Youtube Marketing‏ . . .

YouTube marketing can be a complicated subject but if you put in the effort, it can help you with your business. YouTube has been around since February 15, 2005 and was started by three entrepreneurs by the names of Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim where they were former PayPal employees. Entrepreneurs are possible to be made given the fact that with some ideas and giving it their all, will be able to succeed.

With this in mind, YouTube is a great site to show your entrepreneurial side to others because that is what marketing is about. If you advertise it to lots of people, you have the chance to have others see what you can do. Some people use YouTube for not just marketing purposes but to also show what they do for hobby kind of purposes.

Whatever your business may be, it is a great tool to include in with your other marketing efforts and not all business people uses it which is unfortunate. There are other ways to spread the word about your YouTube videos by your business cards which should be included on your website if possible. Your website is one of your marketing tools and with the YouTube video on there, can increase the chances of you getting some customers and help others with what they need.
As YouTube keeps getting popular with business owners, YouTube marketing should be included in article marketing and promote it through there too. Article marketing is a way to state what you know and giving people some ideas on what you also offer and how you did some things. You can offer some suggestions such as how to market your services to people on the Internet or even about what is involve in your occupation or career such as in personal fitness trainer and bookkeeper as a few examples.

Some people that want to own their own business needs some guidance and with your YouTube video, you can make even more money with the YouTube marketing method. You should also stick it on your own blog if you have one but either one is fine as long as people are able to view them.

All different kinds of method to promote your YouTube videos, can include that into your pay per click marketing campaign but they can be expensive if you didn't do some research ahead of times. Keywords are what matters the most and can help someone to get traffic and more customers and visitors.

Whatever methods you use, use them if you can and watch your business grow even more.

Haiti, 2 Million Persons Still Homeless 10 Months After Earthquake!‏

Searing images have been burned into our collective memories from the earthquake calamities and catastrophes which befell Haiti on January 12, 2010. Ten months has since passed, the passage of time has not reduced the grief and desperation on ground in Haiti.
Only recently, 5 persons in the many tent camps Haiti were killed by rainstorms, rainstorms which also rendered 210 tents useless. Thankfully and luckily, the hurricane season this year has been less severe and this has meant some sorts of respite for the already beleaguered nation and people of Haiti.
The television cameras are long gone and public sympathy has elapsed. Complacency have seemingly set in. The plights and predicaments of our people worldwide is exemplified by the current precarious limbo in which, and to which Haitians have been seemingly consigned. The human condition of our people remain, are best described by recent public statements by former American Secretary of State Colin Powell, a retired US Army General, when he stated that So many rocks in our sack, and so, we have trouble carrying it
Haiti, in the earthquake aftermath, is a toxic mix of poverty, adversities, calamities, catastrophes, tragedies which is multiplied by a factor 2 million people. Two million people who are currently homeless and remain in direst of straits. These two million Haitians are part of the approximately 2 billion continental Africans and peoples of African descent on earth, whose plights and predicaments are not much different. Man made disasters and Acts of God tragedies conspire and combine to make our lives toughest than any other groups people in the world. Our people remain beset by too many challenges piled on, exacerbated by newer ones.
Where are the loud and ostentatious pledges and promises of relief and reconstructions or where is divine interventions from the heavens? How does anyone reassure 2 million Haitians who are homeless for almost a whole year now? This, even after the world made a great show on television, insisting to frazzled Haitians that help was on the way? Great expectations are now forlorn? What is it about geopolitics and or human psyche in which Foreign Aid is not steered to where the need is greatest? Where is Bill Clinton?
Haiti, though a poor nation, she does have a population of the most courageous people on the face of the earth! Haitians have faced and confronted sundry adversities and have always tethered through, weathering the storms, almost with equanimity. It is important to make this point and mention the tenacity of the people of Haiti, even in the midst of the most severe earthquake in human memory. Haitians, despite the extraordinary toll in terms of human lives lost, are managing to carry on, as close to a semblance of normalcy as possible.
It is sadly the case that tents wearing thin from wear and tear , rain, sun and other natural from the elements. Haitian people have become understandably weary. This was illustrated recently by The New York Times feature article, in which so many Haitians were crying out for help in letters to the entire world which described the very pathetic and abject human conditions which persist in Haiti, over ten months since the earthquake in January.
