“White Americans have a criminal history. The nation is built on criminality, murder, and exploitation. It is a part of their collective psyche. The U.S. is a mafia government. No one has done more damage, degradation, murder, rape, and robbery than Europeans. Yes! Therefore, to escape confrontation with their true criminal nature, they must accuse others of being criminals. What we call projection!” Dr. Amos Wilson

Companion reading: “Revolution came to the French slaveholding colony of Saint Domingue in 1791. When the upheaval finally ran its course more than a decade later, in 1804, the landscape had been completely remade. In one fell swoop, the Haitian Revolution banished slavery, colonialism, and white supremacy, the three foundational institutions of the post-Columbian dispensation in the Americas.” From Haiti, I’m Sorry: The Haitian Revolution and the Forging of the Black International (Pg. 72), Michael O. West & William G. Martin, IN From Toussaint to Tupac_Black International since the Age of Revolution
