Haiti and Pat Robertson: Slavery is A-OK

There are only a few things to say, but you have to watch the video first.

Now, having seen that, let me translate:
Pat Robertson is saying that the Haitian slaves who revolted against the French colonists all those years back made a deal with the devil to do just that, which means that Robertson is perfectly fine with slavery and colonialism. That’s right. Robertson thinks both of those things are perfectly acceptable conditions by which people can exist, and that the idea of violently opposing a system that violently oppresses people based on skin color is the same as being in collusion with the devil (i.e. Satan).

And, no, it does not matter one bit whether he’s talking about the original slave revolt, or the brutal Haitian defense against France some years later. It’s all the same thing: Pat Robertson is a-ok with slavery and colonialism.

Now I leave the floor to you.