Planners had hoped by now that 130,000 tent dwellers would have been resettled, but so far, after almost a whole year since the earthquake, only 10% resettlement have been achieved .The fragile and flimsy temporary accommodations are disintegrating. Tarpaulin tents are fraying under the elements, formerly white tents now grey, and torn, exposing two million inhabitants to more sufferings and hardships
There is still no water, no electricity available to all regularly and on steady, or reliable basis, there are continuing concerns for disease outbreaks of epidemic proportions, such as cholera and other diseases which are exacerbated by unsanitary conditions. The congested tents camps environment in which Haitians displaced by the earthquake now live, is said to be suffused and reek with raw sewage and rain water flowing in the camp being a common sight
It is really sad that 2 million Haitian are still homeless more than 10 months after earthquake which killed 230,ooo people. It is so disconcerting that our microwave culture with short attention span, have forgotten or at least, have allowed the plights and predicaments of Haitians, victims of the worst earthquake, are abandoned and their abject conditions have receded to the back burner and recesses of our consciousness. We spend two trillion dollars tangling with real and imagined enemies in Afghanistan and Iraq, and yet, we do not have the will and courage to provide basic human needs to the two million persons still homeless in the aftermath of the disastrous earthquake in Haiti?
It will be recalled that in the aftermath of the cataclysmic earthquake in January, there were almost a sense of eagerness by and between nations to openly compete and be seen as the largest donor and the best helper of the hapless people and nation of Haiti, but, almost a year has passed and only three nations, namely, Sweden, Norway and Brazil, have followed through and keep their promised and delivered on the monies pledged to Haiti relief and reconstruction efforts.
Almost a year after the earthquake almost unhinged Haiti and thrust upon her, extreme and extraordinarily dire circumstances, transitional shelters remains how two million Haitians live and, these transitional housing are even grossly inadequate, unavailable, while the existing ones are deteriorating and are now in tattered conditions.
The reconstructions which were much heralded, has not come to be or come to pass. Land ownership uncertainties remains a major problem, an obstacle and impediment to redevelopment. AID organizations have publicly stated that they wont put structures on land without knowing or ascertaining title holders
The presence of debris and rubbles from the earthquake is still pervasive and predominant in the landscape of earthquake ravaged areas of Haiti.
More than ten months after of the January 12, 2010 earthquake and 2 million Haitians still live on the streets in full public view, subject to the elements, heat, the rains, mudslides and hurricanes.
2 million Haitians are still subject to disease outbreaks such as cholera, dysentery and diseases from poor living conditions, poor sanitation and impure drinking source.
During the blitzkrieg in the aftermath of the earthquake in January, more than sixty nations promised money and material aid in excess of five billion dollars, but, six more later, only Brazil, Norway and Sweden has fulfilled and redeemed their pledges; but why is this the case? But where are the nations who made loud promises and thereby deceived all of us, while giving Haitians false hope, and now, disappointment?
It will be recalled that in the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake on January 12 in Haiti, there were what appeared at the time, as quite extraordinary volumes of pledges and promises of financial and material support for the beleaguered people and nation of Haiti. There was what most thought and saw as an unprecedented outpouring of support. Where is everybody? Where is the press and media coverage? There were 24 hours and seven days a week coverage by journalists everywhere, soon after January 12.
That was then! But ten months after the cataclysmic earthquake and the deaths of more than 230,000 persons in Haiti, and the simultaneous displacements of millions of others in Haiti, the loud promises and pledges have not been fulfilled. It is certainly the case that more than 65 nations pledge what at the time appeared to a record amount of money, but, it is sadly now the case that only a microcosm among those nations have kept their promises and on camera pledges. As at this writing, only Brazil, Sweden and Norway have fulfilled their national pledges to the people and nation of Haiti.
The romance has worn off, the television cameras have moved away from Haiti and pledges are unfulfilled. My favorite journalists at CNN, the socially responsible Anderson Cooper and Sanjay Gupta aired a prescient, profound and yet heart wrenching on the ground report from Haiti, reports which clearly indicates that the situation in Haiti has deteriorated since the departure of the klieg lights which were beamed on Haiti 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake disaster on January 12, 2010. Journalists across the world need to be asking questions again.
