Comic depicting 2 Haitians in suits now carrying a lazy american couple in bed. Reads: In 1910, the USA gave Haiti a loan to “help” cover the expenses of the French debt... ...which placed Haiti under US financial control. Comic depicting black folks in suits carrying a frenchmen in his bed. Reads: In 1825, France charged Haiti "reparations" for war (with interest), equivalent to $27 billion in today's currency. It took 122 years for Haiti to pay this debt back to one of the richest countries in the world. Payment necessary to enable Haiti to participate in international trade.
