The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Damion S., after he tagged me in a photo he shared…

Emily C.: What can I do to help Damion?
Damion S.: I would pray first. But look for an American Red cross. Or maybe Samaritan’s purse. I’m going to donate blood this week. Maybe tomorrow.

(Andrew Meyer) In this video Luke Rudkowski confronts Wyclef Jean on supporting Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race. Wyclef is asked about the outright crimes the Clinton family committed in his home country and he ignored it and gave us a analogy from a comedian.
Raymond Joseph, Haitian ambassador to the U.S., puts pseudo-Reverend Pat Robertson to shame for his despicable comments about the nation of Haiti, giving him a PROPER lesson in TRUTH and HISTORY!
Kenny C.: this is true!! and haiti had to pay france for the land and them as property…they had to pay for their freedom. 21 million francs or something, which is equivilant to billions. back then.
Kenny C.: and when france lost haiti and all their slaves (their main money source, for coffee and tons of other agriculture)
they decided to just give up on this area, because they didnt see use for the territory…
15 million back then is TRILLIONS now…(not confirmed but its ALOT more then then now!!)
Kenny C.: then they continued doing agriculture in Haiti, but then america started fuckin with them, started invading, then bringing our pigs over there which haitians couldnt afford antibiotics, their native pigs didnt need them…
Also, we started using machinery to mass produce crops, which flooded the market, and brought demand for the higher priced good from haiti, then they couldnt continue keep their farm so they stay poor.
Kenny C.: and the slaves outnumbered the settlers 10 to 1…
Rayn: It is well worth repeating that our government sent “$750,000 in military aid as well as some troops to help quell” Haiti’s slave revolt of 1791, siding with the French:
As you can see, the slaves of Haiti had a BETTER IDEA of FREEDOM and LIBERTY THEN OUR “FOUNDING FATHERS”! And, ironically, it was TALK of the French Revolution among the white slave owners that inspired their slaves to embrace freedom and rebel against tyranny! Now, THAT is the beauty and penetrating power of truth! TRUTH can only be limited by pure censorship! Because, once THE LIGHT OF TRUTH IS REVEALED, there ARE NO LIMITS to THE DEPTHS IT WILL REACH and RESONATE in the HEARTS AND MINDS of HUMANITY!
Keith M.: say word.
Rayn: WORD!
Sara: My sentiments exactly, I like that Rayn is able to articulate into words and express the way I feel, I would never be able to. I appreciate your research and thorough response!
Rayn: Thanx! I appreciate the compliments, as well as the readership! Both will inspire me to continue to write!