There is a need to keep the focus on Haiti, just so we all ensure that promises and pledges which were made, supposedly in good faith, are redeemed and there is accountability and transparency on the part of donors and recipients alike. It is too often the case, that donors make loud announcements without following through, and too often, the local populations are misled into believing that the billions of dollars promised were in actuality delivered, except that such gargantuan monies were mismanaged, misused or looted by local authorities through corruption
It will be quite nice to hold donors to account, audit them, just as we would demand auditing the recipient to ensure that reasonable expectations on the part of recipient nation and prospective beneficiaries are not misled. It is the case that social disenchantment and upheaval often arises from this sorts of expectation versus. It is such a shame that there remain this huge gap between very public ostentatious promises-pledges, and actual fulfillments of these genuine expectations.
We should spare thoughts for Haiti and Haitians. There are unfinished business and there are certainly many matters which have arisen and still arising. We concede there is a global economic downturn, but, that makes lives of Haitians even much worse.
We should spare thoughts for and about Haiti and Haitians, our people, in this great time of relief and reconstruction... the work in rebuilding Haiti, has only just begun in the most meager terms, we should keep the focus and attention on the progress on ground in Haiti. Haiti is the First Black Nation on earth. Haiti started the ball rolling toward political freedom and emancipation for continental Africans and all peoples of African descent...
Haiti and Haitians are still being punished for that singular audacity and temerity? Or what else explains this neglect of the human needs which remain unmet in Haiti? Haitians are a generous and a resilient people... they will not be broken... We should do EVERYTHING through engagement, and participation in the relief, reconstruction and rebuilding of Haiti.. Haiti and Haitians need our support for physical and metaphorical complete recovery. We should all do our part. Keeping Haiti and Haitians in our minds is a part of that.
Saudi Arabia just ordered weapons of war. The Saudi Kingdom is billions of dollars on arms and the government of the United States is facilitating these arms purchases which will lead to obvious arms race. And today, two million Haitians can use 1 percent of these monies for relief, reconstruction and rebuilding and even retrofit Haiti, but instead, they are thinking of food and shelter, basic survival needs which are still absent almost a year later. And the band plays on, monies by squandered worldwide.
We should all do our parts. Keeping Haiti and Haitians in our minds is a part of that. Haitians are not thinking. Haitian victims of abject conditions are left to wallow in squalor, even as they still need the mere basics of human existence; Haitians are thinking of food and shelter, the basic human survival needs, and necessity The rain season is on, full steam and our people in Haiti are still under flimsy shelters. Ten whole months after the earthquake devastation and what at the time appeared to be an outpouring of supports and donations!
It now obvious why we must keep our attention on what is happening and the eventual outcomes. Would many of the promises and pledges made on camera by the world be kept?
Please help Haitians and Haiti, would you, please?

Are You Sick of Hearing About Haiti?‏

To start off, I am going to apologize if this at all comes off as sounding heartless. Since the earthquake in Port Au Prince, Haiti happened, there has been extensive media and news coverage surrounding the event. In fact, news channels and media outlets are streaming updates on the earthquake event twenty-four seven. Newspapers are submitting articles left and right, as well as constant input from internet venues and personal blogs. When is enough, well, enough? I cannot turn on my television or play a game on the web without having a constant and, in my opinion, quite irritating reminder of the Haiti earthquake right there, in my face. Every app I play on Facebook has some sort of "Help Haiti" icon right there, in the middle of the app. Every webite I visit through my mobile phone reminds me that I can text "Haiti" to 90999 to donate ten dollars instantly.
If you ask me, the earthquake was probably better for Haiti than not. A large percentage of Haitains were living in extreme poverty conditions. For decades the United States Border Patrol has been on guard against Haitians trying to enter the country illegally. As of now, America is the country that has homeless without shelter, children who go to bed without a meal, elderly that are going without necessary medication, and mentally ill going without proper treatment, but can stream a benefit for Haiti on twelve separate television stations. Where is the sense in that? Does the media in America ignore what is happeneing right on their own doorstep? I haven't seen a benefit for the homeless in America run on one television station, nonetheless twelve television stations, EVER. The only telethons Americans will catch on their televisions, provided they are fortunate enough to have televisions, will be for local events and small charities, and no, they will not have celebrity support and exposure. United States President Barack Obama and his war against Fox News has seen more media coverage than any of the aforementioned problems in the United States, and if you ask me it was never really important enough to broadcast to the nation. It really prompts me to ask, "What the heck, America?".
