Who’s the Devil, Cracker?
So there’s been relative controversy over this fool’s statement that Haiti signed a pact with the devil in order to get their Freedom from those dog-eating maggots over two centuries ago. Normally, i wouldn’t even pay no mind to such ridiculousness. But, unfortunately, as you can see by the woman next to him, too many folks believe this. So here’s my two cents:
Let me begin by saying that, in African cosmology, there is no “devil.” There are forces of evil, just as there are forces of good. But seeing as how damn near the whole world has been overrun by the madness of christianity, let’s run with that.
Chattel slavery took its most brutal form in the French colony of Saint Domingue, where it lasted for damn near a hundred and fifty years, with a labor force numbering up to ¾ million Africans. The working life expectancy of was a mere 7 years, deliberately worked to death, as it was cheaper to buy new laborers. Famine, starvation, and torture were the norm. CLR James points out, “the slaves received the whip with more certainty and regularity than they received their food.”
After the Revolution, the Free and Sovereign Haiti was ostracized from the world. In 1863, they were forced to pay reparations to France in the form of 90 million gold Francs, a “debt” that persists till this day, causing it to be “the poorest nation in the western hemisphere.” This is but one example of the countless attacks on our Nation.
But France is not unique. They are no exception. They are, in fact, the rule itself; part and parcel of a european world order 500 years in the making. White supremacy has been on full display over the past few days, exemplified by Pat Robertson and a media coverage that is eerily reminiscent of Katrina (not coincidentally, Haiti’s direct descendants).
Ok, so help me understand. In christian philosophy, the devil is the epitome of evil, correct? And what could be more evil than the wholesale extermination of entire continents, the enslavement of generations, and the persistent attempt to destroy the Earth through technological domination and weather control? Who better to wear the name “devil”?
How could Haiti, then, make a pact with the devil, when they were merely trying to escape from the devil?
When the rallying cry of the Revolutionary Haitians was “kill all the whites,” they were making no pact with the devil. They were disrupting the devil’s pact with itself by killing the damn devil dead!
For after all, the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he wasn’t the white man!

There are plenty of White countries, along with the vast majority of White people who have no relation to any aforementioned interracial oppression whatsoever. Not to mention the majority of the environmentalist movement is the devil himself; what’s worse, is it is the most DEVILISH variety of devil… JEWS! If you know anything and agree with this blog, you should agree with that.

you are all so hateful and sad. stop blaming anyone who will fit your mold and do something about making it better. there is no “white man” or “black man” theres a ton of ethnicities and colors, religions, some good, some bad within every group. all you are doing is reinforcing what you are trying to combat- HATRED.
