I'm in Harlem and my Wi-Fi is crazy.
But I'm saying we have 40% of our landmass because of Haiti.
40%.
The Louisiana Purchase came because they beat Napoleon in the war in Haiti, the Revolutionary War.
So Haiti is deeply embedded in our history.
We owe the Haitian Revolution for 40% of our landmass for New Orleans culture, for much of our food culture.
So Haiti is embedded.
In our history, it's a part of our history.
We also destroyed Haiti after they became freed by literally refusing for 65 years to recognize them as a state.
And then on top of that, the U.S.
kept trying to occupy and own Haiti's wealth.
We confiscated all of their gold at one point and flew it to the United States.
We keep overturning their governments.
So we owe them more than anything.
We should be grateful to the Haitian people.
And we owe them for a lot of our existence as a country much more than we owe her ancestors.
I think I lost you, Dawn.
Or maybe I got lost.
Oh my gosh, Don went away.
Oh, now I'm hosting the Don Lemon Show.