According to an article written by CNN News Staff, the interest in the Haiti earthquake has lessened substantially in the past week alone. Donations have slowed to more than fifty percent less than what had been received in the hours, or even days, following the event. CNN assumes it is because of the poor economic state of America. Americans are not feeling as wealthy or generous as they have in the past, when America was not experiencing a financial slump. FINANCIAL SLUMP? This is not even a recession! This is the closest America has been to the Great Depression since the Great Depression!! CNN had, however, an idea, and a solid one at that. Americans are not feeling as wealthy as they once did. They also brought up one other valid point in the article, and that was that Americans are growing tired of hearing about the earthquake. Well, imagine that. The earthquake was one news story to follow for a week or so and everyone has just plain and simply, lost interest. I cann ot say as I am one bit surprised. The one question I have that remains is, will the media slow down on the earthquake news as the interest of Americans slows, or will they attempt to out do themselves and increase news coverage in hopes that Americans will begin to care once more?
Let's travel back to my original idea that the earthquake was better for Haiti than not. I am sure a lot of people disagree with that notion. However, remember that poverty issue that I mentioned? The overall instance of poverty in the country of Haiti exceeded the amount of seventy seven percent previous to the earthquake. An estimated eighty percent of Haitians lived in absolute poverty. Haiti, pre-earthquake, was one of the poorest nations in the western hemisphere with an estimated per-capita annual income of five hundred and sixty dollars. Donations for Haiti had reached an estimated thirty eight million dollars from the D.E.C. by January 21, 2010, less than a week after their broadcast for donation acceptance. As of January 15, 2010, three days after the earthquake, the Red Cross received over eight million dollars via ten dollar text donations. Just in two venus alone, donations exceeded forty six million dollars in less than one week. That is forty six million doll ars that Haiti did not have on January 11, 2010, just one day before the 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck. International donations to Haiti exceeded 1.12 billion dollars as of Monday, January 25, 2010. The outstanding public debt in the United States as of January 27, 2010 at 01:43 GMT stands at $12,308,214,833,046.00 - yes that is twelve billion, three hundred and eight million, two hundred and fourteen thousand, eight hundred and thirty three, and forty six dollars. Yet, Americans are being urged, despite the fact that America will be impoverished if this debt is not significantly reduced or paid off completely, to help Haiti reach their donation goal that exceeds the amount of the United States public debt in its entirety.
Sadly, the media has epitomized the financial aspect of Haiti. I was able to find all of the information listed above in one short internet search. I could not find any numerological information on the non-financial needs of Haiti, for example, clothing, water, food, etc. I did find a site that said it would be better to send money related donations rather than tangible necessities. So, when America itself becomes an impoverished nation, will any of these other nations hold celebrity endorsed telethons? Will donations be streaming into the United States faster than the Red Cross can count them? No, I did not think so.
One more thought before I leave you all to absorb the meaning of my article here; have you ever seen Michelle Obama in a commerical before asking for monetary assistance to come to the country in which and her husband are responsible to take care of? No, but her commerical for Haiti donations runs on my television at least fifty times a day.

What was Going on in Haiti Prior to the Earthquake?‏A

Between 45,000-50,000 may have died in the impoverished country of Haiti according to the American Red Cross as a result of the earthquake that shook Port-Au-Prince and surrounding areas on January 12, 2010. A hospital collapses, the President's palace is left in ruins, and many homes in shambles. Haitians bloodied from the devastation have walked away with tears in their eyes while others lay on the ground struggling to live or dead. This is what we see on the surface, but what is really going on behind the scenes of this catastrophe? What events were ongoing in Haiti prior to the earthquake?
