@baroh2413 I am saying that it appears that you know very little about this man, or the times which he spoke in. "who feeds off negative energy".... you mean the negative racist energy that was prevalent among many Americans of European decent at the time?

A quick transcription for anyone who wants it (sorry for the rudimentary grammar in my typing): “In 1803 Haiti was the most democratic country in the world. It was the only country in the world that did not allow slavery in its borders - only country in the world, in 1803. Once you properly understand this history, because you know the capitalist pigs have such a way of making it appear that we’ve never done anything as Africans. We don’t know democracy. We dont know democracy. In 1803 Africans gave the the freest world, the freest nation to the entire world - the only country in the world that did not allow slavery was Haiti and not only did not allow it but the only country in the world that put its natural resources to its fighting against any oppression was Haiti. Simon Bolivar, who liberated South America, anyone who knows history knows it was Haiti that gave him the money, outfitted him with ships to start the struggle. And the Haitians demanded only one thing of Bolivar. When you free Venezuela, when you free Columbia, when you free Argentina, when you free Peru; free the slaves. The only condition of which they required of Simon Bolivar. This is history, you cant hide the truth. If you know your history you look for your history you will find it. You can imagine the threat that history imposed, that Haiti imposed upon America since 1803. There was nothing that American imperialism, one other thing I must tell you, from this period 1803, Haiti fought every major European power - the American’s, the French, the Spanish, the Germans, the Portuguese; all of them - tried to bring Haiti down and not one of them could make Haiti renege on a/their democratic principles. On that country there would never be, on that territory a slave. Every man, every woman was free. You just make it to Haiti and you’re free, no slavery. Everywhere else there was slavery - everywhere else. In the great America they were, lets not talk about that. So anyway you could imagine the threat that Haiti posed. American imperialism all of its life had only one objective: to bring those slaves back onto the plantation. There was only one objective: bring those slaves back to the plantation. America, France, all of them could not bring Haiti back to the plantation. Even after slavery was, uh, made illegal throughout the western hemisphere, and was even abandoned and emancipation proclamations are read everywhere: Haiti continued to be the guiding inspiration for Africans throughout the western hemisphere. It was not until 1915 that American imperialism could put the heels of the marines on Haiti. Install papa doc, a scum of our race, one who would bow down to the wishes of imperialism and rape his people without the slightest mercy. And since then thats where Haiti has been, and thats where it is to this day. And its certainly not Bill Clinton who is going to liberate it, just the masses of Africans.”

Mr. Ture is not talking to the likes of you anyhow. This is not in your interest, so your opinion is meaningless. You couldn't comprehend it anyway. Your statements on this page prove that.

Does Anyone know where he had gotten his shirt?

[@Tekno2012]

@baroh2413 Prove it. Do you this background of this man?

[@Thewondersofgreatnes]

Actually no it is in history just read it

[@enockdenard6380]

Had you read that before you've got it on KZbin through this man's voice? If yes, in which history book did you get it?

[@baroh2413]

@Tekno2012 I mean the negative energy that is prevalent among many people, who feel that they have been overlooked or cheated, today. There is nothing positive in identity politics or subvertede racism. I am talking about the man and the way he tries to seduce us, not the subject he is rambling about

[@junqalope]

Aren't they still eating mud in Haiti?

[@baroh2413]

blah blah blah. He is making it up

[@snoopy0577]

No he's not.....I'm a history buff and he's dead accurate....you can't handle the truth because you've been brainwashed your entire life like most of us

[@geminiqueen3754]

baroh2413 Venezuela is not too far from Haïti, and has a very good relationship with Haïti. When he was alive Hugo Chavez was providing fuel to Haïti, and during the earthquake of 2010, he physically went to Haïti to help. There's also a statue of Simon Bolivar in Haïti.

[@geminiqueen3754]

baroh2413 After numerous European nations tried to conquer Haïti, and bring slavery back, Henri Christophe, one of Haïti's leaders built a fort called Citadel high in the mountains overlooking the ocean. If Europe ever tried to attack again, they could shoot cannons at the oncoming ships. Citadel is still there, and it's a tourist attraction.
