wow, where have I heard this statement before? hmm
There's a huge difference between the 18th century and the 21st. You could get away with genocide back then, you can't now.
I know I shouldn't be shocked by anything anymore, but it's really shocking hearing conservative Christians continuously defend these things (or deny them), and scold colonized people for resisting their own extermination. But if anything it's a lesson that history really never changes.
Give me a break. They slaughtered anyone with a drop of white blood. The Belgians were absolutely deserving of getting killed by the Congolese but that doesn't mean the Stanleyville Massacre and murder of women and children was warranted.
Again, if the French had wanted to destroy the Haitians so that these gone within a generation; there would be no Haiti today. The French had the power to do so, and the Haitians could not have stopped them.
This is absolutely not true. Polish legionaries and German settlers sided with the Haitians as did a large number of mixed race people. The brutality was against the French.
Yes, you're right. The ones that helped them kill the other Europeans they allowed to live. However you'll notice this quote doesn't say Frenchmen:
""For our declaration of independence, we should have the skin of a white man for parchment, his skull for an inkwell, his blood for ink, and a bayonet for a pen!"
Oh wow, a quote. Cool. Now let's look at what actually happened.