Rumors of Manmade Earthquakes and Depopulation
We question why would Haiti suffer? What is the lesson to be learned in all this sorrow? Biblical scholars talk of Matthew 24 in the New International Version(NIV) Bible where Jesus says, "There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all the nations because of me." Prophecies were made on websites like YouTube prior to this major earthquake reminding people of Matthew 24. Yet, was this in fact a natural earthquake created by a Supreme Being or a disaster intelligently designed by man?
Conspiracy theorists have argued that an elite group called the Illuminati has something to do with creating earthquakes. For years, theorists and ex-illuminati members have used YouTube videos, blogs, forums, and websites to inform the public about plans for depopulation using disease and man-made created disasters all around the world. In the past we have seen evidence of this from man-made created cancers and diseases to storms. Theorists say the elitists are attempting to carry out their final plans of creating a one world government.
This idea of a man-made earthquake isn't far-fetched since we already knew of a recent earthquake that occurred in China last year called the Sichuan Earthquake. Media reports questioned whether that was man-made back then. "Several scientists in China and the U.S. claimed that the Sichuan Earthquake, which had a magnitude of 7.9 and killed at least 70,000 people, could have been caused by a 511ft-high dam just 550 yards from the fault line. The Zipingpu dam, which is located about three miles from the epicenter of the quake, holds 315 million tons of water," according to a posting made by Elaine Chow on the Shanghaiist.com. "Some geologists believed that the weight of the water, and its ability to penetrate rock, could have changed the pressure on the fault line."
New Construction
Since media reports like CNN, Washington Post and others,reported that Haiti was rebuilding itself after past tropical storms, could the construction work that was being done around the land disrupt the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone? As of this writing, no one has answered yes or no to this question since it is far too early to tell. The only thing we do know is that "scientists have warned for years that the island of Hispaniola, which Haiti shares with the Dominican Republic, was at risk for a major earthquake," according to CNN.com.
"Five scientists presented a paper during the 18th Caribbean Geological Conference in March 2008 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, stating that a fault zone on the south side of the island posed "a major seismic hazard." Paul Mann, a senior research scientist at the University of Texas' Institute for Geophysics said, "We were concerned about it." He added, "...strikes like these can remain quiescent -- dormant -- for hundreds of years. So it's hard to predict when they'll occur."
Back in 1988, the Haitians were protesting a planned dam project that would flood their homes in the Artibonite River Valley - an area known as Haiti's breadbasket, according to Patricia Adams, the author of In the Name of Progress: The Underside of Foreign Aid (Doubleday Canada/Energy Probe, 1985) and Executive Director of Probe International. "Backed by foreign aid agencies the dams would destroy almost ten thousand acres of prime agricultural land, a scarce commodity in food-short Haiti. As a result the project sparked a widely-based 'alliance of resistance'. Groups opposed so the project included local farmers, church activists and rural development workers, as well as human rights organizations and environmentalists outside Haiti."
If there was a dam being built near or along the fault line, would it have caused an earthquake, uproar from local Haitians and pressure from scientists, government officials and others to stop work in the area?
The state department issued a warning to travelers back in July 2009, stating the following, "Most transport infrastructure damaged by the 2008 storms has been repaired, although in many cases repairs are temporary pending the construction of more permanent structures. Haiti has few secondary roads that are in good condition. Drivers traveling on Haiti's roads must be aware that there will be frequent deviations, stoppages and obstructions due to ongoing road construction and repairs."
Various websites such as BahamaJournalreported of local contractors working on the buildings. In the Bahama Journal back in 2007, Business People Invested in Haiti, by Macushla N. Pender, Principal of Top Builders International, Odley Aretis, said "This has been a real life-changing experience for me....When I saw what was happening in the construction industry in Haiti, it was really appalling. To the local contractors, we can really take advantage of the construction opportunities in Haiti," Aretis said. "Why do I say that? Port-au-Prince was designed for 150,000 people but there are presently over three million people living there. There is a building code that is never used. We can take advantage of this and show them how to build properly and make (a lot) of money."
In an article Chartered Surveyors assist Haiti Construction Industry posted on July 26, 2009 on the Caymen News website, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), (an independent group which regulates property professionals and surveyors in the United Kingdom and other sovereign nations, Wikipedia) with assistance from Plan International, had organized a mission to Haiti from July 21-24 to improve the country's building standards and create building codes for the construction industry. The article doesn't mention Haiti asking the American government to help in ensuring that Haiti's buildings were up to par. Sanjay Amin, a Director for Caribbean property and development company, BCQS International and Fellow of the RICS, was requested by the RICS Major Disaster Management Commission to provide voluntary assistance to the project. Notice the company was asked to do a service without payment.
