Episode 7 - Why Haiti Deserves Reparations: France’s shameful RANSOM!

from The Miss Information Podcast · host The Reluctant Accountant

In this episode of The Miss Information Podcast, host Zee, aka The Reluctant Accountant, makes a compelling case for reparations for Haiti. She explores the often-overlooked crimes and accomplishments of past leaders, questioning why history doesn't always tell the full story. Zee argues that the “passage of time” excuse doesn’t apply to Haiti, especially since the country only finished paying its so-called "debt" to France—a ransom for its independence—in 1947.Though shorter than usual, this episode dives deep into why Haiti, the world’s first Black republic, deserves better in terms of economic justice, which is of particular relevance given some of the absurd and offensive accusations circulating during the U.S. presidential elections, such as claims that Haitians are eating domestic animals.This eye-opening episode highlights the ongoing injustice Haiti faces, looking at where the historical debt comes from and Haiti-France relations.
