Haiti, Africa and the global dynamics of race - A conversation with Jemima Pierre
Why would Kenya and some Caribbean countries agree to send police to Haiti as part of an imperial occupation project? Jemima Pierre explains how the global dynamics of race distort our understanding of ourselves and each other as black people worldwide. The conversation discusses in detail the fact that racism organizes the current world order, and the misconception of many Africans that racism only applies to South Africa and the United States.

In December 1801, Napoléon Bonaparte sent a massive French military invasion to the French colony of Saint-Domingue (modern day: Ayiti).
The invasion was under the command of Napoléon Bonaparte’s brother-in-law, Charles Victor Emmanuel Leclerc, in an attempt to regain and restore French colonial rule of the Caribbean colony of Saint-Domingue on the island of Hispaniola, and to curtail the measures of independence and abolition of Afrikan slaves, led by the former enslaved Afrikan, Toussaint Louverture.
The Saint-Domingue invasion expedition departed from France in December 1801 and ended in a French defeat at the Battle of Vertières, and with the departure of French troops in December 1803. The defeat of Napoléon Bonaparte’s powerful military army in Saint-Domingue by enslaved Afrikans, forever ended Napoleon's dreams of a French empire in the West. As a result, Napoléon Bonaparte sold the French colonial territories of Louisiana, to the United States in what is known as the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the size of the United States overnight.
I’m soo tired of Africans saying “I didn’t know I was black until I came to the west.” If you didn’t know you was black then why is it that a white person that comes to Africa will get a better treatment than an indigenous black African. Why is the white savior complex so rampant throughout Africa,
Why is skin bleaching so rampant among our women ( and some men) to look more lighter, towards more whiteness. Why is wearing wigs and weaves to look more European seems more attractive and acceptable among our women.