Construction Jobs
These days America is not hiding the fact that many citizens are losing their jobs. In a recent article written by Justin Lahart, provided by the Wall Street Journal on the Yahoo Finance site, entitled, "Even in a Recovery Some Jobs Won't Return," Lahart says, "With 1.6 million jobs lost over the last two years, (here in America) the construction sector has accounted for more than a fifth of the jobs lost since the recession began." How many jobs do you think will be gained around the world since this recent Haiti disaster?
A commenter on Twitter, who calls herself Hope3217, wrote less than 24 hours after the Haiti earthquake, "The way I see it, some Engineering and construction jobs will open up in Haiti very soon... got a passport? Let's gooooooo!!!!!"
If this earthquake was in fact a man-made occurrence then someone already thought of jobs and most likely a list of American construction companies have already been selected to join forces with Haitian local businesses to repair the country. President Barack Obama during his campaign spoke often about job creation and at times mentioned various construction projects that were needed. Most Americans assumed the jobs he spoke about would be on American soil.
Unfortunately, no matter how devastating a tragedy there will always be those who will say, "What's in it for me?" America and its European friends is no exception. There is no precious gold, or diamonds in Haiti, like other countries that attract foreigners from all over the world; rather the country's resources come from agriculture and farming such as: Coffee, Sugar Cane, Cacao, Tobacco, sisal, rice, corn, sorghum, cassava, vegetables, tropical and sub-tropical fruits, orange-peel and bitter oranges, mangos, cattle, pork , and essential oils.
Latin Alliances
So what can a country that is often described as being "the poorest in the Western Hemisphere" do for any group or individual? Well neighboring Latin countries saw Haiti's glass half full. When Haiti's President Ren Garcia Preval took office back in 2008 (due to a democratic election orchestrated by none other than the United States,) he met with neighboring Latin countries. Wikipedia reports, the former Prime Minister had a friendship with "Venezuelan president Hugo Chvez which resulted in various economic agreements that included 4 power plants (a 40 megawatt, a 30 megawatt, and two 15 megawatts). An oil refinery was also scheduled to be installed in the country, with a production capacity of 10,000 barrels of oil per day." Why the allegiance to Haiti from Venezuela? Because Haiti has a history of helping a former South American political leader, Simn Bolvar, hundreds of years ago. During his reign back in July 24, 1783 - December 17, 1830, Haiti provided military power to aid Bolivar's cause in liberating much of South America.
Since being in office, Preval had also met with many Latin American leaders such as Fidel Castro, Evo Morales of Bolivia (with an economic situation similar to Haiti's), Martn Torrijos of Panama, and Leonel Fernandez of the Dominican Republic. Preval was also consistently voting in the United Nations General Assemblyagainst the United States for the embargo of Cuba, according to Wikipedia. Could the United States government been displeased with Preval voting against them?
Travel Warnings
Prior to the earthquake news, back in July 2009, the State Department warned U.S. citizens to exercise a high degree of caution when traveling to Haiti. Political tensions remained at the time and the potential for politically-motivated violence was on-going especially kidnapping. Although kidnapping in Haiti had declined at the time (60 Americans had been kidnapped in 2006.) In 2008, 27 Americans were reported kidnapped. In July 2009, one American had been reported kidnapped. Most of the Americans were abducted in Haiti's two largest cities, Port-au-Prince and Cap Haitian. The state department reported that some kidnap victims had been killed, shot, sexually assaulted, or physically abused. The presence of UN stabilization force (MINUSTAH) peacekeeping troops and UN-formed police were ongoing throughout the country prior to the earthquake.
Cost of Food
According to Haiti media reports, on April 12, 2008 the Haiti Prime Minister, Jacques Edouard Alexis, received a vote of no confidence from Parliament and resigned. The resignation was due to public discontent over the government's economic policy, riots and the rising price of food commodities.
