The narrative the media spread here is that Haïti is a shithole because "France abandonned them because they dared to free themselves from slavery".
I constantly have to correct people and explain that the French in Haïti were victims of a full-blown genocide.
Every White person, man, woman, children, were exterminated. The Revolutionary forces went from town to town to ensure the locals carried-out the extermination orders.
After weeks of carnage, the revolutionary forces circulated the lie that the survivors would be granted mercy, so that hidden survivors would come out of hiding. They killed them all.

Yes slavery is wrong. Genocide is worse.
