Absolutely. I use it as pride almost to the point of contention. Everyone wanna be black and melanated but don't wanna go to the shrine. People wanna be diet black so I use the numbers to rep the bloodline. I don't wanna be divisive but we need to be more exclusionary but now I'm getting waaaaaaay off topic.
I take upmost pride we (as Afrikans in Haiti, not as Haitians) we fought and killed for our freedom, human rights and Afrikaness.
I was making a different point.It's a bit more complex.
Africans fought,revolted, and killed slavers in every colony established by Europeans in this Western hemisphere.
The specific set of circumstances that lead to the start and ultimate success of the Haitian revolution is complicated, but it's tied to the results of your test.
The sugarcane plantation economy of Saint Domingue was more brutal than any slavery system in the Americas. The business model was to work the newly arrived African to death within a set amount of years, and just bring in another enslaved person to take his place.
At any given time, there was a huge number of people who had been born in Africa on the island. Strengthening and replenishing the different cultural markers that had formed.
When the last revolution started, and effectively eliminated the Euro..the Black population was genetically and culturally almost identical to the West African regions we were from. Difference being that we were an amalgamation of those people.
The country has been relatively isolated in the 200+ years since 1804. No large groups of newcomers, and the relative social distance between the Black majority and the mixed race minority. Voila !
