>a racist, colonial power which as of 2021 still hasn't paid reparations to Haiti

Two semi-serious responses come to mind:

"Wait, which one?" or "Haiti paid huge reparations to France, isn't that good enough?"

"CARICOM, an organization of Caribbean countries that included Haiti, called for a United Nations investigation into Aristide's removal, but were reportedly pressured by the U.S. and France to drop their request"



What Americans (including Hillary Clinton) have done in Haiti is despicable. The American empire deserves to be destabilized a bit too.
