In fact my overlooking it, despite the fact that I know damn well that it's a hugely important factor in this, is probably due in large measure to the fact that I'm white. Thanks for the links. Since the earthquake I've seen several different very useful summaries of Haitian history; the <i>Exile</i> articles add some great detail I hadn't seen yet; and I had somehow missed the Chris Floyd article, and Chris Floyd is always welcome.<br /><br />Thanks for the kind comments about me and this dinky little blog, too--I'm trying to contribute, but I feel like a child compared to people like ladypoverty and IOZ, in more ways than one. Nice to know that people appreciate what you do.Ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498712279382078624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981856246989013843.post-37203721242213389842010-01-18T15:57:44.355-05:002010-01-18T15:57:44.355-05:00My only addition to your first paragraph (see my c...My only addition to your first paragraph (see my commentary to the below post over at ladypoverty) would be that 99 out of 100 times it is their own damn fault AND an unthinking racism.<br /><br />Nevertheless, the history of Haiti is a history of racism.
