after toussaint successfully helped organize a violent revolt that resulted in the independence of haiti, he was arrested and murdered, then napoleon sent troops to haiti in an effort to re-institute slavery again. dessalines responded by withdrawing the modicum of mercy his former leader displayed, because showing civility wouldn’t stop the french from attempting to enslave them again. if dessalines didn’t order the execution of the slave-holding class in haiti, including their families, my people would still be slaves right now. the haitian revolution is directly responsible for the abolition of slavery in all of the americas. it sent a shockwave of terror through the veins of every colonizer in the americas and stood as a beacon of hope for every enslaved african at the time (shoutout to nat turner). i’m free to be here typing this on a computer machine in 2023 because a group of brave africans got organized and took off some colonizer’s scalp in 1804 and sent a ripple effect of fear through the west. idk about you, but i’m here because my ancestors retaliated, by any means necessary. the Palestinians’ fighting back is long, long overdue. they don’t need anyone’s approval to free themselves or die trying, much like my ancestors did. your liberal moralizing is lost on me.
