No point in just paying reparations now. France and the US need to take administrative control and fund Haiti's advancement with Haitians in control.

Because that's worked so well since 2004. 
Will they pay it because you know how these white countries are....
As a proud Black American whose family on both sides has been here for centuries like breh OG Motown singer Smokey Robinson. America should take care of home first and foremost we have things here we need to do.

I found out about Children of Uncertain Fortune: Mixed-Race Jamaicans in Britain and the Atlantic Family, 1733-1833 (Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early ... and the University of North Carolina Press) via The C.O.W.S. Radio Podcast.
It's on my reading list. From the sounds of the interview I think his book may cover that time frame.
By tracing the largely forgotten eighteenth-century migration of elite mixed-race individuals from Jamaica to Great Britain, Children of Uncertain Fortune reinterprets the evolution of British racial ideologies as a matter of negotiating family membership. Using wills, legal petitions, family correspondences, and inheritance lawsuits, Daniel Livesay is the first scholar to follow the hundreds of children born to white planters and Caribbean women of color who crossed the ocean for educational opportunities, professional apprenticeships, marriage prospects, or refuge from colonial prejudices.
The presence of these elite children of color in Britain pushed popular opinion in the British Atlantic world toward narrower conceptions of race and kinship. Members of Parliament, colonial assemblymen, merchant kings, and cultural arbiters--the very people who decided Britain's colonial policies, debated abolition, passed marital laws, and arbitrated inheritance disputes--rubbed shoulders with these mixed-race Caribbean migrants in parlors and sitting rooms. Upper-class Britons also resented colonial transplants and coveted their inheritances; family intimacy gave way to racial exclusion. By the early nineteenth century, relatives had become strangers.

I hope this helps! I will share more resources if I come across them.

I definitely think it's OVER due to Haiti.
But, I think they should go after France first - and then the U.S. Establishing reparations from France first -- will only open the doors and case for their second claim to the U.S.
I wish and support any Black person/ethnicity and Black country all the luck, success and determination to stay strong and continue to fight for redress.