Racism
So why hasn't more countries in past years gave more to Haiti? To answer this question, one must go back to Haitian history.
According to EveryCulture.com, "(Haitian) Residents attach tremendous importance to the expulsion of the French in 1804, (Haiti's weapon of choice voodo against white men with guns) an event that made Haiti the first independently black-ruled nation in the world, and only the second country in the Western Hemisphere to achieve independence from imperial Europe." Could Haitians have been fearful of outsiders coming in their country and taking over especially those of white skin? If so, that would explain why some Haitians would rather build their own country back up again even if they have limited resources.
Some critics may differ with this view and say that it's the other way around and that other countries fear Haiti especially America. But why since America has been known to be a God-fearing nation founded on Christian principles? According to an article titled, Dealing Misery and Death from the Back of the Tiger that appeared on the Axis of Logic site back in October 2005 and written by Les Blough, "The only conceivable "strategic interest" the U.S. government could possibly have in Haiti lies in the fear of the captor. The Haitian Revolution was the first and only time that an enslaved people rose up, broke their chains, and established a new state." Blough writes, "Haiti inspired enslaved African Americans in the United States and continues to be perceived as a threat to those who have institutionalized racism in the U.S. Haiti represents the power of people to bring down unjust economies and racist governments...the white establishment may have glossed over their racis m with slick news media and Hollywood movies, but the fear and hatred for African Americans remain among the power elite in the U.S. just as they are exhibited today in Haiti."
Some would disagree with the points raised and say outdated history, superstition, religion, and racism have nothing to do with the lack of help given to Haiti, which brings us back to the question, if racism has nothing to do with the little help Haiti has received from prosperous countries then how would a poor country benefit America if they were to help rebuild it?
Deportation
Apparently Haiti wouldn't benefit America based on events that happened in 2008 and 2009, the American government attempted to deport over 30,000 Haitians back to their ravaged homeland after four tropical storms. However, the deportation was protested by Haitian Americans and many others from around the world including the NAACP.
Currently in the United States government sits Haitian-American Patrick Gaspard. He was appointed by President Obama as the White House Director of the Office of Political Affairs. Also, the Head of State in Canada is a Haiti native and former refugee, Michaelle Jean.
Racial Prejudice Accusations
Now what if history does prove that America has acted prejudice in the past toward Haiti? YouTuber Sundiatasoulbefree, a young man with an opinion about Haiti's travesty shares some interesting insight about America's inaction over the years. He believes prior to the earthquake America didn't care about Haiti until the camera was turned on the poor country, now they care so he says.
"The United States only cares about themselves." He said, "If you really care about someone like you say you do you would take preemptive action extend your hand to them before major catastrophes happen. The United States has a long legacy of doing something after the fact. We act like we care when there is worldwide media coverage on some place. How long has Haiti been impoverished? How long have they had facilities that were substandard to them for human beings to be living in them? If we would have extended our hand to them a long time ago they wouldn't be in this mess. If we can build their hospital back up then how come we can't give them money to better facilitate themselves..? We always come up with money when there is a Tsunami some place, but why don't we care when there just living their life normally - when they are living their life substandard. We don't care. We are so reactionary. It just lowers all my expectations of human decency. Helping out Haiti doesn't help us...That's not the human thing to do that's not the human mindset..."
Debt Relief
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) website, an international organization that oversees the global financial system, "Haiti was granted US $1.2 billion of debt relief by reaching the completion point under the Enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative approved by the Boards of the International Development Association (IDA) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)."
According to Wikipedia, "At the 2009 G-20 London summit, it was decided that the (IMF) would require additional financial resources to meet prospective needs of its member countries during the ongoing global financial crisis. As part of that decision, the G-20 leaders pledged to increase the IMF's supplemental cash tenfold to $500 billion, and to allocate to member countries another $250 billion via Special Drawing Rights." Haiti is on the list.
The Latin countries have been assisting Haiti for some time now; however one country isn't putting up with undocumented people staying in their country. Back in March 2009, the Dominican Republic reported there were as many as one million people of Haitian ancestry, who despite being born there were "functionally stateless," meaning they weren't registered anywhere, according to the U.S. State Department 2008 Report on Human Rights. The report also cited the use of force by Dominican authorities against the undocumented people.
