Poptropica How Do You Sell Items

questions the people of Haiti addressed to any people "developed" [1]. Mateu Morral

The Haitian people challenges us. These questions are not always easy to answer:

Do you think I need that United Nations troops and the USA invade me and "organize" as I solve my problems? Do you think I am an uncivilized, inferior, incapable of organizing the survival of my own children?

Do not you gave a lesson in civilization to the "civilized" countries long before they abolish slavery (1793)? Was not an army of barefoot slaves who defeated Napoleon's proud eagle (1803) who came to reinstate?

Why the "land of liberty" did not recognize me, or traded with me until 1865? Is it feared that my freedom was a "bad example" for their slaves? Did you know that the USA took 72 years more than we end slavery? Have you forgotten that even took a century to a black man could sit on the seat of the bus or attend the same school as a target? Who are the "civilized"? Who are the "primitive"?

Was not it a shame that France, the former colony, which our ancestors kidnapped from her home in Africa, which ran out and killed in long hours of work in sugar plantations, cocoa, coffee or indigo, we impose, at gunpoint, an indemnity of 150 million francs (equivalent to € 800,000,000)? Is not it a shame that our President Aristide demanded that we return that money stolen at gunpoint, France refused saying it would be "unbearable history?

Do you know that in 1915 the USA landed our national bank and moved their funds to New York? Were $ 500,000 at the time. Have never returned Do not you know that between then and 1934 they invaded our country, stole its wealth, imposing a puppet president that could not get in hotels and restaurants of the invaders because of their color? Did you know that during this invasion was a real genocide of peasants in 1919 coming to crucify one of their leaders, Charlemagne Peralte, the door of a church?

Do you know that the USA and France imposed upon us, between 1957 and 1986, the Duvalier dictatorship? Do not you know that the only reason that dictatorship was to contain the "bad example" of the Cuban revolution? You know what this dictatorship performed 30,000 murders, as well as torture and imprisonment for many others? Do you know that my country into debt so unbearable, to 1800 million dollars? You know I'm still paying that debt? And what the dictator Duvalier is comfortably in exile in France and living with a fortune estimated between 800 and 1400 million $ in a Swiss bank? Why the dictator has not been tried in any international tribunal for genocide against their people? Why Swiss banks not return the money that the dictator robbed me?

When I freed from dictatorship, I chose twice to Bertrand Aristide as president (1990 and 2001) Do you know that the USA twice ousted him from power by two separate coups (1991 and 2004)? Do not you think, now, that the presence of U.S. troops in my territory is a colonial invasion? Have not you thought that some

NGOs are not anything other than civilian accomplices of the military invasion? Make no mistake, I said some

. As I know well the suffering people distinguish between the NGOs that are on my side and support my independent efforts of others. And you, who want help, have you informed enough when you've given your financial aid bound for Haiti?

At this point, do you still think my sickness is resolved with some "help"? Do not you think it is a matter of justice? Do not you think that if France back the money we stole us, that if you are imprisoned for their crimes Duvalier and was expropriated so he also us stole, do not believe that if you cancel the foreign debt immoral, illegal and priceless, I could not leave as autonomous people of my problems? I still continue to believe that I am unable to handle my own problems without foreign intervention? My poverty, poverty of other countries like mine, is the source of your being? Who owes whom?

Finally, do not you think it's time to move from the help that only adds another link in the chain, equal solidarity between peoples against imperialism and colonialism?

is not always easy to respond honestly to questions of this type. But we have the political and moral duty to respond to the Haitian people and ourselves with the truth.
