it has a US imperialism problem, says Dr. Jemima Pierre, Professor of Global Race in the Institute of Race, Gender, Sexuality and Social Justice (GRSJ) at the University of British Columbia and a member of Black Alliance for Peace. Pierre joins hosts Eugene and Rania to discuss the nationwide uprisings in Haiti where thousands of demonstrators have flooded the streets calling for the ouster of the unelected Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The unrest follows Henry's call for foreign intervention in October 2022, which sparked repeated waves of protests. Heightened by a deepening humanitarian crisis under his leadership and Kenyan President Ruto’s pledge to send Kenyan police to Haiti, demands for Henry's resignation have intensified.

@@martysmith5260 can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not. Given my 7th great grandfather wrote most of the Constitution, helped on wording on the Declaration of Independence, fought the British, inspired the country to revolution before many others, was the best lawyer in the colonies, was the father of the court and the first Supreme Court Justice, and that my family has fought in every war since 1775, I think I have sufficient "street cred" to call my country "imperialist". You can disagree-at least, until those rights disappear too thanks to the knuckleheads in Congress seeking to declare anyone who supports Palastinian liberation an enemy of the state. Haitians overthrew their BRUTAL and DISGUSTING French enslavers, and they have EVERY RIGHT to tell us to GTFO their lawn. As do Puerto Ricans, whom I also consider my revolutionary kin. My family's choices weren't always ideal and I have to bear that burden of stepping up in what small capacity that I can and tell others who wish to make those same mistakes-or worse ones-off for it. Revolution and fighting injustice is part of my Christian ethics. I'm not permitted to sit on my ass and do nothing while genocides and unlawful imperialist colonial projects go down. The US government has left plenty of legacy to develop that "gut reaction" of mine. Maybe, if Nixon & Reagan hadn't been such BIGOTED reactionary fucks, murderers, and imperialists alongside their colleagues, then JUST MAYBE I wouldn't have felt the need throw off my Republican trappings for the hypocrisy it entailed and eventually find myself an anarchoecosocialist Green? Maybe, if US politicians weren't so keen on shoving their heads up their asses farther than the vanity twins bickering to see who would drop dead first while their fundamental policies towards BIPOC Americans remained effectively identical (That's John Adams and Thomas Jefferson in case you were wondering), maybe then I wouldn't feel the need to worsen my carpal tunnel syndrome replying to people on Social Media and taking part in different forms of activism, and instead focus on my own health. But, when I see people getting their rights stripped away or genocided, it makes my health secondary (particularly since sleeping at that point is a luxury). So, please, excuse me for pulling rank, but I think if any multiethnic mutt can call America a "racist/ethnicist, imperialist, rentier finance capitalist hellscape" that has its priorities so fucked that it boggles my central nervous system, sorry/not sorry, I do. I am gonna call a fuckwich a fuckwich and not prance around deluding myself otherwise. You don't let your family kill themselves or somebody else just because acknowledging the reality of the situation is difficult for you to cope with. You don't stick you head up your ass and pretend that those suffering around you don't exist. You get off you ass and do what you can. Also, WTF is the point of wearing a Che Guevara shirt when your implied intent is that I am engaging in ignorant performative activism-cuz "America is awesome" or "DEEPLY flawed, but criticizing it hurts the people who are DEEPLY rooted in that cockfuckery and SUPPOSEDLY doing "their part" while 2klb bombs fall on children in Gaza. Sorry/not sorry, but Grandpa Wilson didn't write *_Considerations on the Nature and Extent of the Legislative Authority of the British Parliament (1774)_* just to suck up to his peers. Grandpa Wilson (7th GG) was a flawed person who did some genuinely stupid shit (with, for the best that I can tell, good intentions-thinking the Union was the only way slavery was going to end; while acknowledging the attitudes of his peers/himself; GG whacked him upside the head at least once in account of his home life, but either way, the point is, I can acknowledge his good points & shit talk his fuckups too). Acting like this country is some fucking divine right existence is ethically repugnant. If it wasn't, then my 2nd great grandfather, Big Bill Haywood wouldn't have had to help found the Wobblies. 🙄 This country is FILLED with a grotesque and unrighteous history, as are countless others. It's just that the US likes to have this social narrative that "we are different, better, more morale". I don't like having to acknowledge that my country in WWII with regards to the trial of Japanese war criminals was disgusting and unethical, and the fucking Soviet Union (no offense, just trying to make a rhetorical point) was orders of MAGNITUDE more ethical by actually holding those criminals, like the members of Unit 731, accountable-whereas the US gave them immunity and exchanges that for them to develop the US bioweapons program. How do you think *I* feel about that? Or how I feel about the cowardly dishonorable behavior of the US government and US Army with regards to 1st and 2nd nations, or all the times the US colonized and murdered people? Or how Smedley Butler and countless others were used as cannon fodder and mobsters, but without a fraction of the mob's ethic, to overthrow government after government, and fuck over other countries that sought self-sufficiency and liberation? Sorry/not sorry. I am sick and tired of bad faith actors trying to claim righteous indignation when someone well enough versed in American hegemony calls them out, and calls my society out, for its crimes and wrongdoing. If the descendants of Lee can admit to the wrongdoing of their ancestors and to this country's legacy, then what's got you so uptight?

