“President Francois Hollande announced today, during the official unveiling of the Memorial ACTe in Point-A-Pitre, Guadeloupe, that France will cancel all of Haiti’s debt. hose present, including Prime Minister Freundel Stuart, St Vincent and the Grenadines’ Dr Ralph Gonsalves and Dominica’s Roosevelt Skerrit, immediately gave him a standing ovation, while other members of the delegation broke down into tears upon hearing the announcement.”

Amazing! But Haiti still needs to go after those REPARATIONS!

“The slave trade started with the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church by the name of Martin V and Reverend Bartolome de Las Casas in the island of Hispaniola, now called Haiti and Santo Domingo. See, nobody told you it’s time to get sorry, to feel bad when some Haitians were being slaughtered on the coast of Florida…You didn’t feel anything because you weren’t taught to realize that the Haitians are your brothers and sisters because you don’t know that the first Africans to be brought in slavery were not taken from Africa, but from Spain and carried to Haiti, then called Hispaniola in 1506 under the aegis of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church and Reverend Bartolome de Las Casas. But how did you get in Spain? That was 1506. You went into Spain, which was then called Iberia (Spain, Portugal and southern France), as conquerors yourself in 711 under the leadership of Tarik for whom the Rock of Gibraltar is now named GibralTarik. Nothing in your education because there’s nothing in your textbooks about any of this so you have to go to Spain…” — Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan 

I did a quick Google search to see the Rock of Gibraltar and I found some pretty incredible images. Here’s one below.

Rock of Gibraltar

I found it strange however, that on Wikipedia, it states:

The Rock of Gibraltar is a monolithic limestone promontory located in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, off the southwestern tip of Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. It is 426 m high. The Rock is Crown property of the United Kingdom, and borders Spain.

How is the fuck is this monolithic rock the “Crown property of the United Kingdom”???
