One often overlooked fact is Haiti committed a real genocide against whites, almost entirely wiping them off the island (thousands were murdered).

Whites in the Americas and elsewhere were shocked and scared by the news. Many US and European sailors refused to port in Haiti due to this, which only hampered Haiti's economic growth.

Stop pushing fucking bullshit. US and European refused to port in Haiti because it was bad optics, as Haiti was a country that successfully freed itself from slavery while European and American countries still employed those tactics. US had no problem dealing with countries slaughtering natives, black people, etc. but somehow you're trying to paint this bullshit genocide narrative. Spoken like a person who truly has no fucking clue what they're talking about.