[@Dragoon91786]

@martysmith5260 can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not. Given my 7th great grandfather wrote most of the Constitution, helped on wording on the Declaration of Independence, fought the British, inspired the country to revolution before many others, was the best lawyer in the colonies, was the father of the court and the first Supreme Court Justice, and that my family has fought in every war since 1775, I think I have sufficient "street cred" to call my country "imperialist". You can disagree-at least, until those rights disappear too thanks to the knuckleheads in Congress seeking to declare anyone who supports Palastinian liberation an enemy of the state. Haitians overthrew their BRUTAL and DISGUSTING French enslavers, and they have EVERY RIGHT to tell us to GTFO their lawn. As do Puerto Ricans, whom I also consider my revolutionary kin. My family's choices weren't always ideal and I have to bear that burden of stepping up in what small capacity that I can and tell others who wish to make those same mistakes-or worse ones-off for it. Revolution and fighting injustice is part of my Christian ethics. I'm not permitted to sit on my ass and do nothing while genocides and unlawful imperialist colonial projects go down. The US government has left plenty of legacy to develop that "gut reaction" of mine. Maybe, if Nixon & Reagan hadn't been such BIGOTED reactionary fucks, murderers, and imperialists alongside their colleagues, then JUST MAYBE I wouldn't have felt the need throw off my Republican trappings for the hypocrisy it entailed and eventually find myself an anarchoecosocialist Green? Maybe, if US politicians weren't so keen on shoving their heads up their asses farther than the vanity twins bickering to see who would drop dead first while their fundamental policies towards BIPOC Americans remained effectively identical (That's John Adams and Thomas Jefferson in case you were wondering), maybe then I wouldn't feel the need to worsen my carpal tunnel syndrome replying to people on Social Media and taking part in different forms of activism, and instead focus on my own health. But, when I see people getting their rights stripped away or genocided, it makes my health secondary (particularly since sleeping at that point is a luxury). So, please, excuse me for pulling rank, but I think if any multiethnic mutt can call America a "racist/ethnicist, imperialist, rentier finance capitalist hellscape" that has its priorities so fucked that it boggles my central nervous system, sorry/not sorry, I do. I am gonna call a fuckwich a fuckwich and not prance around deluding myself otherwise. You don't let your family kill themselves or somebody else just because acknowledging the reality of the situation is difficult for you to cope with. You don't stick you head up your ass and pretend that those suffering around you don't exist. You get off you ass and do what you can. Also, WTF is the point of wearing a Che Guevara shirt when your implied intent is that I am engaging in ignorant performative activism-cuz "America is awesome" or "DEEPLY flawed, but criticizing it hurts the people who are DEEPLY rooted in that cockfuckery and SUPPOSEDLY doing "their part" while 2klb bombs fall on children in Gaza. Sorry/not sorry, but Grandpa Wilson didn't write *_Considerations on the Nature and Extent of the Legislative Authority of the British Parliament (1774)_* just to suck up to his peers. Grandpa Wilson (7th GG) was a flawed person who did some genuinely stupid shit (with, for the best that I can tell, good intentions-thinking the Union was the only way slavery was going to end; while acknowledging the attitudes of his peers/himself; GG whacked him upside the head at least once in account of his home life, but either way, the point is, I can acknowledge his good points & shit talk his fuckups too).

its been 1804 since 1804 in haiti. the revolution never ended because the west never stopped invading and meddling in haitis affairs

[@C1K450]

They wanna make sure Haiti doesn’t become the next Cold War era Cuba, trying to align with Russia and China. If that happens, they will buff up the Dominican Republic in case you try something anyways. That means introducing western ideology and policies, giving them technology, making their military powerful, and modernizing their infrastructure like what they did to South Korea to counter North Korea, Japan to counter China/Russia/North Korea, Taiwan to counter China, and at one point South Vietnam to counter North Vietnam. All buffer/satellite states to the United States and to some extent, the European Union.

She was biased on some of her assessments, particularly about Senator Guy Phillipe. She must be a Lavalas.

[@OptionsAnonymous]

Trash in the streets is a way of life. I live in Haiti and there is no trash pickup, no running water, no electricity for years. The roads are completely destroyed, corruption is everywhere, people cannot get around, banks are being attacked, the well to do have all left. No one is left but the poor.

[@allanleeth2415]

How did you comment without electricity ? Just curious.

[@OptionsAnonymous]

We have small solar system with batteries. The government provides zero electricity for the country. Zero.

[@roctv100]

One thing I want to point out that corruption within the Haitian government has always been a problem no matter the US involvement. The major problem with Haiti is the lack of Unity and Integrity among the people.

Missionaries are a big part of that Imperialism problem.

[@wasua100]

Haiti is a sovereign state and its government cannot be absolved from any accountability, this attempt to always blame the West and racism should be reconsidered. Also one second Haiti wants the world to assist the next minute it doesn't want any Western help should be addressed. I bet my last dollar that the same protest you see today will occur again when the Kenyan led police force last for only a week.

[@Pantherblack-lk3ni]

Thanks for covering this!

[@simonjusticier333]

US and Western imperialism is truly the problem, with 1804 as their bitter reference to continue their demonization, isolation, and humiliation of Haiti. Haiti in 1804 and to this day, is Venezuela, Iran, north Korea wrapped into one with the difference of not having any ally or friends. Even the African Union rejected Haiti's bid to join as a full member. SMH

[@Resilientlyblessed]

Many African nations are led by western puppets, the rejection can’t be taken personally. Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger are highlighting these very real issues in the continent. Africa is still carrying a weight. When Africa is truly free, so will we be.
